Waste Of Time
I know this is an utter waste of time, but I will say it anyway.
Trump asked Zelensky to announce an investigation of Biden, and then Trump lied about it.
According to you guys, Trumps lies have no ramifications.
If the whistleblower had not come forward, there would be an "announced" Ukrainian "investigation" into Joe Biden underway today. Since there is nothing to investigate, it would be a fake "announced" investigation, being made to ensure that President* Trump would remain amenable to helping Ukraine. The blackmailing of Ukraine would be ongoing.
The effect in the US would be that Trump would get to preface every mention of Joe Biden , who is leading the Democratic presidential field at this point, with the characterization that Biden is "dirty" because he is being investigated by Ukraine. No one would know that this this "investigation" by Ukraine was the result of Trump blackmailing them.
For the rest of the 2020 election Trump would be regularly letting everyone know that Joe Biden was under current investigation by Ukraine, for corruption in that country.
It is highly possible that, without the whistleblower, Trump would be able to smear Biden's campaign , and get away with it, at least in the eyes of those who dont care that Trump has lied 16,000 times.
How many other of those 16,000 lies have led people to misunderstand issues or situations, or disregard the truth in dozens or hundreds of other circumstances?
It is IDIOTIC to suggest that 16,000 lies by the president of the United States have no effect on anything, unless we have the philosophy that nothing anyone says , ever, means anything either.
If Trump's 16,000 lies dont mean anything, then why does it bother you that people mention them, after all, complaints about the lies dont mean anything either, using your logic.
How many other of those 16,000 lies have led people to misunderstand issues or situations, or disregard the truth in dozens or hundreds of other circumstances?
It is IDIOTIC to suggest that 16,000 lies by the president of the United States have no effect on anything
The lying and bamboozling on social media, such as NT, by Trump supporters, is out of control.
"If the whistleblower had not come forward, there would be an "announced" Ukrainian "investigation" into Joe Biden underway today. "
You mean the mere thought of an investigation by the Ukraine triggered the whistleblower to act? I wonder what he was afraid of?
Lots of rumors out there that the whistleblower is Kellyanne Conway.
His name is Eric Ciaramella
So all these "crimes" that the biden's allegedly did, (according to trump, with absolutely no evidence at all), happened in 2015.
Trump signed the Ukraine aid in 2017 with no hold.
Trump signed it in 2018 with no hold.
Trump signed it in 2019, but held it just a couple weeks after Biden announced he was running for president, and he was crushing trump in the polls, (as reported by fox fake news).
Naw, nothing fishy about that at all..

Why did Burisma hire Hunter Biden?
In 2006, George W. appointed Hunter to a five-year term on the board of Amtrak. He served as the board's Vice Chairman, but resigned both positions in 2009, after his father became V.P.
Also in 2009, Hunter Biden was hired by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. Burisma retained BSF to handle a few US business dealings, and Hunter was one of the lawyers assigned to the account.
So, the answer to your question is name recognition and board experience.

Sure. "Name recognition." In that his name could be brandished around to intimidate opponents of Burisma and make it seem that Burisma had the VP of the United States behind it. Burisma bought the name.
Board experience? Sure A political appointment to an American government owned business that he wasn't qualified for somehow qualified Biden for a board position on a billion dollar Ukranian Energy Corporation? Good lord, how naive.
It's a perfectly normal career path to get kicked out of the Navy for drug use and immediately fall into a no show job paying millions of dollars that one lacks any practical experience for. Billion dollar corporations love putting drug users on the board of directors.
Oh, and since Biden did legal work for Boies, he was legally ineligible to act as an outside board member for Burisma. Not that legality matters in theses sort of things.
Please don't tell me you think Biden would have been hired by Burisma if his dad wasn't overseeing Ukranian policy for the Obama administration.
Why did trump hire Rudy Colludy's son to work in the WH, making 95k a year, (taxpayer money), to literally do nothing at all?
Also, makes no difference why Hunter was hired. If it's illegal for children of politicians to make money overseas, trumps kids belong in prison.
Also, so what if Hunter had no experience, Trump has no experience at all yet 60 million people voted for that bottom feeding fucker.
Do you seriously think that trumps kids aren't making a dime because their dad is the POTUS? Are you ok with it? Ivanka has gotten no bid contracts for voting machines and patents in Saudi Arabia. Don Jr. was selling US Visas in China for 500k a pop right after trump took office, but that's ok? Please...just stop...
what foreign corporation hired a Trump kid?
so what if Hunter had no experience
Do you think you will ever criticize a Democrat? You'd be the guy saying so what if generic democrat shot someone on 5th Ave...
has no experience at all yet 60 million people voted for that bottom feeding fucker.
He was elected. You understand the difference?
That's not at all what I said.
Deflection. Also, I would be asking for a Dem president be removed it he/she had done a 10th of the bullshit trump has pulled.
Yes, that's what I said. Again, you are deflecting.
Trump had no experience at all, yet was elected. So why is Hunter having no experience a problem? Not like he was running for president.
