cult humor - If you wanted to see, you would not belong to a political party?

    My doctor did blood work on me yesterday and never saw blood like mine and called the CDC and Homeland Security, and I shape-shifted into a beautiful 30-year-old woman and walked out of there. Meanwhile, the problem with belonging to a cult is it is impossible to see what you most need to see: that you belong to a cult.

    In the wake of Donald The Thug's mug shot being strewn all over the news and social media...

BTW, according to faux news, Hunter is the main story

Not at all surprising and.. of course, not Germaine, If the Bidens are criminal, happy to convict, but doubt it.

I have an easy time believing that Hunter is a shady character. Not exactly news: Charlie Adams was a flaming dumpster of a presidential son, nobody blames John Adams for it.

Sloan Bashinsky

The problem is, how did Hunter end up making so much money without it being tied to his V.P. father, and then his President father? You think those foreign businesses would have anything to do with a sleaze addict like Hunter, if not for who his father was? Hello?

Rich

If this story is accurate, it is very disconcerting.

Hunter may not be the MAIN story, but this is certainly something that needs to be addressed.

The deflection of anything Hunter related “Because Trump”, is disingenuous, at best, and parochial politics which will enable all political elite to operate under a different set of laws than the average person.

Joe Biden's alias emails to son Hunter—Everything we know

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are seeking unrestricted access to emails from President Joe Biden's time as vice president where he used a pseudonym.

Representative James Comer, chair of the committee, sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on Thursday seeking a number of documents including used pseudonyms including Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware.

The move comes amid House Republicans' ongoing probe into the business dealings of the president's son, Hunter Biden, and GOP allegations that the president was involved in those dealings.

"Joe Biden has stated there was 'an absolute wall' between his family's foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family's influence peddling," Comer said in a statement on Thursday.

House Republicans are seeking documents and emails from Biden's time as vice president.

The White House has repeatedly denied that Biden had any involvement in Hunter Biden's business affairs and Republicans have struggled to produce a "smoking gun" tying the president to any wrongdoing.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House via email for comment.

Rich, Agreed, and ...How many times have I heard Republicans ignore Trump and say, "What about Hunter?", when, if they had a clue what their Bibles are about, they would be dispensing with Trump for their own souls' sakes. 

Rich 

Sloan, I agree completely. I hope to see Trump convicted AND charges brought against ALL politicians and bureaucrats who use their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the American public.

I’m quick to call out those that excuse illicit activity and dismiss that behavior because they identify with the actors political affiliation.

It seems a large number of Americans fit into that category.

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, including the current president re his son. No way Hunter made all that money in Ukraine, if his father wasn’t Obama’s V. P.

Paul

So Sloan, did it hurt when you hit your head?

Rich

Paul, Rather than use juvenile ad hominem attacks, why not give your opinion on what Hunter qualifications were to be on Burisma’s board, why Joe was using alias private email accounts to communicate with Hunters and his business associates, and who “The Big Guy” is that Hunter keep promising foreign nationals that he could provide access to?

Your wanting to sweep all of that under the rug and deflect attention away from it simply because they’re part of the Democratic Party is every bit as repugnant as the MAGA’s defense of Trump.

What you’re doing is exactly what these political elite are counting on to leverage so that they can get away with things that the average American would be convicted and sentenced for.

Does that fact completely escape you?

Rich

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to discuss anything about a cult with a member of the cult. The Republican and MAGA and Democrat Parties, Antifa, Proud Boys, QAnon really are no different from any other secular or religious cults.

I do not assume, and would be an idiot to assume, Trump and his cults are not using code.

QAnon Is Absolutely Melting Down Over Trump’s Mugshot and Return to Twitter

QAnon Is Absolutely Melting Down Over Trump’s Mugshot and Return to Twitter Trump's QAnon followers are convinced, again, that a “storm is coming.”

Paul

Piss off Rich. I’ll worry about Hunter when he takes a couple of billion from a Saudi Prince or when he sets up shop in the West Wing. Prosecute the hell out of him for all I care …..but the media attention this is drawing is intentional misdirection from far more significant crimes of the GOP.

Paul

Sloan Bashinsky by what measure are American Democrats a cult? They rarely agree on anything? 

Let me know when you actually identify a membership or organizational structure for Antifa. I’m anti-fascist as all hell, as are most sane humans.

Your “both sides narrative” is total BS.

Sloan

Paul, That's the problem. You have zero chance of straightening out the American right, but you might reach some of the American left, since you are one of them, but, like the American right, you keep pointing your finger across the aisle. The American right is convinced it represents God and Jesus in America, but it seems to keep forgetting that Jesus said to first take the beam out of their own eye. That applies to the American left, as well.

Paul

Sloan, funny, but I point my finger at a criminal organization when I see one. I was a partisan Republican until Bush invaded Iraq. The party has since abandoned any pretense of supporting representative democracy. There is no analogue on the left. Stop smoking your own exhaust.

Sloan Bashinsky

Paul, You are living proof that you only see the side you want to see. Trump is fond of Hitler. He likes Putin. He bows to and borrows from Saudis, and his cult lemmings could give a shit. I thought Trump and Hillary Clinton both should be locked up in 2016. I watched Barack Obama accept the Nobel Prize for Peace while he continued waging the Bush-Cheney wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. His cult cheered, instead of throwing up. I watched President Biden repeatedly give Hunter his confidence and support. I have been dealing with cults for a very long time. You belong to one. Otherwise, you would be calling for Hunter and his father to be thoroughly investigated by the CIA and the FBI and the US Department of Justice. I happen to be a lawyer who once clerked for a US District Judge who presided over every federal prosecution in North Alabama.

Paul

I changed parties because I only see what I want to see? You know how totally fucked up you sound?

Sloan Bashinsky

If you wanted to see, you would not belong to a political party?
