Its beautiful. 9 full minutes of the media lying straight to everyones faces saying Biden would not pardon Hunter. Its was held up as a clear mirror against Trump and a sign of the moral superiority and commitment to the rule of law of Biden and Democrats. And then, POOF, its all gone. Just amazing.

This is the bigger point thats being missed right now. Everyone is focusing on the crimes, but not the pardon. By pardoning Hunter starting in January of 2014, that covers the entire time he was on the board for Burisma. All that talk about that being nothing more than a witch hunt sure seems like crap now. No need to pardon him for something that wasnt a crime, unless it was a crime and the knew it so now they are covering their tracks. The Biden family has been corrupt for a long time, and this pardon is them openly admitting as such.

Its rather fun watching Dems twist themselves over this one. Some are at least openly admitting that this is pure partisan hackery, but others are trying to blame bad orange man.

Lol, love the splice name. Biden does something, so of course its Trumps fault. Trump really broke you all didnt he?

We have our answer The WH has denied that this was ever going to happen, and KJP has been lying for months about this, but this was the obvious answer to the Hunter Biden question. He was always going to get a pardon the second it became politically viable to do so. Sets a fun precedent now to.

While thats a fair question, the simple answer is that Harris was just an awful candidate who couldnt even do basic interviews. Its why she never did a single press conference during her entire campaign, why she didnt do any sort of interview until way to late in the game to change anything, and its the primary reason she wouldnt go on a podcast like Joe Rogan. She cant be left alone in an interview for more than a few minutes without turning into word salad, an hour would have been a disaster.

Kamala Harris Campaign Aides Suggest Campaign Was Just Doomed https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala-harris-campaign-polls_n_67462013e4b0fffc5a469baf "Plouffe said the campaign’s internal polling never had Harris ahead of Trump. “We didn’t get the breaks we needed on Election Day,” he said. “I think it surprised people, because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw.”" Turns out that this race may never have actually been as close as the public pollsters had everyone believing. Even the Harris internal polls never gave her a chance to win. Now that the race is over the real story is starting to come out, and its going be wild reading.

Follow up: Chinese Ship Suspected of Deliberately Dragging Anchor for 100 Miles to Cut Baltic Cables https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/chinese-ship-suspected-of-deliberately-dragging-anchor-for-100-miles-to-cut-baltic-cables-395f65d1?mod=hp_lead_pos4 "A Chinese commercial vessel that has been surrounded by European warships in international waters for a week is central to an investigation of suspected sabotage that threatens to test the limits of maritime law—and heighten tensions between Beijing and European capitals. Investigators suspect that the Yi Peng 3 bulk carrier—225 meters long, 32 meters wide and loaded with Russian fertilizer—deliberately severed two critical data cables last week as its anchor was dragged along the Baltic seabed for over 100 miles. Their probe now centers on whether the captain of the Chinese-owned ship, which departed the Russian Baltic port of Ust-Luga on Nov. 15, was induced by Russian intelligence to carry out the sabotage. It would be the latest in a series of attacks on Europe’s critical infrastructure that law-enforcement and intelligence officials say have been orchestrated by Russia. “It’s extremely unlikely that the captain would not have noticed that his ship dropped and dragged its anchor, losing speed for hours and cutting cables on the way,” said a senior European investigator involved in the case." So yea, WTF China? That ship should be impounded and the crew should be tried in court. Send a clear message to China that this isnt going to be allowed.

Media: X has turned into a right-wing website CNN: actually, its pretty ideologically even Thats the funny part of this whole thing. The Left was so used to having complete ideological dominance in social media that the second it becomes even closed to balanced they think its a right-wing website. They are just so used to confirmation bias that the slightest sign of a differing opinion has them fleeing to a safe space where only their ideology is allowed to speak.

Israel set to okay 60-day Lebanon truce, but pledges to act against Hezbollah https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-set-to-okay-60-day-lebanon-truce-tuesday-but-pledges-to-act-against-hezbollah/ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene the high-level security cabinet in Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening to approve a 60-day ceasefire with the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon after more than a year of war, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Monday. At the same time, the official stressed that Israel was accepting a cessation of hostilities, not an end to the war on Hezbollah. “We don’t know how long it will last,” the official said of the ceasefire. “It could be a month, it could be a year.” Lebanese sources told Reuters on Monday that US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron were expected to announce a ceasefire imminently. In Washington, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said, “We’re close,” but “nothing is done until everything is done.” 60 days is interesting, because that also lines up pretty closely with the Trump inauguration. Israel has been remarkably effective at taking out Hezbollah. Their beeper attack, decapitation strikes on leadership, and understanding of where Hezbollah key assets were has been pretty remarkable. Hezbollah bas been pushed back from the Israeli border. With a peace deal in place this also frees up Israeli troops to keep hunting down Hamas.

Lol After everything, its Trump that winds up getting Gaetz out of Congress.

It wasnt. There are multiple videos out there where during the fight Tyson clearly had a chance to land a major punch but he pulled back. Pretty clear this was just staged.

Really have to question why China would potentially jump into this mess by cutting these cables. Supporting via supplies is one thing, but out right destroying infrastructure is a whole other ball game. Technically, you could call it a declaration of war. NATO wont, but technically they could.

Bo Nix Thats it, thats the post.

Its truly a golden age of Memes again

Apparently its not just Disney coming back to X.

Well, this explains why Iran freaked the fuck out after the last attack. To the world it looked minimal, but Israel apparently hit a nuclear weapons facility in Iran. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/15/iran-israel-destroyed-active-nuclear-weapons-research-facility The site was an undeclared nuclear site, so it was fair game for Israel to hit it. Iran cant complain about the attack without admitting that they have undeclared nuclear facilities in the country, something which violates a whole lot of laws and treaties. The "limited" Israeli attack turns out to have been a whole lot bigger than anyone at the time thought.

Colorado's Democratic governor cheers RFK Jr. pick for HHS https://www.axios.com/local/denver/2024/11/14/jared-polis-democrat-governor-rfk-jr-hhs "What he's saying: Kennedy "will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA," Polis said in a Thursday statement on X. "What I'm most optimistic about is taking on Big Pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health." The intrigue: Polis appeared aware that his statement would be controversial. He asked people to dive deeper into the issues "before you mock him or disagree." In a subsequent social media post, Polis backtracked, saying he "will hold any HHS secretary to the same high standard of protecting and improving public health."" For all the pearl clutching at RFK, this actually is a pick that easily could have bi-partisan support. RFK is very skeptical of Big Pharma and their ability to hide from lawsuits, thinks the Gov should be able to negotiate prices, and thinks Americans should be able to import drugs from Canada. All points that a lot of Liberals make. He also is a huge champion against processed food, and thinks Obesity is our biggest health crisis. He gets a lot of shit, but hes also pretty spot on with a lot of whats causing health problems in this country. Ultra processed foods, artificial sweeteners and colors, all sorts of chemicals in our food. These are generally bad for you. Im very excited to see what he can do to help fight back on these problems.

Called it. All we are waiting for is the official pull of the nomination. Hes not getting the job.
