Since Hunter is pardoned for everything going back 10 years to Burisma, can all the information about the Biden crime family now be made public? There's no "active investigation" excuse.

If Kash releases all the documents the FBI has hidden from the public - JFK assassination, Epstein lists, Hillary's Russia collusion hoax - there will be a decade of factual political intrigue books and movies topping any fictional blockbusters - House of Cards, Day of the Jackal, Bourne Identity, Tom Clancy novels...

I wasn't surprised Hunter was pardoned, but was still bothered that the Bidens got away with their racketeering once again. However, your suggestion is a really good one. That is, pursue and prosecute everyone who was complicit in the Biden family racketeering crimes. They didn't do it alone. Put Hunter on the witness stand a hundred times if necessary for testimony. Perjury is a crime for which he is NOT protected. It will showcase just how slimy and crooked that family is. I also hope we spend a lot of time chasing Hillary. She is worse than the Bidens. I want her to be found guilty and get some jail time. I also want her to die penniless.

Biden isn’t off the hook yet.

He was a senator for decades and his illegal behavior as President and VP wasn’t acquired overnight. There is stuff there. Just requires some effort and digging.

Penniless seems too heavy a burden, when it comes on top of being charmless.

However, I'm quite sure that revealing all that dirty laundry will increase the Trump/Vance team's popularity.

"Add William Barr to that list for failing to reveal that he was in possession of Hunter’s laptop as early as the fall of 2019. Of course, it was crammed with exculpatory evidence that could have ended impeachment No. 1 on day one of the initial hearings, yet he never alerted President’s lawyers to its existence...

"And also, for the effrontery of allowing Jeffrey Epstein to be killed in his Manhattan jail, and never offering the public a coherent account of how the cameras on the cellblock failed, or why the guards who fell asleep on-duty were disciplined with only 100 hours of 'community service.'

FTA: "Pence was a trustworthy if boring vice president. However, he was in on the coverup of the Election Night steal and refused to declare the election void on January 6, as the law allowed at the time."

Trustworthy to whom?

Expand full comment

Pence was directly involved in firing Mike Flynn after that Day 3 FBI ambush by Peter Strzok. Then & there, his true nature became clear.

Expand full comment

When Pence was governor of Indiana, his legislature passed a freedom of religion bill which would have stopped the alphabet crowd from suing bakers, florists, photographers, etc from being forced to provide services to events which ran counter to their religious beliefs. Pence signed the bill and the alphabet crowd came after him big time, so he “unsigned” it.

I never trusted him after he did that and was hugely disappointed when Trump chose him for VP.

The most cowardly action of a governor I have ever seen. When DJT picked him, I wondered "who has the dirt on whom?" He is a cowardly worm. He hides behind faith instead of living it.

The Pence name is now relegated to Indiana politics and may not survive that gig.

There's no place in this world for back stabbers. They're hated by honest and dishonest people alike.

Pence was a back stabber - like Chris Christie - like Jeff Sessions - Bill Barr. The list goes on.

I’m disappointed that Matt Gaetz - a human middle finger to the Deep State - didn’t make it out of the starting gate as PDJT’s pick for Attorney General. Agreed, Pam Bondi is hotter and will sail through confirmation, but Gaetz could’ve opened up a can of sunshine in the District of Criminals that would’ve left empty heads missing the tops of their skulls up and down the Acela corridor. I’ll happily settle for Pete, Tulsi, Bobby and Kash Patel. Kash might be as tough of a honey badger as Steve Bannon. And the Czars are lining up nicely - Tom Homan and Steve Miller and their trebuchet, with a rumor heard that twice wronged candidate Kari Lake as the Election Integrity Czar. I’m hopeful that after 1/20 Matt Gaetz is named as DOJ Special Prosecutor and gets to wield that blowtorch without Senate confirmation. President Trump’s 2nd term and 2025 are lit, and they haven’t even started yet. Tee hee!

I heard someone speculate that Gaetz could get appointed as a Special Prosecutor. That could be fun!!! Or, I'd also LOVE to see DeSantis appoint him to fill Rubio's Senate seat vacancy so that the Senate has to see him in their midst every day. That would also be fun!

12/02/24: Let's not count our chickens until they hatch. And the beauty of it all is that Matt Gaetz is available for a slew of excellent jobs where his slash-and-burn style will be the 7th Cavalry. His withdrawn nomination might be a blessing in disguise.

