No marketable skills

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!

USA! USA!!!

Under Georgia Law

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.

Aspirational freedom of speech and the second amendment

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’s absolute right to absolute freedom of speech, no matter what!

Fuck that fucking orange puto. Lock him up.

Today on FOX (“fair and balanced” TM)

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.”

source for Lyin’ Ted quotes

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.

Orange Polyp — one trick dickhead

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is a “deranged” “psycho” and a “very sick man” (“did you see him in that purple robe?”) according to serial criminal 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.

Common sense about protective orders against a very stable genius being unfairly persecuted by vicious Marxists!

Let’s be honest, if Donald Chrump is not allowed to lie, incite hatred, suspicion and actual violence against his critics, former sychophants, political and personal opponents, witnesses, judges, prosecutors, jurors and so forth, his presidential juggernaut would grind to a halt. All he has is rage, promises of retribution, fantasies of political and personal persecution, vows of terrible revenge, threats of murderous violence and millions of angry, screwed, hopeless people, some of whom will eventually arm themselves and take murderous action.

So, in a real sense, Chrump’s objection to protective orders in the two federal criminal cases against him — politically motivated, partisan, election interference intending witch hunts! — is merely self-preservation. Not only from accountability for crimes he appears very likely to have committed (his lawyers are complaining about the mountains of evidence they have to review, several YEARS’ work!) but quite possibly his freedom.

If he is not the Republican candidate in 2024, and cannot once again claim massive fraud that again deprived him of his rightful victory, he is screwed (actually, he’d be screwed if he lost again). Other Republicans will abandon him during the primaries if he somehow falls in the polls, if his 37% diehard support in the party is defeated by the other 63% of Republicans. The other candidates may even find the spine not to sign a pledge to pardon him and all of his many co-conspirators (and every convicted January 6 rioter who sings in Chrump’s rally chorus) in the event that any or all of these baseless witch hunts result in convictions. It appears likely that he will continue to be convicted of the various crimes, frauds and torts he has long been getting away with.

So you can’t really fault the Orange Turd for fighting like hell, he has to fight like hell or he’s not going to have a country any more, or even a country club. The poor fucker is fighting for all the marbles. His best hope is a wave of political assassinations by the most enraged and hopeless of his diehard followers. He’s doing his best to make it happen, hence his fight against protective orders in the federal trials he faces. How can you intimidate those evil, pedophile witnesses and jurors if you’re not even allowed to publish their names and home addresses? If the killing the insane bastard is praying for starts, heaven help us all.

Nazis demand the right to free speech

And under our constitution they have every right to promulgate their worldview. The Jews, using the Blacks, Muslims, Illegals, Aliens, Humanists, Cucks, Dupes, Idiots, Libtards, Feminazis, College Students, etc. are engaged in a titanic struggle for world dominion, Nazis have every right to insist.

Under our laws they may say this shit in speeches, publish it, do whatever they want, short of shouting it as they are actually lynching a Jew, or directly inciting a violent attack. They can even pass laws to promote this view, if they have supermajorities in power. There is no law against being a lying, vicious, racist, hateful piece of shit and Americans have every right to spew their opinions in public or private, no matter how hateful and demonstrably false the basis for those opinions may be.

It’s as if the Founders knew that opinions are like assholes, and just because someone never washes his, he retains the same right to vent his heartfelt feelings as any other asshole.

My hat is off to Jack Smith for conceding this in his DC indictment of Chrumpie and charging nothing implicating the inviolable freedom to be a lying sack of shit, eliminating the defense his lackeys are still shouting 24/7 over every available medium of mass influence. In the court of public opinion, facts take a back seat to emotion, particularly rage. Courts of law, for all their flaws, prohibit and can punish lying under oath and make their rulings based on the evidence and defense presented (well, not all courts, Aileen Cannon’s is a bit different.)

An interesting question arises when an incendiary lie is promulgated by a $50,000,000 advertising campaign, and spouted over and over, uncontradicted, in social media and mass media silos, as tens of millions of dollars are raised from those convinced that the lie is true, and the lie inflames a whipped up crowd to riot and disrupt the functioning of our democratic government.

