Did Pres. Biden Really Say That

   GA Andersonposted 2 years ago

   Simply put, In response to a question: 'Are you worried about what China might do?" Pres. Biden replied, casually, ( to paraphrase): 'I'm not worried, I don't think they are going to do anymore.'
   
   In the midst of this serious situation, he publicly dismisses China. Considering my view of the seriousness of the present-time situation, that is the worst thing I can imagine any leader ever saying.
   
   It seems a safe speculation to think China might just react with a 'Oh yeah, nothing more, watch this.'.

      So hard for me to speculate when it comes to China. My common sense tells me China will make a move before the next election and have its task well completed before we possibly install a new administration.
      
      Hopefully, it's a surround and quick conquer.  I hope not to see a second proxy war.

      It would seem more would be concerned about Biden being so compromised than another Trump investigation. But the sheep have been detoured.
      
      There are bank records, and documents that show  Hunter, and James Biden had 150 banks' large foreign money transactions flagged.  Go figure no one cares.

      Well since you brought up the subject of President Biden's son...
      What about all the money Jared received from the Saudis??
      
      On April 10, the New York Times revealed that Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment for his new private equity firm, Affinity Partners, from a fund controlled by the Saudi crown princ even after advisers to the Saudi fund raised serious objections to the investment. The screening panel for the Saudi fund had cited “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; an “unsatisfactory in all aspects” due diligence report; a proposed asset management fee that seemed “excessive”; and “public relations risks.” Yet the panel was overruled by the fund’s board, which is headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s autocratic de facto leader.
      
      It’s damn hard to not see the $2 billion investment as either a payoff for past services rendered or a preemptive bribe should Trump manage to regain the White House. And it could be both. It’s a wonder that the disclosure of this deal hasn’t created more of a fuss.

         I only had to read the first paragraph to see that this was after the Trump Administration, not during his Presidency.
         
         Past that, I would say that Saudi Arabia has long been tied to American interests and is dependent to a large degree on American support. 
         
         They gave such "support" to the Clintons as well, I believe it was the "Non Profit" Clinton Foundation that recieved hundreds of millions, if not billions. There is the Biden Institute, not sure if that receives funds from Saudi Arabia... The Beau Biden Foundation supposedly rakes in millions but only spends a fraction of that on its purported reason for existing, etc.
         
         The Clinton Foundation BTW is reconvening its Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)after previously ended in 2016, it had to shut down its operations during the Trump regime.  Wonder why?
         
         In other words a deal with Saudi Arabia, in whatever form, is acceptable... where as a deal with China, a nation intent on dethroning America as world leader, a nation that has stolen every IT, Engineering, National Secret it can get its hands on, and has compromised numerous high positioned politicians is a different matter.
         
         China is a direct competitor, Saudi Arabia is a dependent and supporter of America.

            I think that the question that hangs over Mr Kushner is whether his personal financial interests improperly influenced U.S. foreign policy while he served in the White House.
            
            His support for Saudi interests was unwavering, even as Congress and the rest of the world scrutinized the country’s human rights abuses in Yemen, the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
            
            He appears to be a  clear case of a public official taking advantage of their government roles to benefit financially.

               Neither Congress or the rest of the world really cared about "human rights abuses" or were serious about doing anything about it.
               
               Saudi Arabia will do what it wants to do, to its women, its neighbors, and America will never do anything other than give lip service on the pulpit about any of it.
               
               Saudi Arabia is not a threat to the American hegemony, it is part of it.
               
               China on the other hand, is a wolf America has fed to excess, the powers on Wall St. as well as those that roamed DC thought they could tame that wolf if it was continuously well fed.  They were wrong.
               
               And now China is leading a collection of all nations looking to be free of America's influence and control. 
               
               Trump was a real threat to China's ascension and America's decline, Biden speaks loudly, but carries a limp stick, he will do nothing to deter China, more than ramble nonsensible threats.

                     Why slander  Mr. Kushner?  It has been widely reported Kushner was worth 800 million when he came to the White House. His parents are billionaires. He appears to be a successful respectable businessman.  So why slander him?  Has he committed a crime? Has he been charged with a crime? Or are the Democratic pulling another scummy ploy, accusing him of corruption, and then looking for crimes?  Disgusting. Glad I am not one that grabs on to that kind of destructive rhetoric.   
                     
                     Your comment screams to point out the comparisons between him and Hunter. And we all know tons about Hunter and his seedy reputation with pron, drugs, and the problems that have brought on FBI and DOJ  investigations. 
                     
