Turns out those who got vaxxed are the ones responsible for furthering the disease due to shedding.

I firmly believe that WB entrusting this franchise to Snyder will go down in Hollywood history as one of the most costly blunders a film studio has ever made. But that's a discussion for next time.

But the Snyder Cut!

I don’t know what the FE explanation is for the earth having a magnetic field in the shape it does.

In what way should it differ?

Of course. There's nothing inherent to FET that would prevent you from being able to use a compass, and we know empirically that they function as they're supposed to. Rest easy friend!

Tom, they won't publish your flat Earth dinosaur stuff because it's insane, not because it goes against the view of their newspaper.

And yes, newspapers publish opinion pieces that go against their views all the time. Please stop pretending this is such an unusual concept. I hate to accuse someone of trolling, of course, but when you're being so obviously disingenuous it's difficult to see it as anything but.

Looks like another historic federal indictment against a former President of the United States is coming.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/07/donald-trump-jack-smith-martial-law-voting-machines

Let us nevar forget how disgraceful our former President acted during that period.

Never knew how terrible a dart player you are, Roundy.

Well that comment has aged like Limburger sitting out on the porch during a climate change induced heatwave.

Of the three federal indictments against our disgraceful former president this one is by far the most interesting. Let's hope it's not all sound and fury etc etc.

There is also this.

The only ones trying to sell a narrative is the Republicans, who are desperate for a scandal (any scandal!) involving Biden to deflect from the fact that their likely candidate is in seriously deep shit. The Democrats have the facts on their side. The line about "selling the illusion" doesn't come from some spin doctors, it comes directly from the latest star witness that was supposed to blow the Biden Crime Family's ( ) corruption wide open, and ended up being yet another dud, because the Biden Crime Family is a figment of the imagination.

If there's evidence of corruption on Joe's part I'm sure it will come out. Unfortunately all the Repugnicans have been able to produce are half-baked accusations and conspiracy theories. But I wish them all the luck, if Biden really is the master criminal they desperately want the public to  believe he is then it should be exposed.

On the other hand there are REAMS of evidence damning Trump. And as a bonus Biden never tried to overthrow the government, so on balance I think he's the better candidate.

of course the former vp would have no access to secret service, and of course would have no influence as he wasn't elected president yet, and of course hunter would never be a part of any administration anyway.

100% correct! The Secret Service's coverage of a VP isn't for life like it is for a President. It ends six months after they serve. So, yeah. But whoever lets facts and details get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, eh?

Hunter does come across as a bit of a slimeball and for some reason the Republicans eat it up. You know what though? Hunter's not our President! Our President is so unimpeachable they need to attack his family. That they are so unapologetically doing so is the real disgrace.

The entire point of this debacle is that Joe has been using Hunter as a scapegoat and liaison to enact personal corruption. I think you, and everyone else here, knows perfectly well that this isn't just about Hunter. He's not some random man who happens to be connected to Joe Biden. The meme of "I didn't vote for Hunter!" and "you just don't have anything on Joe!" is nonsense. Hunter didn't find himself on the boards of foreign oil and gas companies because of his extensive executive knowledge in how to run oil and gas companies. Joe used his son to personally gain from his political power. Now neither Joe nor his son will face consequences for doing so. This is okay to you because obviously they are not the same person and the idea of them coordinating with each other is utterly impossible.

Sometimes I think the idea of family members interacting with each other is so completely foreign to so many Democrats that they cannot even imagine it...

Sure, Democrats recognize that families work together; the Trump administration saw some epic nepotism, and Democrats definitely recognize that the Trump crime family has been working together shamelessly defrauding people for decades. I guess maybe some day we'll see some concrete evidence that Joe and Hunter conspired to do something similarly illegal together, who knows?

In all of those cases Joe Biden is denying it as well. He is denying that those things are attributable to his family.

Denying his own grandchild is especially egregious and low, as she was proven to be Hunter's daughter with a blood test in 1999.

Yet the Joe and Jill Biden have repeatedly put up stockings at Christmas at the White House for only six of their seven grandchildren, leaving out Navy Joan Roberts.

They did it in Christmas of 2021:

And again in Christmas of 2022:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/nov/28/biden-family-christmas-stockings-exclude-hunters-o/



They reportedly even put Christmas stockings up for the dog and cat at the White House, but not for Navy Joan.

Biden repeatedly states that he has only six grandchildren:

https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1651632958527111168

Jill Biden says it as well:

https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/04/06/jill-biden-misstates-number-of-grandchildren-she-and-joe-have/

“We have three children, and we have six grandchildren,” the former second lady said, with her husband adding their grandchildren ranged from “seniors in law school to little infants.”

Reporters have asked White House Press Secretary about this and there is a refusal to answer the question or acknowledge the grandchild as theirs:

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/07/06/bidens-cruel-erasure-navy-joan-roberts/



According to a Times report, White house aids have been told for years in strategy meetings that President Biden only has six grandkids, excluding Navy Joan

https://nypost.com/2023/07/05/wh-refuses-to-answer-questions-about-bidens-estranged-granddaughter-by-hunter/



The little girl is also not even given secret service protection from kidnapping:

Yes, your guy tried to overthrow the government, has been found in court to have sexually assaulted someone, and kept classified documents he had no right to keep to seem cool to his friends, and this is the kind of thing the Republicans are trying to use to discredit Biden. I already pointed out how amusing it is, you don't really need to continue trying to make me laugh.

Crazy how the Republicans keep latching onto the President's son to try to discredit the President. It's almost like they have nothing tangible to attack the President himself about. We even see it in at least half of the grievances used in that meme Tom just shared (I say at least half because, predictably, a lot of people seem convinced that the cocaine was Hunter's).

-Inflation was inevitable after the last couple years and it's going downward on his watch.
-I don't even know what this is referring to. Did the Republicans cook up another fake scandal that I somehow missed??
