After five years of litigation the Hunter Biden mess broke down last week with the parties unable to agree on the language for a plea bargain.
Hunter is certainly no bargain, but this nonsense has been going on since the Trump administration and that’s exactly why this situation exists. There is still a miniscule chance that the criminal, Donald Trump, could win the election, and everybody knows that if he does, the revenge driven little shit will send his entire justice department after Hunter with guns blazing. After five years of litigation, Hunter’s lawyers are well aware of this and it’s their job to protect against it.
Meanwhile every member of the GOP who has learned to speak is trumpeting the notion that Joe Biden will pardon his son if he is convicted of anything. That will never happen. It’s amazing to me that these dumb clowns are unable to understand the difference between a criminal like Trump and a functional President like Biden, a man who lives by a particular moral code.
Trump pardoned everyone who ever did anything to help him. He would have pardoned his sons if they had shot Nancy Pelosi on National TV because Trump is a degenerate criminal that puts himself before anything else. This is not conjecture. He has shown this in unabashed fashion, time and again. Everything that Trump does is balanced against how much it will help Trump. Neither the American people nor the fate of the nation are ever considered. Only how much it will benefit Trump.

There were a couple of big discussions by members of the media on TV last week about why the Biden administration is having so much trouble getting out the message that Joe Biden has been one of the most successful Presidents in the history of the nation. He has passed more significant legislation in less time than anyone except LBJ and FDR. He’ s beating inflation, if slower than most would like, and he has an agenda that will do more for the nation in a second term than anyone in memory.
I watched these discussions between reporters and wondered if they ever listened to themselves. They are the media. Their job is to tell the people the story of what is happening in this country. They are supposed to know what’s going on. It’s their job. If the average joe is uninformed, it means the press isn’t doing its job, because the media’s job is to inform the public. When the people are uninformed, it is the failure of the media that is responsible. If the people don’t know what Biden has accomplished it’s because the media isn’t informing them. So, where do these jerks get off complaining that the Democrats aren’t getting the message out. The press knows the message. They know the truth. All they have to do is tell it.

Last weekend, Meet the Press’s Chuck Todd ran off a litany of Donald Trump’s already scheduled criminal trials comprising 74 different indictments that could, but won’t add up to a couple of hundred years in the can. That’s just so far. It doesn’t include any civil trials that he will be involved in before and during the upcoming election. It’s a dammed impressive list of transgressions and even if he isn’t guilty of all of them, it’s for dammed certain that he is guilty of a majority of them.
Sure, if you’re a Republican, they’re all political, but if you are a normal person with an open mind, Republican or Democrat, you will undoubtedly see that Trump is nothing but a criminal and that the only thing that will save the GOP from complete catastrophe is for him to lose the primary. Unfortunately, that won’t happen. It is crystal clear that there is nothing and no one that will beat Trump in the GOP primary even if he is convicted of all the counts in all the trials they can complete before it happens.
The GOP is desperately in need of a savior and it sure in hell isn’t Trump. In the bizarre eventuality that he actually became President, it wouldn’t be just the GOP that would be destroyed, it would be the entire nation. He almost pulled it off the first time he won. He then demonstrated what a poor choice he was by committing treason to try to hold onto an office he had already lost at the polls.
Yes, this hasn’t been legally established yet but it’s pretty evident it will be in the upcoming trials. I mean, he’s admitted most of it, actually bragged about it, so all it will take are the formalities.

The indictments have been very kind financially to Trump. His campaign fund is said to have raised $250 million following the announcements of his various indictments. Of course, damn little of any money raised will be used for campaigning. Most will go to lawyer’s fees and stuff like the following.
$ I million to the Conservative Partnership Institute
$1 million to the America First Policy Institute
$204,857 to the Trump Hotel Collection
$5 Million to Event Strategies Inc.

Last week Donald Trump was indicted for the third time. This time on 4 counts of Federal Felony charges. Yes, this is the most serious indictment, although all of them could put him away for the rest of his life.
Trump is being charged with:
1&2- Conspiracy to obstruct and obstructing an official proceeding.
3-Conspiracy to defraud the United States.
4-Conspiracy to violate the right to vote.
The first two charges are the same as those brought against many of the hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants.
I find it very interesting that Smith didn’t charge Trump with insurrection. I guess he felt that the picture of the fat crook hanging from a gibbet would be too much for his fanatic followers to swallow as many of them still aren’t ready to admit that Trump is nothing but a crminal. Kevin McCarthy felt the need to make a statement that these charges are nothing but the Democrats attempting to cover up the charges against Hunter Biden. Really? The ex-President of the United States trying to subvert an election by lying about it being stolen is equal to a relative of the current President being charged with tax evasion. I mean, come on. We know McCarthy is an idiot, but does he really think the rest of us are?
The indictments are crushing because Smith has included testimony by an army of Trump supporters who state, unequivocally, that they told Trump there was no steal, that the election was good. He got his ass kicked but he refused to accept it and continued with his illegal attempts to grab the office back. This is, of course, typical Trump. He still wanted to be President and the fact that he had lost the election simply didn’t count. This is why he has a history of indictments and convictions that goes back decades, encompassing airlines, food companies, real estate, taxes, physical assaults against women, and stealing from charities. He is the lowest kind of scum, a disgrace to this country and far and away the worst President we have ever been dumb enough to elect. Only the fact that we refused to make the same mistake twice is some evidence that we have, as a nation, retained some modicum of our accumulated intelligence.
Thank you for putting the many facts in place. Analysis and clarification, well done!
