They got their rocks off with Hunter's dick-pics. As long as they can make someone feel powerless, their de-aging potion works for another three months.

While I absolutely condemn what they did, I don't think they accomplished what they wanted. Now the nation knows that hunter is hung and bangs hot chicks and does coke at naked pool parties. Guarantee the republicans are jealous.

It's hidden in a 5-star hotel in Hawaii with Obama's real birth certificate

Are you sure it isn't in a landscaping company?

This was the the funniest shit to ever happen, just thinking about it makes me warm and fuzzy.

The location mixup, the sex store in the background, Rudy's brain leaking down his face. It really was just a fantastic moment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The fact that they didn’t scout the location at all just kills me.

Like someone went there ahead of time to setup the podium and speakers, for a White House press conference, and didn’t call their boss and say “are you sure I’m supposed to set this up at a landscaping company?”

I can be a little apathetic at my job, but I’ve never been that apathetic.

And then when they showed up, they could have redirected the reporters to like a nearby park or something, but they just stuck to it.

that press conference was after Trump lost the election, the worker probably knew they were getting, at most, one last paycheck

Conservatives aren't able to admit fault of any kind. It's just not part of their DNA (which they don't believe in).

If a conservative learns they are wrong about something, instead of correcting themselves, the conservative will lean into the error and insist they were never wrong.

Come on guys, the real treasure was all the fishing expeditions we went on along the way!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The real treasure was the pics of hunter biden's FAT HOG.

Ha, I thought this was a question and started to link to the lawfare article which came out today and has same title... because this was actually a link to the article and not a question

[–] [email protected] 126 points 1 month ago

It was just noise to waste time, distract, and provide cover for past and future republican crimes. It was NEVER about any of things actually discussed or actions taken by Biden.

Like most Republican projects, they had the concepts of an impeachment....

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 month ago

I don’t believe they even had that.
