Progress, progress!
As we’ve noted, many Democrats have decided they’re fine with throwing Hunter Biden in jail if it allows his father to get away with accepting bribes. Early on, we saw bits and pieces about how this is really the story of a father’s love for his son: As a crack addict, Hunter made some bad decisions. But her beloved father Joe Biden was always there to chat about the weather.
Now, on Twitter, we see Democrats all but encouraging the Justice Department to throw Hunter in jail and throw away the key. That $20 million+ from foreign oligarchs into the Biden family accounts was all Hunter’s doing and Joe had no idea. Republicans have no evidence that Biden has done anything other than discuss the weather with his son’s business associates.
Lo and behold, the Washington Post publishes an op-ed on Saturday that says Hunter Biden shouldn’t get special treatment. They were probably crying when the plea deal, including blanket immunity, fell through, but now they’re ready for Hunter to face the consequences of his crimes.
David Marcus captured something really special in the piece … the writer admitted that Joe Biden’s behavior “wasn’t flawless.”
“So far, the record suggests that President Biden’s behavior has not been impeccable, but neither has it been criminal.”
WaPo has officially reached “not flawless.” https://t.co/WDzJpOlMT3

But this is exactly the opposite of what both the White House and the mainstream press have been telling us. Loving family man Joe had no connection to any of this. He hadn’t even discussed business with his son, not even when he was put on speakerphone during business meetings.
What is ETA talking about “looks like he may have been bribed?”

After the elections.

Yes.
He is exposed, and they are exposed.

“So far, the record suggests…”
Lots of room for future movement in this line.

“WaPo has officially reached ‘not flawless.’
This is great. 10% will buy a lot of stain remover.

The Post will probably get a ton of “cancel my subscription” e-mails, even to print this.
From “spotless” to dirty, to dirty, how soon can we expect the truth to evolve from the Democracy Dies in Darkness newspaper?

Isn’t it “flawless”? This is a joke, right?

And why is crime the benchmark? Selling your office and access to your name is unethical and corrupt as hell and should be considered a chargeable offence.

Can someone tell me what the Biden family business is? What do they sell or do?? They made 20 million in a few years, how do I get into this kind of business?

How do Democrats ALWAYS walk on the edge of criminality?
On the face of it, they play “by the book”, but underneath it stinks to high heaven and is always the most evil bully tactic on the planet.
And they get away with it every time 😡

The next step will be that Biden was just helping his family make money like any family man would. The media are nothing but clown propagandists.
— Larry Milford (@LarryMilford5) August 12, 2023
It would be “absurd” not to help your family earn money.
It’s not quite All the President’s Men, but the progression is pretty remarkable

Does the writer give even one example of “not flawless”? Because the Democrats and the White House are unwilling to admit even that.
