All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?

[Brian Peacock]

It's not news unless he grabs them by the pussy.

[Cunt]

Whereas if he were a republican, just saying 'grab them by the pussy' would be enough.

When you --anyone-- tire of the tabloid politics I'll be here with the goods, the boring.

Biden EPA toughens smog curbs at power plants to protect 'downwind' states

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Monday it will require power plants in a dozen states to cut their smog emissions starting this year as part of an effort to help areas of the country that are downwind of polluting industry.

The move to finalize previously proposed changes to the U.S. Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is among the first actions by the EPA under its new administrator, Michael Regan, who was confirmed by the Senate last week and is expected to play a central role in President Joe Biden’s push to crack down on polluters and fight climate change.

The EPA estimated the changes to the pollution rule would reduce emissions by 17,000 tons beginning in 2021, reducing asthma attacks, emergency room visits and premature deaths. The agency first proposed the changes late last year under the Trump administration after a court in 2019 found that the EPA had been failing to protect some states from significant upwind pollution.

Biden Administration to Invest $150 Million to Expand Access to COVID-19 Treatments in Underserved Communities

As part of the Biden Administration's ongoing efforts to promote health equity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is investing $150 million to increase access to COVID-19 monoclonal antibody therapeutic treatments for patients in vulnerable communities across the country.

This new effort will speed assistance to hard-hit communities to increase administration of monoclonal antibody treatments to prevent hospitalizations and deaths. Assistance may include additional staffing, infusion center capacity in traditional and non-traditional health care settings, and equipment to administer the intravenous infusion treatments. The effort will also increase awareness among health care providers and patients about the treatment options available, including where and how to access them.

Speaking of tabloids, does anyone have a photo of Hunters cock? Asking for a friend...

[Joe]

Speaking of trolling.

We assess that Russia's intelligence services, Ukraine­ linked individuals with ties to Russian intelligence and their networks, and Russian state media, trolls, and online proxies engaged in activities targeting the 2020 US presidential election. The primary effort the IC uncovered revolved around a narrative-that Russian actors began spreading as early as 2014-alleging corrupt ties between President Biden, his family, and other US officials and Ukraine. Russian intelligence services relied on Ukraine-linked proxies and these proxies' networks-including their US contacts-to spread this narrative to give Moscow plausible deniability of their involvement. We assess that the goals of this effort went beyond the US presidential campaign to include reducing the Trump administration's support for Ukraine. As the US presidential election neared, Moscow placed increasing emphasis on undermining the candidate it saw as most detrimental to its global interests. We have no evidence suggesting the Ukrainian Government was involved in any of these efforts.

• A network of Ukraine-linked individuals­ including Russian influence agent Konstantin Kilimnik-who were also connected to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) took steps throughout the election cycle to damage US ties to Ukraine, denigrate President Biden and his candidacy, and benefit former President Trump's prospects for reelection. We assess this network also sought to discredit the Obama administration by emphasizing accusations of corruption by US officials, and to falsely blame Ukraine for interfering in the 2016 US presidential election.

• Derkach, Kilimnik, and their associates sought to use prominent US persons and media conduits to launder their narratives to US officials and audiences. These Russian proxies met with and provided materials to Trump administration-linked US persons to advocate for formal investigations; hired a US firm to petition US officials; and attempted to make contact with several senior US official s. They also made contact with established US media figures and helped produce a documentary that aired on a US television network in late January 2020.

• As part of his plan to secure the reelection of former President Trump, Derkach publicly released audio recordings four times in 2020 in attempts to implicate President Biden and other current or former US Government officials in allegedly corrupt activities related to Ukraine. Derkach also worked to initiate legal proceedings in Ukraine and the US related to these allegations. Former Ukrainian officials associated with Derkach sought to promote similar claims throughout late 2019 and 2020, including through direct outreach to senior US Government officials.

Scanned it, didn't see mention of the Hunter laptop. I think it's the FBI, not DNI who was investigating that bit though. I lose track, as the hilarity piles up.

[Joe]

More trolling. These Russians were busy.

