Bring “proof” not “d*ck pics” was the blunt message from California, gay Rep. Robert Garcia to Republicans yesterday. Garcia sits alongside GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green on the House Oversight Committee.
Yesterday, the committee held a hearing into Hunter Biden. Members quizzed two IRS whistleblowers involved in investigations into the President’s son.
Hunter has already pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and a minor gun-related charge, following a five-year investigation. Greene and other Republicans on the committee believe Hunter Biden is potentially linked to further criminal activity and corruption.
During her part of the hearing, Greene took every opportunity to throw as much dirt in Hunter’s direction as possible. This climaxed in her pulling out photos of Hunter engaged in sexual activity with alleged prostitutes. It’s safe to say a House committee hearing has never seen quite such a stunt before.
Greene appeared to revel in the attention it brought her. She reshared a Daily Mail story to her government Twitter account in which she appears to be smirking.
Many expressed shock at Greene’s actions. Among them was Garcia. The freshman congressman has previously trolled Greene on social media for her extremist beliefs and antics. Her grilling of the IRS agents left him unimpressed.
“Today’s investigation is like most of the majority’s investigations in hearings. A lot of allegations; zero proof; No receipts; But apparently, some d*ck pics,” Garcia said during his part of the hearing. “Now at a certain point, the American people need to see some actual evidence. And we’ve seen none.”
What was yesterday’s Hunter Biden hearing all about?
Committee members quizzed IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler and his supervisor Gary Shapley. Ziegler was previously identified only as Agent X. However, the Oversight Committee insisted on the release of his name.
In his testimony to the committee, Ziegler identified himself as a “gay Democrat married to a man.” He said his coming forward was not politically motivated.
The IRS agents say they investigated Hunter Biden and expressed frustration with how prosecutors handled the case following their reports. Greene and other Republicans believe this is because Hunter is Joe Biden’s son.
Democrats on the committee took the view that prosecutors often don’t bring charges due to a lack of credible evidence. There can often be tension between investigators (police, IRS, or whoever) and prosecutors over what constitutes strong evidence.
The subtleties of the debate were overshadowed by Marjorie Taylor Greene whipping out her censored, x-rated photos. She took the trouble to warn viewers and those present that “parental discretion” was advised for what she was about to do.
Greene alleges Hunter Biden improperly used his company to write off payments to prostitutes. Ziegler would not confirm this precise point.
When Greene pulled out the photos, enlarged on a poster board, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) was among those to question her actions. “Should we be displaying this, Mr. Chairman?” Raskin (D-Md.) asked Chair James Comer (R-Ky.)
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Greene’s actions represented a “new low.”
Others echoed that sentiment.

If only she were this concerned about her buddy Gaetz sleeping with a teenager.
I guess to them, sex is only a crime when it’s between consenting adults.

She’s doing ”the people’s work”

Nope, she slept with men outside of her marriage, so that wasn’t a big deal to her, an allegedly devout Christian woman and wife. Now ex-wife, because her husband told her whorish @ss the marriage was over.
As I said in another post, The GQP really is obsessed with Hunter Biden’s pen1s and sex life!
Clearly they aren’t getting enough and are getting off to him! Marge Taylor Greene couldn’t help herself at the hearing. Was that her moaning by the end of her revenge porn show-and-tell?

Does she think Hunter Biden is the only one who took naked pics with a sex worker or another adult? If that’s a crime there are a lot of Americans in trouble.

It is just so sad how far these people continue to drag our nation, and the national dialogue, down with their shameless and out right cruel and abusive actions. We should be expecting better from our elected representatives. This… this, I don’t know what this is anymore.

Completely agree! Smiling smugly like she has presented anything remotely resembling evidence? Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves. She has turned a somewhat respectable law-making body into an embarrassing sideshow act. And isn’t what she did illegal???

Queerty, why do you keep publishing articles with massive amounts of Twitter posts? Don’t you know there’s a new game in town? I’m starting to think you’re in bed with Elon.

Good luck getting an answer to that.

