Why would Joe Biden’s granddaughter receive a $ wire from Romania after Joe Biden left Romania?

The comments.

Apparently Hilary’s private death squad breached the security in Fauci’s secret lab in China where they were using a time machine to bring back mind control vaccines from the future so that they could use it to travel to the past to send all of Obama’s suits except the tan one to the drycleaner.

Elect clowns, expect a circus.

[….]
People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook.

80,352,000 seconds
1,339,200 minutes
22,320 hours
930 days
132 weeks and 6 days

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Two impeachments and three indictments are a good start.

Some of the responses:

Explain to me how the GOP has hearing after hearing but no evidence at all of wrong doing by Joe Biden. Yet, y’all continually go after his son who has never and will never hold office.

17 tapes?, paid FBI witness 250,000 by Trump friend Kash Patel, another witness was an arms dealer and Chinese spy, Archer transcript a big nothing……Biden a crook? 78 indictments and Georgia to come.Trump a crook….his past has shown that to be true tax evasion, fraud, rape,……

You and your party are just out for revenge with no proof. You have nothing to validate an inquiry but it sure sounds good to your base.

Faux news?! [….] resign you pandering hack.

Trump sucked.
It’s time for the party to either realize he’s a fraud or get ready to lose (again) in the general election.
If you don’t want 4 more years of Biden, it’s time to grow up and get a new nominee.

That’s not going to work, either.

perhaps too late for that….that is the problem when a party becomes a cult and puts a man over party and country….

Heh. Missed it by that much.

Professional clowning for fun and profit

[July 25, 2023]
The Biden Crime family web is unraveling. And President Biden is the black widow in the middle of it all!!!
[….]

Clown.

Some of the responses:

Sure. Good luck.

This can’t be ignored like the Hillary debacle. Impeachment proceedings followed by criminal charges needs to happen

Hillary was the principal of 7 House and Senate investigations.
What did they find, again?

is that a serious question?? Lol

Seriously, what were the findings?

that you KNOW exactly what was found but the Rino Republicans who had their hands in the same cookie jar wouldn’t do anything about it

Okay

Americans deserve to know the truth and Republicans need to follow through full speed ahead to expose all the corruption!!

time it so the verdict comes in Oct of next year

Accountability!

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

Mark, don’t you believe others are really controlling all actions and speech coming from this (puppet) president?? Yes, he needs to be held accountable for his crimes. But, isn’t there way too much credit is given to him for all the evil and destructive administrative decisions and actions coming from those “pulling his strings”? Just an observation.

Obama, Clinton’s , George what’s his name and others.
#Follow the money

What’s his name and others? WTF?

just trying to focus on the massive current attention to Biden that distracts away from those who may be really in charge and exerting power in the here and now.

You are sooo right. The layers of this onion are thick

If Biden is removed, what then puppet Harris or in 2024 Michele Obama?

We want the truth mark!!!!! Stay after them!!!!!!

if Republicans are involved that’s not likely going to happen. All the time, resources and millions of dollars wasted on Hillary and the Bengazhi investigations is proof of that…

kinda like the Mueller report and all the other Trump investigations.

It is time this web is untangled and the whole bunch of them are held accountable including criminal charges

So is The Doctor she’s apart of it. More then you think.

Jared and Ivanka made about 250,000,000 dollars while serving as White House advisors.
In case you need to be refreshed on Hunter’s government stipend?
Zero dollars.

the difference is that both Jared and Ivanka have businesses. Legitimate businesses that had income before and after the WH. The Biden’s have no business whatsoever. The only business they evidently have, is the business of selling policy.

Someone should tell him.

but Hunter got plenty of money from China and Ukraine to spend on crack and hookers.

Sounds like the American dream in Ohio.

A private citizen. Ivanka and Jared actually worked in the White House. Big difference.

if you say so.

Joe Biden is the tip of the iceberg. Why do you think Trump was impeached the first time? Ukraine is corruption center. The uniparty has been feeding there for years. The cartels launder money there and pay their protection money to the globalists. They wanted Trump out because he was apt to find them out as he did.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

$250 million? Please send me your references.

From CREW:

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reported between $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House, according to an analysis of financial disclosures by CREW. It is impossible to tell the exact amount as the income is sometimes reported in broad ranges and cover four months of income before Ivanka Trump officially joined her father’s administration and nearly one month before Jared Kushner joined.

[….]

But will it really matter? So far we have a media blackout and an all out assault from the left.
Nothing personal but I see just more GOP blustering. What about the 18 reps from Biden areas. Will they go along with this?

Hopefully something can finally happen. The crooked democrats seem to always get away with everything and nothing ever happens to them. Good luck Mark!

It’s about time it unravels !

