Agreed, the everyone rightly remembers the early to mid seasons being excellent but either forgets or didn’t watch the show getting downright terrible near the end. Seasons 10 and 11 had a few winners like Church Hopping or Grand Theft Arlen, but we could totally lose 12 & 13. Just try to watch “Lost in MySpace” without becoming sad.

The Myspace episode was terrible but the finale was aces.


Really hoping for a complete series Blu Ray one day.

I think, at least this was last week's Trump news that Biden's son had tried to get the Ukrainians to give him some classified info on stuff they'd dug up about Trump before the last election, on the orders of the democrats. It's exactly as loving insane as it sounds and I feel stupider for typing it.

basically he's claiming Hunter Biden used the family name and daddy's influence to get on the board of a Ukrainian energy company and also a Chinese hedge fund. The Ukrainian company had some corruption poo poo going on but the prosecutor was also corrupt and got removed after basically everyone including the GOP demanded it.

Biden by that time had been on the house counsel for MBNA for like idk 5 years, gotten into hedge fund management and lobbying after that, and was part of a broader effort by Burisima (the Ukrainian company) to draw high profile Westerners to their advisory board with a focus on transparency and good PR. Biden's lobbying chops and family name would of course fit well for that but it looks gross because Joe was VP at the time.

Hunter also had a seat on the Amtrak board. He also had a direct commission into the US Navy Reserve, requiring an age waiver(he was 43). It also required a second waiver due to a previous drug charge. A month later he pissed hot for coke and was discharged.

He's basically a posterchild for nepotism.

I dont think many people disagree that biden used his political priviledge to get his son into good jobs, like everyone else does (and still doesn't make it right) but asking other governments to do it during an election, then GOING ON CAMERA AND ASKING MORE COUNTRIES is uhhhh bad

Yeah he's more or less the bumbling junkie of the family but raked in millions by virtue of being a Biden. Presumably he'd still be rich as hell with a Yale law degree, just not as rich.

It doesn't make sense because it doesn't need to. Facts and reality are for the pre-escalator world. A good demonstration model here is Russian oligarchic rule with laughably pointless trappings of democracy nobody really believes in. Russian politics don't operate on making sense or seeking consensus of the governed. The surface level operates on bullshit, obfuscation and misinformation while underneath it's intimidation, assassination and control of power.

That is exactly the goal of the GOP now. Kick up a smoke screen with lies, distraction and bullshit until the average person tunes it all out as "just politics" or "too divisive" or whatever excuse satisfies them and then use the power of the state to attack political opposition. They've got the first part down to a science with the right wing media machine fog-horning their bullshit 24/7. The leadership is certainly trying for the second part. So far it seems the country is institutionally resisting the second part but that only lasts through so many purges right up until it doesn't.

If Warren makes it through, this kind of poo poo will be perfect for the general. "Yeah, my parents lied to me about my heritage just like Trump's parents lied to him about him being a successful businessman". A not-bullshitting idea might be to hire some campaign staffers specifically in charge of writing jokes and burns.

Or every time he uses the Pocahontas bullshit, spin it into a new version of his administration loving over Native Americans again. There are definitely plenty.

Edit: btw Ben Collins is excellent on the conspiracy poo poo

I randomly skipped to a part where buff guy in shirt is asked to talk about his military service

"When I was in Afghanistan"
- "what unit?"
"We were stationed in Hawaii"
- "WHAT UNIT?"
"I was with the one three"
*laughter*
- "The one three what?"
"The one three, you can look the rest up on Wikipedia, anyway, I was stationed in Afghanistan"
*laughter*
"I'm sorry, I was deployed to Afghanistan, my mistake"
*laughter*

How could you possibly prepare less for a bullshit story than your average idiot in the least-clicked stolen valor video on YouTube?

Just how.

I mean, I'm sure the one three is some company or regiment or batallion or whatever, and I'm also sure they googled enough to actually ascertain that said unit was in Hawaii at some point, but good God, it sounds like the guy is getting his printouts of those actual drat Wikipedia pages he's reading off of mixed up and then choking.

It's not clear if the company that put Hunter on the board got anything from Joe. But it's very clearly the usual scummy corporate thing where the Ukrainian company probably thought it couldn't hurt. There's zero indication of Joe doing anything - in fact, he was actually pushing Ukraine to fire the prosecutor that *wasn't* investigating his son's company. But it was still very clearly a run-of-the-mill shady, influence-peddling "hey, I'll hire the VP's kid, it can't hurt!" thing. Same reason why you buy nights at the Trump International, but never stay there.
