Well there's the rub, Hunter is Joe's bagman. Exposing Hunter exposes where a LOT of his money goes, and that's to Joe. Who continually says he doesn't know shit, but is fully aware of his entire family's involvement, AND CORRUPTION profiting off Joe's position in government.

The whole family is as corrupt as the day is long.

If you have Fox Nation, I highly recommend watching the "Who is Hunter Biden?" series. Very enlightening regarding the whole family's operation, not just Hunter.

Yes...

The Clintons were just as corrupt but they were smarter about it.

All one has to ask is how does a family get filthy rich off of a Senator's salary?

There's only one answer.

Hopelessness is all the Democrats have left

It looks like President Gremlin may be done. The Dems are starting to turn on him. Both the New York Times and The Atlantic have run stories that Democrat party leaders are questioning old Joe’s ability to do the job. Duh! In fact, according to the Daily Mail, one anonymous Democrat lawmaker called the Biden administration, “rudderless, aimless, and hopeless.” And that was from somebody on his own team – ouch.

But I have to disagree with whoever coined that term. They’re more wrong than right. There has been nothing aimless or rudderless about anything Biden has done. The Biden administration has been misguided, not unguided.

They’re only feeling hopeless because Joe tried to give them everything on their Christmas wish list. Now they don’t like what that wish list looks like under the hard light of reality. Be careful what you wish for – and all of that.

You see, there is nothing aimless or rudderless about Biden’s actions. “Aimless” implies a lack of an objective – not having a goal to aim at, or a destination that he wants to take America to. Reagan was aiming for something – the shining city on the hill (which came from a 1630 sermon by John Winthrop). Trump had an objective too – American greatness. Joe’s aim for America is a bit different, but he’s not wavering in the slightest.

The party radicals sold him on the notion of a socialist utopia – with the new politburo going by the initials DNC. And by Gaia (his base being environmentalist wackos), that is what he has been shooting for. He hasn’t taken his eye off of that sight picture for even an instant. You’ve got to give the man credit. He knows what his base wants. Unfortunately, he foolishly decided to serve his base, and not all Americans. That’s going to cost him.

It's a mistake to consider him rudderless as well. “Rudderless” implies that the ship of state is wandering around randomly. Nothing could be further from the truth. To get to that leftist paradise he envisions, Joe has swung the rudder hard to port, and is keeping it there with ruthless determination.

Government spending is being used to make everyone wards of the state. That it has triggered runaway inflation has not changed Joe’s determination to spend more.

Academic indoctrination has sought to separate children from their families and churches. When parents tried to push back, our Department of Justice targeted them as terrorists. There was still no course change.

A pandemic has been used to test the limits of autocracy. The government closed some businesses while leaving others open. Our president mandated that we all take an experimental drug treatment. Lockdowns violated our right of assembly. We were even told what we could and couldn’t do with our own property. When the courts said “no’ to all of the above, the administration began attacking the courts. Notably, Biden did not accept the court decisions and begin adhering to the Constitution. He began looking for work arounds to the Constitution, to stay on his chosen course.

Our constitutionally protected liberties have also been under attack. First, they tried to restrict our freedom of speech in the name of preventing disinformation. Of course, it would be leftist bureaucrats who would decide what constituted “disinformation.” Next the Dems tore the blindfold off of Lady Justice – creating one set of rules for Democrats and another for everyone else. Now they are attacking our right of self-defense with red flag laws and onerous regulations and fees. Finally, environmentalism has been used to justify government expansion into all aspects of our lives – in the name of saving the planet. But it has given us skyrocketing fuel prices and a broken supply chain.

But just because Joe has decided to collide with an iceberg doesn’t mean he isn’t steering this ship. He’s being stupid and stubborn, but not rudderless.

Socialism is a perverted compromise between two entirely incompatible systems – capitalism and communism. It has been tried many times, but has never worked. It fails because it runs counter to human nature. To keep it going requires massive government control and spending. Ultimately, it crushes the human spirit and lowers the standard of living. For it to continue the state must eventually control every aspect of human existence, placing itself above God, family, and individual liberty. It requires humans to assume a hive existence. Freedom and socialism cannot coexist.

As the socialist experiment fails, its practitioners must make a choice. They can choose to return to capitalism. Or they can double down and commit to full-blown communism – state control of everything. That’s why the Dems are feeling hopeless. We’re at that fork in the road. Returning to capitalism would require the Dems to admit that they’ve been wrong about everything for the past 90 years (when the New Deal was started). That’s a mighty big pill to swallow. But communism is repugnant to people who have known freedom – and that destination is becoming visible over the horizon.

This experiment in leftism was destined to fail. Joe just had the ineptitude to make it fail faster than anyone thought possible. He did it faster than FDR, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, or Barack Obama. A clever President may have kept the ruse going for a few years. But that’s a level of clever that Biden does not have in his toolkit.

For the Dems, going back (to capitalism) represents failure. But going forward (to communism) also means failure (at the ballot box). Given their current predicament, hopelessness is the only emotion available to them.

