There is a notable filing this week in Los Angeles where Hunter Biden is seeking to dismiss one of his many lawsuits against individuals associated with disclosing or discussing the contents of his infamous laptop. While Hunter spent years suggesting that the laptop images and emails might be Russian disinformation (with the help of obliging mainstream media), the contents were found to be authentic by courts and agencies. In seeking to drop his lawsuit against an ex-White House aide, Garrett Ziegler, Biden claims to be, again, in financial ruin.
What is notable is not just the underlying claims of economic distress but who filed them. The attorney, Bryan M. Sullivan, a partner at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae LLP, previously threatened me and others with lawsuits for writing on the scandal in relation to support that Hunter received from lawyer Kevin Morris (who appeared to be both his financial backer and his lawyer).
Years ago, I wrote about how the Biden team had decided to use a scorched earth strategy to target critics. Various people, including myself, were threatened with lawsuits—actions that could drain the targets of hundreds of thousands of dollars and tie them up in court for years.
In my case, I received a letter from Sullivan that I could face a defamation action if I do not retract (or if I repeat) my criticism of Morris’s representational relationship with Hunter. I responded by immediately revealing the contents of his letter and repeating those allegations. Sullivan and Morris never sued.
Now, however, Sullivan is filing as counsel for Hunter and claiming that he is the victim of circumstances and that it would be unfair to continue litigation that he started in targeting one of his critics.
The filing cites the loss of the home in the recent fires. He does not own the home.
“Moreover, this lack of resources has been exacerbated after the fires in the Pacific Palisades in early January upended Plaintiff’s life by rendering his rental house unlivable for an extended period of time and, like many others in that situation, Plaintiff has had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living… So, Plaintiff must focus his time and resources dealing with his relocation, the damage he has incurred due to the fires, and paying for his family’s living expenses as opposed to this litigation.”
Hunter notes that the home is now “unlivable” and that he and his family are struggling to find permanent housing. He adds that he has “suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range.”
Hunter has reportedly received millions not just from alleged influence peddling over the years, but from friends in the forms of loans and support. Throughout those years, he has continued to live a relatively extravagant lifestyle.
One line of income was created through his art sales. However, there were reports of a collapse in the value of Hunter’s art with the departure of his father from office. With the loss in the value of his influence, there was a telling drop in the demand for his art.
However, there are now indications that even the prior demand was inflated by media reports.
Georges Bergès, Hunter Biden’s art gallerist, contradicted the White House’s claims about the handling of the art. Hunter reportedly did know who purchased roughly 70% of the value of his art, including Democratic donors Morris and Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali.
Biden’s allies in the media hyped the sales to show that Hunter was a legitimate artist. However, Bergès admitted that Morris actually purchased much of the art. Morris has reportedly given Hunter millions to cover unpaid taxes and expenses. Hunter only sold paintings to ten people for $1.5 million, according to congressional testimony from 2024. Morris bought 11 works for $875,000 in total.
The fires added an interesting wrinkle to the art controversy. As I explored in a prior column, the question was whether reports of some of the art being lost in the fire could result in the purchasers filing for insurance at inflated rates. There was even the possibility of Hunter filing for lost art.
Yet his lawyers are now claiming that he is in dire financial shape and cannot support the continuation of the lawsuit that he brought against Ziegler. What they seem most concerned about is that Ziegler will now seek fees and costs from Hunter. (Previously, Hunter was able to secure such costs from Ziegler for a filing that the court found meritless.)
The motion (below) provides new insights into how Hunter’s financial situation has declined due to his father and his family’s political influence.
The filing includes representations that:
“In the 2 to 3 years prior to December 2023, I sold 27 pieces of art at an average price of $54,481.48, but since then I have only sold 1 piece of art for $36,000. Similarly, for my book sales, in the six month period before the statements (April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023), based on the September 30, 2023 statement, 3,161 copies of my book were sold, but in the six months after the statements, only approximately 1,100 books were sold.”
Notably, Hunter also says he cannot tap others for financial support. If true, that itself would be an alarming change for the scion of the Biden family. Hunter has long been the Blanche DuBois of presidential children and “always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Now, he is claiming that “in that Plaintiff has suffered significant financial setbacks in the past year and cannot borrow any more money.”
