No, Republicans, You're Fucking Lying About Biden and the Ukrainian Prosecutor

snip//

You know who else didn't give damn about Hunter Biden or Burisma? The fuckin' Congress. Yeah, in the Congressional Record for the 114th and 115th Congress (which covers 2015-2018), neither "Burisma" nor "Hunter Biden" are brought up. Not once. And Republicans were running the joint the entire time. Both houses. Why the fuck didn't they care? Why the fuck didn't Trump's Justice Department care starting in 2017?

You know what Republicans talked about in 2018? How fuckin' much they wanted the United States to continue to help Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Here's what Iliena Ros-Lentinin of Florida said on December 18: "We must demonstrate by our words and actions that we remain fully committed to assisting the people of Ukraine to defend their country." Indeed, before any of this shit, support for Ukraine was bipartisan and no one fucking talked about holding up money because of corruption once Shokin, the guy who didn't fight corruption, was gone.

The defense of Donald Trump in his impeachment trial has been a lesson in how emphatically you can lie and not pay any goddamn price. Every time one of the lawyers on Trump's team opens their filthy whore mouths, they lie. Every time they try to justify Trump's actions. they lie. And every time they mention Joe and Hunter Biden, they lie so extravagantly and so excessively that a righteous God would pop their heads like bloody zits. That'd be some motherfuckin' fact-checking.

You can say that it's shitty that the children of political leaders are given sweet jobs. But you sure as hell better say that about every child of every politician who gets that deal. Or about the children of a certain president who get trademarks and access to people that they never would have been able to get without Dad in the White House.

It's fucking amazing how degraded and devolved Republicans continue to be. They have decided to shitcan any law, all ethics, and any fact that threatens the power of their idiot king. They've decided that democracy is for pussies. And rules are for suckers. And go fuck yourself if you dare call them on it. Now, let's get this dictatorship in gear before 2020 fucks it up.

(By the way, you know that George W. Bush appointed Hunter Biden to the board of Amtrak? He wasn't a fucking locomotive engineer either. That's how this shit goes. Oh, and he was approved unanimously by a Republican Senate in 2006. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and the rest of the current cocks who were there in '06 didn't fucking care that Biden didn't know how a train works.)

2. What gets me is how the Senate Trumpanzees are stumbling over each other to supplicate themselves in

complete fealty to what even the most optimistic observer has to readily admit is a dude who's on his way out. Game over. Bucket, kicked.

"President for life" may very well be another half term or so.

Trust me... When that end comes to pass. There will be a reckoning and it won't be gentle to the current pack of tools. Whatever strong man moves in isn't going to care to be surrounded by Old Yeller's used up whores. He'll have his own poles to polish.

And, whoever he is... It ultimately won't be Pence, either.

Right now, the US is being held hostage by a demented constellation. Where Trump brings the outright crazy and Pence brings the religiously insane. When one goes the spell is broken and the base is gone to wander the wilderness.

If you don't think so... Check out the end of any tyranny. It's always ugliest for the true believers.

The United States was founded by people who sincerely wanted to break this cycle and in the Constitution is where they enshrined a process that they believed would ensure liberty, equality, and justice via democracy.

A Constitution that is currently placed in great peril by these short sighted self-interested sycophants.
