    Well of course they would. They said they had the evidence, yet they have released nothing, it's an embarrassment of an attempt at a story, and it's an embarrassment at the faux outrage of a "cover up". It's completely pathetic, and anyone still trying to big it up after tuckers on air meltdown is a completely pathetic loser.

    The problem is the mainstream media is trying to obfuscate with a claim that the Ukranian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was not investigating Burisma and its owner and this is evidently false. Mr. Shokin as state prosecutor had confiscated four large houses and a luxury car of Burisma owner Mr. Mykola Zlochevsky just ten days before then vice prosident Joe Biden started to press for his firing. Joe Biden is on video bragging about this, and somehow the email outlining what is expected of Hunter Biden in the lead up to that. The investigation in Mr. Zlochevsky was dropped soon after the prosecutor was fired. The Bidens have not been able to deny the authenticity of the emails orthat a meeting took place with the vice-president and a Burisma manager.

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    A REPUBLICAN committee cleared Biden, the attempt to resurface it via missing evidence (that they claim they had), and then pointing at the mean media for not talking about it is absolutely pathetic.

    Fox and NYP are also mainstream and covering it, no one else will touch it because it's a big bag of baloney with a side filling of horse manure. It's not a cover up because there's a big fat ZERO to cover up.

    Positive Trump polls spark polling circle debate

    ‘People Are Going To Be Shocked’: Return of the ‘Shy’ Trump Voter?


    Robert Cahaly, the Trafalgar Group: Well first, we don’t do national polls, and that’s for the same reason I don’t keep up with hits in a baseball game: It’s an irrelevant statistic. But the battleground-state polls are a little closer [than the national polls], and there’s a lot at play. People are going to be shocked. A lot of people are going to vote this year who have been dormant or low-propensity voters. I think it’s going to be at an all-time high.

    The models of who’s going to turn out this year are very flawed. What type of person comes out for Trump? They’re not a normal election participant. They’re a low-propensity voter. We included them in all of our surveys in fall 2016, and we are including them now.

    source

    Biden is defending territory that has not voted Republican since 1972 and US senator Amy Klobuchar (D) is telling Democrat voters to vote in person or carry their ballots to the polling station. That is not a good omen for Democrats.

    You'd be wrong on that one... very wrong.

    People will be voting on who they think is the best person to bring that economic prosperity back. That person is clearly Trump...

    It's certainly not Bumbling Biden, who is going to tax the fcuk out of everyone and tear down the highly lucrative energy industry piece by piece if he gets in.

    And the China plague was not Trump's fault... so people know that the economic situation was largely out of his hands. Just like everyone else that was hit with this virus. And the early growth numbers for the economy look really good, even with certain states not fully playing ball.

    So, with all of that and the huge amount of positive rhetoric that he is sending out to the people about the future... it's a no brainer. Trump2020!! :)

    Thankfully the American people disagree with you and polling shows that they trust Biden more than Trump on the economy as it stands.

    Trump is full of shít, he claimed that China has paid billions in tariffs, as anyone with half a brain knows the people buying the goods pay the tariffs not the people manufacturing them in China. That's just one example of his lies around the economy and his impact on it.

    Truth bombs from Greenwald. Many who watch this will never understand it!

    Oh, they understand it alright - they're just happy about it, that's why they won't speak out against it.

    Yesterday Twitter even locked out the CBP Chief for daring to the tell the truth about what a success Trump's border wall has been:

    Here is the timeline for American vice-presidents Joe Bidens actions.
    Feb. 12: Biden spoke to Poroshenko by phone. “The two leaders agreed on the importance of unity among Ukrainian political forces to quickly pass reforms in line with the commitments in its IMF program, including measures focused on rooting out corruption,” the White House said.

    Feb. 16: Poroshenko announced he had asked Shokin to resign. [...]

    Feb. 18: Another call took place between Biden and Poroshenko. [...]

    Feb. 19: Poroshenko announced he has received Shokin’s resignation letter. It still required parliamentary approval, and Shokin did not go away quietly.

    That same day, Biden spoke separately to Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. [...]

    March 16: Reports emerged that Shokin was back at work after having been on vacation. [...]

    March 22: Biden and Poroshenko spoke again by phone [...]

    March 29: The Ukrainian parliament, in a 289-to-6 vote, approved Shokin’s dismissal.

