Hunter Biden gives House Republicans the rebuttal they didn’t want

Republican legislators and interviewers challenging the president’s son on the House majority’s behalf would throw out an allegation, often one that’s been worn smooth after tumbling around in the right-wing media universe for the past year or two. And Biden would invariably swat it away, stripping off the layers of innuendo that had been applied by Donald Trump and Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) or Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) or any of myriad Fox News commentators.

I can't believe I actually read the full transcript, but the interactions between Hunter and Matt Gaetz are hilarious

21 Mr. Lowell. Will the record show that we're all laughing?

22 The Witness. I mean, are you kidding me? No. I don't -- again --

23 Mr. Gaetz. So do you --

24 The Witness. I'm sorry, Mr. Gaetz, I'll take you seriously. And it's hard to do --

Hey - quick question for those who make articles available as gifts.

Are you paid subscribers, or just email-registered? Are you limited in the number of articles that you can gift per week/month-whatever?

26
- You don't even need a gift. Drop the url in archive.is and you'll get past the paywall.

  Archive.is doesn't work in Firefox. It never lets me past the captcha

- I’m a paying subscriber. Also I sometimes run across a gift link already shared by someone else. I’ll cut and paste that link to continue spreading a good article.

  Your doing the Lords work

- I subscribe to some, but mostly scraping them off social media.
  
  I sharply prefer posting gift links to archive sites because they make it clear what the source is before people click, and some of the archive sites block people because they don't like their DNS
  
  11
- I'm late, but find a couple archive sites and keep them bookmarked in your bookmark toolbar. When you find something that is behind a paywall, copy the link, open an archive site, and paste it in. It'll remove all of the javascript and such that content blocks.

Gaetz later tried to suggest that since Hunter Biden sometimes covered his father’s tab, that his and his father’s finances “were pretty interwoven.” (“Will the record show that we’re all laughing?” Biden attorney Abbe Lowell interjected.)

So my takeaway from this is that Gaetz and his cabana boy, ...er, sorry, his son, always split the tab whenever they go out for dinner so that their finances aren't interwoven.

- Think of the horrible person that Gaetz is and them imagine what his parents and siblings are like. There is no way that these people are close or treat each other well. Gaetz can't understand that families can be close, supportive, and get along.
  
  Decades of experience have shown me that conservatives don't show faith amongst family while liberals tend to invest in them. Conservatives can't fathom that some families are healthy and supportive.

  Only if they are white and conservative. If those two things are true they will never admit, regardless of proof otherwise, that such a family isn't perfect. If either of those points are false, to them there is no possibility that they could be healthy and supportive.

Damn. He kicked ass. I wish I could be that cool and smooth in situations like this.
