BREAKING: Hunter Biden gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

@Strandjunker Are there actually Republicans on this platform? I don't see them hardly at all, especially compared with Twitter.

Via Kyle Griffin:

The attorney general's office says it's investigating what appears to be an "unlawful attempt" at voter suppression after NBC News reported on a robocall impersonating President telling recipients not to vote in the presidential primary.

Polls are meaningless right now. But Dem strategist Chris D. Jackson is making a point here:

🚨 BREAKING A new Reuters/Ipsos poll out today shows President Biden leading Donald Trump by 4 points in the swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, and North Carolina.

Will the media cover this poll as much as they have others that haven't been as favorable to Biden? 🤷

@GottaLaff In my state of New Hampshire, Biden is not on the ballot. But the rest of the nation presumes it's gonna be between him and Trump. Are the party conventions just rubber stamps for the elite within the parties want?

So that shrieking windbag Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has admitted she is openly coordinating with Trump to keep an “impeachment inquiry” into Biden open for as “long and excruciatingly painful” as possible. This is the real “weaponization” of the government: going after the President with absolutely no evidence, solely for political points.

@GottaLaff I had to think for a moment about why they should still care about Hunter Biden at all. Then I remembered they see the law as a hammer to bludgeon their enemies.

georgetakei, to random

Speaker Kevin McCarthy has proven again that he is a spineless fool, declaring he will launch a House impeachment into Joe Biden, even though after years of digging and hearings, they have produced exactly zero evidence of any wrongdoing. The use of the impeachment in this manner is a shameful political charade and a waste of taxpayer money. The GOP is out of ideas on how to move the nation forward, so out come the conspiracy theories to help deflect from Trump’s 4 score and 11 charges.

    We’ll see this “irrefutable proof” that Trump won the 2020 election around the same time as his tax returns. He now says that instead of releasing the YUGE report Monday, he’ll produce it at trial. Which he wants to start in April of 2026. Who else sees the con?

    @georgetakei You said "Trump" and "con," and that's all you really need. The details in between are not that relevant, because the result is always going to be the same.

    Watching my democrat US peeps cheering on huge DeSantis loss and candidates dropping out of the republican race leaves me scratching my head.
    You need to hope for closely contested races where they eat others support and create tension within the rank and file of the GOP.
    Trump stacking huge wins in primaries is a very bad sign for democracy and the world.

    @mike @m750

    I look at the Republican Party as a whole. It's an organization that rejects knowledge and facts, embraces bigotry, does nothing legislatively when in power, and is too busy tearing itself to pieces to have any kind of cohesive strategy.

    The only people voting Republican are those who have always done so and cannot be swayed. Everyone else won't.

    trabex,
    @trabex@newsie.social avatar

    @m750 @mike

    I don't think there's a single Republican who deserves to hold any kind of office in the country, large or small. None of them deserve any votes.

    That said, the primary largely doesn't matter unless Trump loses and decides to make it a contested convention. Then things might get interesting.

    But, regardless, Democrats win November, no matter who is there, Biden or anyone else.

    @mike Trump has no chance. He won't avoid jail time of a second term, if he is even eligible to be on the ballot in all 50 states.
