LOL we will see and we can weigh the outcome. I am going to give the guy a chance, just as Biden got his.
That chance apparently being ... your ranting for the last half-decade about Biden being guilty of something based on being found guilty of nothing. : D
I would love to see those rants for the last 5 years? CFR. Discussing the Biden/s involvement in the Ukraine for 3 or 4 months is hardly a half a decade. And, given what we know know about the Russian collusion hoax that occurred, I understand why some folks might be reluctant to go back and review some of those conversations.

History will tell the depth of the Biden Clan corruption. Given the blanket pardons I doubt anyone will be prosecuted though, if further evidence is uncovered. There will be interesting conversations once the book's start coming out about the past 4 years, for sure.

But anyway Biden did have his chance, it was 4 years of ___________, you can fill in the blank.

You’ve already seen it. It’s here on Day 1. Within just the last week, your Reformer President has already engaged in what appears to be two money laundering schemes via a meme coin scam, which is technically illegal for him to be engaged in to any extent, let alone to the tune of billions of dollars.
He is your president also, that is if you are a citizen.

What laundering schemes? What did he do illegally? One thing for certain if that is true it will be headline news.

Maybe you can spend more time trying to Get Joe Biden! for lending a family member a few thousand dollars to purchase a truck. Trump will appreciate your continued self-distraction. ; )
And that is why he blanket pardoned his family, for a 2 k truck?

You’ve been at it for a while. Maybe you just forgot about those older conversations. Check out this thread from back in 2019. Fair warning; pull up a comfortable chair before you click on the link because this one’s 187 pages long. If anything, it makes for some fun reading. : )

The crypto/meme coin landscape is still pretty new territory, speaking from a legislative and legal standpoint. Essentially, the $Trump and $MELANIA ‘coins’ aren’t backed by anything. Trump ‘owns’ a large amount of meme coin under either name that has been ‘created’, then traded speculatively. Oddly, Trump realized a $14B gain in the value of $Trump alone over a few days, based on nothing in particular. You might ask yourself how $14 billion flows into an imaginary currency and then is passed to the owner of the imaginary currency, or just where that value is sourcing from. I don’t expect that you or any Trump supporter will, though.

Serious question for you: if Trump did do something on this day that is largely regarded as illegal, who would hold him accountable for it? There is no person or agency that would address it given that he has installed loyalists at all of the traditional guardrail points. You might ask why he felt the need to have done that, and what the ramifications are for our nation and the rule of law/democracy, but I don’t expect that you or any Trump supporter will, though.

And that is why he blanket pardoned his family, for a 2 k truck?
Given how much talk has come out of the Trump camp - including by Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who are both in positions to initiate as many investigations as they want without a need to justify any of them - I’d say that it was a smart move by Biden.

Jordan and Comey, along with their buffoonish cast of supporting congressclowns, spent 4 years desperately wriggling about and trying to pin anything they could on any Biden. They came away empty handed because there’s apparently nothing to prosecute. But they were able to waste 4 years of everyone’s time and a crap-ton of money doing it, while avoiding doing the actual work of governing the country. Biden’s pre-emptive pardons are no guarantee that Patel and Bondi won’t try the same grandstanding BS a dozen more times, but the pardons do somewhat reduce the chance of so much more timewasting BS, and push Trump’s loyalists into having to spend their time and money elsewhere on real work, as opposed to more performative chasing of the Bidens in order to satisfy Trump’s ego.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=152620
The thread started just after the 2020 election in 2019, in mid Nov. It ended at the start of spring, 22 so what 15 months or so. How is that half a decade?

I stopped posting here about politics, guessing, except for a few drive bys', for two or three years or more, so you tell me, how does that translate into half a decade?

In my mindset I gave Biden a fair chance, I really tried. Whether you believe is prayer or not I have no idea, but I did pray for him and his wife almost daily. in my opinion, Jill Bidden is not a very nice person for letting here failing husband hang out their for 4 years. I told my wife If I get like him as I age, to take to to the local lake/park and let me feed the ducks.

But anyways, where are my half decade of rants, while he was president, which is the issue here. This is what I wrote "LOL we will see and we can weigh the outcome. I am going to give the guy a chance, just as Biden got his." Are you asserting he did not get a chance. He had a great opportunity to prove himself...IYO, did he?

Weird. I was pretty sure that the 2020 election occurred in 2020.
… in mid Nov. It ended at the start of spring, 22 so what 15 months or so. How is that half a decade?
Your first post in that thread is February 1, 2020.

