    Yes! When you're working as the U.S. president or, like Ivanka, serving as his senior advisor, it is unethical and even illegal (???) to gain financially because of your position.

    There is no law against the children of a sitting president doing business and making profits. If they used their president father to sway business in their direction, then you might have a point, but acting on their own is certainly allowable. Besides, they were investigated to the point of lunacy and charged with nothing. Let's see how HB does.

    Biden's kid is being investigated again...and so is the dufus and his business practices...AGAIN...and that includes the dufus's kids. Interesting the dufus and his kids are innocent, and the Biden's not, even with the dufus having been already subject to consequences of his bad business practices in the past.

    I got no problem with such investigations. As politically motivated as they may seem to be. Nothing new there.

    Well, let's agree together that the guilty should be brought to justice, be it a Trump or a Biden. Agreed?

    Here's some of your "fact checking" at work. Who turned out to be right?

    "President Donald Trump has suggested multiple times that a coronavirus vaccine could come within months, an accelerated timeline that prominent health experts and veteran vaccine developers say is unlikely absent a miracle."We're looking to get it by the end of the year if we can, maybe before," Trump said Friday during in a Rose Garden event centered on his administration's efforts to fast-track a vaccine.

    “Vaccine work is looking VERY promising, before end of year,” Trump tweeted on Thursday."

    Okay, but why was he also telling us the virus would disappear on it's own, and it wouldn't come back in the fall?

    Trump has no monopoly on foolish remarks.

    1. 1. “If my opponent wins, they’re going to put y’all back in chains.” – Joe Biden during the 2012 campaign cycle referring to liberal darling and never-Trump ally, Mitt Romney
    2. 2. “Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a Jungle…a racial jungle” – Joe Biden on desegregating schools in 1977
    3. 3. If you’re having trouble figuring out if you’re for me or you’re for Trump then you aint black.” – Joe Biden in a May 2020 video interview with Charlamagne tha God
    4. 4. “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” – Joe Biden in 2019 to the Asian and Latino Coalition
    5. 5. “You cannot go to a 7-eleven or a Dunkin Donuts without a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.” – Joe Biden in 2006 while bragging about how great he is with the Indian American community
    6. 6. “I do not buy the concept, popular in the 60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years.’” – Joe Biden again on integrating schools which he opposed vehemently in the LATE 70s.
    7. 7. “We [Delawareans] were on the South’s side of the Civil War.” – Joe Biden in 1987 in Alabama
    8. 8. “I mean you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate, bright and clean.” – Joe Biden on Barack Obama in 2008

    Don't you think it was really nice for JB to declare Barack Obama to be a "clean" African American? Is that what the liberal dems love, a good, "clean" African American?

    Everybody even Joe knows he ain't perfect, but it's official now, the Electoral College has just made Biden the president elect and the process moves forward to the congress.

    Funny how you can excuse Biden as just “ain’t perfect”, but there always has to be a sinister motive with Trump. Bias, you think?

    The dufus is a lying, cheating stealing bigmouth bully of near criminal proportions. Always has been, always will be. That's not bias, that's just reality without spin, or denial of the obvious. You may disagree and that's fine but that's my opinion.

    I've called him a criminal since he announced his presidency so what's changed?

    But Biden simply "ain't perfect"??? Yep. No political bias going on here, I'm sure.

    So you are one of those who applaud the existence of a nice, "clean", African American??? Yeah. Couldn't be any political bias going on here, either.

    Nothing political. If my husband acted like Trump does and talked like he does, I'd file for divorce -- or, more likely, would never would have married him in the first place. The man (Trump) is a mental/physical/emotional/psychological disaster!

    actually political bias is the wrong term, partisanship is what is happening here. We have assembled a company of partisans

    Eight women have accused Biden of improper sexual behavior, and his racist comments are legend, but you'd evidently be happy to be married to him. So let's see. Do we see any evidence of political bias here?

    I understand that people voted for Biden because he is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, will borrow and spend faster than a speeding bullet, and will risk destroying the economy to implement the GND, but to pretend you voted for him because he is, after all, a great guy is just ridiculous. He is every bit as scummy as Trump is, and if you don't see that, then you are completely self-deceived and possessed of a political vision dominated by a hatred of Trump. The real difference is that Trump actually has some competence. Biden is a boob.
