The hypocrisy is thicker’n peanut butter.

And that works two ways, doesn’t it?
Many of those pointing out the hypocrisy are the ones a short time ago who were educating us all on the emoluments clause.
They were also the same ones telling us how bad “whataboutism” was. Don’t hear that much around here any more.

please tell us how Biden violated the emolument clause.

I didn’t say he did, any more than Trump did. Many thought, under Trump, that benefits received from foreign countries for Trump’s family was an emolument clause violation. These people don’t have the same scrutiny for the Biden family interests.

what political appointment does Hunter Biden hold?

the emolument clause doesn’t apply to private citizens, which is why no one ever claimed Eric Trump violated it.

the only people who the left ever said violated the emolument clause were people employed by the Trump White House.

I will agree with you that Hunter Biden has made his career coasting off his Dads name.
but that isn’t illegal.

Call me When Biden hold a political rally on the White House Lawn.

“Trump reportedly owns or possesses an interest in several hundred companies, many of which do some business in foreign countries, with entities controlled by foreign governments. Trump neither divested his investments nor did he put his investments in a blind trust: Putting your adult children in charge of your business holdings, as he has, is a far cry from blind trust. That is just outsourcing to your family.”
Why the emoluments clause will not end Trump’s presidency (nbcnews.com)

I am not saying that either Trump or Biden violated the emoluments clause, I am just showing the argument was made.

I believe a close family member benefitting from a President or VP who deals with a foreign country, giving out preferences, is in fact a political issue and that is why it is in the Politics forum.

If he’s not in government office, why is he relevant to a Politics thread?

Because a big-man government politico is protecting him.

Biden has been in politics for 47 years, if the dude was corrupt we would know by now.

We do.

Ya I recall you having issue with this for the last four years.

And once again, lets move the issue from the Biden’s to someone who is, to you, an anonymous poster on the internet.
That is what is important. /sarc

Nah just kidding there isn’t any.

This is just great. We have a president who ran for president because his son begged him to run to save him. His own words.

For three years before they came up with nothing on Trump’s alleged collusion, I kept being told that you do the investigating first, before the proof.

Business Insider

Donald Trump Jr.'s new book is a lengthy rant about how his family has been...

Donald Trump Jr.'s book is filled with falsehoods as he decries critics of the Trump family and paints himself as a victim of unfair attacks.

Donald Trump Jr.'s new book is portrayed as a takedown of a culture of victimization that he says has permeated the political left, but throughout it he portrays himself as the victim.

Donald Trump Jr.'s new book is portrayed as a takedown of a culture of victimization that he says has permeated the political left, but throughout it he portrays himself as the victim.

No comparison.

This is the book that the leftist elites don’t want you to read – Donald Trump, Jr., exposes all the tricks that the left uses to smear conservatives and push them out of the public square, from online “shadow banning” to rampant "political correctness."In Triggered, Donald Trump, Jr. exposes all the tricks that the left uses to smear conservatives and push them out of the public square, from online “shadow banning” to fake accusations of “hate speech.” No topic is spared from political correctness. This is the book that the leftist elites don’t want you to read. Trump, Jr. writes about the importance of fighting back and standing up for what you believe in. From his childhood summers in Communist Czechoslovakia that began his political thought process, to working on construction sites with his father, to the major achievements of President Trump’s administration, Donald Trump, Jr. spares no details and delivers a book that focuses on success and perseverance, and proves offense is the best defense.

Don Jr plays the victim throughout the book. You claimed he didn’t play the victim. Here is an excerpt from his book describing what he is thinking as he stands among the hundreds of thousands of graves at Arlington National Cemetery.

“In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we’d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed — voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were ‘profiting off the office,’” Trump Jr. wrote.

This is what he thought while at Arlington during a ceremony as the bugler is playing taps. Sounds like he is playing the victim to me.
