to the echo chamber, tonight I chose NBC, and WOW!
There was a full-blown Hunter Biden segment that just as easily could have been on Tucker Carlson. I.could.not.believe.it.
They cite the laptop, the computer store, the emails, the $400k, the millions from the Chinese...
And how may pathetic liberal reporters sung the Russian Disinformation song? How many lying democrat pundits went on camera hundreds of times spewing lies about the laptop being a ploy from the Russians.
How many of you horribly gullible and not-so-smart democrats believed every word of it?
I'd say Hunter Biden could well be going to jail. Dude was a drug addict. Anybody could see he's been compromised 50 different ways. Definitely is not going to make daddy look good, for sure, even though there's not the slightest sign Joe himself was remotely involved.
Where he got money, and how he got it into the States, is likely what's going to sink him if he ends up charged. Paper trails. The guy for durn sure wasn't any sort of master crook.
Might even be enough to keep Joe from running again. If he's still dragging low-40's or below come primary season it definitely invites a primary challenge...and I could see the right challenger unseating Joe.
Good luck with that one. Where's the money, again? Joe released his financials. Unless you can show he somehow falsified those, I wish you all the luck in the world trying to make anything legal stick. Shucks, nothing's stuck to Trump yet and he's got casinos and apartment blocks filled with Russians, Saudis, and international arms dealers.
Joe's not a big money spinner, he never was. Dude rode the same train to work for 40 years, lived in the same house...he wasn't interested in the Gangsta Roll or doing crime. He was comfie, he had the same (legal!) Golden Parachute coming his way all lifelong politicos have, he didn't have to be.
Sure, this stuff with his kid, if it goes down, isn't going to help a popularity rating that's already sagging, and could even result in him not running in 2024 or getting successfully primaried by someone with less...baggage.
So?
Joe's nothing but a compromise candidate space-holder, not a cult of personality. You're playing a zero-sum game, trying to obliterate Joe like he's the queen in a game of chess, Trump's personal nemesis...he isn't. He's actually a pretty low-value piece, honestly, and you damage him to the point he doesn't run again or gets beat, all you're likely doing is offering the Dems a chance at an upgrade in 2024.
If that gives you joy, Oh Well. Have at it, I guess.

This isn't "the left". It's left, moderates, and real conservatives, all with critical thought and who know how to examine facts and evidence, who look at this case and can see it stinks of BS. The other side are desperate Trumpies who are just begging for it to be true.
And the punishment has already been determined to be coming on Nov. 3. Americans are fed up with all this crap. This case is an obvious and desperate fabricated hail mary. Anyone immediately felt this case was true without waiting for more information or facts is simply naive, gullible, and blindly partisan.
Sorry, the laptop and the Deep Poo that Hunter Biden appears to be in are separate issues.
Hunter was the target of all this smearing precisely because he was obviously dirty. I've been saying that all along. When you're mudslinging, you go after the obvious weak link, and somebody obviously dug for dirt on him and struck gold. (I'm mixing metaphors something awful there, but you get the idea.) He was a drug addict, he was running around the world taking money from obviously unsavory people while trading on Daddy's name, he was obviously compromised. Looks like Biden's brother James may have gotten dragged into some of the money stuff too.
That's politics. Dirty, but it's how it goes.
The laptop's a different issue. Legally it's completely inadmissible because it's the fruit of a tree so poisoned it's ridiculous. The chain of custody on that is so borked there's no coming back from it, ever. The story of how that repair-shop owner allegedly acquired it - but being blind couldn't quite ID the guy who dropped it off - is so obviously bogus it's cringeworthy. (Try putting that guy on the stand anywhere, see how it goes.) So how'd the laptop get there, loaded with incriminating E-mails and videos and photos of past sins? Gosh, I wonder. Who do we know who was looking for leverage on Biden again? And how'd it get in the hands of Rudy and Steve Bannon?
(crickets chirp)
That said, if those E-mails were legit (even if obviously planted, and the laptop was clearly planted), and were just the product of a deliberately incriminating hack-and-dump, they still can be big glaring pointers the FBI can use to track down legit evidence that a competent defense attorney can't get thrown out in about six seconds. The laptop any first-year law student could get thrown out. Its contents...those can be verified other ways.
Which could be kind of rough on Hunter. And that's the problem with trading on Daddy's name and acting the fool all over the world. Bad people buy you, compromise you...and then use your dumb against you to beat your Daddy over the head with.
The laptop appearing when it did was just another manufactured "October Surprise", an attempt to influence the timing of the revelation. It fizzled because it was a clumsily obvious manufactured October Surprise with so many glaring red flags over it I can't quickly recount them, and the MSM wasn't going to follow News Corp and Rupert Murdoch down the primrose path again. And they won't, again, ever, like it or not. Dirty tricks work once, then everybody gets wise to them. And News Corp's credibility with the MSM, whatever sliver of credibility it might have once had, is completely blown. Permanently. And that's 100% on News Corp.
So this thing's going to play out, legally, like it should. If there's evidence against Hunter - or James - or even Joe himself (which I doubt, but let's assume it exists), they should go to jail. There's a long way between here and there but given what I've seen of Hunter so far, I doubt he put on a master class in Elite Crime. If Hunter was dirty, you'd think it might end up being pretty straightforward to prove. And that's not going to help Poppa Joe any.
But again...so what? Joe's just Some Guy doing a job. If enough of America loses faith in him, he'll get replaced. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? And shouldn't we maybe have a lot less faith in careerist insider professional politicians anyhow? What is it they say again about power corrupting?
The examination confirmed that nearly 22,000 emails carried cryptographic signs attesting to their validity. But the data had been so mishandled over the years that it was impossible to reach a general conclusion about its contents.
What has been confirmed is that some of the data on the device is apparently authentic...which I said from the beginning might be true.
It was a (very clumsy) October Surprise. Period. Political fodder, designed purely to embarrass Joe before the election.
If it takes down Hunter now, I could care less. Sounds like Hunter might have it coming.

