Hunter Biden Burisma Smear Fails Epically!

"An FBI informant has been indicted on two counts of allegedly feeding the bureau false information about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign...
Smirnov allegedly told the FBI β€” again, falsely β€” that Burisma officials had told him they paid Hunter Biden and Joe Biden $5 million and that it would take investigators 10 years to find the illicit payments to Joe Biden."

More than anything I think this is a 'hold your fire' moment in politics. Yes, the right is fired up. There's an actual challenge in picking a candidate. people are pumping huge resources into selling the idea of electing a potential convicted felon over any reasonable candidate. Barring any unexpected development the left knows who their candidate will be. Polling will reflect a higher % of excited MAGAs because they're active. Don't start the circular firing squad in a panic.

As part of a plea deal, one of former President Donald Trump's attorneys has told prosecutors in Georgia that she was informed in the wake of the 2020 election that Donald Trump was "not going to leave" the White House -- despite the fact that he had already lost the election and most of his subsequent challenges.

I'm just going to say it. Finally. This needed to happen. Had she retired when she was clearly losing her faculties we could be celebrating her legacy of achievement first. But she held too tight to power she could no longer wield and now her passing is a relief above all else.

Maybe unpopular opinion here: I understand a lot of the backlash Boebert is getting from her recent antics. She's made a fool of herself. After basing her career on ridiculing others she's made herself the object of ridicule by behaving crudely and offensively in public.

But...

Some of the forms that ridicule she has earned are appearing in are slut-shaming and bordering on revenge porn. Hate to piss on the parade but it's making me uncomfortable.

Here's a wild story! Right wing source puts out an interview with that goes so poorly that people including Olbermann are calling it an AI hoax, saying Real America's Voice was duped. RAV stands behind interview and then an update comes out claiming a person claiming to be RAV's owner who said he'd investigate if three interview was really is the actual imposter.

As has been observed, the Georgia indictments sting in larger part because even if gets elected he will have no power to pardon anyone convicted in Georgia. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes.

So I wondered what's to stop a corrupt enough Georgia governor from doing the pardoning for him? What I found at the link below is that it isn't that easy. To start, pardon applicants have to finish their sentence and wait 5 years to apply

magistrate has ordered no contact to witnesses in this case about this case.

Aww. There won't be a mugshot. Lester Holt reporting they'll upload an existing photo into his file

I know what it really means. But every time I see TFG I still read it as That Fucking Guy.

Good explainer why Judge Cannon must recuse and why, if somehow she doesn't, there's little room for her to spoil this case.