You picked a heck of a time to get in
this isn’t business as usual our country is at stake Kevin is not to be trusted Don’t come home stay in DC for the 6 weeks you know Kevin’s going to be doing back door meetings these are serious times defund Ukraine use the power of the purse

The Biden Crime Family is as crooked as they come. They make Tom Pendergast look like a saint.

Kevin McCarthy has already said, they would impeach Biden as retribution for Trump. When is this tit for tat crap going to stop? Americans need you guys to take care of business for the country. There are so many things that need attention and all any of you are doing is trying to make the other party look worse than you do. Do something about Immigration reform. That is something Congress can do but they’d rather leave it broken so they can blame the opposing party. It’s all a game to you guys. This all started before Trump was president. It’s been going on since Bill Clinton was in office. Just Stop It!

Preaching to people who don’t want to hear it and never will.

And we knew all of this before he became president. Grrrr

From the BBC:

[….]

Trump: “I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married.”

Unknown: “That’s huge news there.”

Trump: “No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn’t get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”

Bush: “Your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple.”

Multiple voices: “Whoah. Yes. Whoah.”

Bush: “Yes. The Donald has scored. Whoah my man.”

Trump: “Look at you. You are a pussy.”

Bush: “You gotta get the thumbs up.”

Trump: “Maybe it’s a different one.”

Bush: “It better not be the publicist. No, it’s, it’s her.”

Trump: “Yeah that’s her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”

Bush: “Whatever you want.”

Trump: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Missouri Supreme Court rejects AG’s push to inflate cost of abortion-rights amendment
BY: JASON HANCOCK – JULY 20, 2023 1:46 PM

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s efforts to inflate the cost of an abortion-rights initiative petition were unanimously rejected by the state Supreme Court Thursday, just two days after judges heard arguments in the case.

The quick verdict, which was written by Judge Paul Wilson, was scathing in its opinion of Bailey’s refusal to sign off on the work of Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick, concluding that nothing in state law “gives the attorney general authority to question the auditor’s assessment of the fiscal impact of a proposed petition.”

The ruling upheld Cole County Circuit Court Judge Jon Beetem’s ruling last month ordering Bailey to sign off on Fitzpatrick’s fiscal summary within 24 hours.

[….]

Do your job, Andrew Bailey (r).

From the Missouri Supreme Court [No. SC100132] on Friday:

[….]

Dr. Anna Fitz-James (“Fitz-James”) filed a petition in the circuit court of Cole County seeking a writ of mandamus compelling Attorney General Andrew Bailey (“Attorney General”) to approve fiscal note summaries for 11 proposed initiative petitions she had filed with Secretary of State John Ashcroft(“Secretary”). After briefing and argument, the circuit court made permanent its writ of mandamus ordering the Attorney General to do so and to forward notice of that approval to State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick (“Auditor”). The Attorney General appealed, and this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3 of the Missouri Constitution.

Nothing in section 116.1751 gives the Attorney General authority to question the Auditor’s assessment of the fiscal impact of a proposed petition. Instead, the Attorney General’s authority extends only to reviewing the “legal content and form” of the fiscal notes and summaries prepared by the Auditor, not their substance. Because the circuit court in this case did not err in finding there was no defect in the “legal form and content” of the fiscal note summaries prepared by the Auditor concerning Fitz-James’s proposed initiative petitions, the Attorney General’s refusal to perform the plain, unequivocal, and ministerial duty of approving those summaries (and informing the Auditor he has done so) cannot be justified. The Attorney General was to have performed that task within 10 days of receiving the fiscal notes and summaries from the Auditor, a period that expired more than three months ago. Accordingly, the circuit court’s decision to make permanent its writ of mandamus requiring the Attorney General to perform that duty is affirmed.

[….]

The Auditor disagreed and, on April 21, resubmitted the original fiscal notes and fiscal note summaries to the Attorney General. The Auditor informed the Attorney General that the fiscal notes and summaries complied with the requirements set forth in chapter 116 and that the Attorney General exceeded his review authority under section 116.175.4. On May 1, the Attorney General notified the Auditor that he disagreed and refused to approve the fiscal notes and summaries and that he had fulfilled his statutory duties.

Because of this logjam, the Secretary could not – and, to this day, cannot – complete his duty by certifying the official ballot titles for the proposed petitions. The ballot title is comprised of two parts: a “summary statement” and the fiscal note summary. § 116.180. Pursuant to section 116.334.1, the Secretary prepared a “summary statement” for each of the proposed petitions and sent them to the Attorney General for his review as to “legal content and form.” The Attorney General approved them and notified the Secretary of that approval. Under section 116.180, however, the Secretary cannot certify the official ballot title for any of the proposed petitions until he receives both the approved summary statement and the approved fiscal note summary (as well as the fiscal note) pertaining to that proposed petition. Because the Attorney General refuses to perform his duty, neither the Auditor nor the Secretary can perform his.

