    Speaking of “White House ethics”, there were none under the previous, autocratic administration.

    Now Lisa is concerned about ethics in the White House? I guess that is because there were no ethics to worry about in the previous administration.

    I’m sure someone who pays $500,000 for some pos “art” created by the cokehead son Hunter won’t be expecting anything in return. Kind of like the donations to the Clinton Foundation stopped coming in when Hillary lost. They must have been expecting something too. Hmmm….

    The GOP’s big bulk book-buying machine is boosting Republicans on the bestseller lists

    The National Republican Congressional Committee, which works to elect GOP candidates to Congress, spent nearly $400,000 on bulk purchases of the book. The organization acquired 25,500 copies through two online booksellers, enough to fuel “Fortitude’s” ascent up the bestseller lists. The NRCC said it gave away copies as incentives to donors, raising $1.5 million in the process.

    The NRCC wasn’t the only outfit providing a big-bucks boost to conservative authors. Four party-affiliated organizations, including the Republican National Committee, collectively spent more than $1 million during the past election cycle mass-purchasing books written by GOP candidates, elected officials and personalities, according to Federal Election Commission expenditure reports. The purchases helped turn several volumes into bestsellers.

    While there’s no prohibition on such second-party purchases, a new complaint alleges that another Texas Republican, Sen. Ted Cruz, crossed the line into illegal activity when he used campaign money to boost sales of his newest book.

    A government watchdog organization, the Campaign Legal Center, filed complaints last week with the Federal Election Commission and the Senate Ethics Committee about the manner in which Cruz’s campaign aides went about bulk buying and promoting the senator’s latest volume, “One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Vote Can Change History,” published last fall.

    The group said Cruz’s campaign committee effectively converted campaign contributions to Cruz’s personal enrichment, an illegal practice. It alleged Cruz’s staff did so by spending $154,000 of his supporters’ funds on copies of his book, and an additional $18,000 to promote it via Facebook ads reading “Buy my new book!” and “Order it here” over photos of Cruz.

    Considering all of the ethics violations committed by THE ORANGE IDIOT and his spawn without a whimper from The Repulsican Crime Family, it seems a bit of a farce for them to be attacking the Bidens for the possible use of Joe’s name to sell Hunter’s paintings. Short of changing his name and wiping all living people’s brains, what can Hunter do to remove traces of his relationship to Joe? Talk about a ridiculous reach of what-aboutism. Another reach beyond reality by the MAGAts. Maybe we should call in a veterinarian for a deworming of RWI?

    Anyone stupid enough to buy Hunter Biden’s paintings should receive the ridicule they richly deserve, but it shouldn’t reflect badly on Joe Biden. It’s not any of his doing.

    You know, I’ve noticed something. The closer to home a ‘toon hits with the truth, threatening the lefties world view and forcing the into cognitive dissonance, the more they go on nonsensical, rambling, over opinionated rants, devoid of facts. Radish’s comments here are a perfect example of this. The links they refer to are left wing propaganda outlets and for the most part are opinionated editorials. Go check them out for yourselves, but you’ll find they are just hit pieces.
