Based on that last panel, I wonder what the GOP version of Monopoly or Life would be if remade. Or Risk. ---

That’s useful if you don’t want to leave obvious bruises. I wouldn’t have that concern. ---

Use a sturdy mesh net bag, maybe double-bagging to be sure. ---

Bumping this thread to add the fact that Tucker Carlson used Hunter Biden’s help to get his kid into Georgetown. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. > **[Oops: Tucker Carlson Allegedly Asked Hunter Biden to Write His Son a College...](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/12/tucker-carlson-hunter-biden-georgetown-recommendation)** > > So that’s curious. ---

Why Hunter Biden, of all people? I shan’t poke fun at naming your son Buckley even if it is very 80’s frat villain-y. And Tucker is like a hagfish anyway-he can turn on himself easily with no ill effects. ---

The article said that Tucker Carlson and his wife were friends with Hunter Biden and his wife. > “Hunter Biden was my neighbor. Our wives were friends. I knew him well. I talked to him many times about addiction, something I know a lot about,” Carlson said. “And I’ve said that. I think that Hunter Biden is an addict and that’s why his life is falling apart, and I feel bad for him. I’ve said that many times, and I mean it.” ---

IIUC, When reaching a settlement, the parties don’t need to reveal all the agreements they reach. I like to think this was part of the Dominion requests. ---

Or maybe they told Carlson he had to pay it back and his new salary was minimum wage. Hopefully Sean Inanity is next. ---

Plenty of opportunities exist for Tucker Carlson. Among them - a radio show (i.e. on the Sirius satellite network) and a Substack blog/newsletter (some of those have been monetized through subscriptions to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually).\* He could also write books to be snapped up by his adoring public. A consulting gig for the Trump campaign, perhaps. And of course, potential TV landing spots remain. \*while Substack is notorious for hosting political weirdos and science deniers, there are rational and useful voices there too.