None of this shit seems that complicated. One party, the MAGA party (the endgame of supremely entitled fascist billionaires like Charles Koch and the patrons of Ginni and Clarence “Black Klansman” Thomas) has the full-throated support of every member of every American hate group, and millions more besides. They howl about how they are persecuted, White Christians with no education are the most persecuted group in American history, and the “liberal media” routinely apologizes by treating their grievances as semi-legitimate. If anything, ignorant white pseudo-Christians are victims of the Chrumps of this world, they are being mind-raped by the powerful people who point to Jewish elites (Hollywood, Soros, Globalists, City Dwellers), Blacks, Mexicans, Ecuadorians, Venezuelans, Muslims, Cannibal Pedophiles, etc. as the ones buggering them out of their birthright.

Makes me want to holler. Watching fucking Chrump’s current lackeys on TV spouting baseless “defenses” and more informed former prosecutors seeming to agree that, even though the defense is advancing no legitimate defenses to the federal crimes Chrumpie is charged with, that the DOJ faces an uphill battle proving “intent”.

Like maybe it was purely chance, and possibly on shaky legal advice, that Chrumpie twisted arms, launched dozens of baseless lawsuits, repeatedly lied about the election results, orchestrated a plan to have fake, sworn electors in every state he lost, participated in a scheme to have his VP count the false electoral votes to keep him in the White House, lied in an official statement on the night of January fifth that Pence would do so, repeated countless, detailed, incendiary lies at a pre-riot rally in front of the White House, where he’d built the impregnable wall Mexico probably paid for, whipped up an angry, armed crowd and sent them to the Capitol to stiffen the spines of “weak” (law abiding) Republicans in Congress, watching the riot on tv and tweeting another provocation to an angry crowd that had erected a gallows and was already chanting “Hang Mike Pence!”

All pure opinion and nothing but First Amendment protected free speech! says MAGA world. Biden just irrationally hates Trump and wants to steal another election from him! And Biden is as insanely angry as these ungrateful, vicious black women who hate all white people FOR NO REASON (etc.) Might as well argue with an angry two year-old or a pile of shit as try to engage with any of this in an attempt at logical persuasion. Now we just have to try to tune out the noise and let the courts sort this out based on the evidence presented.

Does it suck that Nazis enjoy virtually unlimited free speech? Kind of, but that’s the price we pay for our own freedom of speech. Fuck those hateful putos.

It’s all perfectly normal, folks

An openly corrupt former president (“how can he be corrupt, he did it all openly and honestly?”) moves to have the judge overseeing his federal trial in D.C. removed. What are his grounds? Plenty. She’s a woman of color, they all hate Trump, the Black ones are particularly nasty. She’s a woman, and you know how disgusting they are and how many irrationally hate Trump. She was appointed by an illegitimate president who forced patriots to organize the Birther movement. Trump was a top Birther. Therefore, she’s prejudiced against the MAGA martyr. All of this, to a solid 30% of the country makes perfect sense. How can he get a fair trial from someone he didn’t appoint?

Meanwhile, Florida man DeathSantis removes a Black female state’s attorney (Florida’s only) who was elected with 66% of the vote. Presumably she was critical of the enraged little fascist puke. Perfectly normal for anyone with the power to crush an opponent to do so, no matter what the grounds. The new normal that the Koch network has been pushing for for decades.

Also in Florida, the judge appointed by Trump after he lost re-election, the one who was overruled by a conservative appeals court and found to have abused her discretion, and made fatal mistakes of law in her over-reach to help her boss, continues doing her inexperienced best to help her benefactor Trumpie. Serious prosecutors wait for another fatal abuse of discretion before raising a challenge about the conflict of interest and appearance of impropriety (abusing her discretion and violating the law to help the plaintiff in the legally incoherent Trump v US) Aileen Cannon has repeatedly shown. The conflict is between her sworn duty to uphold the law, and fairly apply legal rules to the proceeding, and her loyalty to the former president who demands special treatment. That this Federalist Society star is perhaps the most inexperienced judge on the federal bench, having done only four trials and making serious mistakes in at least one of them, has nothing to do with anything.

And all of this, you know, is as normal as a good old-fashioned American lynching.

Here is the great Vandana Shiva with a few words about our normal world, where it is fitting and proper for five individuals to have more wealth than 50% of humanity combined.
