I’m not sure what’s more infuriating, Republicans spreading lies like this based on flimsy, unsupported allegations time and time again, or the fact that when they are hit in the face with the truth like a giant key lime pie (Heartburn, anyone?), they simply ignore it and move onto the next lie. Nancy Mace, Comer, Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, the list goes on and on, all accepted as FACT that Joe Biden “took bribes.” They spread that bullshit all over the wingnutosphere. If it angers me this much, imagine how Joe and his administration must feel. These people in the maga wing of Congress are bad people who have no shame, dignity or respect for the truth.

I have a theory which I just made up, because I'm about to lose a friend I've known for 30 years over Trump. That theory is all of this shit is just being made up to give these people some reason to justify to themselves that they intend to vote to give Trump another four years, even though they know he shouldn't get it.

My friend - a fellow MIT alum - will not defend Trump, and has even admitted to me in the past that Trump's a disaster, but he will repeat every Trump/MAGA talking point about Biden and the Dems without question. He's just working up the rationale for pulling that lever.

I don't know where we go from here. I really don't.

I’m waiting for the GOP to attack the FBI, alleging this is PUNISHMENT for the “whistle blower” coming forward about Biden. Just Biden ordering this honest Good Samaritan be executed for exposing his YUGE bribes! If they haven’t yet, they will. And when he’s convicted, and it’s even more obvious the entire story was BS, the GOP will pretend they never knew her, don’t know her, never heard of her. Moving on to the next fake scandal. This is why we need truth in reporting/broadcasting standards. Say bad things about people at your own peril. If they are true, you are protected. If they are false, and you knew it or recklessly spread lies, pay up, fuckers.

In other news that FOX "news" is not reporting:

Defendant "Vermin" Trump still a proven fraud, insurgent and rapist.

If FOX "news" is not reporting that Comer has once again had any proof of President Biden doing anything wrong, doesn't that just prove President Biden is guilty is guilty?

You mean Fox News is just putting this in the memory hole? They're not going with the "persecution by the weaponized Biden DOJ" line?

Wusses.

The Republicans are just following Bush's dictum:

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

It is so exhausting to have to react again and again to both the original story, that we knew was bullshit, and the story that proves it was bullshit!! Of course, that's the plan...just as Steve Bannon commands! Flood the zone with shit and wear them down!! The transitive property of bullshit is boredom and we soon won't even have the energy to react. So, stay woke my friends, stay healthy and alert because the purveyors of bullshit never seem to tire of it...it's their drug of choice!!

I am guessing Comer et al. will explain how they didn't even NEED that FBI dude's story because they have SO MUCH other evidence of criming. You wouldn't believe how much criming evidence they have. So much! They will share it in a couple of weeks, or any day now, at the right time. Believe them.

There is a story about this lying liar in the NYTs, but it is below a story about somebody I never heard of, that is supposedly private citizen Hunter Biden's patron. The GOP want to investigate him now. So not only have the GOP not lost any credibility with the NYTs, but their latest gambit takes precedence over their failure. Also, too, why are we worrying about private citizen's rich friend and not Clarence Thomas's or Samuel Alito's?

Yo Merrick!

Now do that creepy fuck who stole Hunter Biden's laptop and sold it for parts! Especially the parts that were Hunter's BIG DICK!

Then go after anyone who bought and sold the stolen personal property of a white male US Citizen which Hunter is.

LOL truth doesn't matter because stenographers in the Republican-owned media just type whatever agitprop these fascists burp out. It's just like the whole "shoplifting crisis."

"If the media was worth a damn, this would dominate the news cycle for weeks"

LOL, it's ALREADY about 3 pages down from the top at cnn.com in like 12 point font. Somehow I suspect if Yakov was Proven Fucking Right™ it would be in about 64 point font front and center for weeks (then again in late-October). And/or both Bidens would already be in custody.

OK, so I Googled images for Jared Moskowitz, and he doesn't look ANYTHING like a Smurf in any way.

Was Comey trying to say "motherfucker" and missed, or what?
