Serious sexial offences? Why haven't they been brought to light in the court of law?

They have or what else do you think the hush money was for.
In fact he’s been named in one THIS WEEK.

What hush money?
If that's true how does that hold up when litigation starts?

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s request that the United States replace him as the defendant in a defamation lawsuit, which alleges he raped a woman in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, was denied Tuesday by a federal judge.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan came after the Justice Department argued that the United States — and by extension the American people — should replace Trump as the defendant in a lawsuit filed by the columnist E. Jean Carroll.
The government’s lawyers contended that the United States could step in as the defendant because Trump was forced to respond to her lawsuit to prove he was physically and mentally fit for the job.
A lawyer for Carroll, Roberta Kaplan, called it a clear victory for her client.
“The simple truth is that President Trump defamed our client because she was brave enough to reveal that he had sexually assaulted her, and that brutal, personal attack cannot be attributed to the Office of the President,” Kaplan said in a statement.
What a lovely guy he is

But even if there is just an element of truth to the Hunter Biden corruption claims. That is at least equally matched by the Trump family with a history of corruption, I mean Roy Cohn, mafioso, breaching gaming laws in New Jersey, running corrupt scam organisations, refusing to divest from business interest as president, profiteering as president, extreme nepotism and cronyism, putting lobbyists into government, a large number of his campaign advisors and inner circle actually being successfully prosecuted for corruption, his record number of lies in office is corruption of the public and the office of president, he gained office through corrupt means as russian fake news targeted floating voters with misinformation, foreign officials have stayed in his hotels, paid by the government giving him access to tax dollars. The list goes on, again this is far in excess of anything that you have thrown at Biden, but of course you see them as all the same, because the lazy and objective response meets your prejudices.
So you got the choice of Biden a corrupt, but generally benign and competent president OR Trump a vastly corrupt, evil abusive sociopath, and incompetent politician. They are still not as bad as each other at all.

The theory subscribed to in the American justice department is that you can’t indict a serving president. Trump is named as I believe Individual one on the Michael Cohen indictment. Cohen went to prison for that. Trump will likely have to take his turn in court when he is out office hopefully in January.
The sexual assault cases may or may not happen in the same way as the Weinstein prosecutions occurred.

are you questioning that Trump paid hush money? That is an absolute indisputable fact, on multiple occasions, it's his modus operandi. Wonder how many times Biden has paid hush money? I'd hazard a guess at zero.
You're not doing very well in the 'Biden is as bad as Trump' argument my friend.

Michael D. Cohen, a former lawyer for President Trump, was sentenced to three years in prison on Wednesday after denouncing Mr. Trump and explaining that “I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds.”

Shakes head and gives up. Treat that statement any way you want, I couldn't care less.
Just watch this story unfold.

Just more supposition my friend, I asked for evidence why Biden is as bad as Trump, 'wait and see' is the opposite of evidence. The only thing you have brought to the table is that his son did well out of it.....which can also be levied at Trump, but then there is a lifetime of dodgy behaviour from Trump which you haven't proven Biden to be equal to.
What your response tells me, is that a) you don't have any evidence that Biden is as bad, and b) you hope that Biden is as bad.

If anyone sincerely beleives Joe Biden is in the same league as Donald Trump, they have big problems. Joe Biden is far from perfect but he is infinitely better an option than the disgusting, racist, corrupt mess that Trump is. It's like trying to say there's an equvalence between having a tooth removed and having your limbs amputated.

I still do not see your point. I accept well educated people voted to remain on the whole.
What is the suggestion that each vote should be weighted?!

I get a little puzzled at some of the criticism Biden gets over Iraq. The first gulf war was justified, the mistake was stopping when they did, if anything. And his son was deployed in Iraq in later years when Biden was Vice President, so it's not like he wasn't personally invested in their policy in the region.

Just out of curiosity do you think the middle east got better or worse after the first gulf war?
Why was it justified? I was only a young kid when it kicked off so looking for some education. A quick read on Wikipedia shows 25,000-50,000 Iraqi casualties and 3,500+ civilian casualties compared to 147 coalition deaths.
