Spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan and his buddies James Comer and Jason Smith on Tuesday released their ominously-titled “THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT’S DEVIATIONS FROM STANDARD PROCESSES IN ITS INVESTIGATION OF HUNTER BIDEN” interim staff report on the “Weaponization” side of their circlejerk, 78 pages of gratingly boring, minute details of the long-running criminal probe in which Hunter Biden did actually end up getting charged this year.

From the get-go they acknowledge that it all started in November 2018, while their Orange God Emperor was still in office, overseeing the Justice Department with that bald asshole whats-his-name as the Acting Attorney General and then with Bill Barr. It’s not until page 22 that the word “Trump” actually shows up – and it’s the only mention that isn’t some news story URL in a footnote:

“The Committees have obtained information showing that the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware under the leadership of David Weiss also deviated from standard operating procedure to the benefit of Hunter Biden. Although Weiss was initially appointed by President Trump, he was recommended for the position by Delaware’s two Democratic senators, Tom Carper and Chris Coons. In 2021, the Biden Administration asked Weiss to stay on as US Attorney. Weiss had previously been appointed as interim US Attorney in Delaware during the Obama Administration, and had ‘often’ worked with Hunter Biden’s brother, Beau Biden, during Beau Biden’s tenure as Attorney General of Delaware. While Weiss was registered as a Republican, Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf, who played a central role in the Hunter Biden investigation, had donated to Democrat campaigns. In a state dominated politically by the Biden family, these facts are not insignificant.”

A Virginia judge on Monday tossed two felony counts – making a false statement and corrupt conduct – against the former Registrar of Elections in Prince William County after a witness changed his story claiming the official, Michelle White, had fucked around with something in the months before and after the 2020 election, the AP reports. White, who abruptly resigned in 2021 with no explanation, still faces trial on a misdemeanor charge of willful neglect of duty next month.

The utter void of publicly available details and the fact that Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares and not a local prosecutor who in September 2022 brought the case against White – who oversaw voting in the wealthy, populous DC-area county that Joe Biden won 62 to 35 percent in 2020 – has naturally led to a frenzied MAGA circlejerk, with asshole John Solomon’s website reporting just last week that White had “altered election results.” That was probably based on this one jerkoff witness’s story, so we’d love to know more about him and how whatever the “willful neglect of duty” was got turned into a full-blown conspiracy to steal the election from Trump.

The Northumberland County, Pennsylvania chapter of far right Karen group Moms for Liberty announced Monday they would split from the national organization after finding out that Florida-based co-founder Bridget Ziegler is bisexual because her husband is under criminal investigation for allegedly raping their shared girlfriend, the Shamokin, Pennsylvania News-Item reports.

“The journey has always been the strength of our local community and we found all the support we need among us We are going to continue to champion parental rights with dignity and integrity. It’s hard to advocate for parental rights when the co-founder is caught up in the scandal,” chapter chair Clarissa Paige told the paper. “Our values are not aligning with the national organization.”

Some people may disagree on whether it’s worth it for Democrats to be sending George Santos $200 to make these kinds of “endorsements” and other certain messages. Those people are wrong.

A new national survey of voters 18 to 29 by the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics among finds a small drop in enthusiasm since the same point in 2019 for Democrats in the bracket, with those saying they will “definitely vote” down to 66 from 68 percent, Axios reports.

Among Republicans 18 to 29 the decline is steeper: 66 percent in the fall of 2019 to 56 in 2023. The poll also found Biden leading Trump by 11 percent among 18 to 29 year olds in a head-to-head. What the actual number is we don’t know because stupid Axios didn’t include it in their report. They did however include that Biden leads Trump 29 to 25 percent when RFK Jr (10 percent), Cornel West (3 percent), and Joe Manchin (2 percent, lol) are added to the mix, with 31 percent undecided.

Not great, considering Biden won the youth vote by 26 percent in 2020 and Democrats won it by 37 percent in 2022. Still far from the fucking bleak picture the circlejerkers at Emerson would have you believe with their Trump 45 – Biden 43 among 18 to 29s finding in their bullshit October poll. Biden’s ceiling is far higher among younger voters and the challenge in 2024 is much more about getting them to show up than it is with trying to win over the relative few affirmatively on Team MAGA.

