[responding to last thread]

Trump is definitely loyal to Russia, never a single bad word for Putin, only constant praise & defense... when he loved insulting so many (plus so much other evidence)

i don't know why you can't see it, but it doesn't matter any more, Trump himself is a way bigger threat than Russia

there is no indication at all Biden's pipeline choice is to benefit Russia & he is NOT constantly praising & defending Russia, so the idea that Biden is the real Russia friend is utterly ridiculous


as for the cobalt mine, i see nothing about its purpose being for nuclear weapons (though i only briefly looked)... also China already has nuclear weapons


and on the seniority issue for committee members, my problem is w/ the fucking idiots he wants to lead the committees (himself (Gaetz), Greene, Boebert & Cawthorn) all distinguished idiots & cultists

Biden's decision may have been to befriend Germany, but the reality is that it is a HUGE benefit for Russia with zero benefit for us.

I'll agree that I wouldn't want Greene being given a committee seat. I dont mind Boebert or Gaetz.No idea who cawthorn is.

But yeah in general I agree that sort of person shouldn't be the leaders.

The Cobalt AFAIK is for manufacturing purposes (smart phones, tvs etc.)

But it could be used for nuclear purposes.

Do I think it's a treasonous act or something? No. But it's not that good either.

this was the first article that came up from googling "hunter biden cobalt mine"
(not familiar w/ the outlet, but doesn't seem written in biased fashion):

http://www...and-the-cobalt-mine-explained/

i see no actual evidence Hunter was even involved, just R's speculating... and given the -total bullshit- story about Hillary & Uranium One & R's claiming she was completely responsible when it was an impossibility that she could be & quite possibly had no involvement at all, i have no faith whatsoever in R speculation on this similar sounding story

but investigate, as they must, & try to spin the likely nothing they find into something

Hunter Biden’s investment firm helped broker a 2016 deal that gave a Chinese state-backed company control of a massive African mine rich in cobalt — a mineral essential for the production of electric car batteries.

The deal, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon during the 2020 presidential campaign, was spotlighted by the New York Times Saturday as Congress inches closer to approving President Biden’s $2 trillion social spending plan, which earmarks billions of dollars to promote electric vehicles.

In 2016, an investment firm founded by Hunter Biden with several Chinese partners was cut into a complex $3.8 billion transaction that transferred 80 percent of Congo’s Tenke Fungurum mine from an American company to Beijing-backed China Molybdenum.

President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden’s father, was the sitting vice president when the deal was struck.

Hunter Biden’s firm helped China gain control of electric-car mineral: report
By Mary Kay Linge

Hunter Biden's investment firm reportedly struck a deal to transfer the majority of Congo's Tenke Fungurum mine to a Chinese company in 2016.

Hunter Biden’s investment firm helped broker a 2016 deal that gave a Chinese state-backed company control of a massive African mine rich in cobalt — a mineral essential for the production of electric car batteries.

The deal, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon during the 2020 presidential campaign, was spotlighted by the New York Times Saturday as Congress inches closer to approving President Biden’s $2 trillion social spending plan, which earmarks billions of dollars to promote electric vehicles.

In 2016, an investment firm founded by Hunter Biden with several Chinese partners was cut into a complex $3.8 billion transaction that transferred 80 percent of Congo’s Tenke Fungurum mine from an American company to Beijing-backed China Molybdenum.

President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden’s father, was the sitting vice president when the deal was struck.


The mine is one of the world’s largest sources of cobalt — and China’s control of the mineral “presents a critical vulnerability to the future of the U.S. domestic auto industry,” Biden’s White House reported in June.

A White House spokesman said that Joe Biden had no knowledge of his son’s involvement with the sale, the Times reported.

Political calls the uranium mine story "mostly false" but if you read their explanation Id say its mostly true.

Their argument is that she didnt act alone and that many other people (although it doesn't say how many, atleast 7 or so secretaries) were involved.

But key facts the left wing* politics claims is true

1.She sat on the CFIUS board as the sec. of state and voted in favor of the sale.

2. It was about 20% of US uranium proven reserves. But they point out 11% of production, not sure why that matters.

3. Russian state ROSATOM owns it, 100%.

4. The parties involved* in the sale did donate 145 million to the Clinton Foundation.

*It doesn't say which parties involved.But considering political they wouldn't.

It sounds like that shit happened.

that's a lot of "Hunter Biden's investment firm" mentions, making it sounds like it's his

it's a Chinese firm... but yes, Hunter a co-founder (along w/ some other Americans), Hunter w/ a 10% stake... though i've seen nothing suggesting Hunter had anything at all to do w/ the cobalt mine deal (though haven't looked hard either)

as for Uranium One, yes the State Dept is one of many departments who had to sign off on it... she claimed she tasked some other person to review it, not hard to believe that she wasn't personally doing it... but in any case, many big departments signed off on it so she can't possibly be responsible

whereas the right repeatedly claimed she was responsible not mentioning all the rest... & insinuating the charity donations were bribes (there was misinfo about the donations too, but don't recall the specifics at the moment)

Vice Presidents are the 1st runner up in a beauty pageant. Their job is to break ties in the Senate and to otherwise stay alive just in case the President cannot fulfill his duties as Miss America.

