So what?
Do you think that Ivanka would have gotten 16 new trademarks in 2018, 3 in 2017, and another 5 in 2019 from China if her daddy wasn't a president who is in the middle of a tariff war with China? One is for voting machines by the way.
Ivanka Trump gets initial approval from China for 16 new trademarks—including for 'voting machines'

you know what the difference is between Ivanka and Hunter? Ivanka has established backgrounds and business acumen in those areas. Hunter has zero, no background.

Ivanka will make money from her business, Hunter was paid directly for doing nothing.

According to the company he worked for, he provided legal advice. Which makes sense, what with him being a lawyer and all.

Here's my wish
that all of us could make 80 grand a month
for doing next to nothing.
Then we could pay 90% in taxes
and give everything to everyone for free.
What a world we could live in?
I think all would be happy then?

Nearly 30 years ago Donald Trump struggled to live on his $450,000 a month (approximately $884,000 today) allowance imposed on him by bankers, and argued that his daily expenses amounted to $583,000 (about $1,145,300 in 2019). This was during the formative years of his three now-adult children's lives, and he used them as part of his litigation that the restriction on his finances would be too severe.
Trump was a millionaire by age 8, not because of any work or cleverness of his own, but his father using him as a piggy bank to deposit money into; he was a millionaire before adulthood, and then received an annual allowance that was a staggering sum. His allowance from his father increased when he was in his midlife. Trump's own children have abundantly benefitted from their father's wealth and now profit immensely from his presidency. They're also the most infamous examples of nepotism. Jared Kushner being given his position when he is manifestly unqualified is egregious.

It's amusingly oblivious that Trump's tribe have decried Hunter Biden possibly being the recipient of nepotism. Your random linking to Hunter's marriage right after tsk tsk tsking someone from straying from topic is also funny for its pettiness.

Hunter Biden got $83G per month for Ukraine 'ceremonial' gig: report
Hunter Biden was reportedly paid $83,333 per month after being hired in 2014 by Burisma Holdings, one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, while serving as a non-executive “ceremonial figure” with a “powerful name,” a report said Friday.

From your Fox News article, in larger font in case you overlooked it:
No evidence of wrongdoing has been found and both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden deny the allegations. Hunter Biden has since pledged to avoid business deals with foreign entities if his father becomes president.

As for this:
Who's happier Conservatives or Liberals? POLL

You've snipped at people from straying from this thread topic, but since you've chosen to put this here, and your rah-rah rally thread has been closed, I'll add a response here.

The person who is the happiest is the one who has a satisfied mind. I in all genuineness feel sorry for Donald Trump because with all his wealth since infancy, with all his luxuries and all his power, that is something that he doesn't possess because it cannot be bought, transferred, or inherited. It's a decision to be happy based on the privilege not of power or goods but of life itself. Trump has been conditioned since childhood to believe he's entitled to perpetually getting his way, and his happiness is dependent on it. His joy is ephemeral. As soon as he is told no, as soon as he's criticized, it evaporates. It's a benevolence to tell children the word no when necessary and teach them how to accept it with grace; to show them how to adapt to setbacks and persevere through defeats and failures; to accept criticisms, to be fair, and take accountability. I think Trump being so spoiled as a child spoiled his ability to be truly happy as an adult, and that's sad.

lol, what? No. That isn't true at all. I don't have any interest in defending Hunter Biden, but you're just wrong.

Ivanka Trump - Wikipedia
Hunter Biden - Wikipedia

Hunter Biden's career has been longer, more varied, and more independent of his father than Ivanka's has, by a wide margin. Ivanka modeled in high school and then worked for maybe a year after college before joining the Trump Organization. Everything after that (which doesn't seem to be a whole lot) has been some variation on riding daddy's coattails or banking on his name.

Biden Jr has already stated that it was a bad idea.

What is your source that informs you of what Hunter Biden, Devin Archer, and Joseph Cofer Black, who is another American, did or didn't do?

What experience does Ivanka have with voting machines?

That what was a bad idea, Bob? You've spun yourself around in so many directions in this thread, throwing out links from every which way. On account of that I'm not sure what you're talking about.

He said he did not work for their legal team. But what he did do could require knowledge of basic legal principles.

I take Hunter Biden at his word. He would not have got a position paying 83,000 a month if his dad was not VP

are you saying he lied?

Hunter Biden Says Ukrainian Gas Company Involvement Was 'Poor Judgment'
Biden said his involvement in the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma was, in retrospect, "poor judgment on my part,"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Great money for poor judgment.
M

Well Bob, you've claimed your thread is about corruption but the gal who replied to you in the 1st post blew that allegation clear out of the water. Then you switched to talking about Hunter's marriage. Then beat the dead horse of your closed thread on happiness. Now you want to talk about judgement? Alright.
You realize that you're doing Hunter a solid by posting this, do you not?

On top of failing to show any corruption you've also totally failed to show why on Earth Joe Biden ought to be held responsible for the "poor judgement" of his middle aged son. You keep managing to put the Biden family in a much better light in contrast to the Trump family.

From Bob's newest link:

Biden also reiterated that he will not work for any foreign companies should his father become president.

Biden added that while he doesn't regret being on the board, "what I regret is not taking into account that there would be a Rudy Giuliani and a president of the United States that would be listening to this ridiculous conspiracy idea which has been completely debunked by everybody."

Exactly right. Bob keeps highlighting Donald's corruption in extorting Ukraine on account of being silly enough to listen to Rudy's farting debunked conspiracy theories into his ear. Donald has earned his impeachment hearings.

Also from Bob's latest link:
Several of President Trump's children have had business dealings in foreign countries. His daughter Ivanka said she shut down her fashion brand in China last year after receiving several Chinese patents that had first been applied for earlier. In September, son Eric Trump announced an agreement that would allow his family's business to construct luxury homes near a Trump-owned golf course in Scotland.

This fits in with what Bob said the thread is about - corruption.