The filing also acknowledged that he has brought lawsuits against other targets that may now have to be reexamined:
“Plaintiff acknowledges that he has other civil actions pending and is assessing each one on a case-by-case basis to allocate his limited resources. (Biden Decl., at ¶ 7). Plaintiff cannot describe the details of those analyses as it involves attorney-client communications and the attorney work doctrine.”
Yet, these litigants were also forced to spend money after being targeted by the Biden team. Now that Hunter has secured a pardon from his father and is ready to move on, he suggests that these other litigants see their cases dropped. They are also likely to balk at the suggestion that they should not go quietly into that night (without recouping some of their fees and costs).
While Hunter insists that he “does not have the resources to continue to litigate this matter,” Ziegler and other litigants are likely to point to the aggressive pattern of lawsuits as evidence of an effort to drain critics, including the role of Sullivan himself.
It is not clear if Ziegler and others are going to note the aggressive litigation strategy of Hunter and his lawyers in seeking fees or costs. Years ago, the Washington Post details how Morris called for a “more aggressive” response to those seeking to investigate the alleged influence peddling, including hitting critics, such as Fox News, with possible defamation lawsuits.
For those critics, the message (which was notably fed to the Post) was clear: criticize the Bidens and face financial or personal ruin. Now, the team may find that their targets may not want to simply dismiss the case and walk away. It is the litigation version of the old Chinese proverb that the problem with riding a tiger is always the dismount. The problem with hitting critics with aggressive lawsuits is always the dismissal.
Joe Biden was always just a bagman for the East-Coast corporeal interests headquartered in Delaware. They liked him. He had a nice smile and was corruptible. He was dumb enough to be compliant and smart enough to be grateful for all he didn’t deserve.
And now, everyone knows the real Joe. Richard Nixon must be smiling tonight.
Hunter’s lawyers are trying to make a record to fight future malicious prosecution suits Hunter and the law firms. An important element is success on the merits and most courts presume a voluntary dismissal is admission of lack of merit because litigants don’t usually voluntarily abandon their claims. Hunter is hoping a sympathetic judge makes a finding of hardship in a dismissal order.
The defendants should file counterclaims, if they haven’t already.
Jonathan: …Here is my promised follow up comment: Speaking of a “Significant downturn” what about the mess the “convicted felon” and five times over bankrupt has done to the federal government and the economy–and only 6 weeks into his new administration!
Take the tariffs. They were on and then DJT postponed them for 30 days. Finally, they went into effect on Tuesday and yesterday DJT caved and made exceptions for the 3 big US auto makers who cried wolf. They got a 30 day reprieve but the tariffs will go back on on April 2. Does DJT really expect US automakers to shift car and truck production back here in that short period? Just proves DJT knows absolutely nothing about how big complex companies are run. It would take years to reconfigure auto plants here. Besides US auto makers aren’t about to make such a huge change. They make cars and parts in Canada and Mexico because labor is cheaper. To move production back to the US would require paying more for labor and the end result would be the same–higher prices!
The stock market, businesses and farmers all require predictability–the ability to plan ahead. DJT has thrown that out the window in the first six weeks! That’s because DJT has a love affair with Tariffs. He thinks they are a panacea for every economic problem. He restated his “love” for tariffs in his address to Congress on Tuesday night. In his simplistic brain DJT wants to go back the McKinley era or earlier when tariffs of 50% helped protect growing US industry and American workers. But now we live in an international economy where US companies are dependent on foreign production. You can’t switch that off overnight. Since the 1980s the US has become a service economy. China, Mexico, Canada, South Korea and other countries are now the centers of production. And that is not going to change no matter how high DJT raises tariffs.
DJT lives in a “protectionist” 19th century bubble mentality that is causing massive disruptions in our economy. The stock market is in a tailspin. Companies here are raising prices on everything to compensate for DJT’s tariffs. Famers, especially those who sold their crops to companies doing business with USAid, are facing bankruptcy. And who is paying the price? It’s Consumers. And they are outraged–particularly for those who voted for DJT and believed his lie that he would bring down prices for groceries. Now it’s sticker shock for MAGA voters when they go into their local supermarket!
