I can't believe I actually read the full transcript, but the interactions between Hunter and Matt Gaetz are hilarious
21 Mr. Lowell. Will the record show that we're all laughing?
22 The Witness. I mean, are you kidding me? No. I don't -- again --
23 Mr. Gaetz. So do you --
24 The Witness. I'm sorry, Mr. Gaetz, I'll take you seriously. And it's hard to do --
Page 120 good starting place
Hey - quick question for those who make articles available as gifts.
Are you paid subscribers, or just email-registered? Are you limited in the number of articles that you can gift per week/month-whatever?
You don't even need a gift. Drop the url in archive.is and you'll get past the paywall.
Archive.is doesn't work in Firefox. It never lets me past the captcha
As mentioned, check the DNS settings. Could even be in Firefox. I use Archive often from within Firefox, I don't have any issues.
You need to add the following to the DNS over https exception list:
I’m a paying subscriber. Also I sometimes run across a gift link already shared by someone else. I’ll cut and paste that link to continue spreading a good article.
Your doing the Lords work
Anytime you hit the paywall - take a look at their offers. 95% of the time they are garbage offers. But sometimes they are desperate to get subscribers and you can get a year for $2/month. Cancel the renewal and repeat. 😎
I subscribe to some, but mostly scraping them off social media.
I sharply prefer posting gift links to archive sites because they make it clear what the source is before people click, and some of the archive sites block people because they don't like their DNS
I'm late, but find a couple archive sites and keep them bookmarked in your bookmark toolbar. When you find something that is behind a paywall, copy the link, open an archive site, and paste it in. It'll remove all of the javascript and such that content blocks.
Gaetz later tried to suggest that since Hunter Biden sometimes covered his father’s tab, that his and his father’s finances “were pretty interwoven.” (“Will the record show that we’re all laughing?” Biden attorney Abbe Lowell interjected.)
So my takeaway from this is that Gaetz and his cabana boy, ...er, sorry, his son, always split the tab whenever they go out for dinner so that their finances aren't interwoven.
Think of the horrible person that Gaetz is and them imagine what his parents and siblings are like. There is no way that these people are close or treat each other well. Gaetz can't understand that families can be close, supportive, and get along.
Decades of experience have shown me that conservatives don't show faith amongst family while liberals tend to invest in them. Conservatives can't fathom that some families are healthy and supportive.
Conservatives can’t fathom that some families are healthy and supportive
Only if they are white and conservative. If those two things are true they will never admit, regardless of proof otherwise, that such a family isn't perfect. If either of those points are false, to them there is no possibility that they could be healthy and supportive.
Very good, the more I learn about Hunter the more I like
The fucker's hung, too.
Apparently.
A dong majestic enough for Congress
Damn. He kicked ass. I wish I could be that cool and smooth in situations like this.

Speaking of which, I miss this Joe Biden.
Damn he already looked old af 15 years ago. Can we get a new Democrat?
Now that was a very pleasant read.
