I think you are witnessing it now. Hunter will be his downfall. But the D's don't want decrepit Biden in office again. He is an embarrassment. Like it or not, but most US citizens want a with it President, not some guy who can barely walk and talk. The D's don't either. Do you honestly think that Hunter would be getting so much attention if the Ds really wanted Biden to run? It will be like Lyndon Johnson, he'll bow out to prevent humiliation. That's my opinion. For Trump, he will continue to shoot off his mouth and turn people away from him. He will show how toxic he is and with the indictments against him, there is too much baggage. They keep piling up. Now maybe he is the nominee, but that is far from what I want. I was wrong in 2016 when I thought he was a sideshow freak. He actually won. I don't think lightning will strike twice. There are too many "anyone but Trump" voters out there. mspart

He seems to have a thing about X. Named his kid with an X. Renamed Twitter to X. I have been told he wanted to name paypal X. Seems to be a thing of his. mspart

I don't think Trump will be the nominee. I don't think Biden will be the nominee. mspart predicts - The contest will look a lot different in a year from now. mspart

Which is amazing after all. mspart

Well that would be something. Hopefully they do that. It is only logical. mspart

Yes and it is interesting that Shokin was investigating a company that had Hunter on its Board of Directors. And then Joe wanted Shokin gone. Why just Shokin? There is no answer to that. But it is not difficult to put 2 and 2 together and get Joe was protecting Hunter by getting rid of Shokin. It doesn't take rocket science to figure that one out. Plus, the manner that he did it is a bit unusual I would say. $1 billion is a negotiation, we will give you this money based on these criteria being met. It usually doesn't end up with "you have 6 hours to comply with my demand or no money." I would say very few negotiations are of that nature. Yet that is the barrel Joe Biden had Ukraine rolled over on. mspart

Can we at least have a WC for the 4 non olympic weights? It happened once but I don't remember it happening again. Perhaps I'm wrong on that and would love to find that out. mspart

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4128928-hunter-biden-associate-devon-archer-gives-closed-door-interview/ Archer is apparently testifying. Closed door so it will be interesting how the info gets leaked out. mspart

I have definitely surpassed my wrestling on the wrestling chat boards. As for swimming, I did swim team one year to stay in shape for wrestling. I did learn to swim though!! mspart

He's not looking too happy no. mspart

That's good to hear. mspart

Well there you go. mspart

Ah, that guy!! mspart

There may be a correlation. I think we need a study on Frito sublimation. mspart

Would you rather it be a closed hearing? mspart

It looks worse for the incumbent to be implicated in felony crimes. Better to sweep it under the rug. Kudos to Congress for holding the hearings. mspart

As I said in another thread, our government is just a reflection of us. Unfortunately. mspart

Not really. You have said it repeatedly whether you want to acknowledge it or not. If not for the whistleblowers, the deal with Hunter would be over. Again that is my opinion. It is not over and I attribute that to Congress bringing on the hearing and letting the whistle blowers have their say. And it was a lot. So it is not enough for Congress is my point. They are doing what the admin won't do. I agree it is not really Congress' issue to deal with, but it otherwise was not being dealt with. Perhaps it is time for the Ds in the WH to take things seriously rather than try to save an alleged felon and letting him get away with it. Unfortunately for them, it implies wrongdoing by current POTUS so they want this hushed up as it appears you do based on your many posts on the Hunter saga. Either Joe is lying or Hunter was lying when Hunter told the chinese guy that his dad was sitting beside him and they both would be very angry if this didn't turn out like they wanted it to. And that comment is incontrovertible. Someone ain't telling the truth. mspart

Apparently I didn't know it either. mspart

Agreed. mspart

Who is Mbappe? Never heard of him. mspart

My wife and I were discussing Fritos yesterday. She was wondering how they disappear so fast. I said they just melt. She said no, it is more like they sublime. The disappearance always happens just after the bag is opened so sublimation could be it. mspart

But you are saying that Hunter is not worth the attention. He allegedly broke federal law and pleaded guilty to that. That means he broke more laws than what he is pleading guilty to. And his plea bargain was a sweetheart of a deal. But no more. The hearings with the whistleblowers had a lot to do with the judge's "new" direction on this in my opinion. Maybe not, but the timing is interesting. Defense and prosecutors had different ideas as to what the plea bargain was. Defense thought it meant immunity from future prosecution as well. Feds couldn't say that out loud or write it down because that means they are no longer investigating other wrong doing and that wouldn't look right to anyone. So there is a difference there. That's what I see. The whistleblowers showed that there is a lot more to this story than just the little bit in the plea bargains. The judge rightly called the plea bargain into question. That's my opinion. mspart

This has been interesting reading. Deep Vein Thrombosis (blood clots) was an issue for sure with Covid vaccines. Was especially a problem for the AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson vaccines. Myocarditis (enlarged heart) was a real thing for Covid Vaccines for people aged 12-39. Found this info from a simple google search. I remember these issues as the pandemic was happening. But there were a lot of assurances that the risk was low. mspart

The problem with our government is us. It is only a reflection of society. mspart
