The grift in this administration is egregious but any day now I expect the GOP Congress will reopen an investigation into Hunter Biden.
The body language and facial expression say it all. How we're all feeling. I hope this photo makes it into history and sociology books. Standing up to disinformation, lies and tyranny of the minority.
Interesting. Gonna try that one.
Same. 😱😔😂
Love it.
Voted Yes. Ironically, this is more important for rural Virginia. They have suffered much more under the GOP supported Trump policies. Now they have unaffordable healthcare/fertilizer/food/diesel/gas and have lost markets for their crops from trade wars. Well heeled NoVa has suffered little.
The grift is egregious and the GOP Congress does nothing about it. But......Hunter Biden's laptop, Hunter Biden sold a painting. So wrong.
Russia and China already are. Trump has dug a huge hole that all of us are stuck in now. No winning here.
Meanwhile Mike Lawler is on TV telling everyone he thinks this is all going well.
TMI, but same. LOL.
You are an angel Niall. No doubt about it.
The deepest saddest irony is that well heeled blue NoVa has suffered the least under 2025-26 Trump policies that GOP Va reps support because they have to. Rural voters lost the most...loss of healthcare facilities, unaffordable food/gas/diesel/fertilizer/healthcare & loss of markets for crops.
Agreed. I stopped watching after that. He (along with everyone else) knows Trump lost in 2020. He also knows he would not be the nominee if he said that out loud. If he is willing to compromise truth on this, what else would he do at Trump's bidding whether it was the right thing or not?Indefensible
Done
Yes. He must dodge it because that is a requirement to be Trump's nominee. It certainly calls into question what else he would be willing to do because Trump required it, whether it was good for the rest of the country or not. Head of the Fed cannot have this question open.

If I were a betting person, I would bet that he will drop this before discovery. I'm sure he's hoping for a settlement before that as it seems like most of the administration is in this for the grift. Probably not going get anything in this case. Hopefully.
Americans have dealt with a firehose of false information. Now it's harmed and even killed children. Is the anti-vax disinformation crowd losing it's grip on Americans. Let's hope. Gift link good for 7 days. Please share if you like. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

He was replaced as ATF director, I think he's still head of the FBI, but give it a minute.

Loved this. Don't care if it's true, embellished or whatever. Literally made me laugh out loud and goodness knows we can all use that.
