I still don't know what the fuck is on Hunter's laptop and why I should care.

I know most will dismiss this as it's Hunter Biden, but the fact that so many news organizations and social media outlets completely shut it down, or as Facebook admits now, limited it's spread, based on information from the FBI and not by verifying it themselves, is pretty scary.  

Zuckerberg said they limited it after receiving a generic warning about Russian fake news from Trumps FBI.

Probably a bunch of Minecraft stuff and maybe he's also into Hearthstone.

The shame of it all..

There is no reasonable equivocation between Jared Kushner and Hunter Biden.

You know Trumpland is freaking out when you see Hunter’s name resurface.

I mean, there is some evidence of your standard political unethical behavior combined with some money exchanging that you'd certainly question if it was someone from a party you didn't like....but in the grand scheme of things, it's just your basic run of the mill indication of political cronyism that I'm sure most of us would like to go back to.... the good ole days if you will.

This still doesn't tell me what the fuck is on Hunter's laptop.

I still don't know what Joe Biden did wrong here. It appears that the former FBI director was trying to gain access to Biden for a future business relationship when Biden would be out of office and this is all if we are to believe the Daily Wire and Daily Mail.

Yup... most of the laptop is just crude Hunter Biden porn/crap, but there are definitely some things that would at least raise some eyebrows.  Luckily the MSM worked with the Biden Administration and the 50 top former intel officers to convince the majority of people there was nothing to see there.

And again, I agree wholeheartedly with the 'whatabout Trump and/or his kids'.  I will happily punch down my vote for a old school semi-crooked politician in Biden over seditious F@#&$'s.

My next question is where is the evidence it was from Hunter's laptop? I'm not even sure where the corruption is. Someone was trying to buy access to Biden who was leaving office but it doesn't say Biden ever actually did business, directly received money from him, or with him or actually did any favors for this guy while in office.

You must be one of those people that the MSM bamboozled.

so part of this whole thing assumes the VP is a position of power.   Never heard of LBJ or the West Wing?

Last week we were in the car and Brothers in Arms came on and I prompted me to watch that sequence of episodes over the weekend. Might be the best 4-5 episode run of any series ever. Oliver Platt is great. 

[pfife]

My wife and I are watching it for the first time right now and it's awesome.  I'm only on season 1 still but I like Toby.  He seems like the true idealist at least this early in the show.  This episode we watched the other day with homeless veterans was really incredibly moving.

Didn't watch the clip for very long, didn't want to get spoiled.

You're honestly telling me that if it came out that someone gave a Pence family member 100k, made a point to tell his kids, and ask them to tell Pence he would look forward to working with him in the future, you would be fine with no one questioning it?

Are you actually trying to make a hypothetical similar to the hunter thing bc that whole "no one questioning it" thing is pretty ridiculous if you are

And why the hypotheticals?

Hunter 100,000 gets way more questioning than Jareds 2,000,000,000 but knock yourself out with your hypotheticals
