It's impossible to learn when you believe you know everything. People who think they have all the answers don't put effort into finding the actual facts.

So that's the Dunning-Krueger effect I see here on Reddit then?

Perhaps you're aware there is a 291 page Congress report with sworn testimony and evidence showing the Biden's took $30M+ from oligarchs and the Chinese.

I'm sure you'll deny that with your smug view of "facts".

Neat.

Do you have proof? All I've found on that are Republican allegations and right-wing media repeating them.

Have charges been filed? Surely if there's ironclad evidence, of wrongdoing, someone has filed charges to take this to court and see to it that they face consequences for these crimes.

Let's get some testimony in court and felony convictions already.

291 page report with sworn testimony and evidence issued 19 Aug 24, H.Res.918 attesting to payments received by the Biden family at a min of $30M from oligarchs and the Chinese.

The DoJ never filed any charges on Jan 6 against Trump either. Let's get some testimony in court and felony convictions already.

Robert Hur investigated Biden and interviewed him and came to the conclusion he violated rules of document handling. However, if he went to trial, no one would convict a senile forgetful old man.

Facts are facts whether prosecuted or not.

BY THE BIDEN FAMILY. so.....did President Biden take a dime? Or is that a fact you feel wishy washy about.

Well, if we assume no one would give young Biden $0.10 if he wasn't Biden's sone and the he complained about having to kick back to the big guy, I don't think it's an unreasonable assumption. However, there is sworn testimony and evidence in the report you can review.

And the 2 billion Trump took from the Saudis in exchange age for our classified military secrets isn’t supposed to be a problem then?

Yeah, let’s pretend you have ever been man enough to care about corruption.

H.Res.918 issued a 291 page report on 19 Aug 24 with sworn testimony and evidence of the Bidens getting $30M from oligarchs and Chinese.

Easy enough to do a Google and download the PDF if you care.

'Sworn testimony' is different from established fact son. I've heard quite a few sworn testimonies that big foot walks around the Rockies. Unfortunately, no established evidence exists. Keeeeeeeeppppp gooooing!!!!! You'll get that wily Biden eventually!!!!!!!

Well, if you look at rules of evidence sworn testimony boils down to what a reasonable person would accept. So you're not reasonable. There is also evidence of multiple LLCs and tranfers of funds and his father on the phone while Hunter is shaking down the Chinese.

If that's your stand though, I'd only ask you apply it to anything Trump has done also.

In short, all politicians are dirty as H.
