I swear on both of my parents' lives, I've never heard of Gal Luft before today. Now today, he's everwhere.

This is why Seinfeld is the GOAT. Everything that happens in life, it's been discussed in a Seinfeld episode. Chappelle's Show might have surpassed it, if Comedy Central left Dave alone. If Chappelle's Show also went 9 seasons, I could just GIF Seinfeld and Chappelle forever, without any use of any GIF outside of those 2 shows.

I would fill you in, but I wasn't over-exaggerating when I said I've never heard of him before today. And I can't make an actual informed opinion yet (Google his name, the same media on both sides are covering it with a 0% surprise ratio).

Not sure if I did something wrong, but to get this to post with the actual video, I had to include letterrs/numbers in front of the equal sign. As far as I've been aware, you only needed the info after the equal sign.

For Justified, totally worth figuring it out.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

Was watching a clip of Timothy Olyphant from his early Justified days on Conan's show, and from the second the clip ended, it was a Biden campaign ad, with Obama talking about donating money to Biden.

These motherfuckers are relentless (99.99% of politicians,Trump wants all my money too).

It's just crazy how much politicians want us to donate 100% of our discretionary income to them, to decide how we get screwed, and they divide our money, and all get rich.

The G.O.P. Backed Him on Hunter Biden Claims. Now He Has Been Indicted.
Gal Luft, promoted by House Republicans as possessing evidence of corruption by the Biden family, was charged by federal prosecutors with lobbying and sanctions violations and with brokering arms deals with China and Iran.

The co-director of a Maryland-based research group who claims to have damaging information about Hunter Biden has been charged with arms trafficking, sanctions violations and acting as an unregistered agent for China, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.

In an eight-count indictment, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York accused Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, of violating the Arms Export Control Act and the Foreign Agents Registration Act in brokering arms deals between Chinese companies, Iran and countries in the Middle East.

Mr. Luft, promoted by some congressional Republicans as a keystone witness in their efforts to show corruption by the Biden family, is a fugitive from justice. He was detained by law enforcement officials in Cyprus in February in connection with the indictment, but fled after being freed on bond while awaiting extradition. If convicted, he faces up to 100 years in prison

Don't shoot the messenger. If we can post a clearly biased NYT link, we can post a clearly biased NYP link.

See that's the point, the Times wasn't bias that is the Republican way of deflection calling anything negative (but true) bias.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

To be honest, I just assume all NYT articles are biased. I can't even open the article lol. It's a pay-to-play article.

But based on this, I'm pretty confident I'm 100% correct here:

[I]The G.O.P. Backed Him on Hunter Biden Claims. Now He Has Been Indicted.

Gal Luft, promoted by House Republicans as possessing evidence of corruption by the Biden family, was charged by federal prosecutors with lobbying and sanctions violations and with brokering arms deals with China and Iran.[/I]

Pretty clear IMO how the author is trying to direct the readers.

The NYP is an opinion piece, so clearly biased.
