And to complete Biden’s Superfecta of Sh&%t, the stock market dropped over 500 points today over concerns about China.
Meanwhile, the loud Presidential critics of the last 4 years like Paul, all of a sudden are silent. And the Trump/Russia narrative has been proven by Durham to be false.
Where is the outrage???? #Crickets

I'm not quite sure what the president has to do with a Chinese real estate conglomerate that is in trouble with its debts...but, whatever makes you happy.
I'm pretty sure that Durham hasn't proven anything false about Trump people and their connection with Russia...like Manafort giving data to a Russian intelligence officer, or Russians doing social media nonsense and getting indicted, etc. Manafort was guilty and was pardoned.

If you really are interested in the Durham investigation and indictment, read this. (No, I don't think you actually will)

Not a whole lot of approval rating talk on this board these days...seemed like getting a daily update was the norm over the last few years. Odd...

Liberals on this board are very good at being hypocritical

See, if you are silent then you can’t be accused of being hypocritical. That is Paul’s master plan.
I suppose he would be silent as his house burned to the ground after he told his neighbors to clean up an imagined mess with gasoline.

For 4 years all we heard from Paul was “Russian compromised President”.
Welp. This article puts that “theory” (being kind) to rest.
BTW. Glen Greenwald is a Liberal journalist.

Bump.

Greenwald is far from a liberal these days. Just look at the first paragraph in the link you sent:

A lawyer for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign was indicted on Wednesday with one felony count of lying to the FBI about a fraudulent Russiagate story he helped propagate.

He wasn't charged for lying about a fraudulent story; he was charged with lying about "his client."
Take a few minutes and read the link I sent you. The charge is tenuous at best, and may never result in anything.
Meanwhile, Manafort was pardoned by Trump for his crimes and was working with a Russian intelligence officer.

Liberals everywhere all the time are very good at being hypocritical

Fixed that for you.

On that note, the City of New York’s proof of vax requirement is effectively barring 70% of the black population from restaurant and entertainment venues. You can’t make these things up.

That mandate applies to all.
So, 56% of blacks would be denied admission.
Similarly, 48% of whites would also.

Ha!! The charge is absolutely not tenuous. It is merely the tip of the iceberg. If Sussman was so clean, along with his partner in crime Elias, why did the law firm that they worked for summarily separate them from the firm? Durham has a lot more coming and it’s gonna be great to see.
Manafort was convicted for tax issues, not a Trump collusion issue.
“ Verdict. On August 21, their fourth day of deliberation, the jury found Manafort guilty on 8 of the 18 felony counts, including five counts of filing false tax returns, two counts of bank fraud, and one count of failing to disclose a foreign bank account. Judge Ellis declared a mistrial on the remaining 10 charges.”

A two year $30 million investigation by Mueller couldn’t find any collusion, but you just keep entertaining your delusional fantasy Paul.
This Wall Street Journal article today hits it on the head:

Meanwhile I await your incisive commentary on the present Biden dumpster fire that you studiously avoid saying anything about.
What say you?

By the way, Greenwald absolutely is still a Liberal, he’s just not IlLiberal like over the top people like you prefer.
