Also looks like the Hunter plea deal is dead, AG Garland just appointed David Weiss (who had been prosecuting that case) as special counsel for investigating Hunter Biden. The case may go to trial now.

However, the gun law he's charged with was just declared unconstitutional by an appellate court (basically it made it illegal for anyone with a past addiction issue to be an owner).

And did you hear the massive outrage from the White House and democrats about it being a witch hunt and politically charged and the end of America? Oh wait……

They're actually freaking out that having a special counsel is Biden protecting his kid somehow. Despite Weiss being a Trump appointed prosecutor and only being held over because getting rid of him would have actually looked like favouritism.

Earlier in the year the GOP was asking why the DoJ hadn't appointed a special counsel. Now they're complaining that they have.

That's the fun part of abandoning reason, everything that happens is part of your conspiracy!

I mean you almost couldn’t have written some of these scripts in a show 10 years ago without being told they were ridiculous and unbelievable, unless you were trying to write a comedy.

And seriously, if this thing gets connected to Biden himself I hope he falls fast and completely . There should be no politics in these instances but that’s too much to hope for these days.

I'm not on their side in any way, but let's be honest, gender studies is a bit of a bull#### degree.

You need to go to an actual school to get a Gender Studies degree, for one.

Well fortunately you could still go to the New College of Florida and get your degree in…you guessed it….Religious Studies. Phew.

I'm curious to know what one does in the real world with a degree in Gender Studies.

If real world application is the delineation point for majors, say goodbye to medieval studies, religious studies, and film studies.