So there is “revolution” in the air. You can see it in the town hall meetings in MAGA districts. MAGA House Reps. are feeling the heat and pushback from their constituents. It’s the voters version of “shock and awe”. So what is Speaker Mike Johnson telling his MAGA colleagues. Just cancel future town halls. Put your hands over your ears. “Don’t listen to them” is Johnson’s remedy for the problem. That’s not a good sign for Republicans in the midterm elections because economists are now predicting the “S” word–“Stagflation” as early as the second quarter.
And like Mike Johnson, DJT is doing the same thing in his administration. Ignore the protests, growing joblessness and keep feeding voters with lies about how wonderful every thing is. Take egg prices. They are through the roof. So DJT’s Secy of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, is telling the public to build a chicken coop in the backyard! If Joe Biden told Americans to do that the Republicans would have immediately begun impeachment proceedings!
And DJT has other plans for covering up the truth about the economy. He wants to cook the books. DJT knows something about that. He cooked the books of his companies in NY to get favorable loans until AG Letitia James caught up with him. But DJT thinks Americans have a short memory and won’t see what he has now planned. DJT’s Secy of Commerce, Howard Ludnick, let the cat out of the bag on Fox News. There are two non-partisan commissions that have been around for decades to measure the economy. It’s all transparent in an attempt to give a clear picture of how the economy is doing. Ludnick has abolished those commissions. He wants to take GDP, a traditional measure of economic growth, out of the equation. As one economist said: “If you want to cook the books, first get rid of the experts”.
I have, unfortunately, run out my allotted space for one column. But I’ll be back tomorrow with more inciteful wisdom. In the meantime, buckle up folks because you are now on the “DJT Roller Coaster” and it’s about to go off the tracks!
Drunk?
After years of lying, Hunter Biden finally said something believable, that his income has tanked. Of course it has. The Biden Family industry was selling political favors and access for Joe Biden. Now that Joe Biden suffers from rapidly advancing dementia and physical frailty, Hunter Biden has nothing left to sell.
Hunter Biden knew the contents of that laptop were authentic and untampered with. He knew he’d signed a service agreement that allowed the laptop to become property of the computer repair store if left unclaimed after the specified period of time. He still filled aggressive lawsuits against those who truthfully described the contents of the lawfully acquired laptop, which was relevant to the 2020 presidential election. For those who are not a prominent attorney like Jonathan Turley, such a flurry of lawsuits would have been devastating. The owner of a computer repair shop, for example, would not have the resources to fight such lawsuits, and would have likewise depended upon the kindness of benefactors.
As a layperson, I would ask the attorneys on this blog if there is any recourse for those targeted by such attacks, who’ve already expended resources they didn’t have to lose, now that the suits have been dropped. Could they sue for damages, as Hunter’s claims that this was Russian disinformation, or stolen computer equipment, were demonstrably false?

The more you look at Trump and consider all of the lying and posturing he does, the clearer it becomes that the issues he has created with people like Keir Starmer, Zelenskyy, Justin Trudeau, Emanual Macron and Claudia Sheinbaum are based on narcissism-driven JEALOUSLY! Each of these leaders is younger, physically fitter and better-looking than Trump, and each of them enjoys widespread popularity among their constituents. Each got into office without having to lie about immediately bringing down the cost of groceries. Trump loves to try to bully people, including migrants who just came here for a better future, federal employees and other world leaders, and he is flopping–badly when it comes to other world leaders, who are pushing back. Canada and Mexico have called his bluff, so now people living in pro-Trump states will suffer–like those peanut farmers who produced peanut paste for USAID to feed to starving people. Then, there are the US-based liquor producers in places like Tennessee–Canada has removed all US-produced liquor from shelves and bars and restaurants. American farmers who have been selling grain and produce to other countries will see their markets dry up as their customers go to South America and other places to purchase goods. Trump’s ego is destroying America.
