After all the trouble they had with lockdowns?

Something’s happened to Bill Maher.

Sshhh. you’re supposed to be quiet about that.

You’re in luck.

A short read of Andrew McCarthy’s piece in National Review. Hat tip: Powerline. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/08/the-biden-brand-racket.php THE “BIDEN BRAND” RACKET Andrew McCarthy’s weekly NRO column eludcidates “The ‘Biden brand’ racket.” It is educational and biting. He deserves a Pulitzer Prize for commentary of this quality week after week. The only problem is that it is kept behind NRO’s paywall. Somebody really ought to arrange with NRO to let McCarthy’s columns run free. As the kid says in A Thousand Clowns, “And that’s my opinion from the blue, blue sky.” What the heck is the “Biden brand”? McCarthy invokes his professional experience: “Such a nice word, brand. Not what we federal prosecutors in the Organized Crime Unit called it back in the Eighties. We were more inclined to say extortion. Or racketeering — say, running a protection racket, as in, ‘Nice business you have here, be a shame if anyone shut it down.’” Referring to a work somewhat better known than A Thousand Clowns, McCarthy writes: The twelve-minute clip is below. It is posted as part 1 of a two-part interview. Part 2 of the interview is over an hour long and is also available on the site formerly known as Twitter.

I doubt there’ll be one.

No, no. Just evidence in the indictment that is so incriminating, so damning, so indefensible. Taking it all, as they intended, at face value, without doubt.

As in, one should take into account when making an evaluation.

Should be good. Next time pick the other side.

Be sure and let us know when you get back.

You forgot, I told you already that the indictment left out all exculpatory evidence. If it ever goes to trial you’ll see.

You’re welcome, in advance.

Trump is the only one who matters. Nobody else can touch him.

You got the wrong one. And what grade is that?

So, what was your response when Biden said he was going to appoint a black woman?

Yeah, it happens a lot.

Well that’s not gonna work, and bananas basketball is busy proving why, one by one Trump has been proven to be right. Vivek is interesting, but a little green.

Three from this list, (Pence, Giulliani, Epshteyn) have said in the last two days that they didn’t think Trump did anything wrong. What wasn’t included in that lamebrained indictment was any exculpatory evidence. That’s on top of the fact that Smith has once again contrived statutes into a law that doesn’t exist. A competent judge would throw it out before it started, and very well may on pre trial challenges.

And the military members who were discharged and disciplined.

Wow! Four years later.

The FBI is still hiding their corruption. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/08/01/deception_by_redaction_how_the_fbi_tried_to_hide_the_full_extent_of_fisa_abuses_using_fake_news_in_the_washington_post_969200.html

Come on, man?

It’s from an Obama appointed judge in a case involving Bill Clinton. She outranks NARA. NARA and Obama may have come to some agreement, but no democrat, in a democrat operation, referred him to the DoG as was done in the case of Trump, and he has been out of office a lot longer than Trump. http://www.norcalblogs.com/postscripts/2018/06/10/national-archive-administrator-obama-records-missing/

I thought they were waiting till he got everybody’s roof painted white.
