Jon Solomon: Hunter Biden Lobbied Obama's State Department to Lay Off Pressure for Political and Economic Reforms In Ukraine
Nothing to see here, folks. Move on.
Speaking of sons of politicos:
Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian gas firm colleagues had multiple contacts with the Obama State Department during the 2016 election cycle, including one just a month before Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption, newly released memos show. During that February 2016 contact, a U.S. representative for Burisma Holdings sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss ending the corruption allegations against the Ukrainian firm where Hunter Biden worked as a board member, according to memos obtained under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. (I filed that suit this summer with the help of the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.) Just three weeks before Burisma's overture to State, Ukrainian authorities raided the home of the oligarch who owned the gas firm and employed Hunter Biden, a signal the long-running corruption probe was escalating in the middle of the U.S. presidential election. Hunter Biden’s name, in fact, was specifically invoked by the Burisma representative as a reason the State Department should help, according to a series of email exchanges among U.S. officials trying to arrange the meeting. The subject line for the email exchanges read simply "Burisma." "Per our conversation, Karen Tramontano of Blue Star Strategies requested a meeting to discuss with U/S Novelli USG remarks alleging Burisma (Ukrainian energy company) of corruption," a Feb. 24, 2016, email between State officials read. "She noted that two high profile U.S. citizens are affiliated with the company (including Hunter Biden as a board member).["]

The other part of the story is that Secretary of State at the time was John Kerry. Is Chief of staff served on the same board as grift Hunter. I wonder if any of these rats benefited from the US taxpayer essentially making loans through the IMF to an admittedly corrupt government. I wonder as well and if this corrupt government tried to help Democrats in elections. Presidential ones. The one where there was a drunk harridan as the rat candidate.

It's a little more direct than that. Under Obama/Biden, US tax dollars went directly to oil and gas companies in Ukraine including Burisma. Burisma in turn sent money back to Democrat politicians in the form of campaign contributions.
If you want to know how obvious the fraud was one of the people who got a big check from Burisma (through channels of course) was Sen. Ed Markey of MA. Also known as the author of the New Green Deal.
He wants the US to cripple our oil and gas industry but he pushed the Obama administration to give even more money to Burisma.

Not a stretch. Trump is the President. He sees anything he wants to see, and I suspect he wants to see a lot.
The coup plotters think they know everything, but in all likelihood Trump knows more than they do. It is dangerous to negotiate an outcome when your opponent knows more than you. You can ask anyone who has ever bought a car.

And I mean LOST, they literally don't know what happened to it.
Owner of Burisma also owns BANKS, and has at least some involvement in it.
Guys who were in charge of investigating it for Ukraine? have been convicted of meddling in the 2016 US Election, by outing Manafort, who is now in US Prison.

Reading between the lines, there may have been a little tension between Don Jr. and his dad prior to going down the escalator. But he well understood that they need to present a united front, because really, all they have is US.

The US government is technically 22 Trillion Dollars in the whole
and
So the money "given" to the the IMF (or anyone else) has to first be borrowed. At interest.
Have we reached peak absurdity yet? No, of course not. Yet this explains much. It's a bunch of goddamned crooks. The Democrats are a criminal gang masquerading as a legitimate political party at this point.

Ace had the type nailed, in his epic post about the Never Trumpers 2 or more years ago. They bet wrong, and for some of them, they just had two much pride to ever walk back a bad bet - or admit that people they didn't respect were smarter than they were.
The real stupidity, which come out in Tom Nichols whining tweets, is that they never foresaw that they would be left on a little island all by themselves, with everyone else on both sides of the political divide despising them. Max Boot is one who seems desperate to try to get the Progs to like him, and who is dismayed to find that no matter what he does to suck up to them, it can never be enough.

I think it's a combination of factors. Pride and inability to admit they were wrong about something is one of them. Another is a yearning for social acceptance. They mostly live in NY or DC and want to get invited to parties. They want to be able to say, "Well yes, I'm conservative, but I'm not one of thoooosee people..."
Also, in terms of their actual viewpoints a lot of them were never really conservative to begin with. Either that or they defined "conservatism" as supporting Middle Eastern wars and outsourcing jobs to China.

Agreed. It is thoroughly and unalterably one big Shit Sandwich, and they are demanding everybody take a bite.
The money is borrowed from China, so "we" can give it to say, India (or whomever...) and the parasites and lampreys and snakes have insinuated themselves into positions as middlemen, enriching themselves in the process.
And it's all funny money, to get technical about it. Leftist Confetti Bucks. Coin of the Realm. None of this shit would be happening without all the smoke and mirrors. Americans would have burned Washington to the ground long ago.
One can't help but have at least a grudging respect for how wicked everything has turned out. They had a plan, and have been executing it for some time now. My only puzzlement the last 25 years or so was whether "Conservatives" were complicit or merely hopelessly naive.