Trump is smarter then them all. And you. Trump is deporting known violent criminal illegals that Biden let in. You and Democrats support violent illegal aliens. You support rapists. You would not stand for a brain cancer survivor. You would not stand for the families of their children who were assaulted, raped and killed by Biden’s illegals. You would not stand for protecting women in women’s sports. You are the face of evil.
Own it.
Upstate: if there’s one thing that people who used to work in the first Trump administration are clear about–it’s that Trump is stupid. Excerpted from “Politico” in a piece published in 2018:
“But the president has also been on the receiving end, including from people who work in his administration.
“Fear: Trump in the White House,” by Bob Woodward, is the latest book to detail chaos in the president’s immediate orbit. Excerpts were published Tuesday and immediately brought to mind several disparaging comments that Trump’s staff is reported to have made about the commander in chief:
• Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader,” according to accounts of Woodward’s book that were published by The Washington Post. The comments came after a National Security Council meeting on Jan. 19 in which Trump questioned why the government was using resources to maintain a U.S. military presence on the Korean Peninsula. Mattis told Trump that presence was necessary “in order to prevent World War III.”
• White House chief of staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” and said he thought the president was “unhinged,” The Post also reported.NBC News first reported in May that Kelly had referred to the president as an idiot multiple times, in addition to making several remarks “insulting the president’s intelligence and casting himself as the savior of the country.” Kelly has denied that he ever called Trump an idiot.
• Omarosa Manigault Newman, who was the highest-ranking African-American staffer in the West Wing, claimed in a book published earlier this summer that Trump is a “racist, misogynist and bigot.” In her book, “Unhinged,” Manigault Newman said she witnessed Trump use racial epithets while describing presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband, George Conway, who is half Filipino.
• Earlier this year, Michael Wolff detailed in his book “Fire and Fury” that a number of individuals in the Trump administration insulted the president’s intelligence. Both Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and former chief of staff Reince Priebus called Trump an “idiot,” Wolff wrote. Former economic adviser Gary Cohn said Trump was “dumb as shit,” and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said the president was a “dope,” according to the book.
• Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said in November 2017 that Trump was “like an 11-year-old child,” according toVanity Fair. He also said that Trump had “lost his step.” Bannon had left the White House in August 2017.
• Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in July 2017 called Trump a “moron,”NBC News reported. The comments came after Tillerson had a meeting at the Pentagon with members of the White House national security team and Cabinet officials.
• At a dinner in July 2017, McMaster mocked Trump, also calling him an “idiot,”BuzzFeed News reported. At the dinner, which was with Oracle CEO Safra Catz, McMaster also said Trump was a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner,” according to that report.”
As you can see, there are multiple references from multiple sources. They also report that he has a short attention span, that he doesn’t like to be educated on things he’s ignorant about–which is a lot of things–like US and world history and civics, and that he’s NO leader–he is totally transactional and decisions are very knee-jerk. Criminal illegals were being deported before Trump ever took office–most states do this instead of incurring the cost to incarcerate them. There aren’t any “Biden illegals”.
Most Americans support deportations of illegal immigrants, and an overwhelming majority support the deportation of criminals. Yet the Democrat Party fights those very deportations, so they can prey upon more American citizens and legal residents, our invited guests.
Every country in the world, that I know of, enforces federal immigration law. You’ll be turned away at the border, or arrested and deported if found in the interior. Even North Korea, from which people escape, arrests those who sneak into the country, and interrogates them, before trapping them there and never allowing them to leave.
Oh Gigi. Get professional help please 🤦♀️
Is that supposed to be a meritorious response to what I wrote—which was quoting former members of his administration who said Trump is stupid? If anyone needs help, it’s you MAGAS who fall for the MAGA media propaganda that Trump isn’t stupid, arrogant, needy and is doing a terrible job. Your blindness to the endless lying about everything and attacks against mainstream media and anyone who criticizes Trump are the very definition of group delusion. Trump’s ego is killing this country, alienating our allies, hurting veterans, farmers and others who depend on selling their products to foreign countries. Our economy is already suffering and it’s been less than 2 months.
