+1. Biden and Trump both sounded so much more intelligent in their younger days; I don't understand why we insist on only allowing people to lead our country when they're at their worst.

And despite billing himself as the alternate to the dynastical system, Trump quickly used the presidency as a vehicle for advancing his family's careers. Biden did the exact same thing as vice president - you can tell me what Hunter Biden did was "legal" till the cows come home, he obviously profited immensely from foreign business opportunities that existed solely because his dad was VP.

It's a problem that so-called liberal people love claiming that a scandal has been "debunked" because it was, in fact, legal to engage in extreme corruption. Do we really accept that this system is legitimate, much less superior to those horrible Russians and Chinese? As if they don't call their corruption legal, too?

I've heard the Biden stuff is all smoke [1]. What's the part of the story that I'm missing? What was the corruption?

Search on DDG for other statements from Tony Bobulinksi. He was one of Hunter Biden's business partners, and a former Navy officer (unlike Hunter, he didn't get kicked out of the Navy for drug abuse). Bottom line: Hunter's income stems almost entirely from foreign powers buying access to his father. Most dangerously, the Chinese.

I'm more interested in the evidence he says he has than his statement.

Where is this?

Here's some of it: https://apelbaum.wordpress.com/2020/11/02/the-biden-rat-year...

Strange that the Cathay Bank wire transfer document has the amount redacted, of all things.

I feel kinda dumb right now because I don't really see a smoking gun here or I just don't understand what I'm looking at.

Even if being, as the GP suggests, over 60 was "at their worst", we don't. Sure, Trump and Biden are unusually old for Presidents. The remainder of the most recent five elected Presidents, Clinton, Bush the Younger, and Obama, were all unusually young for Presidents -- Clinton (3rd youngest at inauguration) and Obama (5th youngest at inauguration) were both under 50 when they took office, W was under 55.
