As Democratic strategist and pollster Celinda Lake and documentary filmmaker Mac Heller pointed out in the Washington Post in July, in the eight years between the 2016 and 2024 elections, 32 million Americans have become eligible to vote. In the same eight years, as many as 20 million older voters have died.
The constant line you hear on right-wing media is that Hunter Biden, a lawyer, has no marketable skills except for his connection to his famous politician father. That claim is at the root of the GOP’s outrage and the source of the “Biden Crime Family” meme in MAGA world. Hunter, Joe, “and associates”, the unsourced allegations forcefully argue, got paid millions, TWENTY MILLIONS!, by corrupt pro-Putin oligarchs in Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan. (No less an authority than Lyin’ Ted Cruz stated that Jim Comer has produced bank records of the $20,000,000 “quid” and that the “pro” is Joe Biden bragging about having carried out his end of the corrupt deal Zelensky wouldn’t admit to, MAGA’s stinking pile of offal is HERE).
hereditarily wealthy moron
Meanwhile, this cretin (pictured above) unable to get security clearance to work as a top presidential advisor and go through his crucial White House portfolio (ending the opioid crisis, making peace in the Middle East, draining the deep state swamp, czar of the president’s Covid Task Force, vetting requests for last-minute presidential pardons) because of numerous conflicts and financial problems, was supremely qualified for public service and entitled to the $640,000,000 he and his wife raked in during their four years as public servants, and $3,000,000,000 in foreign money for his new hedge fund, including two billion from his new buddy MBS in Saudi Arabia, who acted against the advice of all his financial advisers and kicked in two billion in pocket change to this C student, imbecile and incompetent businessman right after Jared left public service.
Here’s a great line from Jared from his time as czar of the covid task force, brilliantly explaining to America why the federal stockpile of crucial PPE was not for use by anyone in the individual states:
But this is all misdirection and I am straying from the point, Hunter Biden had pictures of his penis on a laptop that Giuliani got his hands on!
Under Georgia law, the names of the members of a grand jury must be listed at the end of their indictment. Which makes sense actually, if you don’t know who they are how the hell can you intimidate or lynch them?
My ancestral Jewish spidey sense tingled as I looked at the three names that were crossed out, but still legible. It is reported that their photos, social media and home addresses are already circulating in the violent-prone rage-o-sphere of White grievance that is MGA world. They have already been receiving threats from the most faithful, most angry, and most patriotic, of the cult of Chrump. Heaven help this country.
Just because it’s a complete lie and could easily lead a maniac to commit a despicable act against a sitting federal officer, that doesn’t mean that it’s not completely protected by a political candidate’sabsolute right to absolute freedom of speech, no matter what!
You’ve got to hand it to these Nazi motherfuckers, they know how to hammer on the same infuriating lies over and over and over. They’re masters of projection and persuasive reframing for their faithful flock, unless you spend a few minutes doing research of any kind. Three quarters of a billion dollars to settle a defamation suit is not going to cause Murdoch to take his beady eye off the bigger picture: serving up scandalous poison to keep their angry demographic enraged, his political influence hissing full blast and his ad coffers full.
Earlier today I watched a short FOX clip of the woman who took “RINO” Liz Cheney’s seat in Congress. What she said was directly counterfactual, and triggered this libtard, because it was such a brazen pile of shit, but I’ve since forgotten the details of her ridiculous claims (may have been that a candidate’s freedom of speech is unregulatable and threats are protected as merely “aspirational”– though that talking point may have been from Chrump’s latest legal genius). She pointed out that she’s a lawyer and that she knows the law and therefore she’s right. The interviewer was impressed. Convincing stuff.
I know from battling with narcissists, those who can never be wrong no matter what and will resort to the violence needed to “win” a conflict, that the actual story, what really took place, is meaningless. The only thing is to get the death blow in, the emotionally resonant, irrefutable pre-emptive heart rending narrative that wins the fight forever. Once they’ve convinced their marks, nothing you can say will change anyone’s heart or mind.
It’s hard to get one’s brain around that, but I have found it is always the case. Logic, reason, common sense, calmness, patience, gentle persuasion — all the useless tools of helpless nice guy losers in a war where the other tribe fights to the death, on pain of humiliation. Desperate narcissists, grimly determined, are capable of any violence necessary for victory, if all else fails.
