Politics Creepy Joe Biden is your Pedophile-President

[dviss1]

Omg!

Trump has to resign now right? I hadn't even heard of this. This has to be the final nail. Has. To. Be.

He. Is. Done.

It's amazing the level of blatant hypocrisy on this place...

It's amazing the level of blatant hypocrisy on this place...

It's not just this place. The conservatives everywhere have no limit or shame when it comes to their blatant and provable hypocrisy.

If you voted for Trump and you're posting stupid memes about Biden being a sexual predator you're a blatant hypocrite. There is nothing complicated about it.

There is something complicated about it and for some reason liberals don't grasp a simple concept.

Everyone knew Trump was a womanizer at best. Before during and after the election. Nobody cared.

The side of the political spectrum with the D next to it cared profoundly. They screamed bloody murder about it. The D's sacrificed Al Franken over next to nothing.

Knowing the Democrats and the precedent they set Biden should be toast and Republicans are using it against him.

I don't see why you don't get it and especially have to laugh out loud at your whataboutism. Trump has nothing to do with the Democrat's ethical standards. Absolutely nothing.

In short, it is people rubbing it in your face.

Example, you made fun of me for getting a ticket doing 100 in a 55.

Then you get a ticket for doing 80 in a 55 and I laugh at you. You'll scream....

What is hypocritical about being sarcastic?

I probably shouldn't have quoted you. My bad. It has nothing too do with your sarcasm or anything and I'll admit I hadn't read all of your posts in this thread.

My only point is the same people who support Trump call Bill Clinton a predator.

They can't have it both ways...

In every instance:

Although Kohnert-Yount said she did not consider Biden's behavior to be "sexual assault or harassment,”

Or, maybe, it just shows how fox news is ignoring stuff that is bad about Herr Donald.

Well, duh.

 

[barfo]

Trump has nothing to do with the Democrat's ethical standards. Absolutely nothing.

Correct. Or with any ethical standards whatsoever.

It is a bit confusing why you'd want a president with no ethics, when you wouldn't want that in a coworker, a boss, a wife, a friend, a minister, a teacher, a policeman, etc.

But I guess a President should be held to a much lower standard than any other citizen.

Ha! Hilarious and wrong. I'll take a great surgeon who likes to fondle himself to Transformer movies over one who sucks at surgery but is just a sweet guy.

Police are different although I don't care what sexual hangups they have as long as it doesn't harm the work they do.

I don't want either surgeon. However I'l take a surgeon with partial vision in one eye over one that is blind. I'll also take a one armed surgeon with three fingers over one with no arms.

Police do care about officers that utilize prostitutes for their pleasure.

Hillary's aim was at the Taliban and ISIS. I'm pretty much in agreement there.

Minnesota child-sex sting results in 58 arrests, state says

7 hrs ago

April 10 (Reuters) - Minnesota authorities arrested 58 people accused of attempting to solicit children for sex or for trafficking in a sting operation staged during the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament, state authorities said on Wednesday.

The sting, which resulted in the rescue of 28 victims from trafficking situations, including one minor, occurred Friday through Monday as undercover agents posed as minors or as sex buyers and chatted with suspects on social media platforms. Investigators arrested the suspects as they arrived at an arranged meeting place for an encounter, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said in a statement.

Those arrested were not part of a single sex-trafficking ring, Jill Oliveira, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension with the Department of Public Safety, said.

"These were separate instances where they either responded to undercover officers posing as sex buyers or undercover officers posing as minors," Oliveira said.

Thousands of college basketball fans converged on Minneapolis last weekend to see the semifinal and final rounds of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's men's championship, won this year by the University of Virginia.

A total of 47 people were booked on felony charges of solicitation of a minor or solicitation of prostitution with someone under 16 years of age, while another 11 were booked on probable cause of sex trafficking and promotion of prostitution, the agency said.

"This operation is an example of the aggressive steps necessary to stop traffickers and johns who buy and sell people for sex in our communities," said Drew Evans, superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Obviously, the government has made a mistake since a close friend of Trump was among those arrested.
Anyhow, the whole stinky thing has Biden's fingerprints all over it. I'm sure he's implicated somehow even if we have to manufacture the how.

 

[MARIS61]

By now it's clear the Deep State will run Creepy Joe Biden, possibly because he's the only candidate they own. The 23 clowns in a car is just a non-threatening side diversion so libs won't waste time analyzing (or even learning about) Creepy Joe on his record.

Then he will be anointed at the Primary as Hillary was.

But his chances are gone before he started, as calls for investigations start to mount, and I doubt he'll still be running by the end of the year.

Frankly, I was surprised he'd run knowing his family was already so exposed back in 2016 on so many fronts and involved in shady pay-for-play deals with China.

