“17 Tapes” Is The Latest Attempt By Republicans To Smear Joe Biden

[Lastamender]

There is no credible evidence to prove the Presidential Election of 2020 is stolen; NONE. Thus, people like you are lying on the Internet for some odd reason.

Make a reason to support trump?

This below is only one reason not to vote for trump:

A Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition of trump in which he has an unreasonably high sense of their own importance; he needs and seeks too much attention and wants people to admire him. People with this disorder lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.

All kinds of evidence. The people that say it was not stolen are the ones with no credibility.

Here’s a hot tip for anyone trying to peddle a lie: Add a number. Don’t make it too big, or too vague, like “millions.” If you’re talking about stealing an election, 450,000might work. Or 33,000. Or maybe 5,000. But really, all those numbers are a little suspiciously neat. To really make this thing work, the number has to be something solid. Something specific.

Like 17. Now there’s a number.

If you’ve seen that number in the news this week, it’s probably been as part of the latest “scandal” that Republicans have whipped up about President Joe Biden. If you haven’t seen it, count yourself lucky, but don’t think it’s going to last. Because Republicans, led by pidgin expert Sen. Chuck Grassley and whistleblower-hatingRep. James Comer, are claiming that there are “17 tapes” that document their claims of a bribery scandal connected to Biden and his son Hunter.

Have they heard these 17 tapes? No. Have they heard maybe 10 of the tapes? No. How many tapes have they heard? Zero. They’ve heard zero tapes. Because the whole thing is just another part of the extended fantasy tale that Rudy Giuliani brought to them years ago. Like the missing whistleblower and the fake “FBI document,” Republicans know this is all a lie. They just don’t care.


The make-believe scandal that Republicans are now pretending to investigate goes back to May 1, 2019. That’s when Rudy Giulani brought a tale of intrigue, bribery, and blackmail to The New York Times, without any evidence, and the Times did what it does when Guilani brings them anything: They ran it without question.

The claim from the start was based around the fact that while Joe Biden had been vice president, his son Hunter had been on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm called Burisma. In March 2016, Biden pressured Ukraine to fire a prosecutor named Viktor Shokin, heavily hinting that U.S. aid might be withheld if Shokin wasn’t dropped. From this, Giuliani spun a story that Shokin had been investigating Burisma and Biden had him fired to protect his son’s paycheck.

It took less than a week for Bloomberg News to do what The New York Times had skipped over in their efforts to act as a Giuliani transcription service. Bloomberg sent reporters to Ukraine, interviewed officials, checked with Giuliani’s supposed sources, and looked back at the very well documented, very public events. They immediately showed that everything Giuliani was claiming was nonsense.

The reason that Biden put pressure on Ukraine over Shokin was because he was refusing to investigate Burisma. And not just Burisma. Shokin was such a corrupt prosecutor that he was allowing oligarchs to do as they pleased, so long as they shared a little of their profits. It was actually a probe by the U.K.’s Serious Fraud Office that opened the door on how corrupt Shokin was, and how his failure to investigate was turning Ukraine into a hotspot for international criminals. Getting rid of Shokin was a critical step in the fight against corruption in Ukraine.

Shokin himself has even confirmed that he was never investigating Burisma, which is all the testimony that’s needed to show that the whole thing is a farce. The truth is that Biden completely ignored how his actions might damage his son’s income in order to do the right thing in stopping corruption. And, no matter what Giuliani, Trump, or innumerable Republicans have said since then, there is not, was not, has not been, any evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe Biden or Hunter Biden in Ukraine.

But just because a crime doesn’t exist has never stopped Republicans from continuing to “investigate.” Since Republicans gained control of the House, that has meant Rep. James Comer cornponing his way across right-wing media repeating claims he knows are not true. Because truth has f*** all to do with it.

You're the liar. You fucks don't accept evidence.

 

[Rambunctious]

Really? Are you sure? Your comment above makes us wonder, which Biden has closing in on who? Once upon a time, it seems you are out of touch with reality.

Hmmm...I suppose you are wishfully believing - rarely thinking.

You are not fully informed because the media is covering for Joe...

[themirrorthief]

Like the proof the Dems supplied of the phone call they impeached Trump for?

