Show me any evidence that the Z government laundered money to the Bidens.

Sounds good but you made it up.

Trump supported the Z government. Hunter got his Burisma money before that.

Stop making up BS when a real war is going on.

You know what I don’t get with these dumbasses who just swallow Russian propaganda without even once applying some critical thinking to it?

No matter how angry you Brits get, the Challenger 2s are still burning on the Eastern steppe...

“Just saw a report yesterday accusing Zelensky of stealing $400 million”

And the report is probably just as credible as Z’s yacht and mansion purchases.

If Z was so corrupt why would they make up stuff like him buying yachts? Would not there be plenty of true things to go after him with?

Stop making up BS.

Show us the evidence or you’re just a liar.

There has never been an ounce of evidence ever that the Zekensky government paid the Bidens money.

Just sounds good to the people you fool here.

And apparently they didn’t buy any yachts, either.

Pound what you want.

Conservatives must never forget massing murdering Kremlin Bolsheviks invented gaslighting. There has always been useful fools happy to carry the Kremlin’s filthy water.

“without even once applying some critical thinking to it?”

Sorely lacking all over the place. For instance, Was thinking:

Did Russia try to influence the 2016/2020 election in Trumps favor?

Or did Russia try to influence the 2016/2020 election in Clinton/Bidens favor?

Or did Russia do nothing of the sort.

I would like to hear some thoughts on that...

Trump is American.

Zelensky is not.

So you're falling back on a double standard?

One English-language site was instrumental in spreading the rumour - DC Weekly.

Not to mention trolls here on FR.

I love how all the usual suspects show up to denounce this as a lie, to amplify the lie, or to use this opportunity to distract from the revealed lie in order to parrot another lie.

All the usual nonsense from the troll farm.

“Oh yeah, but Zelensky did this...”

“This might be false but I know he stole money!”

“Look over here, SQUIRREL!!”

It really is pathetic how these tools can’t stand being revealed to be just as phony as their endlessly discredited sources like Doug ‘Treason’ Macgregor and Scott ‘Where’s the Little Girls?’ Ritter.

Yes indeed! "Although this well-researched article accusing Zelensky of corruption turned out to be a lie," they always claim, "I just KNOW that he is a grifter! I just KNOW it!"

Pretty thin gruel.

Navy Patriot, you make your point in a discussion about fake news by using a gif from a fictional movie that includes a fake snake?

I’d make fun of you for doing this but you’re humiliating yourself better than I can so...CARRY ON! LOL!!!

So N Patriot comes on and says the Zekensky government is funneling money to the Bidens.

I say show the evidence I’ve never seen any.

So I get repeated insults back but no evidence.

I think if you’re going to say stuff, somewhere there should be some credible back up. But no, they don’t need that.