A Sunday NRCC fundraising email attributed to Speaker Mike Johnson railed against the moral decay of American society that you kind of have to read to believe the shit this maniac “wrote”:

“I’m uneasy, Patriot. This is Speaker Mike Johnson, and I just had to send this email. I’ve been thinking about the state of our country, and I cannot conclude anything other than America is hanging on by a thread. Our culture has fallen so far since the founding of our country, and it’s just getting worse. I fear America may be beyond redemption. Just consider the frightening drop in church attendance over the past several decades. 1 in 4 high school students identifies as something other than straight – what are they being taught in school? God is mocked openly in the public square. And you don’t even want to see the filth that passes for popular culture these days.”

“Let’s face it – we live in a depraved culture. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins. The only question is, is He going to give us one more chance to restore our foundations and return to Him? I hope so, but we are teetering close to the edge. I need to know Patriot. Does America need more God? Will you respond to this urgent question as soon as possible? America needs to recognize that we have much to repent for if we want to avoid the judgment we so clearly deserve, but that starts with returning America to God’s good graces once again. Will you do me a favor and answer this one question for me, Patriot? Does America need more God?” said the body of the email, repeatedly interspersed with links reading “DOES AMERICA NEED MORE GOD? RESPOND NOW.”

China has played with Moody’s emotions for far too long and will now face the consequences with a swing in their credit rating as the need to plug holes in local finance “broad downside risks to China’s fiscal, economic and institutional strength. The outlook change also reflects the increased risks related to structurally and persistently lower medium-term economic growth,” the AP reports.

NBC News reports that the first letters have landed in Washington mailboxes that include screening information for potential jurors in the DC federal criminal trial of cult leader and rapist Donald Trump for his role in trying to overturn the Constitution, the first step in determining a jury pool for the trial, slated to start early next year.  The prescreening letters include a requirement that they can come to the courthouse on February 9th for additional prescreening for a trial scheduled to start March 4th, the date Judge Tanya Chutkan has set for the start of Trump’s federal trial in DC.

Apparent minor, but majorly ironic, filing in the Trump case:  The Special Counsel’s office filed notice with the court Monday night of its filing through CISA, the official designated to handle classified information, of its motion to oppose Donald Trump’s desire to use classified information in his case.  This time, it seems, Trump wants permission to disclose classified information that he claims (1) he didn’t have and (2) wasn’t classified, and the Government continues to say no.

Moments after police executed a search warrant at a rowhome in Arlington, Virginia–the target and the cause of the warrant are unknown at the moment–the home disintegrated in a huge explosion.  Arlington Fire Department is on the scene.  More information will be updated as available.  (Video from Mosche Schwarz of YWN.)

UPDATE 9:58 p.m. ET:  According to WUSA CBS-9 in Washington, neighbors were told to shelter in place as police executed the warrant, during which the suspect fired a flare gun which somehow triggered the explosion.  Amazingly, officials say no one was seriously hurt and only minor injuries have been reported.

Oh, the plight of Trump’s lawyers!  First, his current team misses a key filing deadline, and now, his former lawyer/current co-defendant Rudy Giuliani takes a major hit in his own federal civil defamation suit brought by Fulton County election workers Shaye Moss and Rudy Freeman.  (Seriously, the spider web of legal involving this cabal would be thick enough to stop a Buick.) According to MSNBC, Giuliani sought to eliminate the jury in the portion of the trial to determine damages, instead seeking a bench judgment.

See, this is a trial Rudy already lost despite using a unique legal strategy of conceding to the entire account of the plaintiffs, but claiming he had a First Amendment right to defame the civil election workers.  Perhaps Rudy thinks a judge will not be as punitive as a jury of citizens who will watch evidence of him repeatedly slandering the women in thinly veiled racist terms.

You would think House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer would be feeling pretty good right now that he has the Bidens right where he wants them after that devastating “bombshell” 🚨🚨🚨 evidence showing that Joe Biden was involved Hunter’s scams. Instead here he is yelling, pretty angrily, at a Newsmax host that getting repaid on a loan really means that Joe “benefitted directly.”

When Donald Trump’s lawyers notified the New York State Appeals Court that they intended to file a request for a speedy hearing to challenge the gag order in New York’s $250 million civil fraud case, the clerk of the court informed them that they had already missed the key Monday morning deadline to file to get on the week’s docket, information that sparked an impromptu hearing of its own in the clerk’s office, the Washington Post reports (gift article).

