First of all, even if your worried about Hunter Biden and whatever he did. Joe Biden (or just about anyone else) would still be INFINITELY BETTER in the white house than our current president.
Secondly, pick a better topic to draw comics about. Perhaps something more significant or important? It’s not like there isn’t plenty to choose from these days.
Does Ariall think this is an indictment of the Bidens? I agree it’s very slightly funny because the “nothing” refers to “wrong” in the first place but “jobs like that” in the second. But if you agree w/ Joe (and the non-partisan folks who have looked into it) that indeed he did do nothing wrong, then still doing nothing wrong sounds like a good idea. And if you disagree, then you’re partisan and I can ignore your sentiment, which is simply not supported by the facts.
You can only yell "squirrel” so many times before there is nobody left who actually believes that you are seeing a squirrel and not just trying distract from the Republican cess pool
Nice dog whistle, Robert. I’d like to see how you handle Trump’s declaration “I’m bringing our troops home.” when those same troops are really being reassigned to duty in Iraq. Maybe you can show those troops golfing at the “Trump Iraq resort and spa”? Come on, Robert, you can do it.
Hair Groppenfuror, his kids, and Jared Kushner have used the office of the presidency to enrich their businesses since the 2016 elections. Still waiting to see your comic regarding these violations of the emolluents clause, Bob.
Sometimes reality if funnier than the comics. For instance – Trump & Crew thinking that Biden is destined to be their opposition. Fools. Yeah I’m lookin’ at you Bobby.
Show me some specific charges or accusations. Just saying there is an appearance of corruption isn’t enough. Whatever job Hunter took he would be accused of trading on his name. In Nick’s words, Get over it buttercup.
Getting on a board.. a token job.. a movie star.. because of your daddy.. is as American as apple pie. Not a person we see or hear on TV.. got there on merit alone.. not a one… with the possible exception of folk on Fox.. some, got there just on looks.
Joe’s not the one. That promise won’t need to be made…
When Bidden entered politics, it was on the need for younger leadership, and fresh ideas…he was right back then… and he has had a good record…NOW, is the time to repeat that cycle…
I value the leadership senators Sanders, Warren, and vp Bidden, have provided…. we would not be where we are without them. They have done the hard work of driving all of the pitons for us to follow… but we function as a relay team… Buttigieg is ready to step in like Bidden did so many years ago…
Kids along with close family relatives using family connections to make $$$ in made up just for them jobs has been around for several decades, both Parties. But when the Trump scions talk trash about Biden’s son, and not a single member of the MSM says a single word about their own massive grifting, is, to me, the worst part of this entire campaign by Trump and his idiot sons
This tired and despicable ploy of the Republicans to bash the behavior and ethics of a Democrat and his family without evidence should lose traction soon in intelligent corners of the universe. Then again when supporting the Nitwit in the White House you go with the hand you were dealt.
Ariail thrives on ambiguity; “wrong” can mean “illegal” and it can mean “unethical.” Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma Holdings Ltd was stupid, unethical, undeserved, and, at best, problematic, but it wasn’t illegal. He is a known substance abuser—-possibly in recovery now. He shamelessly let his father’s name be used by the corporation for its own commercial and political purposes. I suppose it’s not out of line to observe that Ariail’s use of “wrong” is itself possibly unethical, since Ariail clearly intends the word to IMPLY “illegal” in the minds of those who deem Biden père a political threat to the Capo-in-Chief. Can we repose confidence in a political cartoonist who employs ambiguity to lampoon and needle political figures for their questionable judgements and idiotic actions? If those are the standards of a political cartoonist, how are they different from the standards of his targets?
To pretend only the family members of Democrats profit off the family name and government positions of other family members is true ignorance. Where is your criticism the last three years of the Trump family’s profiteering in the name of US official business?
Clearly we have been living in a “kleptocracy” the last three years which has greatly benefited the Trump family, their associates and their business enterprises. That said, I don’t believe that Hunter Biden is guilty of anything other than being an opportunist for taking that position with Burisma. If he had done anything wrong, given the swamp that Ukraine was then, it would have certainly come out by now. However, the appearance was “icky” if nothing else ~ as the State Department apparently pointed out at the time ~ and it has now come back to haunt the former Vice President. This isn’t going to go away and that is a shame for Joe but it is a clear signal that his time has passed. ~ I hope that he will find an opportunity to graciously bow out of the race and put his support behind a candidate that can defeat President Trump, someone to fix the country and get us out of the “crisis-of-the-day” situation that we currently find ourselves in.

The only person worse than a liar is a hypocrite. The worst? A lying hypocrite. Welcome to the Trump family, their friends, and their administration.

Whatever Biden and his son did or did not do, totally justifies the massive corruption of Trump.
