Not sure what's that got to do with Biden anyways. Found or not, it's an accident or malfuntion like very many others. Don in the WH instead of Joe wouldn't have changed the slightest weeny bit. It won't be the last F-35 falling out of the sky either.

| | Re: Will Biden be a good President? | Quote: | |  | | | It was his diversity hires that lost the jet so technically it is his fault. We used to treat mental illness now we give them the highest ranking positions in the military. Who could have seen this coming? If this happened under Trump we all know how you would react so please drop the double standards and try to develop some consistency in your "logic".
The fact they are asking the public to keep an eye out is laughable and humiliating at the same time. These jets have layers of redundancy, backups that back up the backups. The ONLY way an F-35 or any other fighter jet goes missing is because it was shot down and even then they know where the wreckage is to be found. If it did land in Cuba than this was a gift to China. That's called treason and should be punishable if the DOJ wasn't the new KGB. | | | | | Assuming you are referring to Lloyd Austin (as someone mentioned here), why do you refer to him as a "diversity hire?" Is that because he's black? Do you think that a black person cannot be hired due to their credentials? He has a 50-year career in the US military after graduating from West Point in 1975.
Also, does anyone even know yet why exactly that pilot had ejected from the plane? Was it due to pilot error or fault with the aircraft itself? And why would you assume that it has something to do with Biden or Lloyd Austin or that it's their fault? F-35's are incredibly complex machines. And I highly doubt that it's actually Joe Biden or Lloyd Austin that does the inspections on them. They are built by Lockheed Martin.

Absolutely loving the creative effort going into the mental gymnastics to blame Biden for losing a fighter jet. Maybe he should have popped his airpods into the cockpit before it took off? | This user would like to thank ShirleyNot for this useful post: | |

" New testimony from a number of FBI and Internal Revenue Service officials casts doubt on key claims from an IRS whistleblower who alleges there was political interference in the federal criminal investigation of Hunter Biden’s taxes.
According to transcripts provided to CNN, several FBI and IRS officials brought in for closed-door testimony by House Republicans in recent days said they don’t remember US Attorney David Weiss saying that he lacked the authority to decide whether to bring charges against the president’s son or that Weiss said he had been denied a request for special counsel status."
This inquiry is slowly falling apart, the GOP is running around trying to get testimony from more people in the hopes of getting something useful but the longer it takes the less likely they will.

| | | | | Are you suggesting the GOP put up a weak and opportunistic case just to "redeem" the odious Trump? Shocking!  
I'll repeat myself again: it's really such a pity the GOP is playing this toxic and antagonizing game. Right now, what the US needs is a decent and cosntructive right wing. Reagan would be really ashamed and shocked if he could see the current state of his successors.

| | Re: Will Biden be a good President? House Oversight Chair James Comer, who is investigating President Joe Biden for what Republicans call potentially impeachable offenses, was given unrestricted access today to a batch of his emails from his time as vice president that had been redacted. Turns out no smoking gun, and the redactions were all personal stuff like birthday parties.
One absurd claim by Comer is about a May 27, 2016 schedule card that includes a call with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
Hunter Biden was copied on the day’s schedule.
Comer is claiming Biden was sending a secret message to his son that he was about to fire the prosecutor. The fact that the prosecutor Viktor Shokin was actually fired in March two months earlier was ignored.

Mr. Zelensky did not have a great week in the US
-more questions raised by US lawmakers about the level of support there
-ATACM are not going over for now
-Zelensky gave a speech that was sparsely attended and not standing room like previous ones
-US House Speaker avoided being photographed with him and declined to let him give a speech in front of congress
-close ally Poland cutting them off and comparing Ukraine to a drowning man and pointing out the dangers of helping such folks
