Even the far left, The Nation is dumping on Dems

Dems Need Honest Reckoning With Biden's Failed Presidency
Jeet Heer, The Nation

The Cliff notes:

A disaster on that scale calls for at least some self-reflection. When dealing with a collective entity such as a political party, the minimum demand should be a thoroughgoing autopsy.
Yet, for a variety of reasons, Democrats have largely avoided even cursory introspection.
Pete Buttigieg said, “We’re also not in a position to wallow in hindsight. We’ve got to get ready for some fundamental tests for the future of the country and this party.”
The problem with Buttigieg’s refusal to “wallow in hindsight” is that for many voters the failure of the Biden presidency isn’t something that can easily be relegated to the past but remains a reason to distrust the Democratic Party.
Democrats won’t be able to win back the public unless they start talking frankly about what when wrong—and how party elites were implicated in the disaster.

And then there’s this:

2015 is when all his extortion racketeering operations started coming to light.


payments from foreign entities.


Below is a timeline that details key dates in our investigation.


The main points of interest are:


1) Romania: On September 28, 2015, Vice President Biden welcomed Romanian President Klaus Iohannis to the White House. Within five weeks of this meeting, a Romanian businessman involved with a high-profile corruption prosecution in Romania, Gabriel Popoviciu, began depositing a Biden associate’s bank account, which ultimately made their way into Biden family accounts. Popoviciu made sixteen of the seventeen payments, totaling over $3 million, to the Biden associate account while Joe Biden was Vice President. Biden family accounts ultimately received approximately $1.038 million. The total amount from Romania to the Biden family and their associates is over $3 million.


2) China- CEFC: On March 1, 2017—less than two months after Vice President Joe Biden left public office—State Energy HK Limited, a Chinese company, wired $3 million to a Biden associate’s account. This is the same bank account used in the above “Romania” section. After the Chinese company wired the Biden associate account the $3 million, the Biden family received approximately $1,065,692 over a three-month period in different bank accounts. Additionally, the CEFC Chairman gives Hunter Biden a diamond worth $80,000. Lastly, CEFC creates a joint venture with the Bidens in the summer of 2017. The timeline lays out the “WhatsApp” messages and subsequent wires from the Chinese to the Bidens of $100,000 and $5 million. The total amount from China, specifically with CEFC and their related entities, to the Biden family and their associates is over $8 million.


3) Kazakhstan: On April 22, 2014, Kenes Rakishev, a Kazakhstani oligarch used his Singaporean entity, Novatus Holdings, to wire one of Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca entities $142,300. The very next day—April 23, 2014—the Rosemont Seneca entity transferred the exact same amount of money to a car dealership for a car for Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden and Devon Archer would represent Burisma in Kazakhstan in May/June of 2014 as the company attempted to broker a three-way deal among Burisma, the Kazakhstan government, and a Chinese state-owned energy company.


4) Ukraine: Devon Archer joined the Burisma board of directors in spring of 2014 and was joined by Hunter Biden shortly thereafter. Hunter Biden joined the company as counsel, but after a meeting with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky in Lake Como, Italy, was elevated to the board of directors in the spring of 2014. Both Biden and Archer were each paid $1 million per year for their positions on the board of directors. In December 2015, after a Burisma board of directors meeting, Zlochevsky and Hunter Biden “called D.C.” in the wake of mounting pressures the company was facing. Zlochevsky was later charged with bribing Ukrainian officials with $6 million in an attempt to delay or drop the investigation into his company. The total amount from Ukraine to the Biden family and their associates is $6.5 million.


5) Russia: On February 14, 2014, a Russian oligarch and Russia’s richest woman, Yelena Baturina, wired a Rosemont Seneca entity $3.5 million. On March 11, 2014, the wire was split up: $750,000 was transferred to Devon Archer, and the remainder was sent to Rosemont Seneca Bohai, a company Devon Archer and Hunter Biden split equally. In spring of 2014, Yelena Baturina joined Hunter Biden and Devon Archer to share a meal with then-Vice President Biden at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. The total amount from Russia to the Biden family and their associates is $3.5 million.


Beyond this timeline, here are links to our First, Second, Third, and Fourth Bank Memorandums that provide detailed descriptions and show actual bank records and wires.

The Democrat's organized criminal conspiracies came to a halt when Trump beat the traitor Hillary in 2016; he's been laying the groundwork for dodging prosecution for a long time. Mobster Vincent Gigante, his inspiration, spent decades faking it.

Lock him up, along with his family. They're just gangsters, is all.
 
Ahhh, but does any of your MAGA mouth pieces, flunkies and stooges have the cojones to openly and unapologetically contradict Cheeto Jeezus?
 
Now the Washington Post is piling on.


For Democrats, there’s no escaping (for now) the Biden hangover from 2024​

The verdict is in. Joe Biden is to blame. So too are the advisers who protected him in the White House by hiding his frailties. Together they unwittingly choreographed the comeback of President Donald Trump. The country is living with the consequences, and the Democratic Party is looking for a way out of the wilderness.
The behind-the-scenes details that have emerged are arresting: Biden unable to recognize actor George Clooney at a California fundraiser (a description disputed by someone else present at the time). Biden isolated from Cabinet members and lawmakers in the latter years of his presidency. Biden’s workdays reduced in hours. Biden tethered to a teleprompter even at intimate fundraisers. Advisers fearful that another fall could require him to use a wheelchair in a second term.

lol you can't even post without parroting stuff from your Democrat owners, so why would anybody give a crap about what you think? We can go read your masters news sites for ourselves and not waste time with second hand puppets and sycophants like you. You're comedy relief.

Most of your post is horseshit. Biden's presidency was a huge success - not just due to Biden's leadership, but due to the qualified personnel he staffed his administration with.

What is true or what I do agree with is that the Dems lack a clear message and a strong leader. It's pretty fucking shameful given the huge opening trump has given us with his continued corrupt and harmful horseshit.
