In other words? Really? Once again, there is absolutely no incriminating evidence of Joe Bidens being involved in Hunter Biden's business dealings. If you think a phone call like this one is incriminating evidence, then you've got really low standards. Come to think of it, given the ridiculous dialogue you previously provided, you do have low standards.

In other words, hunter calls his father and tells him that he's with a couple of Ukrainians. Short of hanging up on his son, what could Biden do? It looks like an ambush. Sounds to me like Joe Bidend did what he had to to get out of that phone call as quickly as possible. Nothing in what you cited speaks to Biden involving himself in his son's business. And as Archer allegedly clalms,, most of these conversations were initiated without Biden knowing that he was put on speakerphone. And what does this conversation have in common with the lunacy you posted?

Again, more fiction from you. You got any evidence that Hunter Biden was talking about his business associates when he called his father? Because all that a father and son can talk about is business? And that article you cited quotes Biden as telling his son "I hope you know what you're doing." No evidence that his son shared any information about his business dealings with Burisma.

But there is a limit on how many carbon tax credits there are. What's more, the amount of availabile credits declines over time. "The carbon credit is half of a so-called cap-and-trade program. Companies that pollute are awarded credits that allow them to continue to pollute up to a certain limit, which is reduced periodically. Meanwhile, the company may sell any unneeded credits to another company that needs them. Private companies are thus doubly incentivized to reduce greenhouse emissions. First, they must spend money on extra credits if their emissions exceed the cap. Second, they can make money by reducing their emissions and selling their excess allowances." https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/carbon_credit.asp#:~:text=The carbon credit is half,another company that needs them. The biggest problem with carbon tax credits is that in some regions they are too low priced to make a difference.

Apparently, you believe that name calling is a substitute for providing evidence. Please refute what I've linked to with some counterevidence.

Funny. I read the NY Post article about the potential Archer testimony. And even if it's true that Biden knowingly spoke via speakerphone with Hunter Biden's associates... VP Biden greeted the Ukrainians but spoke only in vague pleasantries during the short call, and in other such interactions with Hunter’s overseas business partners, Archer is expected to testify. https://nypost.com/2023/07/23/hunter-biden-put-then-vp-dad-joe-on-the-phone-with-business-associates-at-least-2-dozen-times-ex-partner-devon-archer-to-testify/

No. The Fed is not a private body of bankers. The 7 member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve are appointed by the President. And where did you come up with the idea that the "U.S. [sic} fought the Revolutionary War to get out from under the oppressive thumb of the Bank of England, and for a few short years this actually succeeded."? In fact, in 1782 The Bank of North America was created to become the defacto central bank to continue financing the war. And the Federal Reserve was created because without a central bank, the US was repeatedly subject to bank runs and financial collapses. In a modern economy there really is no alternative to a central bank. Perhaps the reason that the UK became the first center of the Industrial Revolution was because of the stable financial environment provided by the BoE.

For what it's worth, lots of economists think the Fed in engaging in overkill. It turns out that the U.S. had the lowest inflation rate of all the G7 nations foir June. (Japan being the last of the G& nations to report published its figures and theywere at 3.3% vs. U.S. 3.0%.) Also the way the US measures housing costs is different from most other countries. That part of the index should come down quickly, so core inflation should also follow.

Well, this is a civil suit, not a criminal one. At any rate, it looks like he's going to go with a free speech defense. That might work well against public figures, but these two women were definitely not that. And they have a strong case to make that they suffered because of Giuliani's baseless accusations.