                     "Republican Representative James Comer believes that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will take action against Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, within the next two months.
                     
                     Comer told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo Friday that he's "pretty confident" that "something's going to happen with the Department of Justice in the next 60 days with respect to Hunter Biden because he's left a trail that's so obvious that no one, even the most partisan Democrat and the most partisan Biden supporter in the Department of Justice, they can no longer turn a blind eye to his wrongdoing."

                     Hey, let's talk about a real crook...  Last I knew Kushner has none of the baggage Hunter has been lugging around.

                        Mr Kushner's father spent time in federal prison for tax evasion and witness tampering that involved a sex tape. Chris Christie called it “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he ever prosecuted as U.S. attorney. Mr Trump later pardoned father Kushner.
                        In 2017 the family business was billions in debt. By all accounts, Jared Kushner was an inept businessman.

      I was just pointing out many are willing to turn away from the information that has surfaced (with actual bank documentation) on the Biden bunch.  Perhaps you did not comprehend my comment.   Just hoped to point out how easily some detour or look here not there when anything Trump emerges.
      
      Your deflect was very telling. Seems you were easily detoured off subject. I would assume it was an uncomfortable subject for you. You sort of made my point, some are quick to detour away from the reports about Hunter, and Joe's possible crooked dealings.

               No doubt, they get nervous and quickly "detour", "deflect" and, what's funny {not haha} and not meaning to stray too far off topic, but while they go to such great lengths to defend, those on the other side of the fence, must tread softly when considering offering up a single kind word or compliment when it comes to Trump. One must either straddle the fence, play devil's advocate or be sure to put it, into its proper, acceptable context.
               Examples:
               Yes Trump has a huge ego, but...
               True he can be crude and yet...
               Agreed, that was mean and insensitive, however...

         The majority believe the news is factual, or somewhat factual, and that the MSM actually reports the "news"... most people can't accept that it is programming, propaganda as it were... that level of corruption and deception few people are willing to accept/believe.
         
         So if the MSM does not cover something of that nature, it goes unnoticed by 96% of Americans.
         
         I cannot say for certain, as I do not watch any news on Cable/TV, but I don't believe even FOX has done much to shed light on this matter.  Or for that matter the Billions that were laundered through the Ukraine, or the role the Bidens played in it.
         
         Its simply not allowed to be investigated or discussed, it might get lip service for a day or two on Fox at best, otherwise the MSM touches none of it.
         
         Not because its not real, but because its part of the corruption ongoing within our government, from insider trading to foreign payoffs, to the die-hard believers that work toward a One World Government aka NWO.
         
         Trump was a four year case-study on what happens when an outsider challenges the Establishment, the core elements in control of DC.  Trump caused some people to lose their jobs from the FBI, DOJ, etc.  some politicians lost their careers... but at the end of the day... nothing changed.
         
         Biden, Pelosi, Schumer... and a handful of key Republicans all are still there, in control, as are the key people in the NSA, FBI, DOJ... Trump came and went, there will be no second coming of Trump or anyone like him.

            "The majority believe the MSM news is factual" Not sure it's a majority. I see something different on social media in the last months, that indicates many have "really woke up" to the fact the media is pushing BS narratives.
            
            Plus the ratings are very low on CNN and MSM. More seem to be tuning the left media out. I think most Americans are feeling and seeing the mess the country has become, in record time.
            
            I think we will see Trump's agenda live long to the displeasure of the elites in Washington. He stirred up a massive bunch that never cared about politics. I don't feel many of the ones silent, will give up the voice Trump gave to them.   
            
            I feel many American's now regretted voting for Biden, and miss a man that was a true problem solver. Miss a good economy, feeling confident that the man in the WH  was handling foreign affairs, miss how he pulled together a team to combat COVID and lots more... 
            
            I mean now we have a man that needs to be led around, told what to say when they let him out of hiding.

But that being said we still have to wait out the results of the investigation.  Of course many will make morality judgments based on his perversion.  Morality and character, in my opinion, is lacking in many of our politicians these days.

               I have no problem waiting for facts from the ongoing investigation. I like facts, and very rarely will I point a finger without some form of facts to back up my thoughts.  How about giving Trump the same courtesy in this newly exposed investigation?  And how about not just presuming Kushner is possibly taking advantage to make cash due to the time he spent in the White House?  Neither he nor his wife took a salary while working for the Trump administration.
