Of course you do. Every day.
Just so you know, a "tweet' is not plausible evidence.

I would love to hear the reason a Ukrainian energy company hires an American with no energy experience to be on its board at $600,000 a year. The only possible reason would be to curry favor with his dad.

How about so they can get his name on the door? Other companies may want to do business with them if they have a Biden on the board.

Yeah, I'm sure that must be it. With the hundreds of celebrities and political powerhouses available, they picked Biden Jr. because his name would increase business.

Well, there is ample precedent for it. Just like when Hilary Clinton was Secretary of State it had absolutely nothing to do with philanthropic donations to the Clinton Foundation.................Luca

So looking here, the media and the Congress could save face with the American people buy doing some investigative journalism and some serious inquiries and investigations. Right? Don'y hold your breath!

That's true, and it would have made just as much sense for a gas company in Ukraine to put Chelsea on their board of directors and pay her $50,000 a month because they thought it would increase sales.
Biden's son had no experience in the industry. He probably thought a gas company was a burrito factory, and I wonder if he's ever filled his own tank at the station. It was obviously a purely influence-buying appointment, VP's silly alternate motives notwithstanding.

But according to Obama, there was not even "a hint of scandal" in his administration. Yeah, I did see that. It was usually followed by a pretty long list of them.

Or perhaps you are being sincere, in which case.....

Of course you do. Every day. Just so you know, a "tweet' is not plausible evidence. You love to accuse me of "lying" and "making stuff up" so please, I challenge you to name a single lie or deliberate falsehood I have made on this entire thread--or anywhere on this board or even at my short time at TOB before your boss banned me. Mind you, it has to be a demonstrably false statement and not simply a difference of opinion or perspective over a given set of facts. I don't think you can find one-- nor do I think that you have made false statements. In my opinion, much of what you say is silly and immature, but this doesn't mean your statements are lies per se. Nor have I ever accused you of uttering lies. Your comments are perspective is simply the result of a vastly different world view, with which I disagree. But it's (still) a free country and we are all entitled to our own opinion, no matter how wrong it may be. (That idea sounds familiar.....) You may think me a blind and unthinking fool, but that doesn't make me a liar. When differences of opinion become reflexively characterized as "lies" then there is no possibility of dialogue or common ground. Mockery is one thing--and sometimes necessary or useful (see above)--but at worst we should be able to "agree to disagree" without resorting to impugning another person's character.

Whoops.
This could be completely incidental, but it still looks bad and fundamentally unfair to the entire process.

It's Charlie Kirk, so a pound of salt might be appropriate here. Haven't read a response from either Biden about this.

There won't be any response from Joe Biden, because he knows the press won't ask him about it. Charlie Kirk is a Trump supporter, to be sure, but he's not going to risk his reputation by throwing out phony numbers. You can take these figures to the bank (like Hunter Biden did). Or maybe the "Biden name" was just really good for business in the Ukraine and Hunter was simply being fairly compensated for his expertise in the natural gas industry.

If Joe Biden was the selfless public servant that he's been passing himself off to be since 1972, it would easy for his old boss to vouch for him and clear away this could of scandal.
