The Republican Party is Corrupt, Treasonous and Complicit

[Dixon Carter Lee]

But why? Have they slowly been taken over by small-minded, empathy-free school local board douche bags who have risen to the top because of the support of constituents who delight in being given permission to be as ugly, bigoted and selfish as possible?

I think so.

But why are there so many? Am I (and, okay, a couple of you) just blessed with an abundance of intelligence and humanity?

My question is...

Are the majority people really just -- dumb?

 

[HisArpy]

It's the fact that there isn't any sexy on the GB that's causing it. People go mentally nutso when there aren't any titty pics.

Objection. Google exists.

In a nation with our electoral college system and with one-third of the population controlling the election of two-thirds of the Senators, it does not take a majority of the people to constitute dumb control of the government.

Good point. But I still contend that holding that control does take a majority.

Excuse me? I don't want to go "find" titty's, I want them SHOVED RIGHT IN MY FACE - up close and personal.

I'm sure most people would understand. But then maybe that's why there's no sexy on the GB. Fucking Google, ruining the civilized world one pair of titty's at a time.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

fuck off, dingbat

Overruled. The GB doesn't promise you live titty crushing.

Just look at what a handful of Obama holdovers have accomplished.

*sigh*

You see, no wonder the GB isn't sexy anymore. Oh how I miss the days of yesteryor.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I left out the assertion that the Republicans are evil -- because I don't believe in Evil as an incarnate force. But maybe I'm being too pedantic. If we agree that evil is an abundance of ugly, selfish, destructive behavior, a dearth of empathy, and the ability to fly with a broom, then, clearly, the Republicans are evil.

I've been here since before the GB existed. Titty-crushing was always in the mind.

I don't think so.

Look at the electoral map, and look at how Trump exclusively panders to his 40% base in key states. Then look at how just by holding the Executive Branch and the Senate, Trump is re-building the Judiciary Branch in his own image.

Trump is leveraging his own minority-based election and a minority-based election of Republican control in the Senate into very long-term control of the Judicial Branch of government, and he has laid the groundwork for himself and future right wing opportunists to continue with this strategy of control by a selfish and stupid minority of the population.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Sonny lied

Lock him up

The Vice President never had a conversation with Gordon Sondland about investigating the Bidens, Burisma, or the conditional release of financial aid to Ukraine based upon potential investigations.

“Ambassador Gordon Sondland was never alone with Vice President Pence on the September 1 trip to Poland. This alleged discussion recalled by Ambassador Sondland never happened.

I can't hear you. Can you lower the horse shit?

What the demagogue Cuomo costs New York State residents:

"...The [Council of Economic Advisers] report notes states with anti-fracking and anti-fossil fuel agendas have actually increased costs for their residents. CEA specifically cites New York, which banned fracking and “stymied new pipeline construction.” According to CEA, “these policies have led to falling natural gas production in the State, greater reliance on energy produced elsewhere, and higher energy prices. New York’s failure to approve new pipelines causes consumers in New York and New England to pay an estimated $2 billion more in energy costs each year, or $233 for a family of four.”..."

Who do you think is pocketing the extra costs being paid by New York State residents for their electricity, heat and light?

I don't know, man. Many of those that voted for Hillary were "on the fence" right upon to the last minute, which is untenable. I don't think you can use the electorate process as a way to adequately assess stupidness. Also, people keep forwarding Facebook hoaxes about the size of Mars, so...

Nope. It's easier to just use a plane ticket. Faster in most cases too.

That's not flying. That's not doing anything to fuck with the physical phenomenon known as lift.

Support for fracking isn't helping your "not stupid" cause.

Republicans are also terrible artists (except for Bruce Willis) and that says a lot about their connection to empathy and humanity.

Bring up Dennis Miller, I dare you.

The Evidence That Joe Biden Committed Bribery

by Francis Menton ("Manhattan Contrarian")
B.A., Yale College

Retired Partner, Wilkie, Farr & Gallagher, LLP

"...You will quickly see that the entire question of whether Biden is guilty of bribery comes down to his motive in demanding the firing of a prosecutor and threatening to withhold U.S. aid to get that to occur. That’s because, as discussed in Sunday’s post, the other two of the three elements of federal bribery (18 U.S.C. Section 201(b)) are definitively established as to the Bidens: The “thing of value” received is Hunter’s $3+ million from Burisma; and the “official act” is Joe’s threat to withhold aid leading to the firing of the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. (Please don’t think that the fact that the money went to Hunter rather than Joe is any defense. If you have any doubt, ask Dean Skelos, currently serving a four year term for a federal bribery conviction, where the money went entirely to his son Adam.) So all that’s left is the third element, namely whether the thing of value was “in return for” the official act. In other words, this is the question of motive.

Joe Biden says as to his motive, “I was just legitimately trying to get rid of the corrupt prosecutor; my son’s position had nothing to do with it.” OK, but should we believe him? We’re talking here about what’s going on in Joe’s head. How can we get any information on that other than what he says? The answer is that we must look to see whether there is evidence that is inconsistent with what he is saying and therefore supportive of the hypothesis of corrupt motive.

Unfortunately for Joe, there is indeed evidence that is inconsistent with the hypothesis that he acted for pure motives, and not to help his son. I have identified two pieces of such evidence in prior posts:

* Biden failed to direct his son to resign from the Burisma board prior to threatening to withhold the aid and demanding the firing of the prosecutor. This was an extremely easy step that Biden could have taken to avoid any questions about his corrupt motive. Unfortunately, this step would have cost his son several million dollars. And thus Hunter remained on the Burisma through the aid withholding/firing process in late 2015/early 2016, and indeed for three more years thereafter. These facts are completely inconsistent with any theory that Biden was free of motivation to help his son.

* The prosecutor was not fired at the time Biden made the threat to withhold U.S. aid a few hours before departing the country (December 9, 2015), but only over two months later (February 16, 2016), after the prosecutor had suddenly closed in on Burisma by getting a Ukrainian court to order seizure of the property of Burisma’s owner and chairman Mykolo Zlochevsky (February 4), and Biden had made a further call to the Ukrainian president (February 12). These facts cry out that the immediate motivation was to stop the prosecution of Burisma..."
