So here’s a guy that has no degree or any experience in the oil and gas business being paid $50,000 per month to advise a company in Ukraine on oil and gas issues? I would like anyone on this board to explain that to me and if you could have achieved the same. Nothing to do with Trump or impeachment. Just a simple question. I won’t even mention that he had previously been in drug rehab.

It should surprise no one that they wanted someone like Hunter on the board. And I agree that it creates the appearance of impropriety, and he should have refused.
But there is no evidence of ACTUAL impropriety.
That’s the important bit.
Lots and lots of inferring. By Biden enemies.
That’s all.
something else going on wouldn’t you say?

PS: does someone need a degree in let’s say, petroleum to work for an oil gas company?
If you want to make millions you just need guts and luck. But most who look for oil deposits in a competitive environment need degree to understand what type of locations are most likely to produce more oil economically.

So much integrity and consistency in your values and beliefs. I'm overwhelmed.

I believe you are making shit up about me again Cole.
Maybe if you can provide a link to my defense of Hunter Biden?

I am not a blind partisan. I have my preferences but they can easily be overcome.
What concerns me much more than individual political policies is the spread of misinformation in this country. I've seen no evidence that Trump's policies will create significant lasting damage, but the way he and his supporters manhandle the truth, reason, and civility is the real threat of his legacy.
I have little interest in "defending" Hunter Biden. I just want to make sure the lynch mob for him and any others have their facts right.
I’ll answer for you, no.
You said "no degree". I didn't comment one way or another about holding an oil and gas job.
Why would you answer a question about his degree by pivoting to his work experience?
Can you follow along? Degree in the oil industry. What don’t you get. Argue the point. Why waste our time? You know what I’m saying? Answer my post. If you had a degree in Romance languages would you deserve $50k advising in the oil and gas industries. Or would you insist you had a degree what’s wrong with you?
Are you implying that the oil industry does not employ BA's with law degrees?

But you never address the substance of my posts.
to the biz.
Not that it’s relevant but the Hunter Biden pay off stinks like a dead fish as well.

There likely plenty of bigwigs in oil & gas that do not have petroleum engineering degrees.
The liberal arts education provided by Georgetown and other top schools is intended to provide a well-rounded education for any career. At least in theory. Whether that works in the real world is another discussion. And I don't know the "consulting" he was doing, but if it involved contracts, regulations and government interactions, then his Yale law degree would certainly be relevant.
Even highly educated oil and gas consultants don’t get $50k a month. Can’t you at least be truthful? Why defend what you know is not possible?
I truly think Joe did nothing wrong and that clown prosecutor wasn’t investigating his kid, or likely anyone else of note.
However, the only reason that dear Hunter got that money was who his daddy was. That pisses off those who work hard for what they earn.
And of course in the ultimate irony, they then elect the ultimate grifter swampster.
And so it goes.
I'm not defending it.
Fucker has degrees though. I can tell you that.
Ukraine is, writ large.
No question that the the IMF, EU, and the Obama Administration are all over the nation like a Paul Manafort Ostrich coat for corruption.
They want some connection to help so they look to buy into someone close to the main player, the US.
Who better than a clown like Hunter?
Where the story falls apart is this prosecutor far from being anti corruption, is one of the main corrupt forces. He isn’t investigating Biden or that company. Joe is doing it to show he’s the sheriff rooting this shit out which is what Barry and the diplomats want him to do.
And none of his is one iota relevant to what Orange did.

I would say that I would guess that most people making 600k per year should not be making that much, and Hunter Biden could very well be one of them.
know where the Ukraine is. But I don’t have Hunter’s multiple degrees from ivory league schools which you seem overly impressed.
I merely pointed out that they could be useful in the oil & gas industry.
Because I think I responded intelligently to the notion that "degree in the oil industry" is limited to "petroleum engineering".
I suspect that there are plenty of lawyers, business majors, and even arts majors in the "oil industry".
In fucking Ukraine when their Dad is given the job to clean up the country and dole out money. What is your fucking problem? Do you see a conflict at all?
I suspect the people with law degrees at oil & gas companies make more than people with petroleum engineering degrees, on average.
I could be wrong. But I guarantee you that people "consulting" oil & gas companies with law degrees make a shit-ton of money more than those with petroleum engineering degrees, on average.
But you wouldn’t know that.
I'll be happy to tell you the average salaries of the big firms that do oil and gas work.
Roughly speaking, first year lawyers in big NYC and Washington firms make $180,000. Average partner profits are well over $1,000,000.
question.
factor here. I don’t think Joe did anything wrong here. That payment though is typical DC swamp.
Hunter is a total loser. The wrong son died. A drug addict. Screwed his dead brothers wife. Getting $3 million in the Ukraine and a $1 billion deal with China and we are talking about degrees. WTF?
To increase wealth for family and friends in the most corrupt way possible. Meet the new boss same ( and worse) than the old boss.

You put a false tree in there. I spotted it. Nothing more, nothing less.
If I wanted to have an argument about whether Hunter Biden should have made what he made, then I would have had that argument.