The guy lost his mother, sister, and eventually his younger brother, and probably did not get to spend a whole lot of time with his dad growing up. The fact that he is a depraved drug addict is hardly surprising.
Half of my point in the post is aimed at what T3 is showing/proving for the umpteenth time.
The left has no ability to discern fact from fiction, truth from lie, etc. None.
What you are yelling and screaming about today, will be proven false tomorrow, but you will be yelling at the next hoax issue by then. Rinse and repeat.
Are you claiming Hunter Biden drunk drove to that repair shop, left it with a blind man who couldn't conclusively ID him but was concerned by its contents (even though he never should have been looking at those), and no foreign hands whatsoever touched it?
Seriously?
And you're claiming the left has a problem with reality...even though I'm a lifelong Republican who only voted Dem this latest election (a pure anti-Trump vote). Which I've also told you about a gazillion times, and which you don't notice because in your addled lunatic skull I'm a lib and that's that?
Hunter sure can make some amazing deals and contacts for a drug addict. How does a guy like that broker such deals? I don’t know I guess Hunter is just that special.

Notice how lock-step the MSM is with the Hunter Biden 'news'?
Nothing but across the board denials for 16 months.
Then, as if a light comes on (i.e., the DNC powerbrokers give out marching orders), the Hunter Biden story is 'released' as it it was some sort of a new revelation. NYT, then WAPO, then the rest of them come pouring out ... all with the same 'The C(H)unter did it' story.
And where are the "Rudy Giuliani is a quack" talking heads?
Rudy may have lost his fastball, but he's still got nice off-speed pitches. And he's not crooked like the DOJ prosecutors.
Has the DNC started the program to get rid of Joe? If so, then how will they stomach Kamala?
It's oinking like a pig, wallowing like a pig, smells like a pig ... I wonder if it really is a pig?
And WTH are you tagging me for on this post? Please find one post I made saying that I was a Dem. I've only voted for one in my life and that was because the alternative was a horrifying, not-conservative con-man that was dangerous to our country IMO (and this proved to be true from 11/3/20 to present). As for Hunter, I've never given 2 shids about him or the laptop story. Drug addicts do all kinds of weird stuff, one of my late brothers is proof positive of that fact. I do take a little pleasure in that the DOJ now appears to be doing their job INDEPENDENTLY again. I'm all for equal justice for all criminals, no matter how much money they have, what position they happen to hold/held in our gov. and this includes Trump, Hunter and Mr. Magoo.
I guess you are still butthurt over the times that I've corrected you on your numerous Covid misinformation posts or when I TD most of your posts concerning race. Oh well, I'm happy for you on your "The MSM says Hunter's laptop is real" post. Congrats, now if we could only get Fox to report facts also then maybe this country could get a little bit of its sanity back. BTW, here is a recent post of mine on a thread concerning the media:
Sorry, wrong guy. It's all a blur when it comes to leftist-leaning posts.
Remind me of when you corrected a COVID post of mine. You can't correct facts (although you can spin them), and for the most part I only posted the Biden Death Count and factual statements made by the Big Guy. I am not an anti-vaxxer (fully vaxed and boosted) and asked more questions on this board than made controversial statements, as I recall.
Well, I did talk about not trusting the gubment on numerous occasions due to the many voices (CDC, president, Fauci, etc.) taking different positions on the same issue over time. But, those are pretty much factual as well. They said what they said, and I can't fault anyone for not trusting big brother at this point.
When you have some idea how lobbying works, you know the art of the possible when it comes to payoffs (e.g., campaign donations) and corruption. I absolutely believe if Pfizer, Moderna and others wanted to push the national agenda on vaccinations they could, almost irrespective of data.
You took the time to find those posts. That's pretty pathetic. Arguing over what stats mean what and you believe you were "right."
Make up any silly COVID theory and you can probably find data to support it. I was just looking at data - maybe different data and maybe in a different way than you. You think you are an expert on COVID cause-and-effect - whatever.
You are just triggered that you and the rest of the anti-Trumper, follow the next hoax crowd has again been proven wrong.
It took 3 minutes using the search function for "BDC" and such. I guess you missed your post where you said that you deserved the "I told you so". You deliberately misstate the data to fit your narrative like when you posted "COVID Delta is way over-hyped " before the actual death counts actually went up or expecting deaths to somehow stop on inauguration day. It's just dumb, which is why I call you out on it. Peace!
Let's be honest, this has got to be low hanging fruit for a prosecutor. Hunter Biden is a crack head druggy with no skills that he was getting paid for except his Daddy was the VP. They probably have him for money laundering and tax evasion at the very least plus who know what other laws he broke. It just takes time to get the documentation together especially since Daddy is the POTUS. All I's have to be dotted and T's crossed.
As far as Joe, I doubt they have any documentation of money going directly to him. Surely, they were not that stupid. However, I will never believe a Politician Dad would see that his son or daughter all of a sudden is rolling in all these millions of dollars and not ask about his business or how you were earning all this money. It's highly likely Joe knew most of what was going on, but there's just not a paper trial to Joe.
... where I give two shids about Hunter Biden or his laptop? That crackhead is off his rocker, and no clue why anybody would pay him for influence.
Dude has a history of poor decisions (like dating his dead bros widowed wife) and is a complete train wreck. Thanks goodness papa Biden doesn’t hire him in the whitehouse or to be advocate on tv for his administration (anybody that does it is trash).