That said, here’s Lyin’ Ted Cruz from an interview with a supremely supportive Maria Bartoromo, who emits an enthusiastic “wow!” here and there throughout Ted’s talk. Here is some of what Lyin’ Ted told FOX/MAGA nation Sunday morning:
The Hunter Biden special prosecutor who Merrick Garland appointed, after MAGA demanded it, is a puppet installed by Democrats to cover up for the Bidens. After a Chrump-appointed judge, egged on by briefs from MAGA lawmakers and MAGA think tank geniuses, blew up the deal Hunter Biden made with David Weiss, who has been investigating him for five years — Garland corruptly appointed a Biden puppet engaged in a coverup. David Weiss, Lyin’ Ted insists, has been covering up for Biden for five years, since Chrump appointed him US attorney and AG Barr assigned him to the Hunter Biden caper. The proof is that two Democratic senators from Delaware somehow corruptly made sure David Weiss got the job, according to Lyin’ Ted. Apparently Barr didn’t appoint him, Chrump had nothing to do with it, five years ago these two Democrat [sic] cronies of Joe Biden managed to have this puppet appointed to investigate and cover up for the criminal Biden and his son.
Lyin’ Ted praised the great job Jim Jordan and James Comer have done in uncovering irrefutable proof of Biden’s crimes. Here he goes:
We need to pause and look at what the House has uncovered. James Comer has released bank records that show that the Biden Family and their associates have received over 20 million dollars from Russia, Ukraine and Kazahkstan while Joe Biden was vice president. (“wow!”) Lots of Democrats in defending Biden, they keep using reference to ‘influence peddling’ or access, that’s not what these allegations are . . . the allegations are that Hunter was selling official favors from daddy while he was Vice President of the United States. If you look at the FD-1023 the allegation there is the oligarch who owned Burisma spent ten million dollars, five million to Joe Biden, five million to Hunter Biden in exchange for Joe Biden getting to fire the prosecutor who was prosecuting that corrupt oligarch. We know the second part of the quid pro quo happened, Biden has admitted that he got that prosecutor fired.
After these horrific “revelations” Maria breathlessly asked Lyin’ Ted if he supported an Impeachment Inquiry. “Absolutely, yes.” Three in fact:
Alejandro Mayorkas, for an “unprecedented humanitarian crisis at our southern border” (They don’t call this whining twat Lyin’ Ted for nothin’!)
Merrick Garland “for being brazenly lawless, committing perjury and obstruction of justice.”
Joe Biden for bribery. Bribery is specifically enumerated in the Constitution as a grounds for impeachment, the scholarly Lyin’ Ted points out. There was a quid pro quo, he concludes. “We know the quo, Biden bragged that he held hostage over one billion dollars in loan guarantees to Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating the oligarch who owned Burisma.”
No worries for Lyin’ Ted or FOX about being sued by the weak Democrats for defamation, the damning proof of Biden’s crimes, Merrick Garland’s crimes, Mayorkas’s crimes speak for themselves! Now, back to the megachurch with y’all, ya bunch of ignorant assholes.
For President Biden, a Political Liability That May Not Go Away Soon
The collapse of a plea deal and the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden mean the president could face political fallout for months to come.
What the fuck? The New York Times leads with four variations on this theme — the appointment of a special counsel, the same Chrump-appointed US attorney who negotiated the plea deal with Hunter Biden that was attacked over and over by Republicans who sent “friend of the court” briefs to the Crump-appointed federal judge who took the extraordinary step of voiding the agreement of the parties, rejecting Hunter Biden’s guilty plea to rarely charged misdemeanors.
Elected Republicans screamed bloody murder that Hunter Biden had received special treatment, a “sweetheart deal” somehow after his laptop and his dick pics, and his drug taking and his late payment of taxes and his job, making a lot of money capitalizing on his famous father’s name. In exchange for peace he pled guilty to a misdemeanor most people are not even charged with, late payment of income tax.
Then a Chrump appointed federal judge, egged on by Chrumpie’s myrmidons, threw out the agreement. The Chrump-appointed US attorney who was appointed special counsel has already written two letters to MAGA extremists in the House informing them that there was no fucking evidence of there there and that Garland had not interfered in any way in an investigation that lasted years longer than Mueller’s, even John Durham’s equally damning investigation.
So, of course, on a day that defendant Chrump got warned in federal court about posting things like “IF YOU COME AFTER ME, I’LL HAVE YOU ASPIRATIONALLY FUCKING KILLED” the New York Times leads with four articles about a political liability for Joe Biden that might not go away soon.
What the fuck? Seriously, Grey Lady, what the fucking fuck?
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is a “deranged” “psycho” and a “very sick man” (“did you see him in that purple robe?”) according to serialcriminal defendant Chrump. Smith, an insane and dangerous “lunatic” is leading yet another witch hunt against an innocent man, persecuted again for more perfect actions.
And now, a flashback for you, from right before his first impeachment for a perfect phone call (the record of which Barr innocently attempted to block the required release of) to legally blackmail new Ukraine president Zelensky, completely within the scope of the president’s official duties, for the televised announcement of a fake investigation into the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden:
Well, on the bright side, at least the giant, fucking baby’s not bitching about Rosie O’Donnell anymore.
