The biggest takeaway is that Republicans, especially Greene, have a huge hard-on for Hunter’s dick.

    Toward the end of the hearing, Moskowitz pointed out that if the issue is that Biden won’t testify, it could be easily resolved then and there. After all, Biden was at the hearing.

    But when Moskowitz asked for a show of hands from people who wanted to hear Biden’s testimony, almost no Republicans raised their hand.

        Every challenger of every one of those Republicans should be showing that footage in their campaign ads. They are admitting they just want to fool the American people.

      And before that, one of the Democrats (I forget which one) pointed out that the chair of the committee said that Hunter could choose to testify in public or private as long as he testified. Hunter chose in public. The chair disputed this and the Democratic Representative said “I really don’t want to play the video, but I have your exact words here.”

      The guy was trying to change the offer after the fact from “public or private, your choice” to “you can testify publicly, but only after you testify in private.”

      What are Republicans scared of that they don’t want Hunter to testify in public? Of course, we all know the answer. They’re afraid that their imagined giant conspiracy theory will be revealed to be based on nothing. (Well, revealed even more than it currently is.) They’re also afraid that they can’t misquote Hunter if his actual quotes are on public video. It’s a lot easier to say “Hunter replied ‘my dad used his influence to get me a job’” when there’s no video showing that his answer was actually “at no point did my dad use his influence to get me a job.”

    In the past, she’s displayed pornography. Are pornographic photos allowed to be displayed in this room?

    — Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-8) Objecting to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) entering items into the record.

    It’s not pornography.

    — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14)

    Oh okay well you’re the expert.

    — Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-8)

    That part, I was done. I just couldn’t seriously watch it any longer. That whole thing from start to that point was a complete shit show.

    This one made me laugh way too hard. Jesus Christ.

    Mace: You’re the epitome of white privilege, coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, You have no balls to come up here and –

    Moskowitz: We can hear from Hunter Biden right now

    Mace: Are women allowed to speak?!? Hunter Biden should be arrested right here

    But this one made me wake up my family from howling.

    I have trouble finding humor in and laughing at the signs of our fall from democracy. But this had me in stitches
