Let's see how long Hunter Biden's ex-partner will stay alive in jail before he'll be "Epsteinized".

Hunter Biden's Ex-Partner Sentenced To Federal Prison For Fraud | ZeroHedge

For those of us who have covered the Hunter Biden scandal for years, one of the most prominent figures in his alleged influence peddling efforts is Devon Archer, his close friend and partner. Archer was sentenced yesterday by federal District Judge Ronnie Abrams to a year in jail. Archer is shown (far left) in this 2014 picture with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.



Archer was convicted of defrauding the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in the handling of a $60 million bond offering. Hunter Biden was not implicated in those dealings.

Abrams was previously reversed after she set aside his 2018 jury conviction. In United States v. Archer, the Second Circuit found that Abrams abused her discretion in tossing out the verdict.

Abrams actually gave a lighter sentence than the 30 months requested by prosecutors, citing the pandemic conditions in prison as “extraordinarily difficult.” The lower sentence may have practically undermined any interest of federal prosecutors to reach a cooperation deal with Abrams in their ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden.

Archer was involved with Hunter as a board member on Burisma Holdings, an Ukraine-based energy company. He was also featured in the controversial picture with now President Joe Biden.

Joe Biden has repeatedly denied knowing anything about his son’s foreign dealings, even though Hunter Biden himself contradicted that account and a key witness Anthony Bobulinski has refuted the denial.

After the photo above was posted on the Burisma website, Demetra Lambros, the VP’s Chief Counsel, later called for the photo to be removed.

One of the most extraordinary exchanges found in Hunter’s text messages reportedly dealt with Archer complaining that he was arrested by Biden “appointees.” According to press accounts, Hunter Biden responded by assuring him that he was covered and “family”:

“Every great family is persecuted prosecuted in the US — you are part of a great family — not a side show not deserted by them even in your darkest moments. That’s the way Bidens are different and you are a Biden. It’s the price of power.”

That exchange is highly concerning since Hunter knew that he was a potential target of a criminal investigation. He was talking to a potential witness who could be used against him and his family in any investigation of their alleged influence peddling and foreign dealings.

I'm not so sure. Trump is at an age where weight starts to drop off naturally, just through senescence. Significant weight loss is not necessarily a sign of health and can actually be a sign of deterioration, especially in an old chonker like the Don.

Only 9 more hours until a speech where the Democrats will suck their own dicks about what a great job they did with the COVID crisis despite the fact that stupid anti-vaxx conservatives fought them every step of the way.

I'll lose the tiny sliver of hope I had in humanity if the American people actually give Biden credit for "ending" Covid.

I don't think Trump is losing weight due to poor health. It seems more of a why that enemies can't use weight jokes.

No, he's obviously not in poor health. What is more likely than not is Joe Biden's health issues poll extremely well and upon realizing that, he hired the best personal trainers money can buy. When 2024 comes around he'll be stupidly fit compared to Joe Biden or Hillary "Like a Side of Beef" Clinton, both of who had obvious health concerns that again, polled very poorly.

In general, I hope the Republican candidate will let Sleepy Joe ramble on and on and on. That, I think, was Trump's major failing in the debates; he was shockingly talking past the sale. He really should know better than that.

Republicans have already said they aren't participating in debates if the current governing body is in place. Dems will hem and haw but the last thing they will allow is Biden or Harris to debate Trump. Honestly it's for the better and i hope Trump has longform discussions on independent media.

So, assuming Bidet doesn't manage to escalate the Ukrainian shit into a Fallout level Great War between nuclear powers or the war doesn't fizzle out, what betting odds are we looking at that the Dems will claim that any unfavorable 2022/2024 election results are Russian cyber attacks or alternatively implement their own "security measures" that cut out republican oversight of the process in the name of protecting us from "the Russians"?

that was already 100% anyways.

Given how his previous two debates were "Trump vs the other guy + Moderation team" I don't blame them for that in the least. And we all remember Obama getting a hand up by the moderator against Romney that one time. Having said that, yeah, unless they replace Biden, there's no fucking way they let the thing go on. Perfect world for the Dems? Virtual debate, where they can use readily available technology to deepfake Biden. Even if they didn't go that route, they'd be able to teleprompter him in real time. They'd be able to arbitrarily cut Trump off and the like, too.

In person debate with a neutral third party is the only way to go, but they can't do that. So there won't be a debate. All that's left is the spin.

My dream moderator? Joe Rogan. That would be hilarious as hell.

Hey, that's a good idea. The Republican candidates go on JRE or Timcast to host real debates. Neither of them are nominally partisan, but have center to center-Right audiences to tap into.
