Do you have any proof where Hunter Biden profited from his father's presidency, just a link or two, not your opinions. Or, why is Comer in a permanent state of indigestion?

How is that obfuscating, Chickie? Or are you simply demonstrating that you have all the intellect of a rotting turnip?

Is that a disclaimer? Throw shit and then say I am not so sure?
On a related topic, how much of the money that Trump raised with his "Save America" PAC has actually spent on this noble (barf) cause? Or is this PAC part of his business enterprise like the Trump charity? Whatever happened to it, the charity?

Have fun with that.

There are several distinct differences. First, there is simply no hard evidence that Joe Biden did anything untoward, yet a NY court has adjudicated that Trump has been a persistent business fraud for years (and perfectly willing to continue his fraudulent practices even while President). And secondly, the emoluments clause does not make exceptions for the income of corrupt businessmen (and the emoluments clause did not apply to Biden when he was out of government). Indeed, a great deal of Trump's emoluments derived from properties (e.g., the DC Trump hotel) acquired through fraudulent business practices.
And now that we find out that Trump enriched himself by ~$8 million in foreign money while president (prohibited by the Constitution without specific Congressional consent) and that this only represents the first 2 years of his presidency, 4 of his 500 business entities and 20 of 191 nations. IOW, this $8 million is the tip of the iceberg, yet your boy, Comer Pyle, deliberately halted any investigation into it (or Kushner's $2 billion).
In contrast, Hunter Biden (and by extension Joe Biden) has been thoroughly investigated by DOJ for 5 years (with nary a whimper of "witch hunt" or accusations of weaponization by Trump's DOJ (who initiated the investigation and had a record of weaponization (the Durham investigation)) with no criminal behavior from Joe Biden alleged (for that matter, Comer hasn't even alleged any specific criminal behavior by Joe Biden).
You are such a credulous MAGAMoron that you're simply incapable of realizing that Comer's folly is nothing other than a dishonest, ham-handed attempt to create some Biden equivalency to Trump's rampant criminality. Abe Lincoln (and P.T. Barnum) were right about people like you - you can indeed fool some of the people all of the time.

‘We Have Receipts!’ House Rep Gloats Over Trump Foreign Payments on Morning Joe — Slams Trump’s Corruption
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/we-have-...ps-corruption/
Quote:
“Let’s be just clear. There is zero evidence, of course, as we know, that links present Biden with any wrongdoing. Republicans cannot come up with any information or any sort of wrongdoing,” Garcia replied. “And they are clearly projecting. I mean, this report shows where the real grift and corruption and illegal activity is.”
“We have receipts, we have bank records, we have accounting. It’s all there laid out in the report. And there is much more that has yet to be uncovered,” he added. “And so that Republicans it’s incredible to see the hypocrisy that the House Republicans, that James Comer, that the new speaker, are trying are trying to put together with this impeachment scam that they have put together, essentially to try to attack the Biden family.”
“But President Biden has no business interests as he serves as president,” he added. “Donald Trump had a complex web of ways of pulling in money from foreign governments to enrich himself and his family. And so we’re going to make that contrast. Clearly, Republicans want to just throw whatever they can at the wall.”

When the House is once again under Dem leadership, Donny will finally get what’s due.

From another post of mine.

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. There are people who no matter how much evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand. And others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment and all they want to be is right even though they are not.

Donald Trump’s Mental Abilities Come Under Scrutiny After a 47-Post Rant About E. Jean Carroll
https://www.inquisitr.com/doubts-ari...e-jean-carroll
Whell hasn’t met the 47-post rant threshold yet, but his mental abilities clearly need to be considered.

Dems PUT THE SCREWS in Trump with HIS OWN Secret Records
Trump lined his pockets in violation of the Constitution with almost $8 million most of which was from China while President, all spelled out in a new bombshell Congressional Report entitled “White House for Sale”. Michael Popok digs deep to solve two mysteries: who tipped Trump off 3 days earlier that that the report would be published against him and how did the Democrats on the Committee get their hands on Trump’s secret accounting and tax records?
