Not really a current event per se, but Channel 5 news has a new video out and it's amazing. It's about Philly, drugs, addiction, and gentrification. Contains some gross images of infections and some talk about not great things. But it's worth the watch.

The thing is that at least in New York these communities usually vote as a block and wield a great deal of political power. It's not just in NYC, but in several towns in the outlying suburbs.

With enough mass and motivation, you can get one of your own in office, which is even better than simply having a lot of influence over a candidate.

I invented the line.

So Hunter Biden showed up at a oversight hearing today.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/10/politics/hunter-biden-contempt-vote-committees/index.html

He got up and left when MTG was starting to talk. Mace said he "had no balls" at one point after pointing out his white privilege. In the video when Hunter's lawyer is talking to the media in the hallway you can overhear someone calling Hunter a coward for leaving.

I also saw some tweets on the Reddits saying that the GOP might be angry with the current speaker and we might get a third round of chaos soon.

Yeah Hunter's pretty hosed on both the merits of the California tax case and the contempt charge. So his lawyers are being maximum petty and trying to prove it's all politically motivated. Republicans should've just called his bluff to make him testify in public, which he would then either weasel out of, or plead the 5th. But Comer wants testimony behind closed doors so he can pull random lines from the transcript before his next Fox News hit.

On the Speaker poo poo, it's coming up to needing another CR as the budget toplines were only just finalized over the weekend. So the chuddy types are like BORDER SHUTDOWN OR WE SHUTDOWN, which others are like "yeah the 1% cut is good actually, partially shut down plz" as Senate GOP is like WTF NO

They elevated a noname religious whack job backbencher and are suddenly surprised that he can't make Biden / mixed Senate suddenly roll over when he has a three-vote margin in the House.

They are angry because Johnson is now pushing the exact same budget proposal (down to the same dollar amount) that was the final straw they kicked McCarthy out for.

Whose truth?

For most of the public, this nonsense is what they want (possibly due to said television news).

When people in primaries go I WANT THE LOUD rear end in a top hat THAT BREAKS THINGS, and nearly no seats are competitive in general elections, you get the dipshits that break things. And with most objective sources of truth getting buried under mounds of bullshit, the general public quit hunting for the truth and stuck with their preferred bullshit flavor.

A lot of that is by design!

Donnie: I want to give a closing statement at the Trump Org civil trial

NYAG: Uh... I don't think this is allowed

Judge: So from my research, it's in my discretion

Donnie lawyer: HE WILL DO IT!

Judge: Ok, but since he didn't testify, he can't introduce new evidence, attack prosecutors, or act like he's testifying in his closing statement. I need to know by noon on the 10th if he agrees or not.

Donnie Lawyer: this is absurd hurf blurf

**SCENE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 9TH"

Judge: yo it's getting close and I didn't get your answer

Donnie Lawyer: whoops I didn't see the deadline, but my client's mother died and he's in the air and we can't talk

**SCENE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10TH**

Judge: Tell Donnie I'm sorry for his loss, but I still need your answer

Donnie Lawyer: he wants to, but can't make it, btw it was his mother-in-law and we want to instead close on the 29th

Judge: You have until noon, seven minutes from now, to give me a yes or no.

**SCENE: TWENTY MINUTES LATER**

Judge: Request denied.
