Garland elevates Trump-appointed US attorney Weiss to a special counsel to continue investigating Hunter Biden.

Man, it's almost like the propaganda around Garland being a political hack was wrongheaded. Who could have known?

Could you reference a single post on PaRD where anybody argued that Hunter is completely innocent of any crime?

I think most reasonable people are in the Steve Doocy camp of "what's the evidence of a crime?".

I hope Hawaii gets the help that it needs.

https://thegeopolitics.com/myths-over-ukraine-military-aid-how-the-lend-lease-works/

"Overall aid to Ukraine accounted for less than 5% of the U.S defense budget, which operates differently from the infrastructure and healthcare budgets. During the same period of the passage of the lease, a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill was passed along with a $300 billion Climate Change Bill and a major push by the White House to cancel student debt up to $20,000. As the U.S., UK, and Poland have led the forefront of military aid to Ukraine, all three nations will have contract preference for reconstructing the country after the war is over.

It could be argued that there would be no need for American military aid had it not been for US policies post-USSR collapse that disarmed Ukraine. In the Budapest Memorandum, Kyiv was forced to give up the world’s third largest nuclear stockpile by the US, Russia and UK in return for territorial integrity and sovereignty. It was recently revealed that Russia is using the same long range missiles Ukraine gave up to bomb the country, showing a failure of American foreign policy when it comes to appeasement of good faith negotiations with Russia.

The Lend-Lease has not gone to waste, as Russia has suffered over 100,000 military casualties, continues to be pushed back from occupied territories, and the Kremlin faces economic hardship with sanctions finally starting to feel its effects, forcing the country to allocate into a wartime economy that cannot sustain.

The support for Ukraine has also functioned as a deterrence not just in Eastern Europe but also in Southeast Asia. As Japan and Taiwan are the most important strategic allies in the Pacific with mutual defense pacts with Washington, our top geopolitical rival China has reassessed a potential invasion of Taiwan, seeing the rapid response America gave to Ukraine.

Not only will the military aid to Ukraine be eventually paid off but combating our historically second biggest rival without a single U.S troop being killed is an investment into enhanced security"

As of a few weeks ago, David Weiss, having investigated Hunter Biden's various misdeeds for 5 years, was prepared to accept a plea deal that would result in minor charges and no jail time. After the judge questioned the apparent blanket immunity included in the deal, it quickly fell apart.

Now the same David Weiss has done a 180, now asserting that the Hunter Biden web is so nebulous and nefarious that he requires special counsel powers in order to unravel it all.

Given that this is all taking place with the backdrop of career IRS and FBI whistleblowers alleging significant malfeasance, is there anyone who seriously believes this is anything other than a delaying tactic to protect the DOJ and Mr. Weiss from having to respond to a congressional investigation?

From Russia's perspective the US broke good faith first after installing missiles in Europe following 9/11.
Also, China was never particularly interested in invading Taiwan. They want Taiwan in one piece. Ironically they are actually more likely to invade now because of American interference as well as America's very public unwillingness to actually confront a major power directly as in the case of Russia invading Ukraine. China knows now that the US will do nothing except throw money and weapons around if they choose to invade. America has no spine for a real fight.