Trump attorney Clifford Robert and Christopher Kise attempted to tell the lawyer for the court that the motion didn’t have to be docketed, but instead could heard at the first opportunity by one judge, to which the lawyer responded “Nuh uh” (paraphrasing), and that per court rules, the motion had to be heard by a panel of judges.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may move this week to revoke the bail of former Kanye West publicist Trevian Kutti, indicted in August alongside fat former President Trump and his other minions for her part in the harassment campaign attempting to coerce election worker Ruby Freeman into falsely confess to being part of plot to steal the 2020 election in Georgia, CNN reports.

The crew at Meidas Touch found Kutti had posted an Instagram video last week saying she was going to “fuck [Freeman’s] whole life up,” a clear violation of her bond terms, to which Georgia legal expert Anthony Michael Kreis tweeted is much more damning than what Kutti’s similarly psychotic accomplice Harrison Floyd had posted prior to getting hauled into court by Willis last month. “Folks have asked why would she be much more likely to get remanded when Harrison Floyd has his bond conditions strengthened – his conduct, though plainly stupid, is nothing when compared to what Trevian Kutti appears to have done. These are different situations entirely,” Kreis wrote.

After tens of millions of dollars in settlements already involving everyone from Roger Ailes to Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Fox cable propaganda network is being hit with another sexual harassment lawsuit:  Former Fox employee Andrew Delancey accuses Justin Wells, a former producer for Tucker Carlson’s canceled show, of grabbing his genitals after Delancey was hired in 2008, and when he tried to pursue a complaint, his superiors dissuaded him from pursuing it, according to the Washington Post.

Filed last month in New York State court just before the deadline for suits under the state’s Adult Survivors Act, the lawsuit accuses Wells of assault and battery and Fox of sexual harassment and negligence, which fits the style of management for the company run by Ailes and starring Bill “Falafel” O’Reilly, featuring Matt Schlap.

I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems.

So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give ‘Bobby from Jersey’ some advice. pic.twitter.com/y8iX55EyNi

On Monday Semafor’s Kadia Goba reported the now-former Congressman George Santos was charging that amount for custom video greetings just like the one above to “Bobby from Jersey.”

The New York Times reports that Israeli Defense Force troops have started a ground offensive into Gaza, launching a major new chapter in the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israeli settlements that resulted in the death of an estimated, 1,200 people.

The headline may seem a bit wacky or exaggerated but trust us, it really isn’t. Watch the video. This fucking idiot says not once, but twice that the Biden White House suppressed the Hunter laptop story before the 2020 election. It was Trump’s Justice Department that “killed” it by telling Twitter and Facebook that it was hacked material that violated the platforms’ policies.

We’re actually like at least an hour late getting on this newest implosion for House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer’s “evidence” of Biden “corruption.” It took way less time than that for the Huffington Post’s Yashar Ali to comb through the documents found on Hunter Biden’s laptop of all places to find records matching Hunter’s three $1,380 payments made in the fall of 2018 matching up with a spreadsheet showing he was paying his dad back for money he had previously fronted to cover his lease or finance payments for a truck. The best part? “My source is an NY Post article about Hunter’s finances and emails from the Hunter Biden email archive,” Ali writes.

It’s worth asking at this point if this is going to be counterproductive, the “productive” part of that word doing a lot of lifting, for the latest push to finally at the very least formalize the impeachment inquiry. It’s a game of inches on whether they can even get that part of it passed, like single digits either way, and this fucking idiot Comer just further discredited himself with this gratingly petty bullshit that Hunter laptop aficionados already knew about. He’s supposed to be making the skeptical “moderates” feel like the “evidence” justifies it and this is objectively worse than nothing.

The fourth paragraph of a story at the website of Charlotte, North Carolina-area ABC affiliate WSOC-TV reads, emphasis ours, all else verbatim: “A warrant for the home was issued, and another search was conducted. A second search revealed methamphetamine, prescription pills, marijuana wax, a weapon of mass destruction, drug paraphernalia, and marijuana drug paraphernalia.”

The story made no effort to otherwise elaborate on the nature of the “weapon of mass destruction” found at a home occupied by some hicks named Wendy Benfield and Samuel Price in the town of Statesville. The only other mention is among the charges against Price. We get that there’s been movement to legislate fentanyl to be legally considered a WMD, because it can and has been deployed to that effect. We would even bet that’s the case here and some lazy asshole at WSOC just copied and pasted the charges from the sheriff’s arrest report. Price’s bail is only $7,500, so it’s probably not a nuclear bomb or anthrax or whatever he had on him. Probably.