    On March 31, Poroshenko met with Biden during a trip to Washington, and Biden emphasized that the loan guarantee was contingent on further reform progress beyond Shokin’s removal.

    On April 14, Biden and Poroshenko had another call. Biden congratulated the president on his new cabinet and “stressed the urgency of putting in place a new Prosecutor General [...]

    May 12: Poroshenko nominated Yuriy Lutsenko as the new prosecutor general.

    On May 13, in a phone call, Biden told Poroshenko he welcomed Lutsenko’s appointment [...]


    source

    and
    On February 4 2016 Interfax-Ukraine reported:

    The movable and immovable property of former Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine Mykola Zlochevsky in Ukraine has been seized, according to the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO).

    "The PGO filed a petition to court to arrest the property of the ex-Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, the Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, Mykola Zlochevsky, from which arrest was withdrawn, and other property he actually uses, namely housing estate with a total area of 922 square meters, a land plot of 0.24 hectares, a garden house with a total area of 299.8 square meters, a garden house in the territory of Vyshgorod district, a garden house of 2,312 square meters, a land plot of 0.0394 hectares, a Rolls-Royce Phantom car, a Knott 924-5014 trainer," reads the report.

    The PGO clarifies that the court satisfied the petition on February 2, 2016.
    ...
    Zlochevsky is suspected of committing a criminal offense under Part 3 of Article 368-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (illicit enrichment).

    On February 2 Shokin confiscated four large houses Zlochevsky owned plus a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a "Knott 924-5014 trainer". (Anyone know what that is?)

    Ten days later Biden goes into overdrive to get him fired. Within one week he personally calls Poroshenko three times with only one major aim: to get Shokin fired.

    You're conflating three different things to fashion an absurd narrative. Nobody has complained that the mainstream liberal media haven't talked about the missing (and now found) documents. There is more than enough damning evidence for the mainstream media to be reporting on what has gone on.
    Fox and NYP are also mainstream and covering it, no one else will touch it because it's a big bag of baloney with a side filling of horse manure. It's not a cover up because there's a big fat ZERO to cover up.

    So, you believe Tony Bobulinski lied to the FBI about meeting with Joe Biden about Hunter's business dealings in China?

    We even have audio of Biden being told by the Ukraine President at the time, that they were happy with Shokin, supported him, felt he wasn't corrupt, and that he had done nothing wrong to warrant being removed, but that they had done so anyway to get the $1 Billion in aid they were promised ....... and Joe's response to that was: "Great".

    Yesterday Twitter even locked out the CBP Chief for daring to the tell the truth about what a success Trump's border wall has been:





    I'm not a supporter of Trump. People's political musings his the worst president ever, well for me, doesn't stack up with reality. The Trump presidency the 4 years was a mixed bag of events. There economic, foreign impact decisions Trump pushed forward on his own has benefitted the American worker and sustained global peace.

    I do believe Trump was right in saying more NATO members should pay more for defense. Him meeting the North Korea Leader has calmed that situation down. People seem to forget this country was firing ICBMs over Japan territory on a monthly schedule.

    Trump wanted out of Syria and out of the middle east, unfortunately the military industrial complex and the intelligence community wanted a permanent stay there and they forced Trump to change his mind on that. There's some rational thinking going on there in the head of Trump but the influence of outsiders sometimes forces Trump to not go the extra mile to end pointless endless wars. There some accomplishments that the anti Trump media will never face up to and say that's a job well done.

    There some ugly truths too and i see both sides points at times..

    People are expecting some fairytale ending if Biden wins, they are in for a shock. His an establishment guy who trusts the intelligence community apparatus conclusions on all matters. In challenging times Biden may be the worst choice right now. China, Russia and NK are not going away. Biden probably will be better leader for Iran. Biden for me is a guy who easily roll over for the military industrial complex.

    Twitter likely flagged the guy tweet because it's something Trump wanted build. And one side doesn't like Trump being a success! I have no idea if the wall helps the border stays quiet and helps the fight with drugs. Twitter associated the news with Trump

    .. a private company's platform.

    Again you show (along with others) that you support unethical behavior just because it effects those whose views you don't agree with. Not a good look.

    Social media companies position themselves as public platforms and are afforded a certain level of immunity from being responsible for what users post as a result of that.