Really, I'm sure there is are elements of personal animosity, and stubborn pride to the actions and words of the Conservative Media Ecosystem™.
But, at the bottom of it, it's the money, and the cruises. They're crying over their cracked rice bowls and loss of prestige. Wounded egos are easier to soothe than dried up bank accounts. That's why they go into estrus for liberal donors.
But one thing that doesn't enter into their calculations is "principle." All their talk about principles is pure bullshit.

Don't I know it. My writing colleague, the guy who was in Vietnam and is thus old enough to know better, complained last night that "Trump is making his millions instead of watching out for the country." Another member of the group and I pointed out that Trump personally is forgoing millions to be President. "What kind of news are you reading?" we asked.
Him: "Oh, I read all around."
Me: "The Huff-and-Puff Post doesn't count."

Oh they might be able to pull it off, but Iron Man was actually an established character, people had heard of him. There was a really popular song about him. He was kind of iconic in that he was the first real power armor character. The Eternals?

That's just it. If you listen to the scuttlebutt of the Dems, enough of them have internalized Schiff's "parody" that Trump is asking them to make up dirt on Biden.
But why would the country whose official findings Joe claims "clears" him and his son, be such a threat to "make up dirt" when Trump simply encourages them to investigate.
There is little answer despite that Trump's "crimes" must be pursued by the potential to do wrong. Meanwhile, you can't complain about Obama unless you have definite proof that despite the potential for abuse--he did what can't be denied by spin.
Trump asked Ukraine to (continue to) investigate the Biden documented quid-pro-quo. Sure, it has the potential to serve as an invitation to please Trump by manufacturing dirt--but that's not what Trump asked for. Which is why they want to see "the complete transcript" because just like they were sure the walls were closing in and the wheels were coming off. They are sure that there is something more incriminating in the "left out" parts of the transcripts.
When they redacted the FISA warrant application, the libs were all like "Yeah, they redact things--don't ask for more unless you're Putin's puppets!" However, they complain that part of the transcript was redacted , and complain that they don't know for a fact that this was all that was on the transcript.
It is the duplicity of the two-standard approach that will eat away like water on limestone of Dem credibility.

Oh they might be able to pull it off, but Iron Man was actually an established character, people had heard of him. There was a really popular song about him. He was kind of iconic in that he was the first real power armor character. The Eternals? I've been a comic book fan since the late 70s and I barely know anything about them other than being a cheap knockoff of Greek and Roman gods. Second generation, even, since the Second World stuff Kirby did for DC.

Let me axe you something, if you were Donald Trump and you wanted the media to focus on Ukraine but you know they hate you to their core and would never do it if you wanted it, what would you do?
How about helping start a "scandal" on yourself and Ukraine that you knew would be catnip to the media and they would through away all logic and ethics and focus on Ukraine like a laser beam?

Comic fans actually knew about them, and I read quite a bit of their older incarnation. They showed up prominently in the Avengers animated TV show, so had more recent exposure.
But even with all that, the only reason they worked is because the trailer looked hilarious, and the film delivered on that promise. It was goofy and fun. I don't see the Eternals beign that kind of film.

I keep hearing that Iron Man succeeded because of execution, and that there's no way that Eternals could replicate that.
But we've seen nothing of Eternals except a logo. We don't know about the execution.
I'm not exactly some sort of fanboi. I think the whole MCU is a hugely mixed bag with a surprising number of bad movies in it, but Feige has obviously found a way to tap into a zeitgeist and I don't think it's wise to bet against him at this point.
Hell, Captain Marvel made over a billion dollars.
I fully expect the next crop to be making at least $750 million per movie.

DC: "Our movies need to be dark, edgy, realistic, and relate to current events."
Marvel: "How about a raccoon with a bazooka and a taking tree?"
As long as they remembered it was supposed to be fun, Marvel made crazy money, and could still venture into politics and current events (as with Captain America, with Hydra basically being the Deep State) as long as they still entertained.

Here's another thing: I don't think Iron Man is actually very good.
There's the idea of the story, and the actual story. The actual story is staccato and doesn't really connect. Tony doesn't retreat from the world to become a hero. He retreats to play with his toys and then suddenly decides to become a hero while watching the news.
RDJ is charming as hell and papers over a lot of that, but the movie doesn't hold together that well.
So, I fully imagine Eternals being charming but messy and winning over audience hearts.

