i don't know. i remember my mom dumbing down some guy who said 'irregardless'. seems mean and pointless.

i've spent my life in shakespeare (the real on stage shit, not the academic crap). i'm happy to entertain the idea of 'irregardless'. english is a beautiful fluid thing. language rules should be reserved for the academie francaise.

we're always better than the french

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

Donald Trump in 2016: 'That stuff about me and a porn star is fake news!'

Only it was true.

Unless the Biden's do the same? Forget it.

So their point is that it's not obvious how Hunter et al earned their salaries/compensations, and therefore they couldn't have earned them legitimately, therefore nefarious treasonous quid pro quo?

Well, it's not obvious to me how Ron and Comer are earning their congressional salaries.

That's why even Murdoch outlets like the WSJ and Fox dropped the story. It made no sense.

It only worked with the Clintons because their main target was a woman AND the MSM still had a veneer of "nonpartisanship" - meaning the 3 networks could mainline Fox talking points after Rush and Drudge play the Wurlitzer to bring them into existence.

Now all of that is gone. Most of the stirrers are either getting a magma-tan or have been hit with defamation judgements in a US court. Fox may have dodged a trident missile with their massive settlement against Dominion, but they still have the Bombs of Damocles hovering overhead. So they have to skirt the lines even closer now.

Yeah, it's projection with the banana republicans. We all can see for ourselves whose family was criminal for personal financial and other gains.

Well, he did choose to spend July 4th in Moscow in 2018 along with some other GOPers.

I’m gonna infer an awful lot and claim that The Orange Moron is responsible for every bad thing that’s ever happened from the decline of the dinosaurs. Before that event I’m going to infer that his father was responsible. What’s this “proof” thing you keep going on about?
