The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

When even the WaPoo has to say this:
washingtonpost.com - Hunter biden special counsel appointment

Hunter Biden shouldn't get special treatment

Spoiler alert: He already has, but their readers wouldn't know that.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Friday his appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware as special counsel in the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden, President Biden's son. This was the right move. It should encourage Americans that the process will be independent and transparent and, therefore, that it is more likely to be fair.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! If he needed to be a special counsel now, why *didn't* he need to be a special counsel way back before the statute of limitations expired on a number of his charges? LOL. That's some stellar logic.

Anyways:
Special counsels should not be appointed lightly. They have tended to overspend and overreach. One temptation in the Hunter Biden case might be to investigate the president himself, as many of his critics wish. So far, the record suggests President Biden's behavior was not spotless ' but also not criminal.

So we've gone from

This laptop has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation!
Okay, so the laptop is real, but so what? Lots of middle aged men wave guns around and smoke crack!
Okay, so Hunter has a pile of money from foreign interests. There's nothing to see there and Joe Biden has absolutely nothing to do with it!
Okay, so Joe Biden had something to do with is and his behavior is not spotless - but you can't prove nothin' illegal went on!!!

LOL@them.
