Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
This answer:
Question: “What did Hunter Biden think he was getting that $7 million [from foreign entities] for?”
— MSNBC’S Joe Scarborough, Aug. 18
Answer: “He’s a capable, educated, experienced person.”
— Hunter Biden attorney Abbe Lowell
We say: If that’s the best his lawyer can do, Hunter (and Joe) Biden better pray the Justice Department keeps protecting them.
Hunter’s own business partner, Devon Archer, admits the first son was selling access.
He reportedly called it the “illusion” of access, but in plain English, foreign entities were clearly hoping their millions would buy favorable treatment by the US government.
Hunter Biden also had no experience in energy, and despite this claim, was mocked for being “dumber than my dog” by clients.
This claim:
“There’s a huge backlash against women happening right now.”
— Women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe, in The Atlantic, Tuesday
We say: No, Megan, there’s a backlash against . . . you.
People wanted to root for the US team, but you couldn’t even be bothered to stand for the anthem.
You were called out by female critics, who called your team “entitled” and said it took much for granted.
And guess what? You washed out early in the tournament.
Think fans don’t get upset at entitled-loser male athletes? Haven’t listened to much sports talk radio, have you?
This tweet:
We say: Huh? The GOP isn’t waging a culture war but resisting the left’s cultural diktats, like letting biological men play on women’s sports teams.
And what ex-Labor Secretary Robert Reich calls “worker oppression” and “wealth inequality” is just his perverse spin on capitalism, which has actually done more to uplift the poor than anything his redistributive policies have ever done.
This report:
“[In Maui, Biden] said the right things . . . He did serve as empathizer-in-chief.”
— CNN’s Bill Weir, Tuesday
We say: Obviously, Weir was observing some fake Joe Biden.
The real one was (as usual) a complete disaster in Maui — arriving days too late after refusing to offer any solace (he twice replied “no comment” when asked about the deadly wildfires), spewing lie after lie, making it all about himself, botching names and facts and promising little in the way of actual help.
He compared this massive tragedy to a minor kitchen fire in his house. No wonder Hawaiians showered him with expletives.
