Hunter Biden’s lawyer filed an ethics complaint in the House of Representatives on Friday against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for reaching a “new level of abhorrent behavior” after she displayed sexually explicit pictures of him during a hearing Wednesday.

        That’s not how it works. It’s explicitly NOT how that works. That’s the entire reason revenge porn laws exist.

        What you are claiming, would be equivalent to sending a nude to someone and then them posting it online and because you consented in the first to send it to them they’re okay to repost it. That’s literally revenge porn.

        You numpty.

      hunter biden matters to republicans because he’s the only thing they can hang on joe biden, who has been honestly masterful in the way he’s navigated the late and post-pandemic.

        I honestly don’t understand why they act like Joe Biden is the only politician with a child who has addiction issues and/or failed relationships. Donald Trump Jr. is also divorced and has had alcohol addiction problems. During the Biden/Trump debates I almost wanted Biden to mention Don Jr’s problems since Don Sr kept bringing up Hunter, but fortunately familial attacks are beneath Biden.

          I honestly don’t understand

          you’re still assuming good faith. stop it. they’re not interested in developing a well-rounded worldview and a rational approach to solving the problems that face America. They’re interested in seizing as much power as possible and hurting their opponents as much as possible. Once you realize that, their actions start to make perfect sense. Acting like Joe Biden is the only politician with a problem child serves that end. Ignoring Don Jr’s obvious coke and booze habit serves that end. There is no guiding philosophy to them, no principles they serve, no basis of human decency in which they even pretend to embed themselves. They’ve gone full Lee Atwater: they know who they’re enemies are and they’ll hurt everyone as long as their enemies get hurt too.

            People’s mistake is thinking fascism is an evil ideology that uses any tactics necessary to achieve its goals.

            What they don’t realize is that “ideology” and “tactics” need to be reversed in this statement: fascism is a cynical tactic that uses any ideology necessary to achieve its goals.

            It will hate groomers on Tuesday and find grooming “the only way to raise responsible, patriotic citizens” on that same exact Tuesday, later in the afternoon.

            It will hate nepotism and family connections in the same breath as it calls Ivanka “smart” for wielding her presidential clout to enrich herself.

            It will defend the sanctitude of the life belonging to a fetus right up until the main threats to that fetus are poor access to medical care, financial stress leading to miscarriages, and our unsustainable car infrastructure killing off pregnant mothers right alongside every other type of person. THOSE fetuses were killed by the laws of nature of course, (and they certainly lack a level of sanctity that competes with Americans’ right to be forced to drive twenty minutes to the nearest grocery store and ninety minutes to their place of employment on threat of homelessness. That “right” is inviolable.)

            There’s no ideology here. No utopia on the map. No belief about how to improve society. There is merely the last, dying , defiant warcry of a certain subset of corporations. A subset that profits more from maintaining underclasses than they do from providing a product to a stable society. A subset that needs to keep reminding black people that if they don’t like working for dirt wages at Amazon, they can always get the police involved and die with a police officer’s knee on their neck.

            And the question isn’t, “can our ideology defeat theirs?” Because there was never a single belief to defeat in the first place. The question here is “can democracy survive?”

            And so far, it’s holding up better than it did in Italy and Germay. 1930s Germany wouldn’t have thrown the Patriot Front in jail. Wouldn’t have convicted the Wolverine Watchmen, either. Certainly wouldn’t be prosecuting the Proud Boys who showed up to Jan 6.

              Thanks for saying what needs to be said over and over.

              My concern is this is all going on the slow cooker. Sending proud boys to prison so they can be trained into better terrorists for next time. The right wingers who were willing to take decisive action were able to organize, meet up, and commit violence against democracy while our surveillance state did… Essentially nothing to prevent it?

        A more plausible explanation is that a visitor on a tour brought it and left it there, and Occam’s Razor says that the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.

        But that doesn’t feed your insane narrative about Biden Crime Family, so I can see why you’d rather live in a fantasy world where you feel vindicated for having bad opinions.

          It’s more plausible that some random someone on a tour left their cocaine in a place they weren’t returning to rather than someone with regular access left their stash for later.

          Ok, I guess.

            Because people high on drugs are known for their excellent decision making and clear-mindedness, right?

            Regardless, whoever left it there probably didn’t intend to leave it there. Maybe they left it in there along with their cell phone (which gets checked at the west wing entrance when you go in for a tour) and then forgot to grab it when they went to leave.

            I guess we’ll never know, since the investigation closed with zero suspects.

            I thought the fbi, cia and all the other 3 letter agencies were just Astral projections from the lizard people living one floor up on the flat-earth?

            These chemtrails keep making my brain hurt. the more I think about Jewish space lasers disrupting our electoral process and stealing the election for the Biden crime family, the more I get disgusted by their feverish use of adrenochrome.

            Anyway, I ran out of tropes to mock you with. Have a great day.

        Yeah. We are not in a good place to deal with AI propaganda and the consequences of climate change.

        We let pond scum take too much power and wealth because none of us wanted to become politicans, union leaders and protest organisers.

      Taking a private citizens’s nudes and sharing it against their will in congress may go against the spirit of that clause. I would love to see how this holds up in court.

    One side uses a distraction. It gets full media attention. People get involved. People get angry. People start blaming each other. Then, the other side counters with a distraction. It gets even more heated. This time it’s personal. There might even be consequences. Maybe…

    Why the fuck are you eating all this rotting shit those out of touch, self-absorbed, greedy, attention-seeking Partisans are serving you?

            I’m not a US citizen. I don’t care for your celebrity obsessions and gossip. I just don’t understand why shit like this is making news, let alone being part of your political life. Or lawcrafting… Let me remind you, we are not talking about making laws, we are talking about naked pictures of some dude…

                Yes, and by giving it any kind of attention you’re basically promoting this kind of behavior in your political institutions. And then, after few years you wonder why your political landscape is full of reality-tv-show clowns. It’s “Keeping up with Kardassians” but with diplomatic immunity. And I’m talking about both of your political spectra, not just the one easy target.
