Here A Grift, There A Grift, Everywhere A Grift

Hunter Biden was the Republicans' example of Democratic nepotism for years. Supposedly, Hunter was making millions around the globe due to his father. And, Republicans were furious. How dare these dirty Democrats?! 

It's odd, though, Republicans aren't concerned with the rampant nepotism in the Trump administration. His children and their spouses all seem to be on the payroll. Republican cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Wisconsin, We Can Do Better Than Derrick Van Orden (Part 2)

After Charlie Kirk assassination, Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden fans the flames

As soon as the news broke that Kirk was shot while on stage at Utah Valley University, Van Orden began a stream of increasingly unhinged social media posts blaming Democrats and the media for the murder and declaring “the gloves are off.”

“The leftwing political violence must stop now,” Van Orden tweeted. In another post he wrote, “The left and their policies are leading America into a civil war. And they want it. Just like the democrat party wanted our 1st civil war.”


“Is Derrick here?” asked U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, the Democratic congressman representing Wisconsin’s 2nd Congressional District, which includes Dane County. Pocan was in Eau Claire, the 3rd Congressional District represented by Derrick Van Orden, a Republican, on Saturday, May 31, at a town hall organized by Opportunity Wisconsin, a coalition of grassroots groups, at the Pablo Center at the Confluence, Eau Claire’s performing arts center.

Van Orden was invited to attend the event but declined.

Van Orden has said he prefers telephone town halls where the meeting isn’t dominated by people he describes as leftwing critics, and he also has said that his family has received death threats and is vulnerable in an in-person setting.

If Trump is going to start taking over cities and states based on crime rates, Republican states are the place to start. As the data above shows, the overwhelming majority of crime occurs in Republican states. But let's not delude ourselves, Republicans aren't concerned with justice, crime, safety, or economics. As usual, this a just another power grab and a general affront to democracy.
