Jeez, just let the CHOP Art people have their event. Honestly, whatever you think of CHOP, or how it ended, celebrate the art. Or just let other people celebrate it. You actually have the ability to ignore it if you don’t like it.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now, and get vaccinated if you haven’t yet.

    This would be the Feds working for the Obama administration, back when everyone assumed #CrookedHillary would win.

    Feds subpoenaed Hunter Biden during 2016 election, raising worry over unpaid taxes on Ukraine work

    …the president’s youngest son has been worried about federal exposure on taxes since April 2016, long before Donald Trump was elected president or Biden’s Ukraine business dealings became the focus of scandal and an impeachment trial.

    Emails written five years ago by Eric Schwerin, an executive inside the Rosemont Seneca business empire where Hunter Biden worked, show there was about $1 million in personal income — about $400,000 in 2014 and $600,000 in 2015 — that the younger Biden had earned as a board member and consultant for Burisma that had not been fully covered by U.S. tax payments.
    …
    The conversations were prompted by a subpoena to Hunter Biden from federal authorities a few weeks earlier, the emails show. “I received a SEC subpoena for any information I have related to the situation Devin [sic] is dealing with,” Hunter Biden wrote a lawyer and Schwerin on March 23, 2016.
    …
    Beyond providing potential insights into why the FBI may have opened a criminal probe into Hunter Biden, the newly recovered emails also undercut a key Democratic talking point justifying Trump’s impeachment in fall 2019 and his early 2020 Senate trial, where the president was acquitted.

    Biden didn’t choose not to run in 2016 because the good son died. Biden chose not to run in 2016 because it’s very likely that Hillary had the dirt on POS Hunter Biden.

    Media Matters is forced to retract a story. In less than 8 1/2 hours.

    Story retracted
    WRITTEN BY ERIC HANANOKI

    PUBLISHED 06/08/21 11:10 AM EDT

    UPDATED 06/08/21 7:30 PM EDT

    Editor’s note (6/8/21): Earlier today, Media Matters published a story stating that Texas state Sen. Bob Hall had “appeared on the program of a white nationalist, pro-Hitler outlet that denies the Holocaust.” After publication, we were made aware that the program in question — The Barnes Review History Hour (TBR History Hour) — had faked the interview, falsely claiming they had interviewed Hall by splicing in previous interviews Hall had given to other outlets and making it seem like he was responding to questions from TBR. We have pulled the story and apologize for the error.

    #CrookedHillary

    The dumbfuck traitor’s pro-Putin hashtag # 7,009 and still no crime.

    Oh, well. As we all know, dumbfucks gotta dumbfuck, and the dumbfuck traitor never disappoints.

  6. 6

    We have pulled the story and apologize for the error.

    Now do OAN, Newsmax and Fox News.

    Oh, wait, they lie their asses off all day, every day, and never retract a damned thing. That’s how they and dumbfucks like the traitor roll.

    Steve Bannon, closet progressive.

    Steve Bannon Demands Higher Taxes on the Rich: ‘You’re Being Scammed’ (Newsweek)

    Hey, it would explain all the spending during the Trump years. Plus, Trump himself used to be a Dem.

    @1 the greedy racist incel, like all Republicans these days, is projecting his sins onto others, since his parents had their life ruined when their good son died.

  9. 9

    Kamala Harris makes Hillary Clinton seem likable by comparison.

    The traitor Doctor Dumbfuck makes Look on the Bright Side seem intelligent by comparison.

    I’m now believing the traitor Doctor Dumbfuck grows more stupid and treasonous with each pro-Putin hashtag.

  13. 13

    @5. Translation of the greedy racist incel’s fears. Kamala Harris is even more powerful and she’s black

  15. 15

    I agree. Traitors should be executed. Let’s start with the traitor Doctor Dumbfuck. I’ve got the rope!

    ‘Traitors Need To Be Executed’: ‘Stop The Steal’ Organizer Indicted In Jan. 6 Conspiracy Case

    “Some people, at the highest levels, need to be made an example of: an execution or two or three,” Hostetter told his audience. “Tyrants and traitors need to be executed as an example so nobody pulls this shit again.”

    But rather than a scaffold, I think we should use the horse, wild west style. After all that it’s been through, I’m pretty sure the poor thing would get a kick out of it. Such sweet revenge!

    The video is only seven seconds, but it’s funny as hell in the context of her incompetence as VEEP. Not to mention her cowardly withdrawal from the primary contest.

    Why are folks shocked that the person who bragged about being a “top tier candidate” right before tanking in the polls is now not doing well with media appearances?

    I’d have just called him a stupid dumbfuck. Why? Because he’s the traitor, not us.

    Doubling the Civil Rights Division head count at the same time you announce a nationwide investigation into discriminatory voting practices by the states.

    Consider how much majorities matter at a time like this.

    Without a Senate majority Biden would not have an AG.
    And without a House majority they’d be on round two of some kind of “Laptopgate” impeachment hearings.

    The solution to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema is to add two more Democrats to the Senate. It’s not easy. But given the stance and behavior of Republicans in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin it ought to be achievable given all Democrats learned in Georgia.

    The greedy racist incel cites a tweet from Abigail Marone, press secretary for Josh Hawley
    File where appropriate.

    @11. Fiction is not true but it tells truths.
    What I learned from Chicago, is that people can hate each other’s guts but work with each other for successful outcomes.

    The head of the Democrat Party turning up the rhetoric against one of its own with a 50/50 Senate.

