According to a Tuesday letter addressed to committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), Biden agreed to testify before the committee on Dec. 13 — as long as the hearing was public. In the letter, Biden’s attorneys quoted Comer’s own demand, issued in November, that given Biden’s “willingness to address this investigation publicly up to this point, we would expect him to be willing to testify before Congress.”

The letter added that open-door proceedings “would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.”

Republicans would not have it. “Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else,” Comer wrote in a statement. “That won’t stand with House Republicans.”

      I think deep down you know there’s guaranteed hate from a select number of male politicians just straight based on dick envy (assuming I’m understanding the comments right). It sums up our government in better ways than most journalists could nowadays.

        Marge seems positively obsessed with it. A few of the Karens I know IRL seem to bring up the nudes on the “laptop” at nearly every opportunity. I think I have an idea about just why they constantly talk about it. Most Americans DGAF about Hunter - who doesn’t even hold any office and has zero effect on their lives, but a certain kind of man and a certain kind of woman seem to be unable to stop talking (and thinking) about him and his nudes.
