Joe Smith said...: The UK 'Daily Mail' is all over the Hunter Biden story.

Other than Tucker Carlson, there isn't a peep from US media.

Just for fun I went to cnn.com and searched for 'hunter biden.'

The first 'story' to show up was about his wife and their finances that was from almost a month ago.

Unbelievable.; 7/11/22, 8:25 PM

Beasts of England said...: Joe’s cratering approval with Hispanics has been resurrected today, as Jill compared them to breakfast tacos. I am not making this up. And, keeping with an earlier theme: I hope I can stop laughing long enough to fall asleep…; 7/11/22, 9:17 PM

Andrew said...: Today, in an unexpected event, Matt Walsh and J.K. Rowling connected on Twitter. It was somewhat confrontational, but Rowling complimented Walsh for his movie What is a Woman? Strange bedfellows. I hope that this kind of thing happens more often, as the world goes increasingly insane.; 7/11/22, 9:33 PM

wildswan said...: In the Ukraine the long awaited HIMARS system has arrived. Russia has been massacring the Ukrainians with long range artillery out of reach of the Ukrainian artillery. Russia would bomb and shell and shell and bomb in the Ukraine's industrial region and when nothing was left of the objective or the soldiers defending it, then Russia would send in its troops. These are young conscripts, older men often in their fifties and sixties responding to bounty offers, and criminals released from jails. They are capable of holding the obliterated lines. But now the Ukrainians have a US system called HIMARS - something about high altitude and rockets. It's precision and it's being fired at Russian ammunition dumps. They are blowing up in part of occupied Ukraine near Odessa and the Crimea. The next move is either the Ukrainians get more HIMARS and end the war or the Russians bomb or capture the weapon. (It's moveable but so are Russian jets and Speznatz.) Meanwhile Russia may turn off the gas in Germany as a coercive measure as the Germans were warned would happen if they relied on the Nordstream pipeline. But Biden will not turn on the gas in the US.

gpm said...: In a recent thread, Howard posted this comment:

>>That's why I come here to glean information about deplorables so when I'm having political conversations with my friends who generally agree with me I can tell them what the animals in the zoo are doing.

The comment is consistent with pretty much everything Howard’s ever said here when he's being an asshole.

If I were not always late to the party, I would respond to every obnoxious post by Howard by just quoting that comment and would otherwise refuse to engage with any of his posts, whether obnoxious or not. Why should anyone want to engage with an obnoxious asshole who calls you a “deplorable” and an “animal[] in the zoo”?

I invite everyone here who, unlike me, isn’t always late to the party, to do the same. Why give any validation or acceptance to someone who is admittedly posting in what, even to the extent he is not insulting you to your face, is clearly acting in, oh, I don’t know, bad faith?

An alternative, I guess, would just be to post the comment above in response to every one of Howard’s comments, to show he is admittedly acting in bad faith.

Jill Biden!

"You are unique as a breakfast taco."

She was speaking at the National Council of La Raza.

No, wait, sorry.

Dr. Jill Biden!

I'm sure the fine folks at "the Race" were not offended at all by breakfast taco comparisons.

"Yes, that's right, you came here from your authentic homeland, and now you are a breakfast taco. No spice at all, and available at McDonald's. Vote for Joe. Hey, don't get mad! I said unique! Unique breakfast taco! Very special breakfast taco! I am the First Lady of the United States of America! And a doctor! No hablo! No hablo!"; 7/11/22, 11:42 PM
Saint Croix said...: I remember when Donald Trump ate a taco bowl on Cinco de Mayo.

I call him Little Baby Satan in that thread. (Oops).

Anyway, who loves Hispanics?

Donald Trump: "I love Hispanics."

Dr. Jill Biden: "You are a unique breakfast taco."

It just kills me. I've been laughing at Joe Biden for so long. And his wife is just as bad!; 7/11/22, 11:52 PM

In the hunt for deleted files from Hunter Biden’s laptop. There may be more coming.; 7/12/22, 12:06 AM
Saint Croix said...: So the weirdest part of the alleged hack of Hunter Biden's iCloud account is how Google is acting.

Google "Pedo Peter" and see what you get.

Even left-wing media is covering this now(!)

Newsweek.; 7/12/22, 12:24 AM
Saint Croix said...: Google search results might embarrass Biden?

Warning message!

What about search results that might embarrass pro-lifers?

10 year old has abortion.

No warning message.

So I guess Joe Biden is a credible source, huh?; 7/12/22, 12:34 AM
Saint Croix said...: Warning message on "Hunter Biden iCloud hack" has disappeared. Maybe because NBC is looking into it now?.

Also, I'm not a techie, but there's no fucking way Google's software made the determination that "Pedo Peter" needs a warning message.

