This isn’t getting the media play it should: Hunter Biden said he’d testify in the House GOP “investigation” of his business dealings, but only if the session were open to the media. The Republican response: They shit themselves with fear and explained that they won’t do that, because they’ve already admitted that the sole purpose of their sham probe is smearing Joe Biden. They have no evidence, so they hold closed-door hearings, then lie to the media about what was said behind closed doors. Instead of telling the public about this, the media would rather direct your attention and hate towards pro-Palestinian college students.
Some rich Republicans seem to think that they can just move past Trump, forget the whole thing happened, and impose their minority view on the rest of the country just by finding a somewhat smaller asshole than Trump. Their latest standard-bearer is former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, who the Koch network chose as the recipient of $70 million in campaign cash. I’m curious about this: How many generations removed from immigrant parents does a person have to be to avoid Republican condemnation as an immigrant? And how much will those rich fucks miss that $70 million? Because Haley trails Trump by more than 30 points in her home state.
The never-Trumpers’ problem is that Trump remains the leader of the cult, and lots of rich people are still in thrall. At least one billionaire – Bernie Marcus, the shitstain who co-founded Home Depot – says if Trump’s convicted he’ll still fund his campaign. Which is why I haven’t bought anything at Home Depot in decades.
Worried that America’s politics is dominated by a few reactionary billionaires? Fear not. Lots of Republican House members are getting their money from shell companies backed by Putin-stooge Russian oligarchs. MAGA Mike Johnson is a prime example. So see? It’s not just American billionaires poisoning our politics, it’s foreign ones as well. Thanks to our on-the-take Supreme Court, it’s gonna stay that way, too.
Oh, and this just in: Elon Musk has endorsed the Pizzagate conspiracy. Quick, fanbois, tell me again what a genius he is, you gullible saps.
The floor’s yours.
