I think you are missing the part where they just don’t give a flying fuck about the facts. ---

> [@HoneyBadgerDC](#): > > If nothing happens, I will still be convinced that something should have happened. The circumstantial evidence is beyond overwhelming. I think that says it all folks. I mean, even Republicans are not claiming to have evidence of anything after their: 1. “Hours of tapes” didn’t materialize 2. Star witness gave a deposition that completely exonerated JB 3. Other star witness turned out to be a fugitive, trying to play the freedom caucus for immunity But no matter. Your mind’s made up. ---

Many years ago, I remember seeing a TV show about Anna Anderson, who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. There were interviews with people who believed her, and with some who didn’t. Although Anna had died, and her body been cremated, a tissue sample was obtained from a hospital she had been to. A DNA test was arranged to compare that sample with relatives of the Tsar and Tsarina. In an interview with one of Anderson’s believers, he said that if the test was negative, he’d accept the result. Well, that’s what the test showed all right; and the sample actually matched the family of a missing factory worker from Poland. When presented with the result, that same believer said it couldn’t be right, that Anna’s aristocratic demeanor couldn’t have been a factory worker, etc. I don’t know how to reach people like that. ---

Since I probably can’t say it elsewhere (specifically, the Biden Impeachment Inquiry thread where HB is just so confident that a scandal is breaking) I just want to say it here. **Honeybadger is really fucking stupid.** There! I feel much better! ---

He dropped a turd in the Biden impeachment thread about “170 times of suspicious money laundering” and “Over 20,000,000 in payout” with no explanation at all of what the hell he’s talking about. Then two posts later says he “won’t comment anymore here.” What a disingenuous, shit-stirring asshole. ---

> [@flurb](#): > > no explanation at all of what the hell he’s talking about. That what galls me: he doesn’t even posit a _theory_ of where this leads. There should be some point where we all go “Oh, yeah, if that’s true, that’s bad.” The _closest_ I’ve ever heard is the effort Joe Biden made to fire the Burisma prosecutor. But that has been shown - time and time again - to be bullshit on its face. So what, exactly, am I supposed to be outraged about? As best as I can tell, “money from foreigners” is all that I should need to trigger my inner xenophobe. ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > The _closest_ I’ve ever heard is the effort Joe Biden made to fire the Burisma prosecutor. But that has been shown - time and time again - to be bullshit on its face. Just for clarity, and I’m sure this is what you meant, Biden _did_ pressure the Ukraine government to fire Shokin, but it was because he _wasn’t_ prosecuting corruption. And JB was not the only voice calling for this – the EU and IMF were all suggesting he be replaced. Once again we’d be in “worldwide conspiracy” territory, this time just to keep Hunter in Gucci loafers. Oh, and also Shokin’s investigation didn’t even cover the period of time in which Hunter worked. ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > They were _bribing_ Biden to take the same position as _everybody else_? Really?? Well, in the mind of their hero, “don’t do anything for free that you can do for pay.” Undoubtedly, the degenerates think it’s the height of cleverness to make people pay you to do what you were going to do anyway, like their paragon. Every accusation is a confession. ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > They were _bribing_ Biden to take the same position as _everybody else_? Really?? And further, bribing him to replace a prosecutor with someone who might actually look into the corruption that Hunter may or may not have been complicit in, assuming there actually was a corrupt act in the first place. ---

The guy admittedly likes his controlled substances. He’s got a Jekyll, Hyde, and Dopey split online personality. Which of the three shows up in any given post depends on his recent dosages of mind-altering substances and mind-sapping propaganda. I do NOT mean this as a serious accusation, but some days it’s almost like he’s a reverse sock: three different people are posting on the same userID. To be clear he always owns up to what he’s written, so it’s not a real case of multiple people or multiple personalities. Just multiple very different moods showing through. I’ve certainly posted a few whiskey-fueled overly-aggressive posts over the years vs. my usually rather measured persona. But he raises it to a fine art. ---

It could lead to a certain amount of confusion, depending whether CO2 refers to the wonderful plant-friendly gas carbon dioxide (the more the better!), or to the despicable Criminal Operative Two (Hunter Biden) who will lead us inevitably to Criminal Operative One. ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > I’m really hoping for a _Biden. Crime. Family._ / _let me tell you about CO2 'cause global warming isn’t real_ crossover. That gives me an excellent idea. Let’s work to convince the NewsMax-o-sphere that the Biden Crime Family skims a dollar off every gallon of gasoline sold in the USA. And $1.50 from each gallon of diesel. The only way to stop the BCF is to quit buying fossil fuels. And especially diesel like your coal-roller needs. All good RWTs need to drive EVs. What a great CT / corruption scandal! The utter absence of any evidence this is true is probably it’s most damning feature. Let’s watch Hunter deny that one! ---

I mean it’s kind of true, to the extent that the Deep State is intertwined with the Biden Crime Family (although the federal part of gas tax is only about 20c). Now you’ve got me wondering if we could stop them watching Fox News if we start a conspiracy theory that since Bill Gates’ plan to distribute microchips in the COVID vaccine has failed, he’s now putting microchips in all phones, computers and TVs. ---
