This is a simplistic but strange message: If you people don't reelect me, I'm going to feel really bad. Bad enough I'll have to run away. Vote for me so I don't feel bad. WTF!?

The reaction of an eight year old.

I like how the subpoena is redacted and has no specific details. It could be (to paraphrase Arpaio) for a barking dog. Objects are (supposedly) listed in the attachment. https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/Subpoena-GrandJury-computerequipment.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=720 Interes...

so it is not only Hunter Biden doing business with China


Of course nobody mentions Ivanka and her lucrative deals...

Electoral Intrusion

Now what does that mean???

Just asking for a friend: did they go shopping at a pizza parlor with a hidden basement

I wonder if there is a reason why he claims to be a *former* NASA guru

After digesting the Verge article I conclude this is a fail of trumpian dimensions. Had this article appeared a couple of months earlier it may have made a good start to hammer individual-1 and his MAGA economics. Should questions at the upcoming debate turn to economics then Biden would have some n...

snippet Even the handful of jobs the company claims to have created are less than real: many of them held by people with nothing to do, hired so the company could reach the number required for it to get tax subsidy payments from Wisconsin.