Little Castro bent the knee to DJT last weekend. Canada thought that NAFTA, Jr would save them. Unfortunately for Canada, they were wrongly informed. From Sundance: Lighthizer and Trump were more than happy to sign a bilateral agreement with Mexico, without Canada, and then later turn to another bilateral trade agreement with Canada that took out the NAFTA loophole that Justin depended upon exploiting.

Canada was screwed. If they didn’t sign up to the trilateral (North American) USMCA then a bilateral trade deal with Team Trump would be even worse for their interests, with even more details that would restrict U.S-Canada trade terms in favor of the USA.

The outcome? Canada essentially signed on to a bilateral agreement between the USA and Mexico with almost no input on the construct from the Canadian side of the deal. Justin and Chrystia had to pretend they were an influential part of the agreement in order to save political face back home. Somebody once told me DJT was playing 4-d chess while others played checkers. Yep, he’s not your average garbageman or fry cook.

Mixed bag, Don, but let the man run with the people he selected. His success will depend on their production.

The Donald will be challenged by the RINO Senate leadership.

Mitch and the gang are plenty pissed that they were not consulted on his selections. They bent him over the first time. Now, he has them bent over and the America First traitor cabal will be revealed in the confirmation process. Each will bend themselves over.

It looks like T (and we) learned the lesson from the last time. I like what I see and like what I hear!

We need to get him into to the WH and make him safe. They’re taking the lefts propensity for killing those it hates or feels is in their way (ok, the Clintons have maybe gone a little overboard on this) very seriously. Have I not been paying attention or am I correct in observing that T and V haven’t been in the same vicinity since election night!

Thank God we’ve come out the other side and can be hopeful again!

I haven't made the observation about T & V not being in the same vicinity since election night, but that would make great sense. There are many out there who wish us ill. I like T's selections and hope that they all get approved. I listened to Tucker's conversation with Vought and thought he was really on top of things and will continue doing great things at OMB.

One thing that has been shown by Trump's staff picks: this is not going to be a "far-right" administration (as claimed by the far-left Dems, who brand anyone slightly to the right of them as "far-right." This is going to be a center-right administration--which is actually what most of the American population is. The coastal big cities are run by the far-left, along with Chicago and Minneapolis; and even there you can find a lot of center-right people--Trump was received remarkably well in NYC during the campaign, by the people if not by the politicians.

I may have doubts about a few of them, especially the Labor Secretary. But I suspect this is part of Trump's plan to win over the national brass of the labor unions (he already has the rank-and-file union members). I grew up in a UAW household back in the 1950s and '60s. The Dems have abandoned the Working Man during my lifetime; now it is biting them.

With oh so very, very much on the “To Do List” for the incoming Trump administration, I often wonder what he will choose to do on Day One.

I’m sure unleashing our energy resources will be one of them, and my hope is that pardoning ALL Jan. 6th political prisoners, including those still in the crosshairs, will be done right away on that day.

I am sure Trump wants to focus on doing big things that will make a majority of Americans feel positive and hopeful right out of the gate.

But I feel it is absolutely imperative that sooner rather than later, criminal cases must be brought for the legion of people in government who have abused and broken the law over at least the last 10 years. Not a single person has suffered even the slightest consequence for flagrant and egregious lawbreaking. It has had by far the most demoralizing effect on the people of this country and has served to encourage even more and more egregious behavior because it never gets punished.

It is essential the message be sent loud and clear, that there’s a new sheriff in town, and this will not be tolerated. It would be a major bonus if there were some members of the Legacy media included from that cabal of evil to prosecute as well, as that just might make others in that cesspool of propaganda think twice about what they report, and how they choose to report it.

I also heard the rumor that a Soecial Prosecutor may be designated to investigate Congressional corruption. Hah! Totally awesome! Even just the threat of that might help to bring some of these RINO snakes in line. And who knows? Maybe even a few Dems.

In the meantime, pray without ceasing that the good Lord God continue to bless and protect the USA and our President-elect and his administration.

Biden’s pardon of his son basically pardons himself

Expand full comment

Actually, it may have the opposite effect, since Hunter's blanket pardon eliminates the self-incrimination privilege. If called, he must provide testimony or risk contempt and possible jail. He may be used against his father IF any investigations/prosecutions against Biden Sr. are actually undertaken. I wouldn't bet on that, though.

Expand full comment

Yes, the threat of perjury for Hunter if they use him on the stand to triangulate other perps could be effective.

One note of importance is this pardon isn't to protect Hunter. It is to protect Joe, Jim and Barack Obama. They are the leading actors in this global racketeering.
