But if I don't vote, I can't gripe, right?

Zuck told the same story to Congress nearly 2 years ago. It wasn't a huge deal then.

Depends who you talk to. But I think this time it is in a different light for several reasons. First of all, it came right on the heels of the Sam Harris interview. And secondly, at this point it has been acknowledged by everyone that the laptop was not Russian disinformation.

It was a big deal but when you have media controlling the narrative . . .

It makes me laugh every time.
LOL. Ya think? How long has the right been harping on the lap top? Rumor has it that it's more disinformation from Russia to interfere in our election.

Lets suppose just for grins that Hunter got an email from some corrupt Ukrainian official requesting a meeting with the Vice President Joe Biden. Did that meeting occur? Nope. Lets suppose that Hunter Biden is a piece of crap crook. Lets suppose he was money laundering and dodging taxes. What does that have to do with Joe Biden?

I mean seriously, did he have Hunter working in the white house like Trump did with his children, who by the way, had to have you know, that special favor to get security clearance. That's what? Just hunky dorey? The hypocrisy is embarrassing and the lack of shame on the right? Despicable.

Look. Christopher Wray is a Republican appointed by Trump to run the FBI. Hunter Biden will not get away with anything if he is found guilty in a curt of law. That's a big if. There's no shortage of lies and debunked conspiracy theories on the right. Just because some mouthy Republican senators try to spin a mountain out of a mole hill, doesn't make it so.

Just like the SCOTUS with Trump's stolen seats refused to hear Trump's election fraud case. Never mind that Trump's own lap dog Barr said there is no voter fraud. The rubes believe what they want to believe, facts be damned.

Nobody cares about Hunter Biden. He has nothing to do with the white house, unlike that last grifters that can never run another charitable foundation. These people where in our white house and that's shameful.

Preserving for the monumental level of stupidity.

Remember when Democrats claimed the Hunter laptop story wasn't buried and it was just a made up story from Russia?

Remember when Democrats claimed Biden's daughter's diary detailing Joe's sexual abuse of her was not real?

Remember when Democrats claimed Trump was a Russian asset?

Conclusion? Never trust what Democrats claim. Actually assume the opposite of what they say.

it's never really left. the reason it's big now relates to chuck grassley calling out fbi chump tim thibault for slow-walking the investigation. tim is now doing the slow walk of shame.

You nailed it. The FBI covering up for Hunter & Joe Biden's illegal influence peddling is MUCH worse, than the media covering it all up though.

The FBI has been totally corrupted at the highest levels, and taking just 1 guy out (Timothy Thibault) is like putting a band-aid on a torn thoractic artery. The entire leadership at the FBI in DC must be exorcised for America to function properly again. I'd take away their jobs, pensions, health bene's, & investigate them all for any legal wrongdoing beginning the morning of November 9th....after the election, when the power tilts in a new direction.
