  2. It keeps being proven true, yet the media keeps ignoring it, like the water carrying hacks they are….

    “Hunter Biden’s laptop keeps damning Joe, but most media just ignore it”

    “Hunter Biden’s laptop continues to yield damning information that shows his dad, President Joe Biden, played a significant and knowing role in his son’s sleazy influence-peddling. And while the media efforts to pretend these revelations are nothing but β€œRussian disinformation” have ceased, The Post’s scoops still get ignored by outlets that would be all over them if they were about the Trump family.

    The latest, of course, is the photographic evidence that then-Veep Joe attended an April 16, 2015, dinner with shady Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakh β€œbusinessmen” and even posed for photos with the unseemly guests.

    To put some face-saving cover on the event in the private β€œGarden Room” at CafΓ© Milano, a posh Georgetown eatery (β€œWhere the world’s most powerful people go,” run its promos), Hunter billed it as β€œostensibly to discuss food security,” as he emailed one guest, and invited several officials from the World Food Program.

    But the beards were outnumbered by the likes of corrupt former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov (hubby of Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina, who’d paid one of Hunter’s firms $3.5 million the year before), Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev, Karim Massimov, a former prime minister of Kazakhstan, and Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

    The photo of the then-veep and Hunter smiling with the two Kazakhs, clearly shot at CafΓ© Milano, isn’t the only proof Joe actually attended the dinner: Pozharskyi emailed Hunter the next day, β€œDear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. … It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.” So much for any claim that Joe never met with Burisma officials even as he was Team Obama’s point man on Ukraine, a role he used to demand the ouster of a prosecutor who was looking into the firm.

    Burisma was then paying Hunter (who had zero energy expertise) $83,333 a month to sit on its board. Another email from the laptop reveals that Burisma cut Hunter’s pay in half in March 2017 β€” right after Joe became a private citizen, another clear sign of what actually qualified the Biden scion for such vast payouts.

    Face time with a vice president, and the ability to brag about what you talked about over dinner, is worth a lot to global sleazoids. So are smiling photos that imply a relationship and pull at the highest reaches of US government.

    Another sign of Joe’s collusion in Hunter’s unseemly work: The then-veep hired an aide away from one of his son’s firms in 2014, and she then proceeded to keep her old bosses informed on visiting dignitaries and official events that might interest them.”

    “Manchin rips reporters for filibuster obsession: ‘You ask the same question every day'”

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/manchin-rips-reporters-filibuster-obsession

    “Sen. Joe Manchin, W. Va., has grown impatient with reporters over their repeated questions about the filibuster, saying they “ask the same question every day.”

    Manchin has come under pressure from left-wing Democrats and liberal media members to change his mind about preserving the filibuster, which means Democrats need 60 votes to end debate and force votes on key issues. He has repeatedly said he will never vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster rule.

    “I’m not separating our country, OK?” Manchin said last week. “I don’t know what you all don’t understand about this. You ask the same question every day. It’s wrong.”

    ————

    I guess Manchin forgot the media are really just Dem operatives. They ask what their Dem bosses tell them too.
