Blows me away kushner or Ivanka were never investigated but we heard about hunter regularly and they went after him and pressed charges and tried to get him prison time for something no one gets prison time for.

Kushner also was given two billion dollars by the Saudis to "invest" and nobody heard anything more about it.

That was for Khashoggi to be dismembered alive by the Saudi prince’s goons.

I never listened to it, but I heard it was horrific. Nothing like a lazy, evil Saudi prince to get others to do his shit work because he didn’t like a journalist reporting on what a real shit hole Saudi is live in

It’s always one way for republicans and a different way for everyone else. My gawd, it’s so freakin obvious. It’s the biggest injustice existing in our nation where all other injustice emanates from. And it’s all because we have no Fourth Estate informing the citizenry any longer. Mainstream media is nothing but useless and counterproductive.

I mean have you heard of ground news the app? Its literally the fact checker king for all news… i pay for the app because it literally shows how bias a story is with a line graph. As well as it tells ya what the factuality level of it is, whether its regional/national/international news and whether it’s a “blindspot” to those in the left or the right isles… Trust me its a amazing app for those that don’t trust the news be it mainstream or otherwise. To be real though majority of the news outlets have been being real honest and spitting facts recently the most factual news the majority of stories, if not all the stories, it seems is AP news (the associated press) they literally nonstop are rated as ‘very high factuality’ and really they are my go to at this point… but the only one thats consistently marked as ‘mixed factuality’ is fox lol occasionally the others have one marked ‘high factuality’ but the tabloids and fox are the ones always seem to be ‘mixed factuality’ you should check it out its killer stuff for fact checking and making sure your news isn’t misinformation distribution.

And Hunter wasn't even in the god damned administration, unlike those two grifters.

Exactly. Hunter makes a plea deal that would mirror most other plea deals for the crime of being an addict and lying on his background check for a gun. Republicans demand the plea deal be rescinded and he gets jail time, so they rescind it and make Biden pardon him. They get raked over the coals for that while Trump pardons numerous felons for all sorts of real crimes. Nobody says shit about kushner lying on his security clearance forms to be around top secret shit and was still allowed the position of power he was within the government. Not one fucking investigation after making billions off his appt. The fact kushner or ivanka were never even investigated spoke volumes. The whole thing is rigged and the media treats us as stupid as republicans do.

You are not wrong, and what you said is important, at the root of all our problems.

Where are they this time around?

u/Extension_Silver_713 21h ago

Probably staying low until the country is completely under control and all dissidents rounded up. They have to know they should be in jail if we had any true justice system. I’m sure they know this is a full takeover and don’t want it to backfire like last time because the country might not be so willing to let shit slide.

Didn't Trump pardon Ivankas father in law?

u/m-r-mice Massachusetts 1d ago

Right? The MAGAs tried to destroy the life a private citizen, just because his father was the person who defeated their golden idol. Their goal was to break President Biden by destroying his remaining living son who'd struggled with addiction his whole life after seeing is mom and sister die in a car accident that he and his brother survived.

Never mind what absolute coke heads trump’s own sons are while posing with guns and animal’s they slaughtered for shits and giggles all the time. I said they should have drug tested them. If the show had been on the other foot fox would have demanded jr at the least be tested.

Deflection. The idiots who follow him eat it up.

For Fascists, hypocrisy by leaders is not a flaw, but a demonstration of power. They think it's a good thing that their leaders are powerful enough that they can ignore them.

u/Extension_Silver_713 10h ago

Absolutely which is why it’s infuriating they never went after them. Why?? They should have been easier to dig shit up on and real fucking crimes unlike Hunter Biden. So why weren’t any charges filed?

u/japinard 1d ago

Deflection.

u/Extension_Silver_713 22h ago

And yet no one in real power bothered to open an investigation into the real criminals
