Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Projection All The Way Down

 Look, Hunter Biden is a mid-level fuck up. He's not an epic, colossal fuck up, just a guy suffering from addiction who coasted a bit on his family name. Has he done anything as corrupt as whatever the hell Jared Kushner was up to in the Middle East? Of course not. Do any of his acts come within shouting distance of the many crimes of Donald Trump? Don't be silly.

But Hunter Biden's sins are all the GOP has going for them, so they are going to flog them to placate the faithful, even if the allegations are bullshit.
