Hunter Biden back in the news. I say back but mean finally. Now with Biden safely elected the press might start to cover this. One wonders if this story will used to remove ol' Sleepy Joe pretty soon.

Interesting. So according to that clip lots of black people think that white people are superior at a lot of things.

The Democrats are missing a golden opportunity to destroy the Republicans. Trump (supporters) is triggered right now and looking for someone to blame. Democrats should be pushing the narrative that moderate Republicans betrayed Trump and sit back and watch Trump destroy them. He's doing it in a dis...

We are each of us responsible for our own interpretations.

Still, nice deflection. Saves you having to think about the conflict of interest which is the real issue.

Was there any need to list him as black.

I merely picked up the last point Flyin' Ryan made. Was what he said racist? No it wasn't. This is bizarre.

Santa

This Royal Commission report is prompting some pretty odd responses. Are people seriously questioning why the security services were focused more on Islamic terrorism than white supremacist terrorism?

Kitteridge is clearly having to play politics with her statements.

In which Krystal goes to town on how shite CNN and MSNBC have been and are, and how dependent they are on Trump.

In addition to being black, Lloyd Austin is also on the board of Raytheon, which is one of the world's largest aerospace and defence manufacturers. No conflict of interest there.

Really good history clip here.

For example we know that black people were medieval knights because King Arthur fought the Black Knight.

He has no background in health management but on the upside he's an abortion enthusiast.

And another interesting one about how to negotiate a decision to prosecute Trump et al.

Tres difficultrement.

Santa

One interesting thing Barr has put in the appointment is a requirement for DUrham to produce a report that can be released to the public. The AG will still have discretion to withold it but that wwould be a difficult decision to defend given the last four years.

Nice little summary here of the Durham appointment.

Let's see if the Democrats change their arguments given the precedent they have set.

Santa

I suspect most peoples' decision would have been the same. The Governors made their own decisions and there is no reason to think that Trump affected that to any great degree. On the PPE procurement, well that was a shitshow everywhere in the whole world. Where was all this additional PPE going to c...

Santa

It's the same with Jacinda Ardern. How many lives were saved in NZ because she and not Simon Bridges was PM? We'll never know but I say none, because Bridges would probably have done the same things. If we take Biden at his word, for example, he would have had people out visiting China town in the e...

How dangerous was Trump the first time around?

Very dangerous, whether on law and order/democracy, the environment, the pandemic, trade... Can you please be a bit more specific. Honestly you're just rattling off ill-thought through nothing there.

The stats say prior to becoming president Trump and his businesses were involved in c. 3,500 federal and state legal cases; the 1900 as plaintiff. Trump is used to being in court.

Santa

Someone pointed out the other day that litigating like this is just what Trump does. It is what he has always done. This is just a smidge more public. There is no grand strategy. He just makes it up as he goes, throws a bunch of ideas out there and sees what, if anything, sticks. Either that or its ...

In truth this thread is about taking 3 data points and extrapolating to a systemic phenomenon. Good luck to it.

Interesting. Durham recommends jail time for Clinesmith.
