I forgot all of the details but libs keep smugly referencing it and now I'm curious.
thinking about that video where Joe Biden bragged about strongarming Ukraine into dropping a corruption investigation. the media ignored it just like they ignored that tape of Tara Reade's mom then-anonymously calling in to (C-SPAN?) in 1993 and talking about her daughter's assault
EDIT: the Moon of Alabama article I linked in another comment had the video, updated
Joe Biden famously ordered (vid) the Ukrainian President Poroshenko to fire his General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin. He threatened to otherwise withhold a $1 billion loan to the Ukraine. Biden's pressure to fire Shokin came ten days after Shokin had confiscated several house of Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky. Shokin was eventually fired, the loan to the Ukraine was released and the corruption case against Zlochevsky was buried.
The guy they replaced Shokin with that Biden's office approved was later removed from office for sending cops to harass journalists who exposed his office's dirty deals too
Doing 0 research, off the top of head it was Joe Biden and the Obama admin influence getting Hunter a sweet gig getting paid pretty well to hang out and do drugs in Ukraine. Or something.
he didn't even go to ukraine, he just collected a hefty salary on the board of ukraine's largest energy company for "providing advice."
this was after Euromaiden, yep folks, it was totally organic, not another US coup regime change to put in pro US puppets.
Democrat corruption is all through Ukraine, inside and out. They were using it as their personal piggy bank and playground
October 2020 article from Moon of Alabama with a bunch of sources:
Media Again Falsely Claim That Joe Biden's Intervention In Ukraine Was Innocent
While all that may be true, there's too many nypost links there to convince any lib
I’m laughing at the idea of a lib stumbling onto Moon of Alabama. They would be so confused and lost
Ive never heard of this site, what exactly is it? I read the 'about' section but I'm still lost.
It’s just a blog posted by a hardline German communist and anti-imperialist with prior military experience named “b”. It’s amassed quite a following over the years and has an interesting comment section.
Imagine if SeventyTwoTrillion had a blog and we were just commenting on it instead of this news thread. Now imagine SeventyTwoTrillion has a ton of experience with NATO artillery and anti-aircraft but now hates NATO
Why did a German communist name his blog after a random Native American tribe?
The about section explains it. There used to be a forum called the Whiskey Bar where geopolitics was discussed. The forum’s admin gave up and closed down, but many of the users followed ‘b’ over to his new blog.
It’s an old song they are quoting, Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Alabama Song’.
The name of the original Whiskey Bar was taken from Bertolt Brecht's Alabama Song where the first line goes:
"Show me the way to the next whiskey bar".
The name Moon of Alabama was taken from the first line of the chorus of that song:
"Oh, moon of Alabama ...".
The design of this site has been directly stolen or re-engineered from the Whiskey Bar site.

Bertolt Brecht was a Marxist playwright and songwriter from the GDR, which explains the German communist connection.
In addition, Soviet states also had a sort of fascination and admiration with American natives, they even created a genre of western films called Osterns that inverted the Cowboy-Indian dichotomy and glorified Native Americans above the settlers.

:CommiePOGGERS:
And before anyone accuses them of Noble Savage tropes - the more defensible examples of these films depict Native Americans as civilized and complex, and depict the Cowboy/settlers as the savages. They may be slightly guilty of orientalism or something similar, but this predates western noble savage ideology which is mostly just a way for whites to assuage their own guilt while the Soviets quite explicitly showed the massacres and genocides of the whites and often imagined a world where history went differently and was more optimistic - whereas I feel white noble savage tropes are meant to make the native genocide feel inevitable
It is, but libs are very unlikely to accept it since they are very very anti-west (approaching Maoist third worldist levels) and very hardline
He got a cushy do-nothing board seat on some Ukrainian gas conglomerate alongside John Kerry's stepson and a former President of Poland. This was essentially a flex by the conglomerate to show their connections because I believed they exposed to anti-corruption prosecution by political rivals, and wanted to ward off rivals from smelling blood in the water and feasting like sharks.
Anyone talking about anything else is speaking incomprehensible gibberish.
What context are libs referencing it in? There was pretty clearly some nepotism going on at bare minimum. Hunter sure didn't earn his post on the board of Burisma on his own merit.

yeah like almost 1 percent of Trump's nepotism...
"Biden is less corrupt than Trump!" is such an incredibly low bar it's not even worth mentioning. There are few people in the US more corrupt than Trump. This doesn't change the fact that Biden got his son an extremely high-paying job by abusing his position as second in charge of the premier imperial power.
In case you're making fun of the kind of things liberals might say and it went over my head, sorry for misunderstanding. Even then, I don't think liberals would bring this up as an own because it still looks bad.
I prefer my presidents to have no corrupt entanglements with Eastern European Nazis, buts that’s just me
dude had a huge dick, also his dad ran for mayor or something, basically totaled the election because the other driver was too busy bird watching. IDK why russia needs a huge crane tho
libs keep smugly referencing it
lmfao. lol. what's the line now? no prosecution no wrongdoing? CNN hasn't talked about it so its not real?
I think they just remember it vaguely as one of the few times a GOP attack didn't land? Like the news stopped talking about it pretty quickly so it must be bullshit.
It’s hilarious that the one time Democrats actually impeached Trump it was over Ukrainecrimes and threatening to withhold funding to Nazis to get some political concession
Russian disinformation. Anyone you hear repeating this bullshit is a Putin puppet.
Daddy got Hunter a kush job he was completely unqualified for, Libs don’t care because they think politics is a team sport.
