DNA test shows Hunter Biden is father of Arkansas baby, court filing says
I mean, intellectually we may prefer to believe that elections matter, that we live in a representative republic. But, if we don't - and in fact, haven't for 90+ years - then what does this awareness even mean? How does it actually change our day-to-day lives? Does it suddenly mean no-knock midnight raids and gulags for conservatives? Why would these events occur now - and not before - just because the citizenry can see through the facade?
Why do we get to run up a $multi-trillion dollar national debt, which itself is a result of decades of 100 $billion annual deficits, paying for cool things like SS & medicare? It's because the dollar standard was established in 1944, and is backed by our global military operations. Do the young people getting their asses shot off in the MENA actually think they're defending the country, or does everyone understand it's purely a mercenary operation where enlisted get paid/gain experience and officers get promoted?
At a certain point, when the ability to suspend disbelief becomes compromised, each of us faces the same question: do we just go along with the flow, making hay while the sun shines, or do something? The flip side is, why would the deep state so cause such distress that a significant number would rise up? Let's agree that they're smart, clever and trained in the ways of governance. So why not let everyone have their guns, drive their cars, bitch moan and complain - just like every single day - to keep the farm animals happy?
Wow. Wonder what child support on 13.5 billion dollars would be?

I would guess Ukrainian hookers are a lot cheaper. Biden Jr. chose poorly.
GREAT connections! Thank you both. And I think you are absolutely correct, with Democrats never focus on the hand they show you, ALWAYS wonder what they have in the hand behind their backs.
The GOP will be on trial with GOP voters if it fails to present a united front in support of Trump.
Are there hearings to continue this afternoon? what time?

Templeton’s Hasenstab Winds Down $7 Billion Ukraine Bond Bet
April 22, 2017
SAN MATEO, USA — Franklin Templeton bond chief Michael Hasenstab is pulling back from one of his most contrarian bets of the past decade.
Holdings in Ukrainian sovereign debt in the flagship $40 billion Templeton Global Bond Fund he manages have dropped by half in the past year to about $1.2 billion, or 3 percent of the total portfolio, according to filings posted on the fund manager’s website.
Most of the reduction was in Ukraine’s shortest-dated bonds, maturing before the end of 2021, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
“Are there hearings to continue this afternoon? what time?”
Yes. Imminent.
“Mr. Sondland, let’s be clear: no one on this planet—not Donald Trump, Rudy Guiliani, Mick Mulvaney, Mike Pompeo—no one told you aid was tied to political investigations, is that correct.”
Gordon Sondland: “That’s correct.”
Game over
I’m glad you posted this!
Earl Blumenauer; his district includes most of Portland, Oregon east of the Willamette River. He was first elected in 1996. From 1987 to 1996 he “served” on the Portland City Council.
Rush said that this Blumenauer dirtbag has been leading a boycott of the hotel/real estate business owned by Sonerland’s wife.
Like you said, this is witness tampering!
And Blumenauer’s tweet to Sonerland this morning saying “Welcome to the Resistance” is outrageous!
There was a time when Drudge would have posted this in red...Sad he has turned.
Wonder if it will be mentioned on Fox...
Back on...
Thank you!
Thank you for starting this thread! :)
Back on... :)
Ditto that
Not a chance.
I am rooting for impeachment. I want the Senate republicans to deal with these uppity D’s and put them squarely in their place.
