Hunter Biden is willing to testify publicly, his lawyer says amid House GOP efforts to discredit him and the president

Lawyer Abbe Lowell said the president’s son is willing to testify in a public hearing before the House Oversight Committee in response to a subpoena this month that is seeking a deposition. It is a striking escalation in the battle between the president’s son and congressional Republicans, who have focused on his past business dealings and have launched impeachment hearings aimed at President Biden.

QOTD – Not The Dating Kind

"It’s an amusing truth that comes up with regularity: Men who love Donald Trump struggle on the dating market. This is neither surprising nor regrettable. Supporting Trump is much like refusing to bathe, blowing your nose in your hands or farting loudly on purpose. It’s a repugnant habit that makes you repulsive to normal people. The whole point of dating and marriage is to find happiness, not to spend the rest of one’s days suffering in silence while the racist you live with cackles over Greg Gutfeld’s latest hateful diatribe disguised as ‘comedy.’ [snip]

“But of course, women’s happiness is not actually the concern of the Washington Post editorial board. The more serious argument comes from their insistence that cross-political marriages will help save the nation from ‘the Trump-era divisions’ and social ills stemming from men’s misogyny. Basically, it’s a gussied-up version of the classic ‘Beauty and the Beast’ fantasy, where a woman’s love can turn the brute into a prince. It’s cruel on its face to expect women to give up their own happiness in hopes they can turn a redhat into a better man through patience and love. But it’s also a false hope. It’s hard enough to get anyone to change their minds about politics. Trying to get men who already think women are inferior to listen to their liberal wives is a joke…”Amanda Marcotte, in Salon , writing why “It’s a good thing women won’t date Trump voters,” an opinion in opposition to a brain- dead, misogynist editorial (no link!) in the fast- declining Washington Post that essentially urges women to overlook political objections and give those Trumpers some lovin’. Marcotte’s response in full is a great response and well worth the read.
