The fact that a sitting president would even raise the possibility of that kind of quid pro quo should be repugnant to anyone. The fact that this is lost on Trump supporters is not surprising. What do you live under a rock? That's called fundraising. You really are a sheep.
Really, bob? In your fantasy world maybe, but in the real world that kind of quid pro quo would be illegal. Not surprised by your response though.

Again, a non story that will result in nothing. It isn't right but both sides do this all the time...Biden / Trump both have their issues in this ares and both are non-issues....I have moved on...more important things to address than how politicians get their money. Jesus, Susan Collins will probably lose the ME race as her competitor is being funded from out of state democrats....

Hunter Biden isn't the first child of a prominent politician to be accused of having ties to a company doing business with a foreign country. Indeed, similar accusations have been raised about Trump’s family members, particularly Ivanka also getting sweetheart deals with China while dad is in office. The $1.5 billion figure thrown about actually refers to the anticipated total amount to be raised for investments when the fund was started in 2014. Hunter Biden was initially an unpaid advisor. He didn't created the company nor had any direct ownership until after his father left office. In 2017 he invested $420K and in return got a 10% management stake (BTW - that doe not mean he owns 10% of the funds). Based on published reports he hasn't recouped nor profited from that investment yet. Simple enough? You can always check reputable sources such as the WSJ for confirmation and more details.

That race has been pretty disgusting all the way around. Maybe you've seen the ads ....over $ 86million has been spent on TV ads in the Maine market! Senate Majority PAC spent $12million for Gideon. Nat Rep Senate Committtee spent over $11million for Collins. Susan has spent $19million and has $6.5million on hand, while Gideon has spent $40million and has $22.7million on hand (the candidates have not spent all their money on TV ads, they also do social media, print, etc.) Meanwhile, Linn has spent $450K and Savage has spent less than $200K

What a joke if that is what you believe and most of SG $$ is coming from out of state by people who couldn't give a fuck about Maine and probably think we are a bunch of no teeth uneducated hicks....

“This report explores the potential impact of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s proposals on the economy as a whole. We conclude that in the long run, Biden’s agenda would reduce full time equivalent employment per person by about 3 percent, the capital stock per person by about 15 percent, real GDP per capita by more than 8 percent, and real consumption per household by about 7 percent. Relative to the CBO’s 2030 projections for these variables, this suggests there will be 4.9 million fewer employed individuals, $2.6 trillion less in GDP, and $1.5 trillion less consumption in that year alone. Median household income in 2030 would be $6,500 less.” www.hoover.org/research/analysis-vice-president-bidens-economic-agenda-long-run-impactsInteresting read

Of course I’m serious, Collins is getting the same kind of dark, out of state funding. If you don’t think that is the case then that’s a joke. The amount of $$$ being spent on this campaign is ridiculous and disgusting, doesn’t really matter who is it being spent on.