[….]

Conclusion

This Court has often repeated the importance of the right to initiative enshrined in the Missouri Constitution:

Nothing in our constitution so closely models participatory democracy in its pure form. Through the initiative process, those who have no access to or influence with elected representatives may take their cause directly to the people. The people, from who all constitutional authority is derived, have reserved the “power to propose and enact or reject laws and amendments to the Constitution.”

[….]

…If technical formalities cannot stand in the way, a failure to perform a clear and unequivocal duty must not be allowed to do so either. If the Attorney General had complied with his duty to approve the Auditor’s fiscal note summaries in the time prescribed by section 116.175.4, the Secretary would have certified the official ballot titles for Fitz-James’s initiative petitions nearly 100 days ago.

For the reasons set for above, the circuit court’s judgment is affirmed.

[….]

And that is what you call a slam dunk.

I find it interesting that people complain about our representatives and senators in DC looking into Biden’s possible wrong doings for years and his policies and attempts to push big government! But the same people were and are quick to jump on the bandwagon to take Trump down and now out! Are the same people that are blind to what is happening to our country! If the same people don’t wake up, we will be just like China and all these other socialist countries now and former! I applaud Hawley for his efforts, even though I don’t agree with everything he says or does!

Yesterday, from Josh Hawley (r):

Senator Josh Hawley
[July 11, 2023]
We can’t afford to let Communist China co-opt American institutions.
“It worries me when I see the PGA doing business with the Chinese gov’t…a gov’t that is attempting to use American institutions as a megaphone for their own totalitarian, dystopian & frankly evil policies.”

Some of the responses:

but chain saw saudis are ok… got it..

How about when farmland in the state you claim to reside in is sold to Chinese citizens? You seemed OK with that… but you live in Virginia and really don’t care…

Better start with James Comer since his committee was collaborating with a spy for the Chinese.
You colleague, Tuberville, is also weakening our military readiness.
Repugs are traitors.

China was one of the first that you identified as ‘the enemy”, along with Democrats, immigrants, teachers, the government, LGBTQIA+ people, women who do not want children or who have at-risk pregnancies, others. You sued that country and lost.. Have you investigated schmitt for his part in selling Missouri land to China. Clean up the mess in your own house before you start messing in other’s.

But Josh loves the Saudis.
They funded the attacks on 9/11.
They murdered a Washington Post American journalist.
They bribed Kushner w $2billon for…?
Yeah, the Saudis are great for America/Republicans.

Hey, talk about Jared Kushner and your orange overlord, Haulin A*s Hawley!! They’re totally in bed with the Saudis.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

WTF Josh. The PGA is now owned by the Saudis who just made a deal to enrich Trump. Get a clue Tiny Fist Man.

Then why aren’t you concerned about the PGA doing business with the Saudis?
You know, the same guys that helped fund the 9-11 attacks against America, and who kill America journalists, and who raise oil prices to hurt western countries like the US, AND who arrest Christians in Saudi Arabia for practicing their faith!
You’re not a serious elected official, you just do things for the camera. SMH

Resign, seditionist, and do so with exceeding haste.

So, Mr. “The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming!” how upset are you at your House colleagues for colluding with a Commie spy?
[….]

But Joshie … Capitalism and free markets … or only when you approve?
Run along Joshie … literally run along.
[….]

29 consecutive months of job growth, inflation steadily declining, durable goods having been up for three consecutive months, 35,000 new infrastructure projects, an extended period in which real wages exceeded inflation and outsize gains for lower wage-earners.
Economic transformation in little towns, rural areas and aging metro centers brought about by new investment in plants, infrastructure projects and green energy related to the Chips Act.
Limiting China’s access to U.S. technology that has military applications and bringing supply chains homeYellen told U.S business leaders: “I have made clear that the United States does not seek a wholesale separation of our economies. We seek to diversify, not to decouple. A decoupling of the world’s two largest economies would be destabilizing for the global economy, and it would be virtually impossible to undertake.”
Biden’s policies have wiped out a quarter of the inequality built in the previous forty. And at the same time that Biden’s resurrection of the liberal consensus of the years from 1933 to 1980 is illustrating that the economic problems in the country were the fault of Republican policies rather than of marginalized people, the extremism of those angry Republican footsoldiers is revealing that they are not the centrist Americans they have claimed to be.
The Republican embrace of Moms for Liberty illustrates dramatically and to a wide audience how radical the party itself has become, threatening to turn away all but its extremist base. A strong majority of Americans oppose book banning: about two thirds of the general population and even 51% of Republicans oppose it, recognizing that it echoes the rise of authoritarians.
-Excerpts from Heather Cox Richardson’s fact checked weekend report.

Resign you pandering hack

Clowns.

