Are Dems arguing it's OK to commit extortion, bribery & obstruction of justice if it helps advance their worldview?

Or does the partisanship of America mean a fraudster can just invoke some ideological tribe+gain allies who won't bother to learn facts?

dailywire.com/news/dems-help…
Basically this case comes down to:
> Oil companies like Chevron are bad
>> OK, but in this instance, you totally fabricated all the evidence against them in a brazen shakedown attempt and relied on bribed a judge to make your case
> Why are you siding with someone bad!?
It's a clear attempt to politicize the judiciary, where someone's culpability rests not on whether they actually did something, but on whether they're popular under identity politics, etc.

That's a pretty frightening road to go down.
Sure, US courts found that the 'human rights' lawyer ghost-wrote an "expert's" report finding pollution, and promised a foreign judge a $500k kickback for a pollution ruling.

But AOC tells Garland: it “involved urgent environmental justice concerns of Indigenous people”!

Hunter Biden discussed starting a business that would include himself, Jeff Cooper, and eventually--Joe Biden.

Cooper tried to broker a deal between Burisma and a Mexican company, and Cooper, the Mexican, and Hunter had a meeting in Joe Biden's office.

dailywire.com/news/hunter-bi…
Cooper also accompanied Joe Biden on a trip to Mexico.

Cooper is an international investor and gambling CEO who had a deal with Hunter for equity sharing on "various projects dealing with both domestic and international transactions."
“In order to develop this as a platform for both JRBs I think it is imperative we (the three of us) have full control come 2016 when JRB1 comes on board,” Hunter wrote to Jeff Cooper in November 2014.

“I think we can pull this off,” Cooper wrote.

A MO school district told principals to create two sets of lesson plans: real ones, focused on topics like "privilege," and fake ones to show parents

"Prior to the pandemic you didn't send everything home or have it available... We are going old-school."

dailywire.com/news/rockwood-…
"Keep teaching! Just don’t make everything visible on Canvas. This is not being deceitful. This is just doing what you have done for years. Prior to the pandemic you didn’t send everything home or have it available. You taught in your classroom and things were peachy keen."
"Anything that could be picked apart I would suggest using this above approach… I wouldn’t throw it out, but you could just not give them access to the story.

When you get to Power Imbalances – You might remove the two examples and just go over them in class (same as above)."

Software company Basecamp announced Monday that it was a company focused on developing software -- not an entity that should try to shape Americans’ political opinions, engineer its employees’ personal lives, or take positions on unrelated public debates.

dailywire.com/news/basecamp-…
Basecamp is known for expertise in organizational management. It produces efficiency software, heralded remote work a decade ago, and wrote a book on "calm" offices.

Politics at work is a “distraction. It saps our energy, and redirects our dialog towards dark places,” CEO wrote
"By trying to have the debates around such incredibly sensitive societal politics inside the company, we’re setting ourselves up for strife, with little chance of actually changing anyone’s mind.

It’s become ever more stressful, unnerving, and counterproductive."

As 'coronavirus' money rains down on cities, Flint, Michigan lends insight into what could happen next.

The city of 95,000 received $100M, but there was one problem: The water problem was solved years ago, and they could not agree on how to spend it.

dailywire.com/news/flint-cou…
That led to threats, accusations, a warning from the city council's vice president that the money might be coopted by a "crackhead" on the city council, and the promise to "expose that ass" regarding that colleague’s purported "homosexual activities in the penitentiary."
The vice president found bullet holes in his vehicles and police made an arrest after he received a threatening phone call involving city spending.

The council president says she's not sure what the city is allowed to do with the money, though some want to use it for raises.

The Guardian used 'breached' data to dox rank-and-file police who donated $20 to the officer who was cleared of wrongdoing after shooting Jacob Blake.

Twitter manually promoted the article, despite 'hacked materials' and 'personal information' policies.

dailywire.com/news/twitter-p…
There is no apparent news value to naming the officers, who were supporting the due process rights of a colleague and who had donated using the 'anonymous' feature. 'There’s no other value other than to make them fearful,' co-founded of the victimized crowdfunding company said.
Twitter actively promoted a story doxxing rank-and-file police officers (and financial info that was supposed to be anonymous) based on a 'data breach' -- one week after it blocked @WhitlockJason for tweeting the TOWN that BLM founder lives in, calling it 'personal information.'

Insane new audio: Remember a few years ago how Papa John was supposedly racist? A lawsuit says a PR company demanded $6M or it would 'bury' him, then a thinly-sourced story appeared in Forbes.

Audio suggests the company was setting up its own client.

dailywire.com/news/papa-john…
PR firm Laundry Service was hired to improve Papa John's reputation, but a secret recording suggests that its woke staffers were more interested in imposing their ideology, calling him a "sociopath," lamenting that he is "BFFs with [Mike] Pence" and liked a libertarian group.
The woke PR firm lost the Papa John's contract, and had to lay off 10% of its staff. Two days later, Forbes published a thinly-sourced story saying he used the n-word. The call suggests that the company was trying to set up Papa John before he ever made the remark.