Hillary didn’t get the money, her charity did, and the bulk came from a guy known for being a philanthropist (and I think it was when he was no longer even a part of the business or something... I know there was gross misleading about the donations too)

plus there’s still the obstacle that she had no ability to approve it on her own (and no evidence or reason to believe she was arm twisting 8? other department heads to approve against their will, which would’ve looked real weird)

i'm really glad i mentioned Uranium One :p

and it -would- be different with Trump

Hillary's charity is an end point charity that actually does the charity work

Trump's 'charity' was a personal slush fund, he used the donations by others to benefit himself... such as donating it on to other charities to get them to hold events at his places where he charged top dollar, or paying off legal fines, or buying portraits of himself


the R theory is every head of our government was willing to sell out our national interests as Hillary wanted charity money... even though zero evidence of any of it, just scouring donations to the massive charity & deciding they were bribes (& not worried about the timing)... & of course they don't mention that it required all those other heads to approve

Considering US (and Canadian, and European) policy is to only isolate for 5-7 days and there's no research to support such a short isolation period (all indications are that vaccines do not shorten infectious window with Omicron), I don't see why Sarah Palin should be criticized?

Dodging answers you don't want to give.

No where in the constitution does it set a time and date, therefore delaying said count makes no real difference.Since the ECA isn't enforceable by the constitution, and its what sets the time constraints your point is moot.

He's not buying it, he's selling it. And it's exactly why Republicans are eager to "reform" the Electoral Count Act, and exactly why I oppose it.

From the moment it was first proposed it was obvious that it's nothing other than an effort to legitimize Trump & GOP bullshit that the counting of electoral votes is somehow ambiguous ... and therefore Trump & the GOP weren't conspiring to topple the government and install Trump as dictator.

Any "reform" should be called the Defense of Right Wing Insurrectionists Act, because that is all it will do, and all that it is intended to do.

"And it's exactly why Republicans are eager to "reform" the Electoral Count Act"

i think R's want to do it to pretend they compromised w/ D's and did something meaningful

-------

& screwing w/ the electoral count certification was part of multiple Jan 6th schemes to force using the backup method of one vote per state and a known Trump win (as Trump was discussing even before election happened)

including one of Jenna Ellis' (traitor lawyer) plans being to send those allegedly 'disputed' electors back to the states & give the legislatures 10? days to settle it, and if not settled then that state didn't count, leading to option #1 above, so it just required the traitor R's in the state legislatures to drag their heels, they didn't need to succeed in chucking votes

(& 6 of the 7 states that the Trump team made sure to send in fake electors to help pretend it was disputed have R legislatures w/ plenty of proven traitors)

+ there was the attempt to have DOJ send letters to those legislatures falsely claiming that FBI suspected mass fraud to help give them ammo to dispute the electors (only disrupted by mass resignation threat, the letter was already drafted by the stooge Trump was planning to install as acting AG)

it was an attempt to overthrow election, no doubt about it

Curiosity question

How do you guys feel about the dems (I think it was Harris) questioning the legitimacy of the upcoming midterms (to Google*)

"I'm not saying it's going to be legit," Mr Biden said when asked about the possibility of fraud in the forthcoming elections that will decide the balance of power in Washington.

"The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed," the Democratic president continued.

Members of his own party quickly pushed back against the suggestion.

Maryland Senator Ben Cardin said new Republican state voting laws were "very troublesome", but he added of Mr Biden's remarks: "I don't know if I'd use those terms."

"We might have a little difference of opinion on that one," West Virginia's Joe Manchin told CNN.

apparently some of the docs handed over to Jan 6th from the Nat'l Archives were ripped up & taped back together

which confirms the story early on that the fucking idiot w/ many criminal tendencies would rip shit up & that the behavior continued his whole 'presidency'

another fraud fundraiser text sent out to the cult by team Fraud:

"
I have something important to tell you but you CANNOT share this with anyone.

I'm hosting a very important lunch in MAR-A-LAGO soon, and I've requested that YOU be my special guest.

My team just told me you haven't entered yet. I'll admit that I was disappointed to hear that, but, you're one of my BEST supporters, so I've decided to do something I RARELY DO in the hopes that you'll join me for lunch.

I've unlocked an exclusive DOUBLE-ENTY for YOU and YOU ONLY!

All you have to do is contribute $50 or more and you'll automatically be entered TWICE to win a trip to have lunch with ME in FLORIDA.
"

- playing on stupid people's beliefs that he's really talking to them specifically, including the claim he's disappointed in them (used often)

- total fraud lie about double entry just for them

plus there's question if anyone ever wins these things:

seems like violating the 'no purchase necessary' laws too (though haven't seen fine print):

you cannot:
- Require people to make a purchase in order to enter your promotion.
- Allow entrants to increase their chances of winning by making a purchase.

this appears to explain why those voting machine seizing executive orders written:

"
A report from The New York Times reveals that Trump pressed his lawyer Rudy Giuliani to ask the Department of Homeland Security if it was legally possible for it to seize control of the machines, and also asked Attorney General William Barr if the Justice Department could carry out the same unprecedented task. The Times states that the Giuliani directive took place six weeks after the election, and the Barr meeting happened shortly before that.

