Now do Jared Kushner.
This Kremlin propaganda outlet only cares about Jared Kushner when they’re criticizing Israel.
It would be amazing that they’ve covered private citizen Hunter Biden more than they covered Trump Admin official Jared Kushner if I were a credulous enough sucker to actually believe they were a good-faith progressive publication.
Insanely critical of Russia:
The Russian capitalist and managerial class was created out of a certain kind of people: the bureaucratically connected criminal vultures who fed on economic destruction.

Literally the first thing on that list:
In Russia, Vladimir Putin’s evil genius matters less than pressures from the ultrarich, US foreign policy, and the ravages of the neoliberal Yeltsin years.
[Okay, Putin might be bad, but the real villain is the US and the more liberal regimes that preceded him]
This is what Kremlin propaganda aimed at the US left looks like, “sure Russia is bad, but the accusations against them are lies and it’s really NATO and the US that are responsible for everything bad that has ever happened involving Russia”
Hunter Biden isn’t relevant to anything. He’s a nobody.
You don’t want your 1.4 million dollars back? I mean I care about tax evasion especially from the rich.
You don’t want your 1.4 million dollars back?
He has since paid his back taxes, so this isn’t a valid argument.
"In the year after he disclosed a federal investigation into his “tax affairs” in late 2020, President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, paid off a significant tax liability, even as a grand jury continued to gather evidence in a wide-ranging examination of his international business dealings, according to people familiar with the case.
Mr. Biden’s failure to pay all his taxes has been a focus of the ongoing Justice Department investigation. While wiping out his liability does not preclude criminal charges against him, the payment could make it harder for prosecutors to win a conviction or a long sentence for tax-related offenses, according to tax law experts, since juries and judges tend to be more sympathetic to defendants who have paid their bills."

The rich evading taxes is theft. Unfortunately you’ll probably see where these pathetic evasions end up in November… a complete inability to respond to these ridiculous issues the Repubicans are attracting people with, it’s like 2016 all over again. Good luck with winning the online debate wars while you lose everything else. After WW2 all the citizens of Germany shared blame, so it will be for Americans.
Hunter Biden, the president’s problematic son, has finally been indicted for his years of tax evasion. Only in an egregiously unequal society like ours do the children of the rich and powerful get away with corruption for as long as Hunter Biden has.
I guess my old coworker who made $35k a year and evaded their taxes for more than 30yrs was just lying.
Fuck off with this “OnLy ThE rIcH CaN eVaDe TaXeS.” Lots of people do it without getting audited. There’s plenty of reasons to be pissed off about the two tiers of justice, but this Hunter Biden angle is just ignorant and smacks of Republicans clutching their pearls as they try to build public momentum for their impeachment bullshit.
It’s going to be a major election issue for Republicans like it or not, do you give them that by pretending it’s not a thing?
No. I choose not to engage, because that’s what they want. They don’t care about acting in good faith, and they aren’t interested in sussing out the facts or nuance.
ETA: I wasn’t directing the “fuck off” at you, OP, but at the author of the article.
I choose not to engage, because that’s what they want.
They do want you to roll over and not have a response, having a simple reasoned reasoned response that’s actually describing what’s going on without the conspiracy is far better. It shows you understand more and aren’t angry or shy to address it.
Holy shit, I bailed on Jacobin Mag when the Ukraine War started and they cried “Both sides!” on every other piece, but this is a new low.
Hope you hate it <3 I love sharing Jacobin cause they generate a lot of interaction and agitate people’s status quo notions. Marxist view of Russia is like that, mistaken for “both sides” analysis (which breaks American’s brains) cause they don’t understand the materialist view of anything. Blame lack of education and their shitty news media for that. Anyway enjoy.
“It’s a Marxist analysis of Russia!”
No, it’s just apologism for imperialism while claiming anti-imperialism. Imagine being this brainrotted.
That makes no sense ^. Anti-imperialism requires criticizing America’s global actions and you interpret that as pro-Russia. Simple as that.
