George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

Let me get this straight. The GOP demanded last year that David Weiss be appointed as a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden.

After he decided that a plea deal was appropriate for tax and gun registration violations, the GOP went nuts. And now they’re mad that, per his request, he is being given Special Counsel status?

This sounds like they didn’t like the result, so they want a different referee.

@georgetakei they only want to continue to use the story for mass agitprop distribution across all the far right tv, radio, website and social streams. To get people worked up. To get hysterical about it. To eventually use it to GOTV. That’s it, that’s the story. #hunterbiden

This is obvious with Repubs. Their goal is to keep the shouting about horrible Dems never ending. If Hunter Bidden would be sentenced to death in a week they would demand that he be tortured until he provided evidence to convict Joe Biden of some horrible crime. I wonder what the demand would be if that was done.

They are blood libel megaphones of anyone that dares to counter. In the name of God and country.

@georgetakei i really wonder what they‘re trying to win by this even if they find out that Hunter Biden is guilty it most certainly has nothing to do with the president and his election.

and all they found out is that he has a long [censored]

@georgetakei Of course the GOP is 'negotiating' in bad faith. They would only be satisfied (temporarily at best) if everyone named Biden were put in front of a firing squad.

Republicans: WE DEMAND A SPECIAL COUNCIL WITH OUR GUY TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS HUNTER BIDEN AFFAIR!!! WE HAVE SECRET EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE KEPT SECRET!!!!

DOJ: Fine. We’ve appointed your guy as Special Council to review and investigate all the evidence against Hunter Biden and make a determination based on facts and evidence.

Repubs: NOT LIKE THAT!!!!

@georgetakei Like Lenin’s Bolsheviks, #Trump and the #gop will oppose everything the government does until they control it.

Like the Bolsheviks, Trump and the GOP will imprison or kill anyone who raises the slightest objection to the government they control.

@georgetakei They just want to make noise and chaos - none of that with a special prosecutor, who may, in fact, implicate those that are whining the loudest.

@georgetakei one of my big issues with religion is that it promotes that you start with the answer and find evidence to support it, while ignoring anything that goes against your belief.

This approach works great for twisting reality in favor of Trump, against climate change. You name it. Start with the answer. Find evidence. Anything that’s working against you is the literal devil.

@georgetakei If you'll recall, they pulled the same crap with Bill Clinton. Keep changing special prosecutors till you get one who will give you the result you want. As a side note: Monica Lewinsky had absolutely NOTHING to do with Whitewater!!!

The only acceptable prosecutor is one who will make up evidence and come to the predetermined decision that Hunter should be executed along with his dad. Justice is not what they're after.

@georgetakei Sounds normal for the GOP to me.

Whilst the GOP members bodies have aged somewhat normally, mentally, they stopped developing at some point in childhood. This is often seen when they get what they asked for, but it isn't what they wanted!