According to the report, Barr shot down the suggestion, while Giuliani did reach out to the DHS, only to be told he lacked the authority to take control of the voting machines. Trump’s advisers reportedly wrote two drafts of an executive order authorizing the military to oversee the seizure of the machines, at which point Giuliani is said to have abandoned the plans, and persuaded Trump that the military shouldn’t get involved.

Donald Trump will never be prosecuted for anything. From tax evasion to fraud to stealing from children with cancer to trying to overthrow the government.

He will never ever be prosecuted.

Here's Bill Maher calling out insane leftists who support things like canceling "problematic" Dr. Seuss books.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdJOLMgY4p0

Maher is right, of course. But I recall a certain someone who spent a good number of posts on here claiming that this was a total non-problem that conservatives were insane to cry foul on (just like CRT, another thing that Maher thinks is a bad thing but which the far left denies exists even as they push it onto society).

Rugian, The modern democratic party has left people like Bill maher behind and now more closely resembles the view.

This is why more people are Republicans than Democrats anymore. Usually we assume more people are democratic and that Reoublicans win because of a more energized base, now reoublicans are more energized AND are the plurality.

my problem was the lying about it

Dr Seuss wasn’t cancelled and Biden had -nothing- to do with the 3 discontinued books (that no one seemed to own as they kept showing ones like Green Eggs And Ham in graphics)

then theres the bullshit like throwing Minnie Mouse into this woke/cancel culture narrative when it had nothing to do with that

TW, The problem as I see it is both sides linking political baggage of any and everyone into two teams.

The left makes up crazy links to the opposite team as much if not more.

Any crazy wokism is linked to all democrats.

Just like any anti government conspiracy theory is linked to all Reoublicans.

Both sides are expected to then defend anything anyone on the opposing side has done or said.Its absurd.

Trump is the -source- of a lot of the crazy, so R's should have to answer for it until rejecting him as their leader

from new interview: "Lindsey [Graham] is a nice guy but he’s a RINO" ~fuckhead

if you disagree w/ Trump you are a RINO... that's weird, that's fucked up... this 'man' is a fucking idiot child fraud, proven every time he has spoken for the last 7+ years

Well, Lindsey is put of step with much of the party, especially the Trump wing.

Now I'm not sure what particularly this was about, it may be an arbitrary issue.

But as Ive said a million times and Trump has even said pretty much take alot of what he says with a grain of salt.

But in the case of Lindsey Graham, I think his politics are outdated, closer to a W. Bush Republican.

Well Graham easily won in 2020 so, he isn't up for a few years. They ran a Nancy Pelosi protege fornthe democrat, which just won't fly down here. I wouldn't be surprised if Graham somehow influenced who he was going to run against.

In regards to his comment, in this case he wasnt that far off . But his support and feuds etc. are fickle.

I think this statement is probably closer to his true feelings about Lindsey.

TW, A good comparison would be the liberal outrage over not teaching Maus.

IDK how many articles claim they banned it.That is false. It was pulled from the curriculum and seen a huge spike in people buying them (like with Seuss) but was never banned.

The hill isn't what I would consider typical MSM though. Especially lately. Since Krystal and Saagar have been as successfully as they have I've noticed that the Hill has really been bringing in mostly non typical journalists like Kim Iverson and Brihana joy gray (Bernies campaign something or other)

Like they really have been aiming at that niche of a non Democrat or Republican.

"Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark made good on his promise and plead the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during his deposition with the January 6 committee on Wednesday, a source familiar with the interview told CNN"


Jeffrey Clark is the stooge Trump wanted installed as acting AG who was ready to lie to state legislatures that DOJ suspected mass voter fraud (only thwarted by threats of mass resignations)

but meh... whatever...

also there's Trump going to DOJ & Homeland Security & the Pentagon seeing if any of them willing to seize voting machines

also not worth considering or ever mentioning...

Liz Cheney & Adam Kinzinger are traitors for wanting to know about those things!

Its not pursuing January 6 that's the issue.

Its pursuing January 6 to the exclusion of everything else, and ignoring the much greater and deadlier shit the Democrats have been pulling in the last 2 years.

In effect, those RINOs are saying that nationwide leftwing riots lasting for months on end are completely fine, but make the IMPORTANT PEOPLE like the Cheney scion feel inconvenienced for a couple of hours and all of a sudden its a fucking seditious insurrection that nearly toppled oUr DeMoCrAcY.

That's why they're being censored. Fuck them.

other stuff in resolution:
"
WHEREAS, Winning back the majority in Congress, including the United States House of Representatives, in 2022 must be the primary goal of the House Republican Conference (“Conference”) and requires all Republicans working together to accomplish the same;

WHEREAS, The Conference must design the strategy to stop the radical Biden agenda and retire Nancy Pelosi, tasks which require that all Republicans pull in the same direction;

WHEREAS, The Conference must not be sabotaged by Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who have demonstrated, with actions and words, that they support Democrat efforts to destroy President Trump more than they support winning back a Republican majority in 2022