They are locked into a path that is destined to treat them to a few electoral cycles in the wilderness. Maybe more than a few, if they don’t learn their lessons.

So are the Democrats

Rudderless – Nope
Aimless – Nope
Hopeless – Gloriously so

Joey from Scranton gave the spoiled kids on the left everything they wanted (just like he did his actual kids). He took a hard left turn and made a beeline for communism. But it resulted in $6 gas, empty store shelves, runaway inflation, and disappearing liberties. The number of Americans who think the country is on the wrong track is up to 88 percent. That is almost 9 out of 10 Americans who think we made the wrong choice at the capitalism/communism fork in the road. I’d feel hopeless too – if I were them.

Wild, isn't it? After all the sloppy corrupt things Biden and his little friends have done with impunity for decades, it turns out that Hunter is the one fucked up enough to be the weak link. I wonder if Joe's handlers ever figured out that their team wasn't complete without Hunter having a full set of handlers too.

While somewhat accurate, it's actually Joe's corruption that brings the money in. Their family (at the very least Hunter and Jim) sells access to whatever Joe's current position of power is or was... Hunter really has no skills (besides having the Biden last name and being able to smoke copious amounts of crack) except talkin up ole pop and selling access to him.

It's all about pay for play.

The Clinton’s kid didn’t turn into a whore and crackhead.

Trainwreck kids are often the product of abuse by their parents. Joe sexually abused his daughter if he showered with her at age 12. You see how he puts his hands on and literally sniffs other young women, and the gaffes he says.

He may have been violent with Hunter, or ignored him (or worse), favoring the older son. Hunter would likely have deep feelings of inadequacy and act out in various attention seeking ways. The crazier shit he does, the more dad might actually pay attention to him.

Hunter is the story because he was MADE, he didn't just "happen".

Not typically into rap, but I give this one thumbs up for great content.
I enjoyed it best the second time listening, when I was able to follow the lyrics.

Tucker Carlson Outlines How Joe Biden is Implementing the Green New Deal Energy Program and Killing the U.S. Economy, and Standard of Living, in The Process

During an extensive opening monologue on Tuesday evening, Fox News host Tucker Carlson walked through the origin of the modern American push for a transformation in the U.S. energy system; as outlined in the Green New Deal advocacy of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and how Joe Biden is implementing the agenda by executive fiat.

The Green New Deal is domestically to the U.S. as the Build Back Better agenda is to the rest of the western nations who follow the instructions from the World Economic Forum. Collectively the economies of western government are starting to collapse as the underlying energy policies (climate change) are being implemented.

Carlson walks through several examples of countries who have tried and failed to switch from oil, gas and coal to the “green renewable” energy programs. Everything from farming to home heating is now under attack by the governmental energy policies of western nations. Civil society is starting to collapse in according to the schedule of the nations who have tried to transition. Perhaps the worst part about it, is that western politicians -like Joe Biden- do not care how much damage is done, they are doing it anyway.
WATCH:

.

Something has to change, and soon. As a nation we are going to self-destruct if we do not stop this mad effort to use windmills and solar energy as alternative power sources to oil, coal and natural gas. Already there are signs that states like Texas are bordering on an energy crisis because there is not enough wind to power their windmills.

From the complete restructuring of farming under the guise of climate change (the intentional shift to eating bugs and lab-grown meat), to the complete collapse of stable energy as a result of chasing climate change goals, we are fast approaching the point of no easy return.

We are not going to like the civil unrest and national instability that comes along with public desperation.

The Biden administration says that 66 years old is too old for commercial airline pilots as President Biden nears 80 years old.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg expressed his opposition to raising the airline pilot retirement age to 67, from 65, over the weekend on "Fox News Sunday" as his boss nears octogenarian status.

While speaking on "Fox News Sunday," the transportation secretary said that the retirement ages were "there for a reason" and that he was "not going to be on board with anything that compromises safety."

"The answer is not to keep the baby boomer generation in the cockpit indefinitely," Buttigieg said.

"The answer is to make sure we have as many and as good pilots ready to take their place, to have a stronger pipeline," he continued. "We’re backing that up with FAA programs that support high school and college curriculum to get into aviation, and of course ultimately it’ll be for the airlines and those employers to hire and retain excellent talent."

FOX Business asked the White House and Department of Transportation why the administration believes 66 is too old to be a commercial pilot but 80 isn't too old to be president of the United States.

Neither answered the question.

How long are this fool's handlers going to let him keep Ron Burgundy-ing the goddam teleprompter?

JOE BIDEN in Israel: "...to keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust — horror of the Holocaust"

If I was there, I'd intentionally do it whenever possible so I could get fired. I'm sure there's worse punishments than being one of his minions.

^^ Oh, I don't know. Who would hire an ex-Biden minion, and what on earth kind of work would they hire an ex-Biden minion to do?

The Demokrats will always take care of each other.
They'll get hired for another DC govt job or by the DNC.
