It's a bad look that the children of our political "elites" are getting cushy jobs because of who mom and dad are. That being said, it happens all the time in private companies as well. Think Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump get anywhere close to working in the White House if Trump isn't POTUS?
Hell no, they aren't qualified.
If Biden used his influence as VP to help out his son, yeah, it should be investigated. However, Trump should NOT be the one initiating it, and anyone with a lick of sense (him, not you) should know that.
If he wanted Turkey to investigate Biden, asking them to do it on an open phone call with official transcripts and US and Turkish officials listening in is absolutely moronic on his part.If I don't respond to you it means I have you on ignore, which means you are a douchenozzle.

Agreed. That's why I think it makes no sense outside of politics to have him testify. He's just another guy who the Dems say is beyond reproach and if he feels Trump was inappropriate, Trump should be removed from office. The whole premise is silly.

I could be wrong on this, but Trump’s position is that Burisma was being investigated by Ukraine for corruption but then Biden had it stopped, and that’s what he wants investigated—not how Hunter got the job.
There’s a disconnect for me here, though. He gets credit for the entire state of the economy, but no blame for hiring many people he later says are treasonous never Trumpers.
Again, I think the simpler explanation is they aren’t treasonous never Trumpers, he’s just lashing out at what he feels is betrayal.

To me, this is a moving goalpost.
“We have the memo and people who actually listened to the call. We don’t need the whistleblower.”
“Doesn’t matter. The whistleblower must be outed and testify, and we all must remember the whistleblower only had second-hand information.”
“Okay, here’s a firsthand witness who listened to the call.”
“He’s just another guy; it makes no sense for him to testify.”

Nancy Pelosi Tells Democrats That Impeachment Is Important Because the Voters Can’t Be Trusted to Make the Right Decision in 2020
“The weak response to these hearings has been, ‘Let the election decide.’ That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because POTUS is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.”
Take a little time and consider that.
Pelosi considers the matter too serious to be left to the voters. You can smear as much lipstick on Pelosi and her statement as you wish but the underlying contempt of the American voter, the electoral process, and the Constitution are still on display for all to see. For instance, this from Laurence Tribe who has not found a Democrat he’s unwilling to fluff:

You’ll have to take your economy comment with those that are doing that. I give him credit for what he’s responsible for as far as the economy. To think that his policies had nothing to do with the massive difference in the economy between the Obama years and now is just hating on the guy.

I’m not sure that’s a fair characterization, but that’s beside the point today.
Democrats and Republicans just voted to extend the Patriot Act, just like they got together to renew FISA 702 and loosen further the restrictions.
So let’s not forget that while we are in this mess over accusation of abusing power, both parties are totally cool with abuse when it comes to warrantless surveiling of Americans.
This is one reason I have zero sympathy even if there was abuse of the FISA court to go after Trump. The mere fact that Republicans are perfectly fine with those powers being used to go after us has disqualified them from sympathy. And the fact that both parties willingly made it easier to abuse the system while the Russia thing was going on would be laughable if it weren’t so sad.
That’s the real Russia story, that during all of that, both parties made the system easier to abuse by loosening what little restrictions there were.
Proof neither party—even the Trump-led party—cares not about you and me.

This pretty much sums up the clown show in Congress the last couple days.
The only genre I really know is Van Halen.

I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I think A) Presidents get too much credit and too much blame for the economy, B) that the list of people called treasonous Never Trumpers without evidence by Trump aren’t actually those things.
As I said earlier, of course he doesn’t personally oversee everything. But the scenario he’s presenting is false. That’s what I’m saying. What he’s saying is untrue. If it WERE true, then it would be concerning for the Executive Branch at large, but it isn’t true.
