And it's also very useful in these hearings which aren't a criminal trial, especially in the case of Hutchinson who was around the inner circle and offers direct testimony of the words and mindset of Rump's right hand man Mark Meadows as she was his assistant.

The big question here, is why don't you take advantage of some of the opportunities in our country to get an education? That is if you are from the US. Lying every day in a monger forum doesn't get you far. And that way you can learn how to do some research and stop being a stooge of Fox News and the con men of their nightly fiction hours, Hannity and Tucker, and a constantly lying tyrant like Trump and become a useful citizen. I mean we know you can talk, but what good is that if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about? You just look like a fool, like those traitorous goons that tore up the Capital, and that Rump never pardoned. Suckers.

Posts: 1138Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden had a high-end income and lavish lifestyle. But he struggled with tax issues for years - CNN, July 27th 2022
https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/27/polit...nvs/index.html
I am confused! Why is CNN talking about Hunter Biden's issues?

Bus and rail lines in the United States exist already and easily carry the folks who choose that over alternates, like their own vehicles.
Show me where regularly scheduled busses or trains depart fully occupied where dozens of other eager riders are left at the station?

Things no doubt have changed a litttle.
But for US people to feel less pain, why doesn't the govt invest in public transport. Buses, trains etc. Oh I forgot, that would take competence and a commitment to helping the US public instead of themselves.

The DoE's official implied gasoline demand data shows the weakest demand since the COVID lockdowns (on a seasonal basis) and weakest overall since 2013.
And this is good?

Need more proof? How about this: https://lawandcrime.com/jan-6-commit...e-complicated/ or https://www.politico.com/news/magazi...imony-00042985.
But you'll just call it "fake news" because that's what "FUX snooze" says it is, right?

Posts: 5554LOL. But Repubs slam strong Dem economies. Like the current one.

Today's USA economy is not "in tatters. " Far from it. It is so strong under Biden and Dem stewardship, even Trump's Pandemic Supply-Chain Destruction Inflation has barely put a dent in consumer spending, not caused so much as a hiccup in Dem Biden's historic jobs creation or caused Dem Biden's record fast decline in the unemployment rate to tick up a mere point.
It is even doubtful that the official arbiter of "recessions", the NBER, will designate this point in time as a "recession" even if the GDP Growth rate contracted a tad last quarter:
Here's how to know if we're in a recession, and it's not what you think.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/26/here...ndroidappshare
Most people think that back-to-back negative GDP quarters constitute a recession, but thats not the case.
The National Bureau of Economic Research is the official arbiter of recessions, and uses multiple other factors in making its determination.
The NBER would be laughingstocks if they said we had a recession when we were creating 400,000 jobs a month, said Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
Now, to cite when the USA economy was truly "in tatters" under and due to Repubs, one only has to look at the Repub Trump to Dem Biden handoff just 18 months ago.
And the Repub GW Bush handoff to Dem Obama-Biden 12 years prior to that.
And the Repub GHW Bush handoff to Dem Bill Clinton 8 years before that.
And so on.

Russia, if you're listening.
I hope you're able to find a way to give us some economic pain.
$6 per gallon would be fantastic.
Can't you keep invading? Why stop at Ukraine? The more the merrier.
There're so many "Stans" in your neighborhood, you know, worth invading. It would be genius!
I think you will probably be rewarded mightily for your kindness.
Let's see if that happens. Chop-chop.

If Burden simply kept copying what Trump was doing for us, we wouldn't be in such a dipshit situation. But still, better late than never. We know Burden won't give credit to Trump for the strategies, but at least started following now. Good.
