The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 20: Goal of Gaol: (Duncan) Hunter Biden's Laptop and Let's Go Brandon Straka

"The American people are fed up with this over-dramatization of a riot that happened here at the Capitol one time. "They are sick and tired of Jan. 6 — it’s over, OK?" - Major Traitor Greene, who video evidence seems to suggest is the hoodie wearing figure who dropped pipe bombs off at strategic locations in the late evening of January 5th before Greene and conservatives tried to overthrow the government.

White criminals are good people
caught up in events.
"And as you probably have heard one of the first January 6th trials ended in an extortion... and then there was a horrible thing that they were doing to people," Diaper Don the Traitor Trump intoned at his latest "Rally" where he once again blamed Speaker Pelosi and the Mayor of D.C. for the conservative insurrection on 01/06/21.  Trump was referring to Matthew Martin, who was acquitted on charges last week, because as a fat middle aged white man, Judges (especially Trump-appointed ones) find every possible reason to excuse unlawful behavior. 

The focus and intensity of the Hunter Biden Laptop is indicative of the last 30 years of media coverage; a Democratic Presidency must be ruthlessly attacked by the Corporate Media, who uncritically repeat all rightwing agitprop, to show an air of impartiality, culminating in the Media giving outsized attention to each and every ginned-up (or Ginni Thomas' up-ed) rightwing conspiracy, while studiously ignoring say an actual criminal conspiracy of Ginni Thomas.

Much thought has been directed at why the white working class abandoned the Democratic Party and besides the undeniable racist angle of the backlash to Civil Rights the truth is since the 1970's a significant slice of the American working class has seen a diminishment in their lived experienced and lifestyles.  This is a topic for a far longer post but, in response to this starting with Nixon, the Republican Party began blaming everything on the Democratic Party; from crime to deindustrialization. 

Thus, Enter Hunter Biden's laptop...  Not Duncan Hunter* because being a convicted Republican criminal doesn't make Duncan, the Hunter Republicans and the media are looking for...  Hunter Biden's Laptop represents the Holy Grail or True Cross for the rightwing media to quest after.  It is a holy relic and a repository of Absolute Truth.  Don't worry about Chain of Custody because if you don't believe this current Laptop contains all the evidence needed to prove every whack-a-doodle rightwing conspiracy true, up to and including the January 6th Riot and the 2020 Elections, why they've got at least two more to sell!

In reality, as Twitter noted, 

Never forget Trump's first impeachment was due to his extortion** attempt on Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, (the same Zelenskyy Madison Crawthorn calls a thug) as Trump tried to coerce into claiming their was a foreign investigation into Hunter Biden.

Which leads us to actual criminals who actually committed actual crimes, we have Let's Go Brandon Straka, who's fame comes from starting a social media movement call Walk Away from the Democratic Party, which was right-wingers and lifelong Republicans claiming on Facebook and Twitter they were Democrats who were upset by something or other and now were ardent Republicans. (Here's a typical . His infamy comes from being one of the criminal conservative terrorists to storm the Capitol on January 6th.

But, he wasn't just some low-level caught-up-in-the-moment drone instead Straka was live tweeting the Insurrection and urging conservatives on.  It is without doubt that had the Insurrectionists held the Capitol all throughout the night Straka and others would have succeeded in destroying the electoral process and probably in murdering Democratic Representatives.

But, Straka like all right-wingers has lived so long with the unequal enforcement of laws, the not see style of policing of conservatives, and the lax judgments brought against those charged with crimes that he never thought he would be in trouble for those crimes he committed. Straka was arrested, held in custody, tried and accepted a guilty plea. Straka, most likely informed on other defendants in order to receive a lighter sentence. To prove he didn't Straka has taken to the rightwing media to prove his unwavering commitment to the cause of Overthrowing the US Government and installing an Authoritarian Trumpist Dictatorship.

But, Straka has also taken time to bemoan and wail at the inhumanity of prison,

“During those two days, I sat in that cell literally just breaking down emotionally because I thought myself, this is now Jan. 25, 2021, so Joe Biden became president five days before I got arrested, the Democrats have now taken full control of the federal government, I’m Brandon Straka the Walk Away from the Democrats founder, and now I’m sitting in a concrete cell,” he continued, becoming increasingly emotional. “There are hundreds of people who are facing nonviolent low-level misdemeanor charges who are being treated like terrorists, like insurrectionists in this country. I actually fall into this category—the government has actually put me on a terrorism watch list.” 

Boo-hoo-hoo! All Let's Go Brandon Straka did was commit multiple crimes whilst in the middle of successfully stopping the certification of Joe Biden's crushing 2020 election victory. Because let's get this straight; the conservatives who invaded the Capitol, sought out Democratic Representatives and Mike Pence to murder, and literally shit on the floors and walls did stop the Government from certifying the Election results for several hours.  During that time Donald Traitor Trump aided by Ginni Thomas, Mark Meadows and numerous other Republicans spent 7 hours and 37 minutes stopping National Guard and other Law Enforcement units from responding to the Capitol as they attempted to coordinate further disruption and attempted to get the Trumputsch (the Coup d'Etat) back on track.  

*- Despicable Traitor Trump pardoned Ex-Marine and convicted criminal Duncan Hunter. I dgaf about this bullshit pardon Duncan Hunter is an Ex-Marine forever. He needs to surrender his Quatrefoil and EGA. As way of comparison Hunter was convicted of the exact same offense as Jesse Jackson Jr. Jackson received a 30 month sentence, prosecutors asked for 48 months. Duncan Hunter received an 11 month sentence and served 2 fucking days.

** - This doesn't even get into the recovered seditious communications of Traitor Tot Jr, the $2,000,000,000 Saudi Arabia just handed Jared Kushner, or the millions in Chinese kickbacks raked in by Ivanka Trump during her residency in the White House.  Donald John Trump taught Republicans that the way to get away with crimes is to keep committing them non-stop because eventually the media will get tired of covering the continued crime spree.
