OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Two GOP senators who have been investigating alleged Biden family corruption for years have stepped up their efforts. After Facebook and Twitter suppressed, to an extent, explosive revelations about Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020, Republican Sens. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin want more answers.

Grassley and Johnson have sent a letter to Zuckerberg noting that in October 2020, “when the New York Post published articles based on evidence from Hunter Biden’s laptop, many news and social media organizations inappropriately rushed to censor and discredit the initial reporting and falsely labeled it as ‘disinformation.’”

Mainstream media outlets have finally admitted that the information gleaned from the laptop was not Russian disinformation but was in fact real.

“You recently appeared to indicate that the reason why Facebook made the unwise decision to censor articles about Hunter Biden’s laptop was based on an alert from the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the senators wrote. Whistleblowers have also alleged to Senator Johnson that local FBI leadership instructed its employees not to look at the Hunter Biden laptop immediately after the FBI had obtained it,” the senators noted further, going on to say that Americans “deserve to know whether the FBI used Facebook as part of their alleged plan to discredit information about Hunter Biden.”

“Congress and the American people require clarity with respect to the extent the FBI communicated with Facebook during the 2020 election about Hunter Biden-related information,” they added.

Expected incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan believes there’s been a seismic shift regarding the ongoing federal investigation of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.

The Ohio Republican suggested “something is up” with the probe because of a new interest in the story by many of the same media outlets that initially dismissed reports of corruption evidence stemming from materials and emails obtained from a laptop he reportedly abandoned at a computer repair store in Delaware in 2019.

“It sure looks like Joe Biden was involved,” Jordan added. “So, my, how this story has changed. And now, we find out these text messages and emails that link the entire family, not just Hunter and Joe and — but also uncle, the — Joe’s brother, James Biden, is involved in this as well.”

It’s not just Jordan, either.

Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer, who will become the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee in January, told the Washington Post that Republicans plan to launch investigations very soon.

So, the party of fiscal responsibility is going to add millions to the national debt with their investigations in order to pursue their petty revenge. With this, and their own criminal collusion with Trump, history won't remember them well.

That must really annoy you.

Yes, it annoys me. These are people abusing their offices in government in order to put on a show for the MAGA base. Some of them are legitimate, insane believers, but others are gutlessly ambitious career politicians like McCarthy, who know there is no truth about stolen elections or machinations by the "Biden crime family," but who play right wing populist out of fear of said MAGA base.

At least the Dems aren't either delusional, or fearfully playing up to a delusional cult of personality. That's the Republicans who are doing that, and that's what makes them a genuine threat to democracy in a way that regular, good old fashioned corruption could never do.

I find it hard to believe there aren't some delusional dems also.

Can you point out a single one that's a conspiracy theorist nutter? I highly doubt it. I can't think of any.

It's interesting to tap into the mental state of Trump supporters by watching/listening to younger right wing conservative podcasters. As with Pepe they are hyperfocused on the belief the democrat voters are "brainwashed" by a woke agenda. They believe that there are big businesses who are part of an elite pushing wokeness which is more dangerous than the long list you presented in your post.

The spectre of minority rights leading to social and economic collapse seems to be at the centre of this campaign by the GOP. Some of this stuff predates Trump and was already central to the Tea Party movement which sprung up during the Obama presidency.

Hi. I am a Trump supporter and my mental state is pretty good. I love him and think he has a heart for the people, and truly wants America and other countries to be their best. Womanizer? Maybe in some arenas of life but many men are, either directly or indirectly. No one is perfect!