I think there's something to be said for the fact that the Marvel Movies in the last couple of years function more like 2 hour episodes of a giant TV show that you have to watch in the theater.
If you've become invested in the story they've been telling since the first Avengers, chances are you want to see how it was going to end. So even if an individual episode wasn't your favorite, you were still probably going to see all or most of them, because you wanted to get the whole story.
I think Endgame sort of finished that. The season finished and the next season is starting. It remains to be seen that they can just continue the formula with less popular characters pulling the weight for another epic arc without the big names as the backbone. If people have been feeling superhero burnout (and I think a lot are), they might have toughed it out through Endgame, but I don't know how many are going to pick it up.
If I were to bet, I'd say that like a TV show that got renewed for seasons after it should have run it's course, the Marvel movies are going to peter out over the next few years.

She's the ex-Ambassador to Ukraine who got recalled by Trump, and she hates him for that reason. She was at the center of all of the plots by Biden and Obama.
So of course, she is Totes Impartial.
(btw, I believe Trump made her Ambassador to the EU in order to keep her under control, ie put a leash on her, while giving her a job that is totally inconsequential.)

This is such a lame excuse.
That explains a first week boom in business, but it kept making money for weeks.
People liked it so they went back and gave it a billion dollars.
I thought it was boring.

This is a better explanation than anything, I think.
I'm hoping for this. That people just simply lose interest with the loss of most of the heroes they've grown to know.
But I'm just a pessimist about this. Disney's gonna keep making money hand over fist with Marvel properties for another decade.

1) A howard hughes-like genius inventor was actually the guy IN the armor, not hiring it out
2) Power armor, which is just badass
But yeah, otherwise kind of a tepid character and setting. RDJ made the role interesting and history was made.

I dimly recall that in the comics, Tony Stark/Iron Man was an alcoholic. Was that wiped out in the movies?
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at November 05, 2019 02:03 PM (Ejm1K)
The movie didn't suck but it also didn't fit in with the MCU since they had her get buffed by a UFO engine while nerfing the rest of the field. So, she's too powerful, the Kree/Skrull/whatever made no fucking sense.
And her actual character's character was kinda striving for no reason. She had no motivation other than just another suit that likes beating people up.

I see Mexico has declined help from PDT to take care of the murderous thugs on the border.
Well, that's OK.
I for one don't give a shit what Mexico thinks. A 50 mile buffer zone beyond the wall should work just fine. A complete Free Fire area.

Every other studio will keep chasing those super hero dollars as long as the next Marvel movie makes bank.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Just All about the Billy Wilder movies at November 05, 2019 02:00 PM (q80AH)
The impact on other studios is hard to understate.
We've seen several attempts at a DC comics cinematic universe, and there was even the Universal Studios "Monster-verse" atrocity.
Studios keep trying to make Part 1 and forgetting that Part 1 needs to stand on it's own or else nobody is going to be interested in part 2.

That's old school explanation. There are two billion people in china. If even one out of every thousand go see a movie, that's like half a billion dollars right there. People were not lining up to see Captain Marvel again and again.
Look at how your post ends. Nearly every review by actual viewers (not the paid-off pros) says the same thing. it was dull, it was not very good, it was meh, etc. ALL OF THEM, even the biggest pro-feminist fans around. I know, I talked to and read many of them.
Without that Avengers tie in people would have gone "captain who?" and been kinda turned off by what an obnoxious person Larson was being. You know that's true.

Yeah, poor "enslaved" Puerto Rico, which has repeatedly voted against independence from the U.S. -- because they don't want to give up the billions in welfare dollars they suck up from us every year.
F--k these whiners. PR could have been independent decades ago, if they weren't so damn greedy for other peoples' money. The only people "oppressing" Puerto Ricans are the Puerto Rican voters!

They kind of touched on it in Iron Man 2, but not really. It was his most interesting character trait, that he had to fight that problem and failed sometimes. The best storylines involved that, actually.

We'll see, but the problem is the Avengers that everyone was enjoying and wanted to see?
...are all gone. Thor is the only one left, and he's off in space being fat and dumpy.
It remains to be seen, but I suspect that Marvel is about to find out that their grand scheme is not going to serve them well by abandoning their best old classic characters for new woke ones.

Captain Meh.
And I was a huge CM fan--Mar-Vell is practically my favorite 70s hero. I can't believe they even had to make the Kree Mar-Vell a female.
It was gratuitous.
But as I said last thread, I'm an intellectual, that would prefer the movies to quit insulting my intelligence, so I stick to escapism.

The Soy Wars brand wore out its welcome--probably the biggest brand ever in SF cinema.
What I hear from people who even bother with comics these days is that the writers know how to write Woke, they just don't know how to write stories.
Marvel can easily wear out their welcome by the a-story-is-where-we-subvert-expectations approach.
