It's Gutfest '89
Grimey Drawer
So, William Hurt's father had quite the resume:

"Alfred McChord Hurt, 86, an official of the Agency for International Development who retired in 1972, died of liver failure Aug. 19 at Sibley Memorial Hospital.
Mr. Hurt, who lived in Chevy Chase, was born in Kentucky and graduated from Centre College.

He came to the Washington area in 1938 to work for the Department of Agriculture. During World War II, he served in the Coast Guard in the Suez Canal area.
After the war, he began working in U.S. foreign assistance programs. He was posted in China before the Communist Party takeover, then in Vietnam, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan and the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Mr. Hurt retired as regional AID director for Northwest Africa, posted in Dakar, Senegal."

So, two Gazprom directors have committed "suicide".

https://twitter.com/sumlenny/status/1500860662192521220

Aleksandr Tjuljakov worked in Gazprom's finance and security, and was found dead in his villa. The police investigators were stopped by Gazprom's own security staff and forced to leave. Tjuljakov had been seen in bad shape shortly before his death, with eye witnesses saying he had been assaulted.

The other dead was Leonid Shulman, who was a director in Gazprom Invest. He was found with a note saying he had unbearable pain, due to a medical problem with his leg. Gazprom had made a internal investigation into Shulman's department in 2021 and evidence of corruption had been found.

Both guys had worked together in Gazprom Transgazissa during the 2010's.

yeah I mean even the CIA couldn't keep the existence of the MKULTRA program secret, eventually and during my lifetime a FOIA request turned up documents that have been posted in this very thread, like what kind of Federal government agency can only massage public opinion of a secret mind control project such that it is regarded as a "conspiracy theory" for ~40 years

lol I looked into this and I don't know what to think. Googling Dominick Giacobbe gets you lots of articles about a martial arts conman who has published 3 books but doesn't have a Wikipedia page and if you search Dominick Giacobbe Wikipedia it turns up a couple Wikipedia pages about indictments against Luccese crime family members so... Maybe?

Whoever this Dominick Giacobbe guy is, Biden didn't marry any Italians so the whole thing is probably the most bizarre thing I've ever heard about Biden.

"Della? Take a lid"
My very brief research suggests that Jill is a Jersey native of Sicilian heritage whose father is Don Jacobs, but that the name was changed to Jacobs from Giacoppa, which itself was changed from Giacoppo.

https://en.geneastar.org/genealogy/jacobsj/jill-biden

If her family history is correct then I can see the joke working but he clearly says Giacoppa instead of Giocobbe, who is The Mind Master. It would be a solid joke if he didn't pronounce it wrong and anyone knew who that is, not gonna lie.

Jill Biden's father's family name was "Giacoppo" before it was Jacobs but was on the Ellis Island docs as "Giacappa" but dude's name was Donald so who fuckin knows

Dominick Giacobbe doesn't have so much as a Wikipedia entry so it seems unlikely he was trying to make that reference.
