Uh, huh... I read just fine, I just don't like your flippancy and gimmicks to get out of trouble for saying outright stupid shit, like your partisan, or bias, or everyone is bias. I called you out for constantly using far right sites, and people, to back up your argument. Don't deflect, and try to make it about me.
You don't tolerate any kind of accusation towards the left, and is always attacking only the right. All of your posts are like this, aside from the occasional defense of Trump. You seem to dislike moderates more than Trump.
Again, you compare people to Stalin communists and Nazis. So, what do you know about moderates, when you are constantly creating false equivalences. To you what is worse is as equal to rumors - all politicians are corupt. Trump is as bad as you can get, and you don't have to be on any political spectrum to know that. Hell, Fox news is fighting itself between the right and far right.
It also doesn't change the fact that Trump basically released damning evidence against himself, because he has a different interpretation of what is wrong, while you hold rumors as equal value to outright corruption. You need fucking evidence, and reliable witnesses, for that to stand. The only reason I grudgingly came to his defense over the Russia thing is that there is no concert evidence that ties him to collusion with Russia, yet.
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Viewed as Most Liberal Late-Night Hosts, Poll Finds
Son, that is a public opinion poll. Take the political test and post the results. I'm sure you will give multiple excuses for not taking it - and if you do brave it don't always hit the center answer, because that make you look fake.
According to mediabiasfactcheck, the Hill is actually left leaning. But it seems that you consider anything that is not far left as far right.
Oh, now you are trying to read my mind... And I specifically wrote "site, and people"(multiple times). Solomon comes under "people".
How many retractions CNN, NYT and the notorious Buzzfeed had in the last year?
Mistakes are one thing, partisan nonsense is another.
So it's a mistake when it comes from the left, and partisan when it comes from the right.
You are the one who said "right. I didn't say that. I might lean that way, but I have seen plenty on the left do the same thing, including Cobert. But that don't change the fact that what he said in this case was more right on than the far right on Biden.
*If you want to continue this shit, then take it to the centrist topic. I am done with it here.
I don't debate, or argue, to win, or to do it for publicity and money. I do these things for my own reasons. To have my arguments challenged. To learn and understand. To promote/defend my views, and my interests. Ect. And they are mostly selfish reasons. And I also have certain pet peeves that dictate my actions in these topics.
If you don't debate to win, then why did you say that the ball is in my court?
Because it's your turn to back up your claim, after I poked holes in it in the 1st and 2nd round. We are now in the 5th round, and you are still using questionable witnesses, and claims of evidence, too support your claim against Biden? While not being able to exactly say what the corruption is against him is. All you can argue is "It's suspicious", which don't mean a whole since that can be used against anyone for any action you don't like.
The only issue I see with this is that Hunter doesn't speak Russian. Going specifically to Ukraine looks very suspicious.
And you spend more time talking about Hunter Biden, instead of Trump, in a topic specifically about Trump. Can you say off topic, and deflection? You are trying to create a false equivalency to claim that a centrist is just as bad as a partisan hack like Trump, who pretty much purged himself every time he tweets, or talks. That is all I am reading from you.
That is his view of things, but what did he have to show for it for 4 years, other than just claims? Did he send anyone to jail? Did he break up some corruption ring? Strangely, you don't see any one defending him by pointing out his actual accomplishments, in one of the most corupt countries in the world. And Biden was not the only one unhappy about the prosecutor, other domestic and international organizations were unhappy with him as well. Even his Deputy Prosecutor quite, accusing his office of being corupt and lawless.
Shokin showed video of Ihor Mosiichuk allegedly demanding bribes for his political services. The previous prosecutor, Vitalii Yarema, also accomplished next to nothing. I've been part of politics a few times, my guess is in these circles if you accomplish something you're kicked out. As happened to Kasko. It's a corruption infestation, and kicking Shokin out wouldn't scratch the problem. Politics is the same everywhere.
One possible minor act alone does not atone for doing nothing, while being accused of lawless and corruption, or ignoring it, in a country known for corruption.
And the article describes it as "video evidence was demonstrated allegedly showing Radical Party National Deputy Ihor Mosiichuk demanding bribes for his political services".
While a few paragraphs down "Mr. Shokin’s legacy also includes deceiving the public, including Western diplomats", and few more paragraph down "The biggest scandal marring Mr. Shokin’s tenure involved his alleged sabotage of the reformers’ attempts to arrest and prosecute the so-called “diamond prosecutors.”
Did you actually read the article, because it's not a glowing testament to Shokin, or did you just get the link from a far right site? Stop defending the guy, and trying to compare him to Biden on even less.
This is one huge grey area. Foreign countries will often hire Americans who are connected to powerful people, or have government experience and know how to navigate that system. It's the same reasons why most politicians find cushy jobs as corporate lobbyists after serving in government. There is nothing illegal about this, and it doesn't mean it's outright corruption either - even if it looks bad, and is suspicious
It's just conspiracies.
Like yours on Biden.
I ignore political commentator as much as much as I can. Sometimes they can offer interesting facts, and ideas, but most of them will spin those facts out of control by focusing too much on them, or other minor details, to spin an elaborate conspiracy for partisan reasons.
Aside from Stephen Colbert? He's not just a comedian.
Son, the whistle blower on Trump certainly had opinion on what is right and wrong, for why he acted. And the only time I occasionally watch a segment of Colbert is when I read an article about something he said on Yahoo News. I don't watch him otherwise.
You also have to look for patterns. For example, the biggest claims against Biden in Ukraine are from fired prosecutors there, who are contradicted by people who knew them.
That's true. It's also possible that both Shokin and Biden are corrupt. Biden should have called Obama when he refused to give the aid, but maybe he was just being overconfident.
This scandal might actually be good for Biden. He seemed a bit slow before, now he's more on the offensive.
Really? So, you support what Trump did, then? So far, all I see is you trying to get rid a centrist candidate with a salacious conspiracy, so it just leads to Trump, or Sanders, for the presidency. You must of never heard of how rumors have easily taken down political candidates before.