But I like it when they post tweets that are connected with the story. A recent favorite: RFK Jrs’ riotous claim that “the first 1,000 recorded cases of AIDS were people addicted to poppers” prompted the tweet “How did all those African children get hold of poppers?”
abfab
”I could be mulling his (RFK jr) apparent belief that the coronavirus was diabolically engineered to spare Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish people while he has already moved on to the hypothesis that Ron DeSantis is a hologram gone haywire (I could buy into this one), the revelation that earbuds deliver subconsciously perceptible government propaganda through our auditory canals or the epiphany that French bulldogs cause global warming. He’s a crank who cranks out whoppers the way Taylor Swift disgorges perfect pop songs.”

”All of which makes him an especially incoherent opportunist. Let’s be clear: As Kennedy promotes the specter of microchips in vaccines, as he posits that H.I.V. may not be the sole cause of AIDS, as he says that Anne Frank had it better than Americans under Covid lockdown, as he claims that Covid vaccines are often deadlier than what they’re supposed to prevent, as he fingers the C.I.A. for his uncle’s assassination and Prozac for mass shootings, he can portray a society in which the deck is stacked against all the little people because the deck has been stacked so heavily in his favor. His rapt audiences and his shimmering Kennedy-ness are inextricable.”

May she be hit by a Metro Bus on Constitution Ave, NW. And then dragged under the bus to Dupont Circle.

I don’t know why the Dems are so intent on trying to save the Biden Crime Family. It’s so obvious they are all corrupt, not just Hunter. How people continue to believe they’re an honorable family is beyond me.
abfab
Tell us all about your family. That should be a good read.
Bosch
Ah, no comment on the Hunter porn at the hearings? The subject of the article? Just some deflection?
DBMC
Hey Shaver, give us proof, not dick pics.
ShaverC
Bosch, I do think they should concentrate on the evidence proving Hunter took money from Ukraine and handed some of it to his father in a deal. I think that’s more important than pix of Hunter cracked out of his mind with h**kers.
abfab
And when ”they concentrate” on that, you’ll be happy.
And after they ”prove that”, all of your prayers will be answered. Your focus on this ”drug addict” is kind of interesting.
ShaverC
abfab, To quote Hunter in a message to a Chinese energy executive, “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
abfab
I do not, and never have, believed anything you’ve typed in Q. You’ll never be happy, and you can forget about those prayers.
PubisHairus
I, for one, am grateful for the taxpayer money spent to expose how giant Hunter’s hog really is.
Now, go yell *OFF* your porch some more!

I truly don’t understand why anyone responds to ShaverQ or any of it’s other nicknames. If you don’t feed the troll it will go elsewhere. It’s not a difficult concept. Of course, some of you come here just to argue. Obviously.

“Biden C***** F***” blah blah. Shavergurrrrl, do you think this is Breitbart or FoxNews or NewsMax? Repeating false garbage doesn’t make it real. Get that nonsense out of here!
LifeinShaw
Oh you are so right. Hunter should be removed from office immediately if not sooner. Oh wait… Hunter is not in office. The Biden Crime family does even come close to the sins of the Trump Crime Family. But I digress.
Openminded
The facts are, depending on which source you believe, the message very well may be true. What can’t be proven is IF future POTUS Biden was actually sitting there with Hunter. Even if Hunter is guilty as sin, there’s still no proof POTUS Biden had anything to do with it.
I’m not picking sides here, just stating the known provable facts which are all that really matters at the end of the day. I’m also not a big fan of the current POTUS, but again, even if his son may be a bigger con than Trump may be proven to be, does it really mean anything negative towards Joe Biden other than he may have raised a failure of a son?
abfab
This crazy bitch should bring in a George Santos dik pik.
Mr. Stadnick
She is not a law maker she is a snake oil saleman. This isn’t anything but being as outrageous as she can be so she can get her name in the news papers and adhance her”fame”. She is a shameul bit of filth and ALL Americans should be ashamed someone so classless and vulgar is representing this country in the media. She brings zero substance and has done nothing of any import other than make herself a figure of fun. I hope her parents are dead so they don’t have to see what a horrible job they did as parents. I pity her family and constituents that voted for her proving themselves duped and stupid.
Mister P
“Biden crime family” is a bit much.
How does anyone know that message is legit?
abfab
Because shavers says it is.
Mack
It’s a phrase that the right wingers uses to deflect from the actual Trump Crime Family. Seems to me that the Trump Crime Family actually exist and looks as though they’re going to eventually get held accountable. Let’s see, they’ve already screwed different charities, and they’ve played with taxes on bonuses. And of course we have the idiot calling different people to “FIND VOTES” so that he can be re-elected. I want to know why Jared got all that money from the Saudis.