That "warning label" was made by people at Google.

Amazing to me that they would fuck with their brand in such a fashion.; 7/12/22, 12:35 AM
Saint Croix said...: Never heard of the Daily Dot but that's a very basic news story describing what happened.; 7/12/22, 12:49 AM
Saint Croix said...: Warning message on "Pedo Pete" has now been scrubbed.

So strange!; 7/12/22, 12:57 AM
Saint Croix said...: I didn't actually know that the U.S. Attorney for Delaware is investigating Hunter Biden for tax fraud.

When Joe Biden asked all of Trump's U.S. attorneys to resign, there was one he did not ask -- the U.S. Attorney for Delaware.

David Weiss is described as a "straight shooter" and "not a Trumper." Nor is he close to Biden. He's a registered Republican.

Investigation started in 2018.

They are taking their sweet time, I guess. Biden's brother James is involved in this, too.

CBS News has also learned more than 150 financial transactions involving either Hunter or James Biden's global business affairs were flagged as concerning by U.S. banks for further review.

Wow, I didn't know that.

A 2019 federal subpoena obtained by CBS News shows the criminal probe in Delaware has sought Hunter and James Bidens' bank records dating back to 2014, when Joe Biden was vice president.

That was three years ago.; 7/12/22, 1:40 AM
Saint Croix said...: Pretty good article at Vice with details of the hack.; 7/12/22, 1:48 AM
Saint Croix said...: It's so weird, when you're being investigated for crimes, to make selfies of yourself committing crimes. Incredibly stupid.

Even if we were to excuse it because he was drugged up at the time, what about when you sober up?

Why would you keep criminal evidence on your phone while your father is President of the United States?

It's already been reported in the media, and your reputation is already awful.

And you still keep evidence of crimes on your phone? Why would anybody do that?

Addiction is a bitch and can be tough for anyone to break. But he's consciously (and soberly) made a decision to keep a record of all his crimes on his phone.

I would tentatively suggest that he's got a hostility to his father. I know he hates his step-mother. And obviously has a self-destructive streak. But it's like he wants to destroy his father, too.

I think you could probably make a pretty dark movie with characters based on the Bidens.; 7/12/22, 3:00 AM

WHERE the HELL are the police or the FBI?? If you don't think Trump supporters would be treated differently if THEY were protesting in front of a Progressive home like this, YOU are a fool.

Saint Croix said...: I like Tucker but his theory that China intentionally released COVID-19 from their lab is stupid.

Obviously it was an accidental lab leak, and the government has been covering it up.

Why would the Chinese government intentionally poison Wuhan, for fuck's sake.

"First we poison ourselves, then we poison you!" That's a bad Chinese cookie right there.

Repeat after me, Tucker: It was an accidental lab-leak, and the government is covering it up.. That's scandalous enough. And it has the added benefit of being highly likely.; 7/12/22, 8:42 AM
Narr said...: Agree with Saint Croix about the lab leak and cover-up. Tucker often goes a step or two farther than the evidence (or his understanding) allows. But that's better than his competition, who aren't even on the right track anymore, or long since.; 7/12/22, 10:32 AM
Drago said...: Saint Croix: "I like Tucker but his theory that China intentionally released COVID-19 from their lab is stupid."

No, it's not.

Saint Croix: "Obviously it was an accidental lab leak, and the government has been covering it up."

"Accidental"? No evidence in support of that assertion. "Covering up"? Duh. Commie government.

Saint Croix: "Why would the Chinese government intentionally poison Wuhan, for fuck's sake.

"First we poison ourselves, then we poison you!" That's a bad Chinese cookie right there."

Commenter Saint Croix argues the govt that murdered 60 million of its own people in its Great Leap Forward (that's lefty "Forward" which is always societally backward), routinely boards up and imprisons entire cities of its own citizens, operates large scale concentration camps housing millions of its internal "deplorables" and whose military general staff claimed for 50 years that China could lose 3/4 of its population and still have a viable civilization, THAT govt, THAT one, would never dream of unleashing a virus on portions of its own population if it crushed western societies more.

Well, I think the ChiComs, the bestest allies and benefactors of democraticals and NeverTrumpers, would most certainly dream of such a solution to their Trump "problem" and help return the US back into the hands of those already bought off politicians.

And they wouldn't lose a single minute of sleep over it.; 7/12/22, 3:19 PM
Drago said...: Saint Croix: "I didn't actually know that the U.S. Attorney for Delaware is investigating Hunter Biden for tax fraud."

If the US Attorney for Delaware is investigating Hunter Biden for tax fraud, it is for the sole purpose of figuring out how much incriminating evidence exists and then burying that evidence so deep it never sees the light of day.; 7/12/22, 3:21 PM
