    1. @Kip McEwen The indoctrinated lefties will never give up. They are mentally incapable of admitting thy’re wrong. Trump Derangement Syndrome tuns wild!

    1. You think thats a point? Why dont you measure overall aid which has saved more lives total etc and not per capita based on how many people in the countries who the aid.

      Stop and truly think about what you just said to try and make a point…

    1. @S Houston
      If Biden did a crime , then why did not Massacre loving Moscow Mitch launch an investigation about that ?
      Are you now claiming republican that did 9 Benghazi investigations are incompetent fools , specially Massacre loving Moscow Mitch ?
      That was IMF loans , that IMF refused to pay .
      Biden was VP , only president and congress has power over money .
      US VP has no real power until president dies .

  1. every child of a politician always get the high paying job with absolutely no sense or was it just a coincidence 30 patties from China the day Trump took office

    1. @Melvin Melvin I’m an atheist. I’ve never owned a bible. It’s not a chicken coup you smell. It’s your bigotry seething up from your underwear.

    2. @Nevyn of OZ 1973 it’s an obvious joke because no human being can hold their breath for that long. This just proves that the left don’t understand jokes. Oh yeah Allah dammit.

    1. @jsmyth024 just cause you use big words makes you no smarter quite the opposite imo quit following the masses and you will finally see you are all a bunch of puppets with the demonrats pulling the strings have fun when you lose both houses and the election in 2020 go find your safe space

  2. Isn’t there a tape of Joe Biden telling how he threatened to withhold billions from Ukraine if the prosecutor investigating his son was fired. I believe that he gave them 6 hours to accomplish this and they caved and did it.

    1. @Tyler Street lol. Exactly. Enjoy the show. I can see it now.. Millions of democratic minds exploding into giant clouds of glitter.. 😊

    2. verybigname their out in force. They’re just feeling sullied and unusual because they are fast running out of scapegoats for this Dumpster fire administration.

    3. This isn’t the full story, though I agree there is the possibility it was indeed nepotism and corruption.

      Viktor Shokin was the chief prosecutor in 2015 for Ukraine and claimed he would investigate various companies, including the company which Joe Biden’s son was a chair member of. However, Joe Biden was not telling him not to investigate. Instead, he was arguing for the opposite, along with many other people: to investigate more thoroughly and with more haste as well as taking greater action against corruption, which was a standard they expected of the chief prosecutor.

      So, with a billion dollar loan from America on the way (singular, not plural billions), Joe Biden basically said “hire somebody who’ll do their job or you’re not getting this money, I’m leaving in 6 hours to get on a flight, you have until then to do it”. In addition, at the time, the Burisma (gas company Biden’s son was working for) case had been shelved by him for a year or so and he had committed no interest in the case or launched any probes into the company. Based on this, Biden’s actions would make his son more liable to be found guilty rather than less.

      The logical conclusion to be made is that the involvement of the son here resulted in Biden hearing of this lack of justice and as a result he used his position as representative of Obama’s interests to push for improvements in Ukraine’s justice system to strong-arm a removal of ineptitude which had been dragging down the country for years.

      However, there still lies the possibility that the chief prosecutor whose assistants claimed they were fed up with his inaction and uselessness and who had done no research on Burisma at the time and had no interest in the case after shelving it for years had crucial and damning evidence and Joe Biden had him fired as a result and the whole thing was kept quiet. This, however, is far less likely.

  3. Parents often get their kid a cushion job. My mom got me my first job. I didn’t vote for tRUMP but this allegation should be investigated as well real talk…

  4. I told it to him. I told it to her. I told it to them.
    Told it to all of you I even told it on the mountain … he telling as much as techashi 69 😩

  5. Donny Boy knows how to lie,but his body speaks as a true liar,it’s good that his lies have caught up to Donny boy
