Ok... fine.

The blind partisans are the ones trying to convince people that it’s somehow illegal or impeachable for your son to earn money in a foreign country.

And the blindest of all partisans are the ones who blithely overlook many of their leader's documented crimes and the stench of a $2B "investment" in said leader's SIL's new company 6 months after the leader left office.

Seriously. If you want people to take your complaints seriously, consistency is key.

When you're meeting with intel agents in the other country, setting up shell companies to wash and launder from four countries, and getting large checks for nothing in return and daddy is making decisions based on that money, that's FARA violations, tax violations and influence peddling.

If all of that is happening you’d think there’d be some evidence of it after a year-long House investigation. There isn’t. And you all clearly don’t know what FARA is.

There's evidence because he is being charged. And Daddy is up next. The walls are falling.

You have nothing. You can’t even describe it without 8 falsehoods in your paragraph.

He’s not being charged for anything close to what you nutballs are imagining happened.

Kind of like how Comer is actually a dirty politician.

And also kind of like how Comey released the news that Clinton was under investigation, but failed to mention that Trump was also under investigation for far more serious crimes.

And like how they’re all hopping mad that Hunter didn’t come to their little closed firing squad, though they felt empowered to share revenge porn and how Gym Jordan and several other elected Republicans ignored subpoenas.

Actually the more I think on it, the more evident the GOP’s hypocrisy is.

He’s standing outside saying “I’m here to go under oath as long as it’s public” and republicans are saying no. Because they know they’ll be embarrassed by their immature games.

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON (historian)

Today is one of those days when the main story is not what’s on the pages, but what the stories say when they are themselves seen as a pattern.

This morning the Associated Press ran a story by national political reporter Brian Slodysko titled “The Republican leading the probe of Hunter Biden has his own shell company and complicated friends.” It told the story of how Representative James Comer (R-KY), the chair of the House Oversight Committee, has a financial history that looks a great deal like that of which he accuses the Bidens, including a shell company that appears to ethics experts to have problematic connections to a campaign donor.

Comer is leading the House impeachment effort against President Joe Biden, an effort that Philip Bump of the Washington Post eviscerated today when he took apart Republicans’ accusations point by point. The Associated Press story is interesting not because it tells us something we don’t know—the story of Comer’s shell company is what led him to attack Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) as a “Smurf” last month—but because of how far and wide it spread.

By this evening, Slodysko’s story had been reprinted by ABC News, the Los Angeles Times, and a number of smaller outlets.

The strength of that story, after years in which the Republican narrative was largely unchallenged in popular political culture, reminds me of the rise of the so-called muckrakers of the Progressive Era. That is, journalists from the 1870s onward wrote a lot about the shift in power during the Gilded Age toward the very wealthy and the politicians they bought. But it was only in the 1890s that journalists, writing for magazines like the landmark publication McClure’s Magazine, began to gain traction as cultural leaders.

Key to that shift was the sense that those who had been directing the country for decades were vulnerable, that they might lose their perch on top of the political, social, and economic ladder.

The vulnerability of the dominance of today’s MAGA Republicans has been exposed in part by the fecklessness of House Republicans, whose lack of interest in governing is evident from their focus on passing bills loaded with extremist demands that signal to their base but are nonstarters for actually passing the Senate and getting the president’s signature. [u]Yesterday those same House Republicans voted unanimously to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden although they are unable to identify any reason for that inquiry. [/u]

The Larry, Moe, and Curly aspect of their leadership seems to have made them appear to be low-hanging fruit for investigative journalists. When Hunter Biden yesterday stood in front of the U.S. Capitol and called House Republicans out for not daring to let him testify in public while they were using their privileged positions to show naked pictures of him in a hearing, he did the same thing McClure’s writers did: he personalized politicians’ abuse of their power.

That, in turn, makes it easier for people who might not otherwise note the large swings of politics to understand exactly what the Republicans are doing.

The vulnerability of the MAGA Republicans showed up in another way, today, too. Today is the eleventh anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in which a 20-year-old murdered 20 children between the ages of six and seven years old, and six adult staff members. In that wake of that mass shooting, Americans demanded background checks for gun purchases, a policy supported by 90% of Americans. But the measure was killed in the Senate by lawmakers who represented just 38% of the American people.

Since then, Republicans have blocked legislation to regulate guns and have instead offered thoughts and prayers after each mass shooting.

No evidence to support impeachment of Biden unlike the 90 felony indictments against Trump who just accuses political rivals of actions akin to his own crimes - apparently like Rep Corner from Kentucky.

Wow, I bet this answer kills when you post it on your favorite right wing radio show’s facebook page! You must be so proud to feel like a king of the likes for three minutes even as you die slightly inside knowing that your retorts don’t make any sense, logistical or otherwise. I bet you screen shotted the likes, too.

Those things are a big who cares to you?

We should only care about or prosecute tax evaders or people who break our gun laws if they are running for president?

If one of Trump’s kids were in this situation, you would not care?

After all the crap Trump and his children have done ON the taxpayer dime, Biden Jr is small time.

And finally the admission that this is all just a partisan revenge game.

MAGA is going to be so upset when Hunter has more indictments than Trump. Wouldn't be surprised if Hunter ends up the GOP front-runner in 2028.
