How many felony convictions does Biden have? Yes, his kid owns a laptop, but that`s still legal.

The house report on Biden was disgusting. You must be ashamed to have voted for this guy.

"First and foremost, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden
participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family. Among
other aspects of this conspiracy, the Biden family and their business associates received tens of
millions of dollars from foreign interests by leading those interests to believe that such payments
would provide them access to and influence with President Biden. As Vice President, President
Biden actively participated in this conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his
family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on
speakerphone by Hunter Biden. For example, in 2014, Vice President Biden attended a dinner for
Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina.4
Following the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5
million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a firm associated with Hunter Biden.5
Then, months later,
as Hunter Biden and his business associates continued to solicit more money from Baturina, Vice
President Biden participated in a phone call with Baturina and Hunter Biden where Vice
President Biden told Baturina, “you be good to my boy.”6
Moreover, President Biden knowingly
participated in this conspiracy. Based on the totality of the evidence, it is inconceivable that
President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by
abusing his office of public trust.
The evidence also establishes that the Biden family went to great lengths to conceal this"

I have disproven the two main tenets of your argument. One, that the dossier was the primary driver for requesting the FISA warrant against Page. Two, the FISA court was unaware of the nature of the dossier. Neither of those assertions are true.

Odd how I don't seem to remember making those arguments.

Elon Musk signals he’ll go beyond supporting Trump to serve as his political enforcer​

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A week after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, Elon Musk said his political action committee would “play a significant role in primaries.”

The following week, the billionaire responded to a report that he might fund challengers to GOP House members who don’t support Trump’s nominees. “How else? There is no other way,” Musk wrote on X, which he rebranded after purchasing Twitter and moving to boost conservative voices, including his own.

Elon Musk signals he'll go beyond supporting Trump to serve as his political enforcer​

Within Trump's team, there is a feeling that Musk not only supports Trump's agenda and Cabinet appointments, but is intent on seeing them through to the point of pressuring Republicans who may be less devout.

What if a favorite Repub bogeyman, George Soros, had made such a huge contribution and received such a huge reward? What if Soros had biz with the government over which he was given power like Musk has? I'm speaking of the $3B+ in defense contracts Musk has with the DoD. Would that be okay with you?

Would it be okay if a figure like Musk was currying favor with the prez-elect when he had such a clear financial interest for doing so?

Did you oppose Soros bankrolling prosecutors to "get Trump" and selectively enforce the law?

I'm afraid you've fallen for another smear campaign coming as a result of Bragg's office indicting trump.

In the wake of a Manhattan grand jury’s historic decision to indict Donald Trump, the former president and some other prominent Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have invoked liberal billionaire George Soros in their attacks on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump claimed in a statement that Bragg was “hand-picked and funded by George Soros.”

Here are the facts.

Soros, a longtime supporter of Democratic campaigns, various liberal causes and prosecutors who favor criminal justice reform, has been a frequent target of antisemitic conspiracy theories painting the Jewish philanthropist as a puppetmaster behind various US and international events. Soros did not make any direct contributions to Bragg’s 2021 election campaign, and a Soros spokesperson, Michael Vachon, told CNN last week that the two men have never once communicated in any way.

Rather, Soros’s connection to Bragg is indirect: he has been a major donor to a liberal political action committee that supported Bragg’s candidacy. A spokesperson for the PAC denounced the Soros-related attacks on Bragg in an interview with CNN last week, calling them “antisemitic,” “anti-Black” and an overstatement of both Soros’s role in the PAC’s decision-making and the PAC’s role in Bragg’s election victory.

Trump and His Picks Threaten More Lawsuits Over Critical Coverage​

The legal threats have arrived in various forms. One aired on CNN. Another came over the phone. More arrived in letters or emails.

All of them appeared aimed at intimidating news outlets and others who have criticized or questioned President-elect Donald J. Trump and his nominees to run the Pentagon and F.B.I.

The small flurry of threatened defamation lawsuits is the latest sign that the incoming Trump administration appears poised to do what it can to crack down on unfavorable media coverage. Before and after the election, Mr. Trump and his allies have discussed subpoenaing news organizations, prosecuting journalists and their sources, revoking networks’ broadcast licenses and eliminating funding for public radio and television.

Actual or threatened libel lawsuits are another weapon at their disposal — and they are being deployed even before Mr. Trump moves back into the White House.

I believe he should be prosecuted for committing the crimes he committed. Nothing more, nothing less.

He didn't commit any crimes, Stalinberg.
Why don't you fuck off already.

Oh, the Democrats' pathetic made-up crimes whose kangaroo court prosecutions were solely designed to interfere in the American election?

I bet you thought you had a point,

The point being you're a lying sack of shit who doesn't understand the difference between contributing to a PAC and "buying DA's" like Soros was accused of doing. If you have a problem with people contributing to PAC's to support causes they believe in you better get busy condemning Charles Koch.

For that matter, any problem with Musk contributing 1/4 of a billion to trump and now having a powerful position in the admin? Of course not, that's different............right?

Trump sues Des Moines Register over poll, promises more lawsuits against news outlets after ABC News settlement​

The announcement Saturday that ABC has agreed to commit $15 million toward President-elect Donald Trump's presidential foundation to settle a defamation lawsuit was a rare victory for Trump in years of lawsuits against news organizations.

In the settlement's aftermath, Trump said Monday at a news conference in Florida that he planned to sue the Des Moines Register over a poll and vowed to continue filing suits against news outlets whom he's long accused of bias. He followed through with that threat later Monday morning, records show, filing against the newspaper in Polk County, Iowa.

Trump complained at the press conference that the pollster, J. Ann Selzer, "said I was going to lose by three or four points," after previous Iowa surveys showed he'd win the state easily, "by 20 points." Trump won the state by 13 points.

Even the orange dotard knows it's a frivolous suit. He's doing it for the affect it will have on the media. He wants to silence critics so he and his fellow billionaires can bilk the rubes.

House Republicans to Offer New Plan to Avoid a Shutdown​

• 
  
• House Republican leaders are offering a new proposal to avert a shutdown, a day after President-elect Donald J. Trump torpedoed a spending deal that House Speaker Mike Johnson struck with Democrats. Among the provisions in the proposal, according to a person familiar with it, is an extension of funding at the current level through mid-March, and a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling. If a spending deal is not passed, government funding lapses at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
• Mr. Johnson has been holed up in his Capitol office on Thursday, meeting with fellow House Republicans and searching for a way to avoid a shutdown. Vice President-elect JD Vance has been in and out of the meetings, which followed Mr. Trump’s call for Republicans to oppose the bipartisan deal and his veiled threat to the speaker.

His fellow Republicans are cowards – they’ll be responsible for any shutdown.
