Hire a few more attorneys and I guess they can do more on the more complicated parts of the investigation.

People typically accept the idea of patriotic sacrifice in times of war. Germany has declared a national gas warning and is encouraging people and firms to reduce energy consumption where possible and will resort to rationing as needed. The US, which accounts for about 18% of primary energy consumption globally, could make a large impact through reducing consumption. Rather than rely exclusively on the pricing mechanism, shared sacrifice seems like a viable message at this point.

Bigger fish maybe, but how long until they start going after the big fish. You know they likely are going to take forever once they start and they haven’t even gotten to that part yet. But hey, I hear hunter biden has been investigated a bunch of times

I think it depends on whether Number One is suffering more from Redworms or Roundworms in their Number Two.

One of the co-presidents of CBS News told upset network employees that Trump’s former White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, was hired to be a contributor because “getting access to both sides of the aisle is a priority” and “we know the Republicans are going to take over, most likely, in the midterms,”

Damn that liberal media! So liberally ready to accommodate the fascists because of such a liberal prediction. Why are they so biased!
