Such a crock NBC...the public has known this for years, but you refused to do your job! The country's FINALLY awake! So convenient that this is just coming out....now that Daddy's OUT! Shame on you NBC and the Today Show! Sad!

[HLStrickland]

buyden knew that's where his 10% for the Big Guy came from. Remember the recording that hunter was saying the BIG GUY was sitting right NEXT TO HIM and he wanted the money deposited within so much time? PEPPERRIDGE FARMS REMEMBERS.

It doesn’t matter everyone knows his dad is going to give him a blanket pardon on his way out the door. He will never spend a second in jail and will go on living a life of wealth and privilege

Now that daddy Joe Biden is pretty much out of the picture, Hunter Biden is fair game.

[Furryfeather]

Who cares. His dad isnt a prez candidate anymore.

[OliveSunshine]

[charlesdalberth]
