Bidengate Breaks... err... down

[TSwizzle]

If you were really concerned about corrupt politicians, you wouldn't be flogging a story in which there is no credible evidence of any corrupt behavior by the politician you are focusing on.

Did I say I was “concerned”?
“Flogging”? Hardly.
“No credible evidence”? I’ve seen enough that I believe the “Big Guy” is up to his neck in the soft smelly stuff.

If you think differently, that’s cool.

I’ve seen enough that I believe...

Reality doesn't give shit the first what you believe.

 

[fromderinside]

I'd make that shit the everything except there isn't even shit the zeroth.

I suppose that Harry's point is that you spend a great deal more time on "Bidengate" than all of Donald Trump's scandals, even though there is very little meat to chew on when it comes to Hunter Biden, his father, and Chinese/Russian businessmen.

Is there a rule that I am breaking such that my time must be distributed evenly across corrupt politicians?

Not that I'm aware of, but your obsession with Hunter, your insistence on saying "Brandon," and refusal to even mention the infinitely more corrupt previous president makes one thing abundantly clear:

You don't care about the corruption. It's about party for you, and nothing else.

It's why you spend all your effort here gushing about the latest "breaking news" from a right wing tabloid over 8 year old dealings assisted by nepotism, but deliberately ignore that the previous guy gave his daughter and son in law positions actually in the White House that they were neither qualified for, couldn't pass security clearances for, and subsequently used to enrich themselves (violating multiple ethical standards and laws) at a level which makes Hunter look like a pauper.

And of course there's the other issue you'll never address that while the current guy's son struggled mightily with his addiction and dipped in and out of rehab, the former guy's eldest son clearly has at least as big a problem but has never even attempted to get sober. Apparently Hunter is a piece of shit in your world because he was a coke addict, but Don Jr. can do mountains of blow off of hooker's asses and you're just fine with that.

You should just be honest and say you have no problem whatsoever with the Trump family nepotism, corruption, and general shitfuckery, but you've got a "Let's Go Brandon" hard-on out of pure partisanship.

But that would require you to be honest...

Yikes, right wingers are fucking pathetic to still buy this horseshit.

Bannon just had Alex Jones on his podcast and declared him one of the greatest political thinkers of all time and MTG is one of their top fund raisers. I think they'll buy anything at this point if they think it will stop tuh guvmint from taking their stuff and giving it to "those people" or turning their kids into gay frogs.

The Arizona GOP (or part of it, at least) censured the Maricopa County Recorder for saying that Trump lost the 2020 election.

Perspective? He is literally the person in charge of running elections in the county. He knows intimately that Trump lost. And he's a Republican. And a Trump supporter. He is being punished by his own party for saying "no, but seriously...this is what I do for a living. Trump lost. Biden won. I wish it were otherwise, but..."

He said all of this a year ago, and got death threats from his fellow Trump supporters. This is where we are.

But hey...Hunter Biden's laptop?

I would dispute how much time and effort I put into this tawdry story but I’m otherwise tied up trawling “right wing” tabloids looking for Hunter and Big Guy material. But the effort I expend is far less than the effort you spent ranting and raving about right wingers and me.

How come Brandon’s family not only gets a free pass from the media. Not only that but they denied the laptop’s experience and then tried to censor it?

Oh, and meth fiend Hunter just doesn’t seem to be a very nice guy and his dad is up to his neck in his business dealings.

You already know the answer to this. Some on the left rightly assumed that the Hunter Biden "laptop experience" was a nothing burger designed to distract people from the issues. Some assumed that the republicans pushing this were full of shit and that they wouldn't produce real evidence. And guess what - they were 1,000 percent correct! Your side is full of crap. Republicans push this crap about how the election was stolen, aliens are hosting child sex parties in Hillary's basement with zero evidence. And here we are, almost 2 years later, and your side hasn't produced any evidence. Zippo. If it isn't relevant now, how in the world was it relevant two years ago? Here's what I'd say to the republicans who are so obsessed with this story: If there is something interesting on the laptop that is directed at Joe Biden, release it. If there isn't, quit being such a drama queen!

So basically, you're not interested in having a discussion and are doing the online equivalent of a monkey flinging excrement into a fan to see what happens. Strangely enough, I believe you.

It's clear why you want people to think you don't spend a lot of time on this bullshit. That makes absolutely zero fucking sense. If the media censored Hunter's fucking laptop we wouldn't be talking about it. The reason I don't give a fuck is because there have been zero arrests and not much of an investigation. We've been down this fucking road before with Benjamin Ghazi, Obama's Shia Kenyan Connection and Bill Clinton being an assassin.

You and your tribe have cried wolf to many times for me to ever give you the benefit of the doubt. And just in case you're wondering, the total time it to for me to type this is two minutes, five seconds.

Some on the left rightly assumed that the Hunter Biden "laptop existence"* was a nothing burger designed to distract people from the issues.

Such a “nothing burger” that it had to be censored.

Some assumed that the republicans pushing this were full of shit and that they wouldn't produce real evidence. And guess what - they were 1,000 percent correct!

Evidence of what?

The laptop and texts paint a very revealing picture of the tawdry Biden shenanigans. I don’t know why you’re having such a conniption about your guy and his dysfunctional family being revealed for the corrupt crooks they are and you are fine with the press being complicit in running interference for them. TDS seems to last forever.

It might have been shocking to you that there were pictures of Hunter's tawdry shenanigans. But for me - Meh. I just don't care. And as for the censors, they sure did a poor job censoring fox news and all the other right wing news groups about this issue!

Shocked? Jeezus, I’m not even slightly surprised that the Brandon family are dysfunctional and crooked.

But for me - Meh. I just don't care.

Says the person bitching about it for months.

And as for the censors, they sure did a poor job censoring fox news and all the other right wing news groups about this issue!

But the censors did try.

Examples?

Apparently not wasting time on unconfirmed unverified innuendo is considered censorship these days.

 

[Rhea]

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

 

[Elixir]

Huge or not, it’s still good that some outlets are reporting the tawdry Brandon family.

Yeah it keeps Melaria’s nude photos and escort history off the front page. Not to mention Ivanka’s corrupt China patents and her husband’s 2b$ payola blood money!

 

[TSwizzle]

Perhaps censor is too strong but Twitter and Facebook did suppress the dissemination of the story on their platforms. and CNN declared it a Russian misinformation hit piece along with 50 former FBI staff. CNN would have been more credible had they just ignored the story.

How come Brandon’s family not only gets a free pass from the media

Because he's just some moderately successful racing car driver, with one win in seven years of racing, whose family are of little interest even to NASCAR fans.

Duh.

If you are really interested, according to Wikipedia:

"Brown graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2018 with a degree in communication;[36] he was also a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.[2] The school serves as a primary sponsor on Brown's truck and Xfinity car.[9][37]

His father and team owner, Jerry Brown, underwent "aggressive" treatment for cancer after being diagnosed during a routine check-up on April 7, 2020.[38] He revealed that his father was cancer-free on August 26 after a five month battle.[39]"

While it's nice that his dad pulled through, it's really not the kind of story the tabloid media want to get their teeth into.

It's not just too strong. It's laughably false.

Some outfits did come down on the unsubstantiated story. Most didn't, including the most mainstream of news, FOX.

You may call that censorship but most people consider it common courtesy.
