Stop making a fool of yourself, there is zero comparison here... |
moron all the Bush 1 kids were hired and for instance, one even was on the board of directors of a bank that was the largest at the time go under causing a huge financial banking collapse crisis. gee that was deregulation by the right wing... zero expertise.
Bush 2 was head of a oil drilling company and kept getting investments yet never hit oil in his oil drilling company EVER. and gee some saudis even ut money in the millions in his companies when they were worth billions, why would a billionaire Saudi invest in a guy with no experience and never hit oil in a oil drilling company. Ya the same ones that got mysterious clearance to fly from the USA to escape the country when we did not even know it was nearly all saudis they attacked us. was it a day after 9-11 attack on america when no other planes was allowed to fly. |

As usual, mrgybe couldn’t resist bragging about his importance. Now for an alternative viewpoint. https://www.complianceweek.com/opinion/exxonmobil-governance-as-toxic-as-carbon-footprint/27179.article |

If that son had zero experience or qualifications related to the business appointing him to the Board, and was being compensated at a level many times greater than legitimate Board members of major public companies, the conflict and motivation would be so blindingly obvious to any reputable company, that it would be a disqualifying event for the the VP.

Mr G if a company CEO had an off the payroll attorney and his band of thieves running around the glove investigating / digging up dirt on a rival CEO in an effort to smear him , would the board of that company seek to intervene ?
Next question .. If the nations largest company was interviewing candidates for an open CEO position , I would think vetting would be paramount .. So, personal financial disclosures and the individuals past financial dealings would be extremely relevant , would they not? |

| Hunter openly admitted on world-wide TV that he got the job because of his dad's influence [including, at the very least, withholding a billion dollar loan guarantee (source: CNN)] while dad was in office. |

Well, Hunter Biden is an attorney who also served in the Naval reserve--qualifications I would stack up with Ivanka's or the idiot sons, or Rudy. The idea that Biden should control his son's decisions--or me my daughters--is utter nonsense under principles that actually were debated when we adopted the Constitution. Here's the worst you can say about Biden and Hunter:

When then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son joined the board of an obscure Ukrainian gas company half a decade ago, it was a stunning coup for its owner, a former Ukrainian minister working to remake the company’s image as he faced a money-laundering investigation.
For Hunter Biden, the job came with risks: Ukraine was in the throes of political upheaval, and there was building scrutiny of former government officials profiting in the lucrative gas industry. His father was the face of the Obama administration’s effort to get Ukraine to crack down on corruption.
The region was so unsettled that one of Hunter Biden’s investment firm partners at the time — former secretary of state John F. Kerry’s stepson — believed that joining the board of Burisma Holdings was a bad idea and ended his business relationship with Biden and another partner, his spokesman told the Washington Post
Now, more than five years later, with Joe Biden running for president, Hunter Biden’s decision to get involved with the Ukrainian firm is the backdrop of an extraordinary whistleblower complaint against President Trump that is reshaping the 2020 political landscape.
Michael Kranish on Post Reports: “There’s just a number of factors and incidents where Hunter Biden is doing business when his father’s interests might also be raised.”
Revelations that Trump, along with his personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, pressed the Ukrainians to pursue investigations into Burisma and examine the role of the Bidens have triggered an impeachment inquiry in the House, with allegations that Trump withheld U.S. support for Ukraine to ensure Kiev investigated his potential rival in the presidential election.
No evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Bidens has surfaced. Giuliani’s primary allegation — that Joe Biden pushed for the firing of Ukraine’s top prosecutor to quash a probe into the former minister and Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky — is not substantiated and has been widely disputed by former U.S. officials and Ukrainian anti-corruption activists. |
