Hunter Biden is clean and sober now and looking forward to joining the newly expanded IRS. Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci has been granted an exception to the age requirements so he can be an FBI field agent.
ha ha.

Moscow Already 'Studying' Top-Secret Records From Trump Raid: Russian Media BY JASON LEMON ON 8/13/22 Hosts on Russia's state-owned Russia-1 television channel said that officials in Moscow have already been "studying" top secret and other classified documents the FBI sought through a search warrant of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort home. The FBI, with the approval of Attorney General Merrick Garland, carried out a raid of Trump's Florida residence looking for top secret and sensitive compartmentalized information, as well as other classified documents, on Monday. The Washington Post reported on Thursday that records related to nuclear weapons were sought by the federal agents, but Trump described that reporting as a "hoax." Russia-1 reported on the raid in a segment shared to Twitter late Friday evening by Julia Davis, a columnist for The Daily Beast and the creator of the Russian Media Monitor. During the segment, state-run television host Evgeny Popov mentioned the reporting about nuclear weapons. "Turns out that the investigation against Trump has to do with the disappearance of secret documents from the White House, related to the development of nuclear weapons by the U.S.," Popov said. "The FBI isn't saying what kinds of weapons, or what they found in Trump's estate. Obviously, if there were any important documents, they've been studying them in Moscow for a while." "What's the point of searching?" Popov then asked, suggesting that protecting the classified information was already a useless endeavor. Newsweek reached out to Trump's press office for comment. Russian state-owned media said that officials in Moscow have already been "studying" the top secret documents sought by the FBI in a raid of former President Donald Trump's home. Above, Russian President Vladimir Putin shakes hands with Trump at the G20 Osaka Summit 2019 in Japan on June 28, 2019.MIKHAIL SVETLOV/GETTY IMAGES"Nuclear weapons issue is a Hoax, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a Hoax, two Impeachments were a Hoax, the Mueller investigation was a Hoax, and much more. Same sleazy people involved," the former president wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform early Friday morning. Trump critics have long speculated and floated theories that he was working with Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing his consistently positive remarks about the Russian leader and his former business ties to Moscow. Concerns that Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was backed by the Kremlin led to the lengthy investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller. Although the probe determined that Moscow had worked to promote Trump's campaign and disparage his Democratic opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it did not conclude that Trump or his team conspired with Russia. The ex-president has consistently described allegations and investigations related to his ties to Russia as a "hoax" and a "witch hunt." No evidence has been brought to light corroborating many of the theories promoted by some Democrats regarding the former president and the Kremlin, although there have been continued concerns voiced by some Trump critics regarding his favorable views of Putin. Just ahead of Putin launching Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, Trump described the Russian leader as a "genius" and "smart." During his tenure as president, Trump also said that he believed Putin over his own intelligence agencies regarding Moscow's interference in the 2016 election. Russian state media previously floated the possibility that the U.S. could break out into a civil war due to the FBI raid on Trump's home. Additionally, Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko, a guest on Russian TV program 60 Minutes, called the raid a "witch hunt," where Trump "as the most popular politician in the United States" was "chosen as such a witch." "They won't just be vilifying him, they will be strangling him. These raids, involving dozens of FBI officers and police dogs...This is a symbol of inordinate despotism," Korotchenko said, defending Trump. newsweek.com

@ZTPetrizzo Right-wing media has been promoting a pro-Trump protest at the FBI headquarters today in Washington, D.C. — but the event was a massive flop with zero people showing up

Kevin Williamson may be trying to get National Review to fire him: Ricky Shiffer thought he was Ricky Revolutionary. Now, he’s Ricky Rigor Mortis, who died as he lived on social media: pointlessly, fruitlessly, and stupidly. ...snip... Say this for Ricky Revolutionary: At least he had the courage of his idiotic convictions. You can’t say as much for the people who make a comfortable living manipulating misfits like him. Take Charlie Kirk, the young radio host and TPUSA entrepreneur who insists that the FBI’s warrant-service at Mar-a-Lago was nothing short of “a military operation against a political dissident.” Kirk’s followers take this message seriously: “There’s no time for politics, we are at war,” one representative response declared. This is standard Republican stuff right now: Florida governor Ron DeSantis insisted that the FBI was enabling the “weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents” — that capital-R “Regime” is telling — while Marco Rubio promised that those who use the government to “persecute political opponents” will, if he has his way, “face investigation and prosecution” by their political opponents, and he went on to describe the search as something we’d expect from “3rd world Marxist dictatorships.” Poor Marco Rubio — the senator from U.S. Sugar got out-boobed in 2016 and has vowed never to let it happen again. ...snip... This isn’t war. Ricky Revolutionary wasn’t Crispus Attucks. January 6 wasn’t the Boston Massacre. And Charlie Kirk isn’t Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, no matter how many times he calls himself a “dissident” between commercial breaks on his nationally syndicated radio program. In totalitarian societies, you find dissidents wasting away in labor camps, not stopping into the first-class lounge on their way to the next speaking engagement. ...snip... What is happening on the right is a kind of reverse ménage à trois, a three-way divorce in which conservatives are going one way, rightist revolutionaries are going another way, and a few Republican true-believers are pretending that this is just a bump in the road of an otherwise healthy relationship, trying to convince the other two to keep it together for the sake of the kids. ...snip... The United States has real problems, and its federal government has some urgent ones. The United States is not the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, we are not building concentration camps, and there is no civil war here except in the warped minds of a few such as Ricky Revolutionary. Some of those cynical operators who would have you believe otherwise are people whose chosen profession is lying for money. It is part of the duty of the citizen to liberate himself from selfish childish things, to sober up, and to act like a human being worthy of the freedom he enjoys. https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/08/ricky-revolutionary-rip/ PoliticalWaif
