So - it had all the hallmarks of a russian disinfo campaign, but it really was hunter’s laptop and that same laptop drive was given to Guiliani where he watched CP and kept it and the smoking gun of his influence in a Ukrainian company’s influence was . .

What the fuck is the actual story. My one remaining MAGA person is convinced of all of that because “a” laptop was introduced in his gun trial that the defense “did not object to.” Therefore it’s all real just like Guiliani said. This article from a source I don’t know says he really did drop off a laptop for repair. Did he? Wtf is the actual story?

Like the Tim Walz China story. What's the problem? I think people are just trying really hard for a "both sides" opportunity to sweep their own shit under the rug. They just need something. Nothing ever comes from their witch hunts. But they can be effective at hurting candidates. Benghazi!!

No I mean - literally - what’s the actual story? I’ve got a bunch of made up shit and a handful of sort-of-relevant, related facts.

I do t care about Hunter either way, but it’s pretty gross how the GOP listed over getting their hands on dick pics from someone just for being related to a politician. Margie sure loved showing them. They’d flip the fuck out of it happened to one of their own.

I love that this applies to basically everything for republicans, but that's expected from crybully fascists.

They just gloss over the fact that the man helping Giulianni push the laptop issue turned out to be a Russian asset

Seems like an opportunistic cash grab

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
