When In Doubt, Pivot To The Laptop

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

Since January Republicans have been using their hanging-by-a-thread majority in the House to launch fake investigations into the various entities investigating Donald Trump, host photo-ops with fake explosives at the border and seize on any and all opportunities to yell about Hunter Biden’s laptop. It’s a well-worn Republican strategy at this point – a one-size-fits-all distraction tactic designed to give GOPers an out to not engage seriously, one that walks and talks like “but her emails.”

I’m kinda in favor of the "patriot moat’ idea. It’s ideal. I don’t know if they can find a contractor who is willing to undertake such a project or if they will have to call on the Proud Boys to dig it, but if it keeps people from getting in to arrest TFG, then think of who and what else will be barricaded out (and in),

I found some good news this morning, it is a report from CNN saying that the Fulton County DA is thinking of charging Trump with racketeering charges and conspiracy charges. It all makes sense if she does because Trump was trying to shake down the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find those 12,000 plus votes for him.

I watched this yesterday and Ben Meiselas talks about the Hunter Biden’s lawsuit against the computer repair shop owner and James Comer should shut up because this is the first step of Hunter Biden’s plan on going after those who were involved with the laptop.

“The Laptop” doesn’t seem to be getting much traction. It’s even a snoozer among some in MAGA. Imagine that.

Barnes was moved to finally tell the story amid news of Carter’s failing health. A must read: “History needs to know that this happened.

These sick m-fers can’t even allow Carter to die in peace. It’s not like the guy didn’t know this had happened, but now you have to tarnish his leaving of this world with the BS that ended his Presidency?

There are no words.
