[Mr. Dazzle]

Is Hunter Biden an elected official, or running for an office? If not, then what have his actions got to do with anything? If there’s evidence that he’s committed a crime then pass it to the police and let them get on with it.

Or is this just another US political witch-hunt?

Accusation is that he provided access to Daddio, Veep at the time, for cash. So yeah it would be politically significant if true.

Paying money for access and influence over political movers and shakers is an issue in the USA? LOL. It's an established industry here and there. We have politicians flying off on jollies to foreign parts, lobbyists with parliamentary passes, campaign donations etc etc. I'm surprised it's an issue.

"When parliamentarians receive all this money from companies, what exactly do they think it's for? For doing such a wonderful job?"

I think it was nice that crack head prostitute client Hunter decided to keep details of all this shady family bullshit on the computer he forgot he dropped off for repair... & this is "The smartest man I know" according to Joe Biden.

The FBI have had all the info AND the laptop for about two years now.. & they can't deny what's on it because other people also have copies of it.

First, it wasn’t Hunter’s laptop.
Then they admitted it was his laptop, but argued it was Russian “disinformation.”
Then they admitted it wasn’t disinformation, but assured us Joe Biden wasn’t involved.
Now, it looks like Joe was involved, but they’re telling us he did nothing wrong (even though the emails & other documents show he was in it up to his neck).

Care to guess what the next excuse will be?

Well. If they can spin it out for another two years* they can just sweep it under the carpet: "Joe's not president mow so it doesn't really matter any more."


* Or another couple of months: "Joe's an old man suffering from dementia, He's not president mow so it doesn't really matter any more."

Fauci appeared at a WH presser briefing today to talk about his impending retirement & said he'd take questions... Then someone asked one that Karine Jean-Pierre (WH Press Sec) didn't like, at which point she came unglued at the podium & shut it down.

Nobody here really cares
Another mass shooting in the US - nobody cares about that

Mainly because the US can't be bothered to address its own issues before meddling in others

The Supreme Court has ruled that the SNP cannot hold another independence referendum without the UK governments consent.

Wee Krankie is going to be spitting thistles!

Who'd ave thunked dat? Law iz da law afteralls.

Honestly, wasting millions on a vanity project that would crash the finances of a nation and cause a rift in social economics.

[Cousin Jack]

Cut em loose, and build a wall!

Scotland contributes less to and takes more from the whole UK economy than it's fair share. If they really want independence then let them have it, but that means no special deals. We will have significant costs (setting up border crossing points, moving Faslane to Plymouth, etc), but when they recognise the enormity of what the Poison Dwarf is foisting on them they will reconsider. And we will take them back, but on our terms!

[Mr. Dazzle]

They're over represented in Parliament too, the bastards!

You tell 'em Jack! Hadrian would be proud.

When you say 'contributes less too' I assume you've factored in all the money from their oil and gas that went kerrrrching! into the Westminster coffers? (Which they took good care of, just like Norway has.....Oh. Hang on...)

How does that viewpoint relate to your sig about remembering An Gof?

Who'd ave thunked dat? Law iz da law afteralls.

Honestly, wasting millions on a vanity project that would crash the finances of a nation and cause a rift in social economics.

Its also causing grief within families again. My dad and his sister who were always close for decades were barely on speaking terms in the run up to the last vote as my aunt is fiercely pro independence (car logo'ed up and all that jazz) and my dad thinks independence is a terrible idea. Once the vote was done things improved and normality resumed but with Sturgeon cracking about having yet another "once in a lifetime" vote a few years on hostilities have resumed.

You would think looking at the fallout and problems Brexit has bestowed on us would give them a clue if its a good idea or not but hey ho

[Mr. Dazzle]

To be fair we've had several rounds of "once in a lifetime" government borrowing, snowfall, flooding and hot weather too in the past few years, so what's another referendum between friends?

[ZRX61]

Maybe get the (formerly East) Germans to build this one, not the Italians...

[cheb]

The £20 million it would cost wouldn't even cover the next overspend on the Clyde nearly built ferries for out here.

The replacement ferries for the ones that haven't been finished yet are being built in Turkey. It'd be hilarious if the replacements are ready sooner. The much vaunted greener LPG fueling for the Clydebuilt ones is quietly being dropped.

Political gossip has it that Sturgeon will stand down as leader and try to get aboard the international gravy train as a successful elder statesperson.

What’s the point in fighting about it? They can just vote whatever way they want, or not vote.

Repeating my previous referendum self, the U.K. shouldn’t rush into getting rid of a third of its land mass.

You don't know friends/family that fell out over the Brexit vote??

I agree, there's little point fighting about it. But many many people do