Jonathan: For someone who spent years claiming that Hunter Biden was raking in millions in a so-called “influence peddling” scheme during the Joe Biden years how is it that Hunter is now destitute after his rental house in Pacific Palisades burned down in the massive fires? Hunter’s apparent present dire financial problems put the lie to your earlier claims!
Anyone who reads your columns on a daily basis, as I do, should know how you are often unable to back up your claims with any evidence. That was particularly true with Hunter Biden. This column of yours and others are an attempt at distraction–attempt to divert attention away form more important news–like the utter collapse of DJT’s agenda, all taking place just 6 weeks into his new administration. That’s something that deserves attention and I will address it in my next comment.
You are really stupid. It is obvious to everyone but you that Hunter was cashing in on his daddy’s name and selling influence. Now that Joe Biden is out of office, Hunters income stream is drying up. You are just that stupid not to see it. How many times have you been wrong about everything? What have you gotten right?
And just remember, you and your party, the Democrat party is the party that would has no common decency. No respect. They would not stand for a cancer survivor. They would not stand for a woman who was injured by a man pretending to be a woman. They would not stand for the families of a woman and a 12 year old girl from assault, and rape from one of Joe Bidens illegal aliens. Your party voted against protecting women in women’s sports. That is how sick you and your party has become. You are the face of evil.
Own it.
“. . . how is it that Hunter is now destitute . . .”
A coke addict, prostitute-loving grifter.
Gosh, I wonder where all those millions went.
Wow. Just wow. The facts that Hunter Biden has been accused of raking in millions in an influence peddling scheme that has been investigated and substantiated by Congress and myriad others and the suggestion that he may now be destitute are not mutually exclusive by any means. Hunter suggested via his own laptop that he raked in those millions to finance the Big Guy & extended family, not simply himself. Moreover, living a Pacific Palisades lifestyle, even in a rented property, while financing numerous civil lawsuits and employing high-powered criminal defense attorneys for multiple cases running for years on end will run up quite a tab. Do the math. Professor Turley is an extraordinarily intelligent and reasoned commentator whom I have found over the years to be extremely reliable in his calling of “balls and strikes” on both sides of the political aisle. He’s not seeking to divert attention from the nascent administration of “47” and I have no doubt that when Professor Turley finds “47” or his administration to be overreaching the mark, we will be among the first to know.
Upstate:
Democrats have waged a war on women for years. As a woman, I am appalled that the entire Democrat Party chose as the hill to die on, forcing women to share locker rooms, public showers, bathrooms, and women’s prisons with intact males, and for women and girls to compete against males in sports in their own sports division. The same party of infamous misandry, simultaneously will not admit that allowing male genitalia into women’s private spaces could possibly be a safety issue.
Women in public locker rooms would choose the bear over a male who walks in, gets undressed, and says he’s female.
Dennis; Hookers and blow are expensive. Lottery winners of millions are bankrupt a few years later. It is entirely possible Hunter raked in millions, and squandered it as fast as it came in.
Dennis:
You asked how Biden could be destitute if he’d made millions off of influence peddling. Joe Biden has left office in cognitive free fall, so Hunter has nothing left to sell. Hunter burned through money with a well documented extravagant lifestyle, and history of drug addiction. The laptop itself outlined astonishing outlays of funds on drugs, prostitutes, and other profligate behavior. The precipitous drop in the value of Hunter’s artwork actually supports the claim that the price of the artwork was inflated, and a means to funnel money to the Bidens by Democrat donors, to move around campaign contribution limits and reporting requirements. What changed? Joe Biden is no longer in any political office.
Former President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Hunter Biden, because there was significant evidence of the influence peddling scheme. Turley’s post referred to the fact that the contents of the laptop, which outlined this scheme, was authentic. Congress investigated this, and those findings are available on its website.
Here’s one for you:
https://oversight.house.gov/the-bidens-influence-peddling-timeline/
Biden was renting the house in Pacific Palisades. The landlord suffered a greater loss, as Hunter doesn’t have to rebuild anything. It is also unlikely that any Biden, let alone Hunter Biden, can’t find a place to live.
