    Hunter was basically working as a lobbyist... using his name and connections to curry favor... something that is basically an entire industry in this country.

     

    I have to imagine that this situation is not unusual at all. It would be funny if this resulted in a bunch of laws being passed to stop this sort of thing, because it would cut deep into both parties...

     

    Do it.

    It’s very funny watching fail sons who inherited their ski doo and hot tub businesses from dear ole papa get upset about Hunter. Double so for Don Jr

    That's what's so funny, there is such a never-ending string of Trump scandals that nothing seems to really stick around, but this Joe Biden / Hunter thing just won't die.

    The reality based media rightly realized that what Hunter did was and is common practice in Washington: using your familial connection for access, real or imagined, with and to someone in government for their own monetary benefit. the right wing echo chamber rightly identifies this as a problem because it is an avenue to attack their enemies, but will offer no solution like ethics reform or even ethics reporting.  Nor any useful critique other than “Biden bad, here’s your proof!” Because they think this stuff is good, but it’s bad that the other guys do it

    Millions of children and families thrown back into poverty largely because of conservatives in both parties

    This is the only acceptable way to both sides an issue. Inflation helped with this as well.

    The share of Americans, particularly children, in poverty rose significantly last year, in large part because Congress did not renew a Covid-19 pandemic enhancement to the child tax credit, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday.

     

    Some 12.4% of children were in poverty last year, up from a record low of 5.2% the year before and roughly comparable to where it was prior to the pandemic in 2019, based on a broader alternative measure developed by the Census Bureau. It was the largest jump in child poverty since the Supplemental Poverty Measure began in 2009. The measure takes into account certain non-cash government assistance, tax credits and needed expenses – addressing a major flaw in the official poverty rate, economists say.

     

    Overall, the supplemental poverty rate was 12.4% for 2022, up from 7.8% a year earlier and higher than it was prior to the pandemic. It’s the first increase in the rate since 2010.

    The official poverty rate of 11.5% was not statistically different than the prior two years.

     

    Meanwhile, median household income was $74,580 last year, down 2.3% from 2021 and 4.7% lower than it was prior to the pandemic. The figures are adjusted for inflation.

     

    And the uninsured rate fell to 7.9% last year from 8.3% in 2021 and comparable to where it was in 2017. However, the recent advance is not expected to continue in 2023 since states have restarted terminating the Medicaid coverage of residents they deem ineligible.

    That's assuming that the Senate even bothers to take it up.

    Pretty easy to read that the senate must take it up, take their little oaths, and have CJJR preside. But I don’t suspect the trial would get more than 30 votes to convict. It would be an embarrassment and I suspect this is what Mitch has been telling McCarthy (a big reason I suspect that this sham impeachment has taken this long to happen)

    The reason, you ask? Well let’s ask Ken Buck, Freedumb Caucus member:

    Freedom Caucus Member Said There's No Evidence Biden Committed a Crime

    WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM
    Appearing on MSNBC, Rep. Ken Buck also railed against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, saying it's "absurd" to think she's an "expert on impeachment."

     

     

    but reports are coming that McCarthy is pushing for an impeachment vote anyway because the loony toons want it presumably so McCarthy can keep his job. So get ready for some more stupidity
