Damning testimony shows Biden reeks of corruption despite Democrats' attempts to bury the truth. Don't they know they're throwing away 2024? Joe's their biggest liability

If the Democrats — and their apologists in the media — don't deal with the flagrantly corrupt Bidens now, brace for a second Trump presidency.
The line we're constantly sold, from people sure they're smarter than we are, is that nothing Joe or Hunter Biden has done compares to Donald Trump's malfeasance.
And, of course, that Joe is the only one who can beat Trump in 2024.
Not so. If anything, Joe Biden is now the party's biggest liability.
If he is the nominee in 2024, Trump will unleash his inner pro wrestler and demolish Biden with legitimate claims of corruption, influence-peddling, self-dealing, and cover-ups involving Joe's drug-addicted son Hunter allegedly raking in $17 million over five years from foreign interests, including those in Ukraine and China, then apparently spreading the wealth among Biden family members.
Of lying to protect himself and Hunter.
'I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their business, period.'
That was Joe in 2019.
Yet last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre moved the goalposts, saying that Joe was 'never in' business with Hunter.
Well, Joe has always been one for tall tales.
We've been led to believe, by Joe himself, that Hunter was an independent actor, out on his own. But what if the opposite is true?
What if Hunter was merely Joe's conduit? His bagman?
As Hunter's former business partner and best friend Devon Archer testified before Congress Monday, Joe Biden allegedly phoned into more than 20 business meetings Hunter conducted and also attended business dinners.

As Hunter's former business partner and best friend Devon Archer (above) testified before Congress Monday, Joe Biden allegedly phoned into more than 20 business meetings Hunter conducted and also attended business dinners.
This White House and its defenders would have us believe Joe's presence, be it in person or over speakerphone, was innocent, Joe alternately calling in to discuss trivialities such as 'the weather' or the grave, intimate details of his dying son Beau's condition.
Sure. What else would a sitting vice president discuss with perfect strangers in front of his unpredictable, drug-addled son?
Let's just speak the unspeakable: Joe Biden's constant use of Beau's untimely death and Hunter's lifelong struggle with addiction to deflect uncomfortable questions is disgusting. An obscenity.
So is the brand he's long been peddling: Joe Biden, family man nonpareil, father of the century.
What a joke.
If Joe Biden had been that concerned for Hunter's recent welfare, wouldn't he have pulled Hunter off the global marketplace and said, 'Hey, Hunter, taking millions from foreign interests while I'm in office isn't a good look. Neither is hiding that money from the IRS. In fact, it's unethical if not criminal.'
Or how about this: 'Hunter, you're hurting my chances of becoming president. My legacy.'
Remember 'Promise Me, Dad'? Joe's book about Beau, on his deathbed, more concerned with whether Joe ran for president than his wife (who Hunter took up with) and small children?
If that were true — if Joe Biden really ran for Beau — wouldn't he have put a stop to Hunter's shenanigans?
Then-president Barack Obama appointed Joe Biden his point person on Ukrainian corruption as Hunter Biden reportedly pocketed $83,000 a month from Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
What if Hunter was merely Joe's conduit? His bagman?
So is the brand he's long been peddling: Joe Biden, family man nonpareil, father of the century. What a joke.
And we're meant to believe that was a coincidence?
That Joe Biden — allegedly known to foreign money men as Hunter's 'guy' and 'the big guy' — had zero knowledge of this?
'Burisma would have gone out of business if 'the brand' had not been attached to it,' Archer reportedly told Congress.
Concerns were contemporaneously high enough that State Department officials confronted then-VP Biden, who erupted so heatedly they never broached it again.
That's to say nothing of the sweetheart plea deal Hunter got for tax evasion and a felony firearm offense, or the sudden collapse of that deal last week. Or the DOJ agitating for Archer's one-year prison sentence to begin — a letter sent on the eve of his Biden testimony.
Or of Joe Biden flat out misleading – if not lying – to the country when he turned to Trump during their presidential debate in 2020 and said, 'My son has not made money in terms of this thing about – what are you talking about ? – China.'
Hunter took in millions from Chinese firms.
And what of the IRS whistleblowers' recent testimony that their investigation into Hunter was routinely thwarted, or Joe's sudden decision last week to acknowledge the four-year-old granddaughter he had previously ignored — see? family man! — or Hunter's laptop, which almost every news outlet insisted was a hoax until its legitimacy could no longer be denied?
We are in similar territory here, with much of the mainstream media ignoring or downplaying evidence that points to multiple impeachable offenses. The big names at MSNBC remain obsessed with January 6th (Jen Psaki on Sunday) or plugging their own forthcoming books (Rachel Maddow on Monday).

CNN: 'Hunter Biden sold 'illusion' of access to Joe Biden.'
Sure. What foreign entities would continue to spend millions with no return on their investment?
USA Today: 'Hunter Biden plea deal drama unravels bizarre GOP conspiracy theories.'
If half this stuff was reported about Trump, it would be a five-alarm fire, front page of The New York Times daily. Instead, the Times buried coverage of Archer's testimony on the bottom of page 15 Tuesday, had one op-ed columnist argue Hunter's 'criminal behavior' is not 'a real shocker' and that 'voters mostly don't care', and ran a front-page story about party support remaining strong for Biden.
Contained in the latter article is an uncomfortable truth for party leaders and media defenders: 'Mr. Biden remains broadly unpopular among a voting public that is pessimistic about the country's future, and his approval rating is a mere 39 percent.'
We all see what's in front of us, even if the media refuses to acknowledge it.
If the Dems are serious about defeating Trump, it's time to show Biden the door and have him take Kamala Harris, his other great liability, with him.
To quote Biden's 'best friend' Barack: 'Never underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up.'

They can't MAKE Joe go, and he doesn't want to go for several reasons, including the need to protect his personal ass from legal problems.
