The Frankish Reich

Explain then. Because it looks to me like another ignorant meme-poster who doesn't understand what money laundering means. Which is ok because the people who follow him don't understand it either.

Interesting. He spread the money around all right, mostly (at least visibly) to Democrats and the Dem party, but lots to Republicans too. And he accomplished the apparent goal: crypto trading not being treated as securities trading. Another moral of the story: these charges were dropped because the Bahamas wouldn't extradite him if they were in play. Bahamas gotta protect all their other shady businesses making big political contributions ... So make sure to flee to the Bahamas before the law comes down on you.

I kinda think we all do.

Whatever. Republicans know the Fed is going to raise interest rates, that that will drive up loan/mortgage rates and give them an anti-Biden/Dem talking point, so they schedule UFO hearings to drown out that talking point. Just give up already.

Allow me to recharacterize: so nothing good has ever come out of San Francisco.

Kinda milfy. I give her a pass.

So we all agree that the tweet you posted - the one about the UFO Hearings being convened to distract from the Fed's interest rate decision - was stupid?

I just did go to the gas station. $3.49. Which is up significantly from summer 2019 (the last fair comparison), but a lot lower than peak summer 2008, even in real terms. Oh, and on the “education” thread I just noted that you can make a hindred or so PBJ sandwiches for ten bucks. I’m not ascribing the good economic news solely, or even in significant part, to Biden. I am pointing out that there’s a Republican panic starting to well up. What if the economy actually looks good a year from now? Is anti-trans mania the issue we have to run on?

Shocking! I used to have one of those gauges in an ICE car. It would tell me my range was 430 miles, then drop like a rock whe. It hit 150. Bad engineering, not fraud in that case.

Maybe we should just keep reposting asinine crap.

On the order of $35 million or more. His wife, Elaine Chao, has served in cabinet positions twice. Makes her valuable as a lobbyist.

Yes! It would. I have said here that I think the Bragg prosecution is ill advised. But hey, turnabout is fair play. EDIT: I know it can be difficult to keep the players here straight. Lord knows I mix up my Big Blitzes and B Men. But I am in favor of investigates Hunter and following where the leads take us.

So … in what way did Ukraine launder Biden money? Biden has a dacha there? I thought they paid Biden money. That’s kind of the opposite of laundering it. Stupid ignorant “joke.”

More “bad news” haha He’s not a QAnon guy. Several Republican members of the Oversight Committee are QAnon gals. They scheduled the hearing. They are obsessed with UFOs. The initial poster’s take that the UFO hearings were scheduled to distract from the Fed’s July decision was idiotic. You reposted it. Own it.

A bit off topic, but ... surely Hunter committed some kind of crime in some Republican state? I mean, he was openly traveling cross country doing drugs and hookers everywhere he went. Where's the Republican DA working up an indictment on him? I am aware of a police report that came out of ultra conservative Prescott AZ, where he returned a rental car with a crack pipe in it. They didn't prosecute - probably difficult to establish chain of custody of the car, etc, and it's not the type of "personal use" case that typically gets prosecuted. But come on ... there's something out there!

Glad to hear we share a hatred of Bud Light. For whatever reason or reasons.

Don't Muslims do this every day during Ramadan? Weakest "hunger strike" ever.

Keep trying. Here's the simple, obvious explanation: nutcases like MTG and Boebert are deeply infected by QAnon. Remember your old friend Deranged Rhino? Remember how he wasn't just fascinated with sex and children and martial law, but also all worked up about UFOs? Same thing here. Deny all you want ... this was a QAnon influenced hearing supported by QAnon nutcases in Congress. Oh, and by the way: they hate your Pope too. And think before you re-post idiotic comments. The Republican Chair controls the agenda. You can do better.

Yep. She was. I didn't understand what the hell she was doing 30 years ago. "Stop child abuse" and ripping up a photo of the pope? Oh. Now I get it. RIP. What a talent. What a sad end.

"Secret peeping." I guess there's such a thing as "open peeping?"

I don't think they "stink." They are more mediocre, kind of a .500ish team, which in this division probably leaves them in the 8-9, 7-10 range. Payton is an arrogant blowhard. But after watching Nathaniel Hackett and Fangio before him, I gotta admit its kind of fun. At least for now.

True. That was a very different Randall Cunningham. And the best Randall Cunningham ever was, even at 35, and even as his age meant his legs were no longer a big weapon. Too bad it only lasted one season. Kaepernick came really, really close ...

Thank you for re-posting the SINGLE MOST IDIOTIC COMMENT OF THE YEAR. The one in which "they" - namely, the REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE* held stupid UFO hearings in some kind of bizarre own-goal to distract voters from the impending economic collapse caused by Biden. *The Committee majority that includes such geniuses as Marjorie Taylor Green, her b!tch Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Jim Jordan, Byron Donalds. You know, the committee that rides the short bus.

Lawrence in his second year was ahead of Allen in his second year. While it is no certain thing that he'll take the Allen 2020 leap, it's promising. And he still has the Texans twice, the Colts twice (I'd expect Anthony Richardson to play and to be like a rookie Justin Fields), and the Titans with maybe a rehabbed Tannehill, or maybe a quick trigger if they start poorly to go with Will Levis. So they have a Bills 2020-21 type setup as a strong team in what will be a really weak division.

No, but we had runaway inflation that hadn't really been tamed by the time of the election. Guess what? It's been tamed well over a year before the 2024 election. You are proving my point: the beginnings of panic at the thought that the economic numbers/situation may actually be good come Fall 2024. Republicans in 2022: "the Fed just keeps printing money! That's why we have this runaway inflation!" Republicans in 2023: "give us back our easy money!"