The gravy train left the station. Daddy is no longer a player and the Biden name has no clout any longer. He’s blown (literally) millions on drugs and illicit lifestyle. He looks haggard, miserable and lost. His eyes are vacant and distant.
Tragic.
Turley: will you ever stop beating the Hunter Biden dead horse? I read the title to this toilet piece and no further because that’s a few wasted minutes of my life I wouldn’t get back. Just another item on the checklist of diversionary tactics to throw red meat to the disciples so they won’t notice that their hero backed down on tariffs now for the second time, but the stock market is still reeling because of the uncertainty created by Trump. Nevertheless, Canada and Mexico have responded with their own tariffs. US-produced liquor is being pulled off the shelves in Canada and will be put into storage. US liquor producers are upset. Also, so they won’t think about the firehose of lies Trump tells–like people up to 300 years old receiving Social Security benefits–a lie cheered on by the bobble-head pricks who sat behind the pig at Tuesday’s Trump Show. What US President has ever lied as much about so many things? What US President plays games with our economy and goes out of his way to insult our allies and start trade wars that will drive up inflation, and who absolutely WILL NOT listen to economists? Now one of Trump’s flunkies is proposing eliminating data about government spending when analyzing the economy–all to cover up Trump’s utter incompetence. And, why hasn’t he deported the people he claimed he would? Biden deported more people in 6 weeks than Trump ever did. DOGE put up a website listing governmental properties for sale, then shortly thereafter took down some entries, and a little while later, took down the entire site, which included a CIA building. All Turley sees fit to write about is Hunter Biden.
WTF? Another unhinged lunatic. You can read the MSNBC feed……
I might have read your screed, but those would have been minutes of my life I won’t ever have got back. If reading is such a waste of your time, so is your commenting.
Gigi, the issue regarding the 200 year old Social Security cardholders is that a system that has that probably has a lot of other problems.
“However, there were reports of a collapse in the value of Hunter’s art with the departure of his father from office.” Did anyone see this coming?
I don’t believe it for a second. The Bidens in toto are easily the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to America on the public stage, and Hunter can take his boosheet to a country that actually cares. Enough. We are done. Good luck with your poop paintings, Hunter. Pathetic. Even worse, somehow he makes the remaining DNC somehow look less pathetic in 2025, and that is no mean feat.
It is a miracle we survived the Obama era at all. Not one of these thugs will ever suffer consequences while we the people did, but WE the poeple can at least say, ‘Never again.’.
James
James Comer reported evidence of at least $35M into the laddered shell LLCs. $35M that the Biden family never paid federal taxes on. I want the DOJ to follow the corruption being exposed and indict everyone involved. That includes negating Biden’s phony baloney pardons and burying these corruptocrats taking away every dime they have stolen.
Wow – I thought Mr. Turley was interested in issues involving the First Amendment. And there are big big things happening on this very topic in the news today, under the current administration. For example, the US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating Georgetown Law School, demanding that “if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in anyway [sic],” the law school should “move swiftly to remove it” which seems like a massive overreach of Federal authority into how and what a private university is teaching. This seems to be topic that would fascinate and likely infuriate such a staunch defender of free speech like Mr. Turley! And yet – he decides to write about what? Hunter Biden. Again. Because, yeah – that is really a pressing issue. You can tell what Mr. Turley thinks of his readers by what he chooses to write about.
@Anonymous
And we all think you are a moron, but that such is life in a free country where everyone is free to speak their mind, and Ill take it.
James,
Well said. What these anonymorons do not understand is the good professor has been and is pointing out how corrupt the BCF is and how far the Dermocrat party has fallen from what it once was. The Democrats display of lack of common decency and respect Tuesday night and the previous day of voting down to protect women in women’s sports just shows how far they have fallen and become the party of evil.
@Upstate
Indeed, and no one of this mindset does. I actually had an acquaintance say to me this morning that manufacturing things in America will make them more expensive. They actually said this to me with a straight face and they believe it. The ignorance is STUPENDOUSLY shocking, as this was not a young person, and this is the level of brainwashing and ignorance we are dealing with. And once again, my own brother is one of them, and he will never change his mind, such has been his insulation. 🤷🏻♂️
And sorry for the typos in my original comment, would love to be able to edit, but c’est la vie. I am taking care of a chronically ill souse on top of everything else, so hastily typed comments will have to do.
