@chrislhayes: The ritual humiliation of Hunter Biden—a mainstay of the right-wing media—is an attempt to wage a sort of psychological warfare upon the president. Joe Biden has no control over the actions of his adult son—his sole surviving son—who he obviously loves deeply.
pic.twitter.com/7V9xpOohIGIn case you need a refresher, Hunter Biden has been under investigation for a variety of alleged crimes since 2018, an investigation ordered under the Trump administration and continued under the Biden administration. It’s convoluted but the gist is that in the mid-2010s, Hunter Biden relapsed in his drug and alcohol addiction while also working for foreign companies in positions that clearly traded on his closeness to American centers of power.
His behavior during that period then became public because of leaked videos and other information documenting his struggle.His father has never been implicated in any wrongdoing but Hunter Biden’s problems became a fixation for conservatives attempting to draw equivalence between Biden and Donald Trump, and the whole thing has been the subject of speculation and baseless conspiracy theories involving Ukraine, alongside the real questions regarding wrongdoing or unethical behavior.

told MSNBC anchor Jen Psaki on Sunday’s “Inside With Jen Psaki.” “We have to do everything to make sure that a person so frivolous with our democracy, so jeopardizing of our national security, so disrespectful of our rule of law, would [never] be president of the United States once again.”Despite the growing pile of evidence against Trump, the Speaker Emerita also noted her hesitancy to say there’s no way he could win again since she “never thought he could win the first time.” As the pair discussed Trump’s recent indictment — to which he pleaded not guilty to 37 federal counts regarding the illegal retention of classified documents as well as obstructing justice and making false statements — Psaki pointed out that some of the documents found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence were the highest level classifications possible.“Knowing what you know about former President Donald Trump, we know he has an affection for dictators,” Psaki said. “Do you have concern, without us knowing at this point, of what he may have wanted to do with those documents?”While Pelosi didn’t give a definitive answer to Psaki’s inquiry, the California representative underlined the extent to which Trump “seriously jeopardized our national security,” which went against protecting important security documents that he expressed as a priority during his candidacy.
“Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America,” a hilarious take on the current events of modern America that debuted on Fox Nation earlier this week.The actor and comedian proved he hasn’t lost his luster, keeping the audience in stitches by wisecracking on everything from today’s culture wars, COVID-19 mask mandates and his own vasectomy to making a movie with Donald Trump. Schneider told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that the secret to modern comedy comes from appealing to the demand for someone who isn’t afraid to push back against censorship or “go against the grain.”Here are some can’t-miss moments from the actor-comedian’s latest endeavor, exclusively available on Fox Nation:Schneider said he voted for Trump – a few times – in 2016.“It was in California, and I was writing on my kitchen counter – I had the ballot because, you know, in California, they mail you like 100 of them,” he joked. “I was just filling them out.

I was looking at a number of candidates, I like Jeb the best but, you know, I was assessing the field as wide open as an operative, trying to decide who to work for. [And] that is very much not the case this time.”“So I think we have two things happening in this election,” Miller continued.