Like the proof they supplied of Trump starting an insurrection.

Like the proof they had that backed up the Steele Dossier?

Proof?

We don't need any more proof than the Dems had.

democrat proof is like smokeless cigarettes......sounds good but still bullshit

 

[otto105]

Truth hurts you traitors don't it.

The truth that you're a squealer doesn't hurt anyone but you.

Come on texmex, you so believed in the tapes. You hung on every word good olde rep. comerer said a couple of weeks ago,

So, now no tapes and just a fugitive grifter hope.


That sucks.

 

[Dragonlady]

Biden is already smeared.

After 30 years of fake Clintons smears, that led nowhere and to no charges for anything, the American voters aren’t nearly as gullible for Republicans lies and bullshit based on no evidence as they once were.

This is especially true of voters who actually fact check the lies that Donald Trump continues to tell them. They got fooled on the Clintons and they got fooled on Trump the first time.

The same voters watch Donald Trump trust himself into knots for four fucking years, going after the Democrats, while everyone whoever worked for him, testified against him in the impeachments, and now in the criminal proceedings.

Voters won’t get fooled again.

I can go 3 /10 for that flaming, melodramatic tirade.

I could have gone with a better score if you had typed in all caps.

"Here's a number for you. 18​

That's how many months are left before the Democrats take back the House."​

Skews, I looked to Webster's dictionary to review the meaning of the word "skew" and as I thought, it said and I quote that skew means "to change (something) in a way that makes it unfair or inaccurate."

And your post is unfair about Mr. Guiliani whose biography I also looked up because I remember him as the American mayor that cleaned up his city of the horrendous high crime rates no American city wants, and the New Yorkers were so pleased with his success they kept him as mayor for 6 years until he retired. I also checked his college records, because it is widely known he once had an interest of becoming a man of the cloth, but he well knew he could help his fellow man with a law degree, and, again I quote his biography that says that Rudy Guilani "attended the New York University School of Law in Manhattan, where he was a member of the NYU Law Review[47] and graduated cum laude with a Juris Doctor degree in 1968.[48]

You just conveniently and viciously did a false number on his integrity that was far from how he has always conducted himself which remains as not only good, but he shows the truth in a carefully, rationally, and legally correct manner, unlike some people I read about in the Deep State who get their joy from destroying honest, decent men who, like Rudy Guiliani do their best to help people have better lives through forcing the criminals off the streets, murderers to court where they are tried and if found guilty, are incarcerated as necessary until they are no longer a threat to society. Back when he became mayor, he stood up to the excessive murder rate, excessive automobile thefts, mafia-type groups that killed, maimed, and poisoned their targets they suspected would lower their aggressive, greedy takes and their torture-murders of people for any reason their boss wanted somebody ruined. New Yorkers were sick to their stomach with fear when Guilani took the reins as heroes do and stopped the crime on the New York streets that were making a huge dent on people not going to New York to shop anymore since so many people were being murdered by resistance to any theft in the book the creepy crawly murderers decided to commit.

It took a smart cum laude lawyer named Rudy Guiliani to eliminate the criminal element that was ruling the roost in NYC before he was elected Mayor. He has always fought the good fight for those who were damaged by hateful criminals--people who thought luxury was better than good will toward men, and would do anything for money--deception, strongarming, murdering, stealing, and carjacking by killing the driver of a car they fancied.

If you think conservatives are going to cuddle up to President Biden who has ripped off the American people for over 50 million dollars (very conservative estimate) that are proven Biden extortions and thefts. He's a common damn criminal, and he made money directly from the Foreign Aid package. You'd know that if you had seen the videos that were gong around of Vice President Joe Biden bragging to his billionaire boys club that he described in detail about getting rid of a country's top cop that asked his son his qualifications for a board seat on a profitable organization in a third-world country. If you missed the video of Biden bragging his head off about his extortion of a billion dollars to be delivered in cash by a third world country, your misinformation is not my problem. If you knew about that extortionist's classic theft video, that makes you a prevaricator extraordinaire, but so far it appears that by avoiding the truth, you have lived up to your name's dictionary definition of "changing something in a way that makes it unfair or inaccurate."

Meh.
