The hypocrisy of this is staggering. we watched Trump for 4 years charge the secret service outrageous amounts to stay at his properties not to mention his daughter getting Chinese patents, etc... and now all these complicit GOP fucks are clutching their pearls because Joe may have helped Hunter, not a civil servant, based on the testimony of a convicted felon.

It was already out there that Joe talked to him, but all indications were it was friendly nice to meet you stuff. No business deals discussed. Democrats at the meeting want the transcript of the meeting because it shows. Republicans just want to say he's corrupt because he was talking a corrupt businessman. If they ever did up email or phone conversations that show otherwise they have absolutely nothing on him

It may well be no business deals discussed but I can easily see Joe being aware of the players in the room, the reason for the meeting, and Hunter prepping him with some key details & stuff to say or not to say (normal stuff in any big meeting). I'd be surprised if there are actual transcripts but an email summary/recap is probably more likely. Yes, I'd like to see those come out if not already. |

Joe should get a handle on this. I assume Adams went so public because things weren't getting done through regular channels. I don't know why Joe isn't helping, I think its reasonable for NY to get more $.

Posting this not for the content but more for the fact that it just struck me watching this that it's been 2.5 years since this video but Mitch has aged about 20 years. Wow.

Mitch - 81
Bernie - 81 Joe - 80 Trump - 77 I have to believe all of them are experiencing some level of cognitive decline. The question is how significant/quickly for each. Maybe Mitch drew the short straw. Quote:

Eric Adam's is great. He just complains about how shitty his city is and wonders if there is anyone in charge of that city who might be able to help.

I guess it's been reported that Feinstein's daughter has power of attorney over her. Not sure there is any precedent for that in the Senate but not very encouraging to have a United States Senator who can't make decisions for herself.

Probably a stupid question, but is the daughter allowed to vote in the Senate in her mother's name? Assuming the report is true.

Everybody over sixty should have a trusted child with power of attorney. It's a guard against chaos if a sudden illness or injury occurs. I've always heard it recommended as you get older.

In just over two years, credit card debt has increased from 770B to break the 1 trillion mark for the first time. I'd say that's an unsustainable problem.

There's a huge difference between national debt and consumer debt. I would say both are bad in general, but the consequences of them are not the same.

Why hadn't that been done? They drag this stuff out forever, and this is going to be right in the middle of the election season. Jack Smith and David Weiss should have gotten these appointments 2-3 years ago. None of this stuff just happened yesterday.

So Hunter offered up access for 5M, while his dad was VP, but his dad had nothing to do with it. And that alone is impeachable for Joe.
But, Kushner, who was actually working in the WH, was the main point of contact for the ME and Saudi's and had a direct line to the president, gets 2B directly from the Saudi's and they bought his albatross of a building and Kushner PROFITED while he worked in the WH, but he's now out of office, so it's all ok? Like he doesn't have any sort of connections or contact anymore? Really? That's the line of demarcation?

Re: dragging it out For the trial, I'm going to guess the "deal" that blew up was the reason why not earlier. Probably took a while to agree to and then the judge had some questions, and the attorneys didn't seem to be initially aligned. BTW how the heck does something like below happen? Isn't it all written down and all the important questions asked & answered? Quote:
I really don't know if it was a sweetheart deal. I read some that said yes, I read some that said no (so no surprise there wasn't a consensus). But I am glad it's going to trial and see it play out. The special prosecutor thing was apparently a surprise and quick. Weiss asked on Tue and Garland okayed today. I do wonder if there was some "new evidence" that escalated his role ... dunno. Looks like 2024 is going to be full of Trump/Hunter trial stuff. |

Josh Marshall has a good thread on how the legal system is tilted towards GOP expectations. On the one hand a Dem admin investigates and will take Hunter to trial. On the other, everyone just assumes Trump will end all investigations if he wins.
