Members Pete1111 Posted March 2 Members Share Posted March 2 Hunter Biden testified in Congress today, behind closed doors. Ben Meisales is a favorite political vlogger. Here he covers the testimony. I learned so much from this. Well worth a listen. My impression of Hunter improved a lot. One might wonder when the GOP will stop, yet by now it seems they never will. floridarob, vinapu, JKane and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Biden took on Matty Gaetz and pretty much destroyed and owned him. That was my favorite takeaway! Pete1111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I overhear them making comments about Trump being persecuted and falsely accused and all kinds of other ridiculous comments. I can understand people who know Trump for what he is, but still prefer him over the alternative....(especially Clinton, she's nasty), but how can smart people pretend that he's a decent human being.

Trump, Biden , Clinton, can't nation of 330 million people come with candidates more promising than gerontocrats ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush, was more likeable than Gore and Kerry... there was the infamous photo of him and Ellen Degeneres yukking it up in a box at a football game, on Letterman top ten things I'm going to do when I'm president, "give the Oval Office a good scrubbin", Obama more likeable than McCain and Romney, Trump more likeable than Clinton, Biden more likeable than Trump....

vinapu Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I know one Australian lady who once said " my mother always voted for Menzies because she liked his voice ". Those are vagaries of democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't forget that many of the seemingly "likeable" people (such as Dubya Bush) are so concerned with being liked that they frequently follow the advice of truly despicable people. You can't ignore their policies and those of their friends and advisors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
