So much for the idea of republicans defending the first amendment. The second in line of succession to the presidency is one of those republicans that hate the first amendment.

I'm so confused. For months now Republicans in the house have been pushing a story that Hunter Biden needs to be impeached. So they subpeonaed him to come testify before the House Oversight Committee. Yet when he agreed to do so James Comer got all bent out of shape that Hunter has the nerve to insist that the deposition be held publicly. Makes one wonder what it is that Comer is hiding. Perhaps that the Republicans have zero evidence that Hunter did anything to warrant impeachment and will end up looking even more like fools than they already do?
You're probably confused because Hunter Biden is not a public servant holding a position within the government and therefore cannot be impeached. As for his request that his congressional deposition in his father's impeachment inquiry be held in public, I'm not sure depositions are generally handled that way. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I went over to the island where our county seat is this morning, through some very very thick fog. At one point I hid out in a small cove until I heard the ferry's horn, and could detect its wake, then snuck out and following in the wake of the ferry, until it finally popped out into the open about 8 miles later.
I was visiting the County Canvassing Board, which was having the election certification meeting this morning. It was fascinating to watch, and I was impressed with the care and diligence that they had applied to every single ballot. After they were done, they gave me a tour of the system/process they use for verification and auditing, and it was pretty darned solid.
Then they handed me my certificate, and I walked it across the street to the Courthouse and got sworn into office ASAP. Took our wee boat back, headed to the fire department district offices, and handed in my credentials and those of my just-elected co-conspirators. Called a special meeting for tomorrow to Make The Fire Department Great Again :-)
Go go democracy!

I think correctly stated the GOP is on a fishing expedition with Hunter hoping they will uncover something on Joe, maybe influence peddling, or something like that. My understanding is that they've come up with a big goose egg of anything meaningful on Joe so far, but are still pressing the issue as part of their political theater. It doesn't seem like even their cohorts in the GOP are in favor of all of this. Maybe it gives Jim Jordan something to do and he does have a way of twisting the truth.

Sure, that's exactly what they're looking for. The possibility of influence peddling by Joe is hard to prove because it's done through an intermediary, Hunter. It's interesting that the only American hostage yet to be released by Hamas is the great niece of an art patron who didn't buy overpriced art from Joe, but did from Hunter. Hmmm!

I honestly hope that any wrongdoing will come to light. Hunter is a piece of work. I do wonder if the Humas could have been listening to Tucker Carlson, although that does seem a bit odd?
I don't think Donald has a monopoly on shady politicians, he's just the worst that I/we know of. It makes sense to me to create a counter drama, true or not, to take the spotlight off of Donald.

Considering how often his father is mentioned by house republicans in relation to their questions about hunter biden forgive me for the confusion. It's those republicans that seem to think Hunter is a public official. Nonetheless, I doubt Hunter is going to appear before congress since Gym Jordan and others who actually are government officials have taught us that congressional subpeonas are optional. I hadn't realized that detail about subpeonas being optional until a few years ago, but I'm always eager to learn new things.
