From Heather Cox Richardson:
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).
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, 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’s absolute right to absolute freedom of speech, no matter what!
Fuck that fucking orange puto. Lock him up.
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?
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.
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.