PS:
Sigh. ‘Spouse’. Obviously I am working right now. Wish 70% of Washington could say the same.
Oh, and as an aside the auction paddle thing absolutely *smacks* of Pelosi and her earlier stunts, wasting our money like she is just entitled to it for cheap points with weak minded people, in order to hold onto power. She may not be in a prominent position anymore, but she is sure still pulling big time strings, and she is a pox on the American people. The modern DNC cannot die or fracture soon enough.
JFK is very, very long dead, and he was likely killed by the ideological equivalent of the likes of Pelosi or Schumer; find a path or just let it die, dems. Disgusting. The modern dems *are* disgusting, barely anymore human. And again, I am a life long independent that used to vote for some democrats.
The weirdest thing (to me) on Pelosi World is that her 53 yo daughter Jacqueline donated a kidney to her 84 yo husband, two weeks ago. And yet Nancy is already looking forward to her NEXT two years in Congress.
Retire already. Give somebody under 70 a chance. Start a youth movement. And spend time with your husband while he’s still above ground.
James,
Do not fret about the typos. While not educated from a lofty academia higher learning college, I am smart enough, have enough common sense to read into a typo and still know what your are saying. I am just a crayon eating Marine and lowly farmer. I am sorry to hear about your spouse. I wish her and you well.
Hi Mr. Farmer – thank you for your reply. You know what the good news is? You guys are in charge now. You are running the whole shooting match. You have Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court – the whole ball of wax. What I’m interested in is whether Mr. Turley will turn that incredible mind of his to holding the party in power to account. That is what makes America great, I think you’d agree. Is that we get to decide who holds the positions of power. So shouldn’t we ask (even if just occasionally) if they are doing the right thing? Shouldn’t that be encouraged? Does that make me a moron? If so, why?
Thanks for your reply, James. Would you care to weigh in on the topic of whether a US Attorney should get to dictate what is taught in a law school of a private university? That seems like a pretty big deal to me – you know – because of the Constitution and all of that. Curious what you think.
“. . . whether a US Attorney should get to dictate what is taught . . .”
That’s a great topic — if it were the truth.
But it’s a lie.
P.S. Save your phony collegiality. A debate with you is worse than a waste of time.
“[T]he US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating . . .”
BS. You butchered the story.
Imagine that.
Do you believe the Civil Rights Act is massive over reach?
DEI is a racist ideology, that has been found to discriminate based on race, gender, and sexual orientation, in practice. Universities that discriminate against students violate federal law.
Can Hunter’s new wife get a job? Someone needs to support him in the manner to which he is accustomed.
We can’t expect Hunter to get a real job.
How’s the CAA thing working out for Joe?
Can’t he just get another $10 million from China? Just tell them he is sitting with his father and if the money doesn’t show up by tomorrow, there will be hell to pay. It worked before…
Nothing to worry about. Hunter’s illegitimate child will certainly be taken care of by his daddy once he learns her name.
Where are all the Hunter defenders on this blog today? Do I hear nary a whisper?
Hunter theme song played in a loop at his art sales event.
I’ve got a tiger by the tail it’s plain to see
There won’t be much left when they’re threw with me
I’m losin weight and I’m lookin mighty pale
It’s plain to see I got a tiger by the tail.
Thank you Buck Owens.
I could not feel more joy at his impending doom. He is a criminal and should be treated as such.
I wonder if his character will be his fate, and ultimately deliver some form of justice, as it did for OJ Simpson. Will Hunter Biden keep breaking the law, and end up in prison anyway?
” [Hunter Biden] is the victim of circumstances . . .”
Actually, he’s the “victim” of seven circumstances. All of them swing states.
This is probably a cover for future child support lawsuits he may incur. All he has to do is hit up his daddy for a few buck that fell off the plane, on it’s way over to Ukraine! When I can afford hookers and “crack”, then I may feel some empathy!
