WATCH Chuck Todd Smack Down Ron Johnson For His Obsession With Hunter Biden

“Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd took issue with Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) insistence that Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has broken the law and pointed out that Johnson has yet to investigate the actions of former Trump administration adviser Jared Kushner.

During an interview with Johnson, Todd asked the senator:

“Senator, do you have a crime that you think Hunter Biden committed. Because I’ve yet to see anybody explain. It is not a crime to make money off of your last name.”

Johnson responded:

“Chuck, you ought to read the Marco Polo report, where they detail all kinds of potential crimes.”

The Marco Polo report was published by a right-wing group, is 634 pages long, and provides virtually no concrete evidence of any crimes committed by Hunter Biden.

That led the host to counter:

“Let me stop you there. Potential is innuendo. That’s why you do investigation!”

Johnson:

“Chuck, is it a crime to be soliciting and purchasing prostitution in potentially European sex trafficking operations? Is that a crime? Because Chuck Grassley and I laid out about $30,000 paid by Hunter Biden to those types of individuals over December of 2018, 2019, about $30,000. That’s about the same time that President Biden offered to pay about $100,000 of Hunter Biden’s bills. I mean, again, that’s just some information. I don’t know exactly if it’s a crime.”

Todd reminded Johnson about Jared Kushner:

“It seems to me if you’re concerned about what Hunter Biden did, you should be equally outraged about what Jared Kushner did.”

The senator huffily replied:

“I’m concerned about getting to the truth. I don’t target individuals.”

That’s when Todd laid a smackdown on the the senator:

“You don’t? You’re targeting Hunter Biden multiple times on this show, Senator. You’re targeting an individual.”

Attempting to regain control of the interview, Johnson then accused Todd of being the problem:

“Chuck, you know, part of the problem — and this is pretty obvious to anybody watching this — is you don’t invite me on to interview me. You invite me on to argue with me. You know, I’m just trying to lay out the facts that certainly Senator Grassley and I uncovered.

“And part of the reason are our politics are inflamed is we do not have an unbiased media. We don’t. It’s unfortunate.

“Primarily it occurs from the left.”

That led Todd to drop a nuclear bomb of truth on the senator:

“Senator, look, we’re trying to deal with issues here and facts. You can go back on your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media bias all you want, I understand it’s part of your identity.”

WATCH: Asked About Jan. 6, GOP Rep. Responds, ‘Can We Keep It About Hunter Biden?’

For two years now, congressional Republicans have said they wanted to focus on inflation and other economic items, and yet now that they’ve narrowly won control of the House, they’re making it clear their real goal is to launch one investigation after another as a way of harming President Joe Biden politically.

Take, for example, a press conference held Thursday by several GOP House members of the Judiciary and Oversight committees.

Reporters asked there would be any hearings on the fallout from the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol:

“Do you think the Jan. 6 insurrectionists have been wrongly imprisoned?” 

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who is expected to be chairman of the Judiciary Committee, replied:

“I didn’t say anything! All I said is we’re going to look at the politics of the Justice Department based on the fact that we have had 14 different — actually more than 14 now — whistleblowers come talk to us.”

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) interjected:

“If we could keep it about Hunter Biden. This is kind of a big deal we think. If we can keep it about Hunter Biden that would be great.”

Another reporter asked about the future of the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6, to which a testy Comer responded:

“I think that’s a question for Kevin McCarthy.”

The next two years in the House of Representatives are going to be a clown show on steroids. But that’s what happens when you put idiots in charge of anything.

Lauren Boebert Makes A Fool Of Herself With A Grammatically Flawed Attack On Hunter Biden

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) proved yet again that she’s one of the most intellectually deficient members of Congress with a tweet she sent out Sunday in which she referenced a speech she made at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that was held in Dallas over the weekend.

HuffPost reports:

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) shared a video of herself pacing the stage at CPAC as she ranted against Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden and a popular talking point in right-wing circles.

Just one problem: In a tweet with a clip of the rant, Boebert apparently wanted to call him “compromised,” but instead called him “comprised.”

Boebert later deleted the tweet after Dictionary.com subtweeted her:

But even though Boebert tried to hide the evidence of her ignorance, the internet is forever and screenshots live on:

“Comprised” even began trending on social media, and it wasn’t long before Twitter handed out the mockery Boebert deserved:

Stephanie Ruhle Lays An Perfect Smackdown On Elon Musk When He Tries To Troll Hunter Biden

Not so terribly long ago, Elon Musk was seen as one of the shrewdest and most successful entrepreneurs around, riding high and achieving the title of richest man in the world.

Now, however, after Musk launched a wildly overpriced $44 billion takeover bid of Twitter which he’s trying to renege on at the moment and stock in Tesla Motors has gotten crushed in the market, Elon is little more than a cautionary tale. Yes, he’s still a billionaire, but his bizarre behavior (and fondness for impregnating almost every women he meets) has turned him into something of a joke.

Perhaps hoping to remain semi-relevant and rile up those who worship him like a god (sounds a bit like another “great businessman,” doesn’t it?) Musk decided he’d take to Twitter and troll Hunter Biden with this semi-humorous posting:

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle saw Musk’s tweet and decided she’d reply, telling him this:

That’s a fair point, and be sure to note that Ruhle didn’t resort to name-calling or trying to counter-troll Musk.

And yet, Musk went low instead of high:

In the world of spoiled rich boy assholes that Elon Musk inhabits, Ruhle probably should have lit him up and made fun of him, but she didn’t, and that alone proves she’s a much better person than he’ll ever be.

So what say you, Elon? Are you willing to debate a smart, strong woman, or are you too busy losing what’s left of your fortune paying child support and attorney retainers? I’m betting you won’t because you’re a coward who prefers to hide behind his Twitter account.

Lauren Boebert Gets A Twitter Slap Down When She Calls Joe Biden ‘A Compromised Politician’

Much like her political hero, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) clearly doesn’t bother to read her tweets before she hits the “send” button.

Evidence of that was on full display Thursday when Boebert decided she’d attack President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, even though the Justice Department just announced that Hunter paid his taxes and didn’t break any tax laws.

However, the Colorado Republican decided to focus on a laptop that the president’s son once owned, as reported by the New York Times:

“People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”

That led Boebert to tweet out this:

Joe Biden is a compromised politician? Sure, Lauren, we can admit it right after you admit that Donald Trump, his family, and his company are all compromised by their connections to Russia.

Don’t bother holding your breath waiting for that admission from Ms. Boebert. After all, she thinks the ex-president is honest, trustworthy, and a great businessman.

The social media slap down of Boebert was immediate:

How wonderful the world would be if everyone could read and comprehend at the same time.
