This close to the elections, Republicans believe they can do the Democrats a favour and sack Joe Biden with the answer to a simple question
“Did U.S intelligence or the FBI give then-Vice President Joe Biden or his boss, President Barack Obama, briefings about the risks of the Biden family business?”
From here:
You might be tempted to think that the Hillary Clinton defence applies – “What Difference At This Point Does It Make?!’
The Democratic Party has only one tactic to re-elect Jo Biden – the “pity vote”.
From the Just the News article:
“House Republicans have built a mountain of incontrovertible evidence that Hunter Biden made millions while his father was vice president from business associates with unsavoury backgrounds, including a Ukrainian energy firm deemed corrupt by the State Department, a Chinese executive convicted by DOJ of corruption, a Russian oligarch unable to get an American bank account because of red flags, a Romanian oligarch charged with bribery in his country, and two Americans convicted of securities fraud.”
With the kicker:
“The two chairmen leading Joe Biden's impeachment inquiry are zeroing in on a simple question that could transform their case: With so many red flags surrounding Hunter Biden, did U.S intelligence or the FBI give then-Vice President Joe Biden or his boss, President Barack Obama, briefings about the risks of the Biden family business?”
The answer is probably “yes”, but the “official” answer is probably going to be “no” – which will give rise to the question “exactly what do the agencies charged with investigation, intelligence, and security – actually investigate and secure in an intelligent way.
I would ask whether – since these are international crimes and there is a Five I’s security apparatus - foreign intel on bank transactions, bribes and crimes was also made available to UK agencies and what phone calls were had or monitored between NATO and Five eyes intel agencies and national leaders!
Hey, maybe the Republicans should commission a “Scrap Iron” dossier and release that like the Democratic Party release a “Steele Dossier” comprising the fairy tales dreamed up by committing treason with Russians!
Ponders: How is Trump’s attorney-client privilege breachable and the Hillary Clinton and Perkins Coie client attorney privilege not breachable also?
Same goes for Hunter Biden’s legal team and accountants.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but here’s a thought. Should Resident Biden complete his term, the US will have suffered under 12 years of the last 16 with Obama/Biden presidency.
The national debt when Obama assumed office at the end of 2008 was 11.8 trillion bucks. It is now closing in 35 trillion bucks. National debt increased from 20.0 trillion at end 2016 to 21.6 trillion bucks at end 2020 on Trump’s watch. So, 23.2 trillion bucks under 12 years of Obama/Biden and 1.6 trillion bucks of debt increase under four years of Trump.
Remember, Trump was impeached TWICE for high crimes and misdemeanours that the Democratic Party fabricated from whole cloth. Biden has not yet been impeached for his myriad of high crimes and misdemeanours that he actually committed – including treason.
Oh, and by the way, prices are up almost 50% since the end of 2008.

From here:
U.S. Federal Government Tax Revenue by Year (thebalancemoney.com)
“Per the White House's projections, income taxes are slated to contribute $2.6 trillion. Another $2.2 trillion should come from payroll taxes. This includes $1.3 trillion for Social Security, $399 billion for Medicare, and $56 billion for unemployment insurance. Corporate taxes would add another $467 billion.”
The interest on 35 trillion bucks at 4% comes to 1.4 trillion dollars – 1.75 trillion bucks a year at 5%.
Deficits to fund the “crazy” like “net zero” policies and huma trafficking will cost trillions more over the next four years, unless these lunatic and criminal policies can be reversed – on top of what it costs to take care of Americans now.
How the US will avoid a credit downgrade to junk once the interest burden exceeds federal income tax is beyond me.
Imagine an America where every cent in federal income tax goes to pay for interest on debt!
Onwards!!!

Horowitz or Deace made a good point that whomever wins will have inflation fallout to deal with—that president will likely be blamed for it, regardless of who started it. I think Dems will be able to blame others (“Putin’s inflation,” etc) for it mostly, but Reps never do well enough to show the culprit.