Now they're even cohorts in slavery of Chinese Muslims:

China's 'vast, secret system' of AI reportedly tracks and controls Uighurs, a largely Muslim minority

By Christopher Carbone | Fox News

Chinese authorities are harnessing a vast and secretive system of advanced facial recognition technology in order to control and surveil the Uighurs, a largely Muslim minority, according to a new report.

Facial recognition technology, which is under fire from racial justice advocates and tech workers in the United States, has the potential to allow the easy targeting and profiling of communities through the lens of race and gender.

Based on interviews with five people who have direct knowledge of the systems, along with a review of databases used by the police, government procurement documents, and advertising materials distributed by the AI companies making the systems, The New York Times uncovered the first known example of a government intentionally using artificial intelligence for racial profiling.

The Uighurs had already been targeted by Chinese authorities in the western region of Xinjiang with tools of surveillance, including tracking people's DNA, but these newly revealed systems allow officials to target the largely Muslim minority in up to 16 different provinces and regions across China.

According to the Times, a group of new startups is catering to the authoritarian country's appetite for surveillance and control.

"Take the most risky application of this technology, and chances are good someone is going to try it," Clare Garvie, an associate at the Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown Law, told the Times. "If you make a technology that can classify people by an ethnicity, someone will use it to repress that ethnicity."

The debate in America over the use of AI has mostly centered around the bias of the people designing the technology. Internal systems used by Amazon's HR department, for example, ended up rejecting basically all resumes that were submitted by women. Amazon workers and some lawmakers have called for the company to stop marketing and selling its AI software to police departments in the U.S. over fears about racial bias and potential misuse.

The surveillance technology being used in China is also a big business, according to the Times, which reports that four of the companies behind the AI are each valued at more than $1 billion. With the potential for more profits to be made, there's a concern among advocates that the type of systems used in China could find their way into other countries.

"I don't think it's overblown to treat this as an existential threat to democracy," Jonathan Frankle, an AI researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told the Times. "Once a country adopts a model in this heavy authoritarian mode, it's using data to enforce thought and rules in a much more deep-seated fashion than might have been achievable 70 years ago in the Soviet Union. To that extent, this is an urgent crisis we are slowly sleepwalking our way into."

Joe Biden's son invested in Chinese app that spies on Muslims, as US condemns China over 'concentration camps'
By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News

How serious is the situation with China? Reaction from Republican strategist Ned Ryun.

An investment fund backed by Hunter Biden, son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, invested in a surveillance system used to spy on Muslims in China, a new report claims.

The former vice president has been facing scrutiny over his son’s business dealings in Ukraine and other countries, with reports focusing on Hunter Biden’s role in the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.

The company employed the younger Biden as a board member as the U.S. and the Obama administration were mulling a course of action amid Russia's invasion in Eastern Ukraine. Biden also apparently threatened the Ukrainian president to fire a prosecutor who happens to have been investigating corruption of Burisma.

BIDEN FACES SCRUTINY FOR DEMANDING OUSTER OF UKRAINE OFFICIAL PROBING FIRM THAT EMPLOYED HIS SON

But Hunter’s investments go farther to the east, drawing scrutiny over his involvement in China amid a controversy over his father’s dismissive comments on the campaign trail about the potential threats China poses to the U.S.

According to the Intercept, Hunter’s investment company in China, known as Bohai Harvest RST, invested in Face++, a technology used by the Chinese government to introduce a mass surveillance state and spy on its citizens.

The technology has been used to spy on Muslims in China’s western province of Xinjiang, where an estimated 1 million Muslims are held in “re-education” camps, providing authorities access to data that shows personal information such as their religious activity, blood type and usage of utilities.

The U.S. government on Friday criticized China’s mass detention of Muslims.

“The (Chinese) Communist Party is using the security forces for mass imprisonment of Chinese Muslims in concentration camps,” Randall Schriver, who leads Asia policy at the U.S. Defense Department, said during a briefing, according to Reuters. He added that the number of detained Muslims could be “closer to 3 million citizens.”

CHINA'S 'VAST, SECRET SYSTEM' OF AI REPORTEDLY TRACKS AND CONTROLS UIGHURS, A LARGELY MUSLIM MINORITY

The company also consists of a network of other funds that make other investments, making Hunter Biden an influential businessman in China, according to the outlet, which somewhat explains Bohai Harvest’s dependence on an international subsidiary of the state-owned Bank of China to finance its investments.

The revelation comes as Biden caught flak on the campaign trail after expressing lack of concern over China as a global competitor to the U.S. and mocked those taking the Chinese threat seriously at a rally on Wednesday.

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man!” Biden exclaimed. “The fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the East -- I mean in the West. They can't figure out how they're going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They're not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they're not competition for us.”

Reacting to those remarks, President Trump said Biden was among many politicians who were “naïve” regarding China.

“For somebody to be so naive, and say China's not a problem – if Biden actually said that, that's a very dumb statement,” Trump said.
