@specman the Chinese and the Ukraine? Interesting.

@specman I really want the US to have stronger anti-corruption protections, but this isn't a liberal-specific problem, let alone a leftist problem. The same kind of corruption happened under the previous administration; the Saudi crown dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into Trump's hotels while he gave them an 8 billion dollar arms deal and Trump's daughter had 41 trademarks approved in China during the trade negotiations. If your point is that Biden's personally a bad guy, that's right, but the broader point of this story is that capitalist interests -- foreign and domestic -- are puppetting their government and both parties are amenable to financial influence. They both get away with it because the only competition does it too; the only real way to fix this is to push for serious legislation on the subject.
@BlueVeins do you have proof? I haven’t heard that one. Biden’s family and him to are dealing with China a foreign adversary. They are still looking they still might find more. About the Trump thing that you said happened would have been spotlighted by the mainstream media doesn’t ever report much on the left or democrats in general, yet they scrutinize everything being done by the conservatives especially Trump. Anything to make the right look bad and anything that makes the democrats good. I think the mainstream media leans to the left. What proves this beyond a doubt is look how much coverage is about the democratic president under investigation as a threat to national security, yet they cover the hell out of Trump scrutinizing every little thing that conservatives do.

@whowasthatmaskedman That proves my point thank you!
The media isn’t covering or scrutinizing Biden and he is being investigated and they have been finding deposits from the ccp . For Pete’s sake. But they are covering the Trump trial and scrutinizing everything bad on the conservative side. The mainstream media leans left. They don’t report on the good things that Republicans do. They focus only on the bad.

@specman I think you are missing the point. While I am no fan of either side of US politics and the democrats are loaded with member as bent as a dogs hind leg, it is in fact the Republican side of Politics where the money and the corruption excels. Cheney and the Bushs made billions with cosy deals with the goverment. And all "legal".. Trump has actually done Americans a favor by being so blatently criminal that something had to be done about it.. But he probably wont do any time. Just get a lot poorer and die with court cases backed up for year. 😷

@specman "The media is left-leaning" and "the Left is selling out America" are two completely separate claims though. That said, the media has reported on the business dealings in question.
