Russian Collusion?? or a Russian Hoax??

Back in 2016, news started to surface about possible Russian collusion as a reason why Trump won the election.  So when people ask me the question of; Did Russia interfere with the 2016 election and are they still trying to interfere with our elections?  My answer is always, OF COURSE they did and they are.

Now, are they hacking voting machines or shipping in boxes and boxes of fake ballots?  No.  But they do have a HUGE bot farm that spans across Twitter, Facebook and YouTube posting bullshit tweets, disinformation and fact challenged videos.  If you see a video on YouTube that has a robotic voice.  More than likely, not real information.  Twitter and YouTube have done a great job getting rid of false content and shutting down accounts.  Zuckerberg is a Trump fanatic so he still allows false and misleading information to be thrown all over Facebook and his "metaverse" so there ya go.  

When these concerns were raised Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller was put in charge of an inquiry to find out if Russia did indeed interfere with the 2016 election.  From his reporting and grand jury indictments you can say there was a there-there.  But what did Muellers investigation conclude?  The question of collusion was never quite answered and left it up to your own conclusions.  There were 34 guilty pleas during the course of that case and he did not exonerate Trump from "obstruction of justice"  Trump did in fact obstruct but he was never indicted or penalized for it because of the DOJ policy that a sitting president cannot be indicted.  But the Mueller report did conclude that there was massive interference from Russia during the 2016 election and that that interference would in fact continue.  

So why did the left start pushing this issue of collusion?  What prompted the rumors?  The highly questionable Steele Dossier started the whole thing.  While a lot of that is questionable some of it is believable especially from what we have heard from McDougal and Daniels regarding the ex-Presidents sexual appetite, but there is NO hard evidence the ex-President likes for prostitutes to urinate on him.  But when it came to the question of Russian Collusion, Trumps biggest enemy was himself.  His campaign staff and transition team all LIED about meeting with Russian oligarchs and Russian diplomats.  They ALL lied and they were caught.  They didn't disclose the ex-Presidents son's meeting with Russian agents in Trump tower.  If the Trump Campaign and transition team had come straight out and said, "Look we were meeting with Russian officials because we wanted to open up diplomatic relations."  I don't think ANYONE would have batted an eyelash because that's reasonable and it is expected to have some sort of relations even with people your country disagree's with.  But instead of coming clean the Trump playbook was lie and deny even to Federal Law Enforcement which is in fact a crime.  Now, in 2022 its being questioned AGAIN because Trump asked Putin for dirt on Hunter Biden and the Biden family.  Which is in fact the very definition of collusion.  Russia has called Trump a "partner" and that they "need to help their partner Trump again to become US President."  Now, some members of the GOP say their wording is because they don't speak English.  That's bullshit.  Draw your own reasonable conclusions people.

So when right wing pundits and supporters say that Russia interfering in the 2016 elections was a hoax, it is safe for you to call bullshit and move on with your life.  Their continued denial of reality is either willful ignorance, being a useful idiot for Russia or just plain old stupidity and they would rather have their heads in the sand.  

The Rights Love affair with Hunter Biden

 
The American right has a love affair with Hunter Biden.  It is their biggest scandal yet.  Whether its his big executive position at Burisma or its accused child sex trafficking star of the house Matt Gaetz getting the laptop introduced as part of the congressional record or just some hot late night talking points on Fox News or Qanon websites.  They all love this tidbit of information.  Now, they say it shows corruption.  It does not.  They claim its a viable piece of information to get President Biden impeached.  It is not.  

No one is claiming that Hunter did not work for Burisma or didn't pay his taxes.  We all know what Hunter Biden has done.  The issue is NO ONE BUT THE RIGHT CARES.  Hunter Biden being given a position that he was woefully unqualified for is not corruption.  It shows the deeper problem that the children of the rich and powerful get treated differently because they have pull.  Hunter Biden IS NOT the first child of a politician or celebrity to get a position in a big corporation because of who his father is or to use his fathers position to get something of value.  The most recent example of this was actually Ivanka Trump.  Ivanka had trademarks in China, 41 of them in fact, that were fast tracked after her fathers election in 2016 as per this Forbes article.  They were approved 40% faster than those that she applied for BEFORE her father was president.  

Children of famous people and celebrities have always received preferential treatment OVER people who are vastly more talented and qualified for the job, it happens.  Then comes the e-mails with "the big guy" that is personally the most retarded thing I have ever heard and is the farthest thing from a there-there that I have ever seen in my life.  

Why is this story not covered as well outside of right-wing media then it should be?  Because Hunter does not work in the government, he sits on no councils, he is not involved in any committee, he is not a special envoy to the middle east and he isn't a "special advisor to the president."   As far as I know Hunter has been to the White House, what?  ONE time.  Hunter Biden is NOT the first child of a politician or celebrity to have severe personal problems either.  I personally don't car about Hunter Bidens laptop.  I don't care if Hunter Biden is having sex crazed orgies or cocaine crazed house parties as long as he isn't doing it in the White House.  

So how can Hunter Biden overcome these problems and the bad press associated with them?  Its very simple.  Hunter Biden NEEDS to become a Republican.  Register as a Republican, vote Republican and run in Republican elections.  He would become a right-wing hero if he gets up there and blasts his father and he will be right at home.  According to Madison Cawthorn the GOP has drug crazed sex parties ALL the time.  So pull up a chair Hunter.  Join Matt and Madison and snort a line or 2 off of a prostitutes breast.  I see a bright future ahead of you in Republican politics.