Two weeks ago:

Smith, Comer, Jordan: Congress Investigating DOJ & IRS Misconduct With Respect to Hunter Biden Allegations
JUNE 28, 2023
WASHINGTON, D.C.—House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.), Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), and Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), today issued the following statement on their commitment to pursue a thorough inquiry into misconduct at the Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the Hunter Biden investigation:

“Politicization and misconduct at the Department of Justice and IRS during the investigation into Hunter Biden reveal a two-tiered system of justice and unequal application of the law. According to whistleblower testimony, the Justice Department refused to follow evidence that implicated Joe Biden, tipped off Hunter Biden’s attorneys, allowed the clock to run out with respect to certain charges, and put tax-cheat Hunter Biden on the path towards a sweetheart plea deal. This is a mockery of the core American value of equal justice under the law.

“This weaponization of the federal law-enforcement power to benefit the Bidens adds to Americans’ growing mistrust in our institutions. If we are to remain a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, Congress has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this abuse of power and hold bad actors accountable. Our committees are pursuing a thorough investigation into this misconduct to deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.”

Jason Smith (r) [2022 file photo].

On Monday, the “source” who they “lost”:

Co-Director of Think Tank Indicted for Acting as Unregistered Foreign Agent, Trafficking in Arms, Violating U.S. Sanctions Against Iran, and Making False Statements to Federal Agents (July 10, 2023)

[….]

…Luft agreed to covertly recruit and pay, on behalf of principals based in China, a former high-ranking U.S. government official (Individual-1), including in 2016 while the former official was an adviser to the then-President-elect, to publicly support certain policies with respect to China without Luft or Individual-1 filing a registration statement as an agent of a foreign principal with the Attorney General of the United States…”

More responses:

Probably some solid proof instead of all this “potential” crap you and your ilk keep spewing to try and divert attention from your Mango Messiah.

The problem isn’t the MSM.

It’s the Republicans lying about it.
[….]

Mark, you’re so incredibly tone deaf after all of the deals (bribes) Trump and his family made or took during his time in office. And while we’re on it, what’s it going to take for FOX or any of the other right wing media outlets to cover him accurately?

Of course you mean that twice impeached traitor trump.
Please try some research and it’s not hard to find all the treasonous things that he and his family have done.
If u can’t do that u r one of many we know as hypocritical uninformed people called trumpers

Congressman, Most serious accusations ever? Have you full on drank the koolaid. We’ve had backdoor deals for Iranian arms, watergate, Russian interference, cherry picked wmd info, political insurrections, quid pro quo’s and your saying unsubstantiated bribes is the most serious?

GQP MAGA clown show is why. It’s all LIES.

Attempting to overthrow our government comes in 1st place, Pal. You need to be more responsible with your accusations.

There’s that.

Mark Alford is, quite simply, a lying turd.

The mainstream media should cover him with the ridicule he deserves.

But they won’t, because the mainstream media is pro-Republican.

Mark, NEWS FLASH…trump is no longer president. He lost the 2020 election.

Heh.

Once again no proof or evidence. How much more BS do we need to come out of you?

Ok then, you know and I know this is worse than stupid, MarkAlford you really need better material, it is understood that you have no plans to actually help the folks of the 4th district, you take your mandate to entertain, but this is not even that, this is a snipe hunt

How the hell did get elected. Everybody hates you.

You’re confusing Biden with Trump.

It’s always too easy.

We don’t allow ignorant comments out of moderation to be linked with the original post, but we will present some of them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit.

We see fit.

Attempted trolling comment submitted today in response to Campaign Finance: “Oil, that is…” (June 20, 2023):

You just listed the SAME donation 6 times. I checked the registration numbers. What kind of inflated reporting is this? The same information listed 6 times is just inflammatory reporting .

Read the following SLOWLY so you can try to understand it. SOUND out the words, if that helps:

There were six different receiving entities, each with a unique Missouri Ethics Commission ID, each receiving $15,000.00, each reporting separately on June 20th.

C190996 06/20/2023 Conservative Leaders of Missouri
C171235 06/20/2023 Missouri Senior PAC
C131007 06/20/2023 Missouri Growth PAC
C151156 06/20/2023 MO Majority PAC
C171229 06/20/2023 Missouri C PAC
C141393 06/20/2023 Missouri AG PAC

[emphasis added]

There was one contributing entity, which made six separate contributions in the amount of $15,000.00 each to different receiving entities. If you need help with the math, that’s $90,000.00 total on June 20th.

Warrenton Oil Company 2299 South Spoede Truesdale MO 63380 6/20/2023

[emphasis added]

Interestingly, the reported address of the contributing entity has the same typo for five of the six reporting receiving entities:

Warrenton Oil Company 2299 South Spoede 2299 South Spoede Truesdale MO 63380 6/20/2023

[emphasis added]

What’s with that?

“…I checked the registration numbers…” No, you didn’t.