Don the Con’s own Justice Department kapo Bill Barr said that message was unverified garbage and didn’t act on it, so the GQP is trying its best to find something, anything to smear Biden with.
Remember, Don the Con got IMPEACHED the first time trying to get Zelenskyy to smear Biden! That was before Biden beat him like a prizefighter in the 2020 election. The GQP are doing everything they can to damage him, though a poll today showed Dark Brandon beating Don the Con handily, and even with a third party candidate in it, Dark Brandon still wins.
Of course anything could happen and it will be quite a battle in 2024, but just keep in mind the GQP will search for any scrap possible, because they have no policies and plans to help regular Americans, just tax cuts for the rich, deregulation for huge corporations, and outright fascism to turn back the clock to 1850!
decrans
Which polls and how many third-party candidates? Realistically, we have the far-left with Cornel West (Green Party), Joe Manchin centrists (No Labels) and whatever party RFK Jr. hitches a ride to. That’s three independent parties eating away at Sleepy Joe’s voting bloc. How does the math work on that? In every other election for the past 20 years, it’s been razor-thin margins.
decrans
The Monmouth Poll excluded the Green Party. I wouldn’t put too much stock in that.

What does it say that a gay Democrat was the whistleblower? What does it say that the IRS was stonewalled by the Biden administration over inquiries into Hunter’s taxes? If The Donald did that for Ivanka, Queerty’s merry band of neoliberal idiots (abfab, Dave Matthews, Bosch) would be aghast and horrified.
ShaverC
It’s like a cult.
Kangol2
Was the IRS “stonewalled by the Biden administration”? What does it say that one of the whistleblowers is a foreign agent? What does it say that this began in 2020, before Biden even took office? What does it say that you vomit up whatever right-wing talking points are out there?
“Federal authorities with the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, led by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump-era appointee, had been investigating Hunter Biden since 2018, but the probe was temporarily paused for several months ahead of the 2020 presidential election.”
“The investigation spilled into public view in December of 2020, shortly after Joe Biden secured the presidency {BUT BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE, IN JANUARY 2021], when Hunter Biden confirmed the probe into his “tax affairs.” Prosecutors have examined whether he paid adequate taxes on millions of dollars of his income, including money he made from multiple overseas business ventures.”
Also:
“Attorney General Merrick Garland, who had testified on Capitol Hill that the Hunter Biden probe was free from any improper political interference, responded to the letter by saying he stood by that statement.”
I’ll believe Garland over clowns the GQP pulls out of their clown hats any day.
decrans
Does it give you pause that a gay Democrat led the congressional hearing yesterday? It should. Nothing you copied and pasted disproves what I said. A gay Democrat was stonewalled and Hunter Biden committed fraud by diverting funds to pay for hookers on his corporate account. I’ll say it again for the people in the back. Go talk to any incarcerated Black person who committed similar crimes to Hunter Biden. Please let me know how that goes, Kangol. Truly.

Every time I see this despicable creature’s face, hear her voice, or read something that she has said or posted I wonder……….How insane are the people of her state that voted her into office? They must be even more batshit crazy than she is.

MTG and her fellow GOPs lie and deny, never admitting the truth! Hunter Biden is cooperating and admitting his whoopses and so are president Biden. Former president Trump is lying and denying so he should be arrested, convicted, and jailed!l