The version of math that I use puts that at 9 days short of a half-decade. Close enough (I measured twice : ).
I told my wife If I get like him as I age, to take to to the local lake/park and let me feed the ducks.
Sorry, but you’re too large for an average duck to swallow. We’ll have to compost you.

LOL cakes you have digressed for sure since 2019, but you have improved, a little, in not responding to the contexts of what folks write. One more time; "I stopped posting here about politics, guessing, except for a few drive bys', for two or three years or more, so you tell me, how does that translate into half a decade?"

I don’t expect that you or any Trump supporter will, though.
Is Crypto illegal? I don't know much about crypto currency, I need to do my homework for sure, and I will hopefully do so. But I am pretty sure it is not imaginary. I did read that Trump may create a national crypto/bitcoin where impounded/ceased crypto is put into this national reserve. I suppose it is no more imaginary than just printing money wildly, or stock trading on futures. You can have tax benefits in regard to retirement with crypto and it is recognized by our government....so I think maybe we both need to do a little more homework on this.

What did he do illegal? When you say "regarded" as legal I have to ask is it or is it not illegal? If it was illegal then he needs to be held accountable.If subjective, what is it?

Yes he is putting folks in around him this time around, like most all the presidents before him did, are you saying Biden was not protected? Trump did a poor job of that the first time around, I think he learned a lesson.

The reason he did it cakes is that the last time around the left went after him big time with lies and a media that was in their pocket. The 50 some intelligence folks signing the laptop lie as one example. Another, Facebook founder MZ stated the Biden folks would scream at Facebook if they did not remove content (is that illegal election interference?) ....I can go on and on.....so asking why Trump is being selective with folks joining his administration is rather obvious to anyone paying attention.
Given how much talk has come out of the Trump camp - including by Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who are both in positions to initiate as many investigations as they want without a need to justify any of them - I’d say that it was a smart move by Biden.
If they are guilty of something I guess it is a smart move. How will we know if they are not investigated?

I did not see where you answered my question...."But anyway Biden did have his chance, it was 4 years of ___________, you can fill in the blank." Just wondering.

If you started crocheting 5 years ago, made some cute fluffy doodads, then barely made any for a few more years, then started making more fluffy doodads, then you’ll have been crocheting for 5 years. There’s no requirement for folks to have to count up the actual number of days that you physically crocheted up fluffy doodads and then report that number as the amount of time you’ve been crocheting. : D

Here’s a handy guide for meme coin creation:

https://www.bitbond.com/resources/how-t ... tep-guide/

Imagine that Trump went down to Office Max, bought a ream of paper, then hastily drew ‘Trump Dollars’ on them with a Sharpie, and put them up for sale. Then he strangely managed to find anonymous sources to trade them up to a value of 14 billion dollars. There you go. Sounds like something completely above board for any President but only if their name starts with a T, and ends with ‘rump’, right?

If you create one called $MARKK, just let me know. I have some friends that need to pay billions of dollars for imaginary things.

Hold up. So Jordan and Comey really didn’t do any investigating during their investigating for four years? Are you trying to prove my point that they just wasted taxpayer time and money for craps and grins?

I think that they at least found out that there was one fellow who just made up stories about the Biden’s. That’s about as far as they got, and it took them four years to sheepishly admit it.

Pick a category. Otherwise I tend not to rate anything on 1-10 scales. It’s like asking me what my favorite color is.

Then think about my questions to you. ; )

History is done with those baseless accusations. Now that he's out of office, there's no reason for anyone to pursue it (e.g. invent more nonsense) except Don himself out of revenge, and so it's good that Biden protected his family.
but I did pray for him and his wife almost daily. in my opinion, Jill Bidden is not a very nice person for letting here failing husband hang out their for 4 years. I told my wife If I get like him as I age, to take to to the local lake/park and let me feed the ducks.
c'mon mark. Aren't those your typical Christian hypocrisy prayers? "I pray that you find the truth!" Same thing, right? If Trump falls to poor health, you're going to be on your knees begging for him to persevere and have strength and recover. But if it's Biden, lol, you're praying his wife will stop letting him be president. hilarious, really.
I don't know much about crypto currency
Now that's a shock, I guess we can add that lack of knowledge to your lack of knowledge of basic econ, immigration law, climate science, and most of the subjects that get kicked around in this forum. (oddly, back when gender/sex got debated you seemed to have read some papers and have a decent grasp, weird that's what you had the motivation to actually learn something about but whatev).
