Apparently the Wohl and Co. presser revealed Warren had an affair with a 24 year old marine whose "proof" is a scar on his back where Cougar Elizabeth raked him with her claws. So about that...

:rofl:

But seriously, how the fuck is this little asshole not in jail?

Damn, I didn’t realize Sen. Warren is a hellcat in the bedroom. If she did that to a marine, I’d hate to see what she could do to me.

I notice he has three X's tattooed on the back of his neck. That's appropriate. Because there are three sex strikes against him.

When in the world has Elizabeth Warren had time to play cougar?  She's clearly a terrific manager and terrifically organized, but come on, she's not superhuman.

You've seen the way her sweater keeps falling off of her shoulder!   That's no accident.  She's seducing you, son.

 sex is not a crime.   Be it with Septa Mordane or a septa-genarian.   Swing set chain marks don't rule out naughtiness.   Maybe she likes to swing naked as part of her heritage, it brings her closer to the great sky spirit.

When you type these things out, do you actually think you're contributing in any way or just getting your low level troll jollies? Because if it's the latter, you really, truly, deeply need to step up your game, man. The 7th graders I used to teach would be lapping you right now.

I was curious to see what the hell this claim of Trump’s was all about, the one where he says Joe Biden ‘shook down the Chinese for $1.5 B, the crooks, and we’re going to find out he shook down other countries, lots of countries, too!’

Turns out that in 2013 Biden went to China, taking his granddaughter with him. Since she couldn’t be left alone when Biden was doing other things, Hunter also came. At one point during the trip Biden introduced his son to a well-known Chinese financier, in a hotel lobby. They chatted. It’s been reported Hunter did no business meetings while in China.

Before he went to China, Hunter and a friend started a new investment company which was meant to be a vehicle to attract Chinese money.  Their goal was to raise $1.5 B from Chinese investors. Hunter was never paid by the company and never took cash out of the company. After his father’s term was over, Hunter bought a 10% stake in the company, for $420,000. By my math that means the company raised all of $4.2 M from investors, not exactly meeting their goal of $1.5 B.

While it seems really stupid for Hunter to get involved in places like the Ukraine and China while his father was VP, I am beginning to have a lot more sympathy for Biden’s demand that the media not give publicity to Trump’s ridiculous claims. Calling the Biden family crooks who shook down China for $1.5 B is outrageously ridiculous, and is being eaten up by the right.

The $4.2 M size fund didn't make any sense to me.  No one raises that little money for a fund.  You can't make any investments with so little money.  So after a little digging, it appears the 10% stake and $420,000 capital contribution likely refers to Biden's stake in Bohai Harvest RST, a joint consortium formed from Chinese and US firms to raise and manage a $1.5 billion fund.  The $4.2 M doesn't refer to the size of the fund that they helped raise in China.  This information appeared to have been put out by Hunter Biden's attorney and, while presumably true, is misleading.

Twelve days after he flew to Beijing, Hunter Biden joined the board of BHR. George Mesires, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, said in a July interview with The Washington Post’s Michael Kranish that his client’s role has been misconstrued. He said Hunter Biden was on the board of the advisory firm that did not directly invest, but instead advised those who did.

“To date, Mr. Biden has not received any return or compensation on account of this investment or his position on the board of directors,” Mesires told The Fact Checker after Trump’s remarks with Zelensky. “The characterization of Mr. Biden as owning a $1.5 billion private equity firm funded by the Chinese, or suggesting that Mr. Biden has earned millions of dollars from the firm is a gross misrepresentation of Mr. Biden’s role with BHR.”

Mesires said that the investment management company “was capitalized from various sources with a total of 30 million RMB [Chinese Renminbi], or about $4.2 million, not $1.5 billion.” Because Biden acquired a 10 percent minority interest, his “capital commitment is approximately $420,000,” Mesires said.

From an article posted on the Fortune website in 2014, this consortium raised $1.0 to $1.5 billion for a fund it managed, which is typically how a private equity fund would operate.  The Bohai Harvest RST consortium firm would typically be compensated based on the size of the fund under management and the performance of the fund.  It's possible they would have also contributed some capital to the fund itself.

The importance of a new free trade zone for China's outbound investment wave became apparent this month when a new fund management firm set up in the zone by a consortium of Chinese and US financial firms announced the expansion of a cross-border investment fund from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. The private equity fund appears aimed at leveraging the more liberal currency regime in the special economic area to give Chinese capital easier access to overseas assets.

FTZ Private Equity Fund Unites Chinese and US Partners

According to a recent story in The Wall Street Journal, Bohai Industrial Investment Fund Management Co. and Harvest Fund Management Co – both Chinese fund managers, will be teaming up with US financial advisory firms Rosemont Seneca Partners and Thornton Group LLC to raise the fund for investing in high-end manufacturing, financials, consumer, and energy and resources outside of China.

Rosemont Seneca Partners is the firm Hunter Biden founded.  This isn't illegal, but since Joe Biden (while he was VP) appeared to have introduced him to one of the financiers, it potentially raises conflict of interest issues and it's not a good look.  

I think it's fair for the press or a private investigator hired by Trump's campaign to look into these dealings since both the China and Ukraine dealings raise potential conflicts of interest, but it's not OK for Trump to pressure foreign governments to help him dig up dirt.

He tried a quid pro quo not only about the Bidens but about Warren.

...Thursday's comments weren't the first time Trump has injected Biden into his relationship with China, though he said Thursday he has never pushed Xi to investigate the former vice president. Nor is it the first time he has sought to trade favors with Xi, who this week celebrated the 70th birthday of his ruling communist party with a note of congratulations from Trump.
 
During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed....

Anybody else see this pop up today? Burkman and Wohl, the two Republican dinguses who tried to smear Robert Mueller with a laughably harebrained sexual assault scandal, are now claiming that they've got a 24 year old Marine who's been having an affair with Elizabeth Warren.

And this is supposed to be bad for Warren because.... ?

The old joke used to be that someone was playing jumanji but at this point I think we can say that the computer running our simulation is crashing.

I think our absentee god has been spending too much on porn subscriptions instead of upgrading the hardware. Viruses and shoddy maintenance are what have brought us to this lamentable reality.

Shouldn't this make her MORE electable? She's a strongly heterosexual, white, GILF. If that doesn't make Republicans become Democrats I don't know what will. Or is it only old white men who can pull who earn the respect and votes of the moral majority?

I'm automatically attracted to beautiful marines—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait.  And when you're a senator, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the penis. You can do anything.
