Any chance of Hunter suing the shit out of GTV?

Nope. Defamation is for injury to the plaintiff’s reputation, and no way would any sane person with Hunter’s history want to open his life wide open to discovery.

Not much. There may be some “there” there. When he finally made a statement about the whole deal, he curiously did not deny that there might be a laptop of his floating around out there.

If that’s the case, keeping his mouth shut and his head down is probably the smarter choice.

Point taken. A lot of his shit has already been broadcast far and wide, but I suppose there could always be something even more embarrassing to find about a drug addict. It’s not like he has the privacy protections of, say, your average republican SC nominee.

GTV, a Chinese news and social media platform operated by GTV Media Inc.

I think it would be more correct to call it an American-based Chinese-language platform.

Though if they were aiming for a competent master plan, they would probably want someone who “looks American” and isn’t a weird and eccentric billionaire who couldn’t connect with “average” Americans without decades of additional coaching.

He could certainly be a CCP agent, but I doubt he’s the lynchpin of any “master plan.” More likely, the left hand there to distract attention from what the right hand is doing.

Like it did in ‘The Thing’?

(Maybe that’s what was oozing out of Rudy’s head.)

Why is it so many Republicans can’t make an honest living? Many of them lie and cheat on everything they do.

Reminiscent of another quote:

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you. — Lyndon B. Johnson

OT, but this KKKlown makes Georgetown Law look like fucking Romper Room every time he opens his mouth:

Turley on Abortion: Yeah yeah, Roe v. Wade makes it a Constitutional right, but the states should be allowed to violate it with impunity and without DOJ or other Federal interference .

Turley on Vaccine Mandates: Yeah yeah, Jacobson and other cases uphold vaccine mandates and OSHA is a totally Constitutional statutory and regulatory schema that validly delegates the authority to enact “temporary emergency standards”, and Biden did give everyone the option of vaccinating or regular testing, but this is all unconstitutional, illegal and executive branch overreach.

FUCKING. KKKLOWN.

Excerpts:

  • Sheathed in bulletproof glass imported from Germany and Spain, a six-story, six-bedroom postmodern fortress on East 64th Street was custom-designed in 2015 for Argentine billionaire Eduardo Eurnekian. But for at least a year it has served as a supposed consulate for the “New Federal State of China,” declared by ex-White House strategist Stephen Bannon and his flamboyant Chinese patron, fugitive businessman Guo Wengui.

Earpiece-wearing guards stalk an otherwise historic block, while a star-spangled national flag designed by Guo himself dangles from a pole mounted to the swerving facade. In the doorway alcove, just past the unwavering eye of a security camera, metal letters spell out “The Himalaya Embassy.”

  • Like his houseguests, Eurnekian has been publicly hostile to the Chinese regime, warning his native country’s left-of-center leaders in a 2019 interview against pursuing closer relations with the Asian giant.

But Eurnekian seems perfectly fine with doing business with the Beijing government himself. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing in April, his company Corporación América Airports reported $65.7 million in outstanding loans from a group of institutions that included the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Meanwhile, in June, an energy firm Eurnekian controls acquired the entireArgentinian portfolio of Sinopec, the state-run oil exploiter, for a reported $240 millionless than one-tenth what Sinopec had paid for the 20-plus oil and gas fields a decade before.

…and so on…

She writhed under the mass of his belly, sweating and out of breath. “I can’t breathe”, she whispered, which only made him more vigorous as he felt the power of the police forces which he had yearned to join, but for the unfortunate bone spurs which kept him from being the front-line enforcer that he had always dreamed of being.