    Well, as Ted Cruz said:
    "If they’re not going to be neutral and fair, if they’re going to be biased, we should repeal the immunity from liability so they should be liable like the rest of us"

    Says the user who was convinced Trump was an agent of the Kremlin and that he bribed President Zelensky to get dirt on Biden, not to mention all the other utter guff you have posted about Trump which has been shown to be totally false. From him apparently telling 20,000 lies to instructing people to inject bleach. You're in no position to be telling others that they fill their head with "shite" particularly when the person you're talking to called the outcomes of the Mueller report and the farcical Impeachment correctly, unlike yourself.

    I think that if you check out my posts that I claimed things like "There was a meeting in Trump Tower with Natalya Veselnetskaya" and gave sources versus "Trump was working with the Russians." I stuck to what was verifiable.


    With the Zelinski stuff, I posted what Trump said and was verified by Trump himself. He did ask for an investigation of Biden, which coincidentally is the same nonsense going on now that you are promoting.

    No.

    The details surrounding the discovery, chain of control and release of information relating to Hunters email raised more red flags than a Chinese festival, which, ironically, if Hunter had every celebrated one, would be used as more 'evidence' by Guiliani et al that Joe was unsuitable for office.

    Nope, you didn't just post what Trump said, you misrepresented it, and suggested it supported the charges that were levelled at him, like so many others at the time.
    He did ask for an investigation of Biden, which coincidentally is the same nonsense going on now that you are promoting.

    lol @ "coincidentally" - of course it's the same matter, duh, that's hardly coincidental. Just because you all had your heads buried in the sand and dismissed Trump's legitimate concerns about the Bidens off as him just looking for "dirt" (given y'all were so focused on him being convicted) does not mean that his request of Zelensky (to find out the truth about what went on) was not legitimate. It very much was and clearly so, to anyone that stopped for two seconds and what was patently clear.
    You seem to think that the Mueller report exonerated Trump. It did not.

    The Mueller report did not exonerate him, that's true - but that's because it couldn't given Trump was never charged with anything and so there was nothing to exonerate him off and even if there was, Mueller would not have that power:

    If the NYT had ran the very same story, only about emails on a laptop that had belonged to Don Jnr, not a chance Twitter would've blocked it.

    It will be interesting to see what the NYT runs on Sunday and how twitter will respond

    The day twitter hack the nypost and take it down and stop people reading its rubbish, I for one will condemn twitter!!

    But if twitter and boards.ie have policies about what I can post on their site... Meh.

    Boards can be sued for content posted. That is why they moderate aggressively at times.

    Twitter it seems cannot. If a side is moderating and editoralising then of course it should be open to lawsuits, particularly if it's done so inconsistently.

    i think JB will win. also think if R win the house they will impeach him.

    how are things looking?

    The Republicans are looking at a net loss of between 10-15 seats in the house, some pollsters have even predicted as high as 25, so that ain't happening

    Good morning Outlaw Pete

    What did you think of Donald accusing doctors of inflating the number of covid deaths in order to pocket a few extra quid for themselves?

    Those early vote figure are updated everyday

    There will be exit polls as well on the day but the ones in 2016 proved to be very inaccurate

    Exit polls may be a bit more difficult this time around.

    There has been so much more early and postal voting that the numbers of people voting in person on election day will be smaller and we don't know if they will be skewed one way or the other. The polling companies do exit poll early and postal voters, but exit polling over the phone is likely to be much less accurate than a face to face encounter with someone who has just walked out of a polling station.

    There are practical difficulties too. In normal years, an exit poller would approach a voter and offer them a ballot paper and a pencil to fill it in with. With Covid, exit pollers need to keep their distance and take other precautions with the materials, so there is some risk of some people being reluctant to get involved in exit polls.

    It may amount to nothing, but just adds a little more uncertainty for me.

    I’d still put my money on ould Donald to win. A lot of Americans will vote for him, a lot of them who wouldn’t admit it publicly. The US is very driven by self enrichment, a lot of ordinary people want that, the less they pay in taxes the better, they are a very divided society and will continue to be so. He is just a catalyst to that. I think we’ll see a repeat of 2016, he is being given no chance by media but wishful thinking won’t budge him. To quote George Bush, they’re misunderestimating him big time!

    But that was reported to be happening back around may/June, wasn't it?.. not for themselves, but the hospitals..if they put a death down as covid it was worth 10k ISH, if they stuck them on a ventilator for a couple of days it went up to 40k ISH..