    Implying that a senator of your own party hates America is not going to persuade anyone to believe anything other than that you are weak and you are flailing. Especially if you are the DNC chairman.

    What an idiot.

    FDA approval was a precondition before it could be prescribed for the president.

    Bonzo’s been dead a long time dimfuk. I guess that drug woulda been a slightly better therapeutic than Nancy’s astrologer.

    Implying that a senator of your own party hates America is not going to persuade anyone

    Heh. Mitt Romney(!), Ben Sasse, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney know the feeling well.

    Funny that 74 million Americans confuse a twice impeached failed preznit, pathological liar, serial sex assaulter and con-man with America.

    This country is in a bad place.

    So…

    …”Trump as Commander-in-Chief failed entirely to take any steps to protect the U.S. from an attack by a Chinese lab-made bio-weapon”?

    Cool.
    Way to take one for the team. Now all Republicans have to do is run on it.

    @27 Tom Cotton stands ready.. Iron Fist Hawley is surely mulling it over..

    Plays well with their voters.

    23,
    You only get the scenario you think you can get if the Senate Majority Leader takes meaningful steps against Manchin. Like stripping him of his committees. That’s the only way Moscow Mitch gains bargaining leverage. Manchin can’t change parties unless doing so gains him something.

    Meanwhile Joe can continue to “identify” as “bipartisan”. But if doing so results in him demonstrating the total failure of “bipartisanship” then he has no more room to move in that direction. So the criticism has purpose. You’re just too dumb to get it.

    Plays well with their voters.

    The Venn diagram of likely Republican primary voters who hate communism and feel betrayed by Trump…

    …and who are not yet under indictment in the Jan 6 terror attack.

    Even bigger tent.

    Somewhere over the Atlantic in an Embraer Praetor Eric Cantor smiles.

    This. is. CNN.

    The vice president has never been particularly adept when confronted with questions that she doesn’t like or doesn’t want to answer — as she demonstrated during 2020 primaries, when she repeatedly dodged and fumbled questions about her health care plan.
    …
    It was a clumsy answer that came off as tone-deaf given that the situation at the US-Mexico border is one of the most troubling issues facing the administration. Finding a solution for stemming migration from Central America is a problem that has eluded multiple administrations for decades, but even some White House officials — who want her to succeed in this difficult endeavor — were perplexed.

    Embarrassed is a more accurate description. She was ol’ Joe’s choice. After Jill said @ 11 that Kamala could go fuck herself.

    Her shaky handling of the politics around the immigration issue drew new questions about her political dexterity both as vice president and as a future aspirant for the White House, because the trip this week was her first test at the highest levels of statecraft.

    She’s incompetent. Willie Brown gave her one too many jobs she didn’t deserve, and here we are.

    First! Woman! President! Jill Biden is attempting to ensure that the best shot the Democrats have to elect the first woman president is…

    Jill Biden.

    No one treats a woman more viciously than another woman.

    @ 29

    You only get the scenario you think you can get if the Senate Majority Leader takes meaningful steps against Manchin.

    Er, I’m getting the scenario I prefer now. Prior to the 2022 midterms I don’t need anything else.

    The resistance that Manchin and Sinema show enables other Democrat senators to remain silent and avoid being targeted by their own party. If the former two go wobbly others will have to step up.

    Like, say, Feinstein. Say, didn’t Schumer strip her of a committee chairmanship for being too collegial with a gay dude? I believe he did.

    Willie Brown gave her one too many jobs she didn’t deserve, and here we are.

    What can of Russian beer do you think Palin is guzzling tonight!?

  38. 38

    Er, I’m getting the scenario I prefer now.

    Loss of WH, Senate and House. Three SCOTUS picks that keep betraying the dumbfuck traitor and his raging orange man-baby. Tax returns. Ouch!

    That’s one hell of a scenario.

    Nevada – first presidential primary state….before Iowa and New Hampshire.

    Hmmm

    Thanks Steve….I’ll root for the Mariners, just for you, quitely. Actually a freind and a neighbor is from Seattle….so I’m bringing him along, I’ll let him root for the Mariners….so that I don’t get shit thrown at me.

  44. 44

    @43 that’s the basis of Repukes saying that there’s a pizza joint in a dungeon. They invented it and tried to cover it under the guise of Democrats. Slippery slimy mother fuckers.

  45. 45

    @1 Weren’t you the troll who claimed the 2016 Democratic nom was rigged in Hillary’s favor? Has that story changed?

    I guess if something doesn’t stick you keep pitching spaghetti at the wall until something does.

  47. 47

    @3 Barnes Review. Huh. Rightwing rag that draws its inspiration from a Holocaust denier and discredited “historian.” What do you expect …

  48. 48

    @12 Republicans have known all along there’s voter fraud. After all, they commit it.

    I wonder what happened to that Florida attorney who told the attendees at a GOP meeting to register to vote in the Georgia Senate elections at his brother’s place in Georgia?

  49. 49

    @15 A Chicago cop was arrested today for treason and sedition, although he’s only formally charged with unlawful entry and trespassing.

    @40 The racist, it appears, is lucky to be alive.

    “The husband said he pulled a handgun to protect himself as Anton approached, and a bystander separated the two men.”

    Asians are arming! Maybe shooting a few racists would give the rest pause about thumping on them.

  53. 53

    Are asians Considered white enough to shoot white texan men in self defense and not go to jail?