Throughout the election cycle, Russia's online influence actors sought to affect US public perceptions of the candidates, as well as advance Moscow's long­ standing goals of undermining confidence in US election processes and increasing sociopolitical divisions among the American people. During the presidential primaries and dating back to 2019, these actors backed candidates from both major US political parties that Moscow viewed as outsiders, while later claiming that election fraud helped what they called "establishment" candidates. Throughout the election, Russia's online influence actors sought to amplify mistrust in the electoral process by denigrating mail-in ballots, highlighting alleged irregularities, and accusing the Democratic Party of voter fraud.

• The Kremlin-linked influence organization Project Lakhta and its Lakhta Internet Research (LIR) troll farm--commonly referred to by its former moniker Internet Research Agency (IRA)-amplified controversial domestic issues. LIR used social media personas, news websites, and US persons to
deliver tailored content to subsets of the US population. LIR established short-lived troll farms that used unwitting third-country nationals in Ghana, Mexico, and Nigeria to propagate these US-focused narratives, probably in response to efforts by US companies and law enforcement to shut down UR-associated personas.

• Russian state media, trolls, and online proxies, including those directed by Russian intelligence, published disparaging content about President Biden, his family, and the Democratic Party, and heavily amplified related content circulating in US media, including stories centered on his son. These influence actors frequently sought out US contributors to increase their reach into US audiences. In addition to election-related content, these online influence actors also promoted conspiratorial narratives about the COVID-19 pandemic, made allegations of social media censorship, and highlighted US divisions surrounding protests about racial justice.

• Russian online influence actors generally promoted former President Trump and his commentary, including repeating his political messaging on the election results; the presidential campaign; debates; the impeachment inquiry; and, as the election neared, US domestic crises. Influence actors sometimes sought to discourage US left-leaning audiences from voting by suggesting that neither candidate was a preferable option. At the same time, Russian actors criticized former President Trump or his administration when they pursued foreign policies-such as the targeted killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020-at odds with Russia's preferences.

• LIR, which probably receives tasking and strategic direction from the Kremlin, pushed stories supporting former President Trump and denigrating President Biden after he became the presumptive nominee in April.

I heard Bongino make the point that making the claim that the Hunter laptop was disinformation, is disinformation.

He's the new Rush Limbaugh, so probably can be trusted to be a bit more critical of Biden, than the fawning media and sullenly delighted bureaucracy.

[Hermit]

I heard Bongino make the point that making the claim that the Hunter laptop was disinformation, is disinformation.

Fascinating. Let me guess; you heard the assertion made in an hour-long monologue.

[Cunt]

Can't remember. I listen while I do drudgery.

I do often reflect on how fact-checkers always seem to have a similar smell to them. Almost like it isn't worth checking facts which embarrass the poor old guy.

He really can't withstand anything. That's why they keep not putting him in front of any serious questions.

[Hermit]

Can't remember.

Sooooooo... Nothing. Again.

[Cunt]

I already knew how interested you would be in evidence proving the media are dirty smear-merchants and they trick rubes into hating Trump with lies by such Fuchs in government.

If you were interested, you could probably find your own sources, or check out Bongino (pro-tip, google podcasts lets you double his speed, so he sounds a lot more like Shapiro)

[Hermit]

If you were interested, you could probably find your own sources

Another explicit refusal to back your assertions up with evidence. Came right out of the blue, that did. Honestly, I really thought you were about to change your debating policy.

[Cunt]

I told you where it is. I've decided that one is a stroke against WaPo, Biden and blue-anon, and moved on. You take all the time you need.

Speaking of moving on, Tim Pool says that Putin has offered to discuss, live and uninterrupted, Biden's recent comments with Biden.

Of course, Biden won't even face a tough questioner from his fawning media pool. I wonder how he'll back out of this one.

Maybe he could apologize, and offer some foreign aid lol

[Cunt]

debating policy.

My debating policy is that I will accept an invitation to debate, if I think it is serious, interesting and in an appropriate forum. So far, you just don't tick enough of my boxes. Sorry Hermit.

I'm just here to answer the age-old question - Biden: Is It Over Yet?

No, it isn't. Not yet.
