How much of Hunter's scandal(s) can or should rub off on Joe Biden is a legitimate issue, I think (though I remember media folks greedily linking Eric Trump's charity issues to his father). But Joe needs to stop covering for his son at this point in time and allow the chips to fall where they may.

Biden has repeatedly claimed that numerous former intelligence officials say the laptop has all the hallmarks of a foreign disinformation campaign. As far as I know, no current intelligence officials have said this. He could be referring to this, perhaps... www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276But it looks like you might be right, as the Politico piece says "former" rather than "current."

This piece is money: taibbi.substack.com/p/with-the-hunter-biden-expose-suppression-136From it: I'm deeply embarrassed at this point in time on behalf of a lot of people I consider to be friends, people I know are highly educated, generally honest, compassionate, and politically engaged. They're all just going along with this, accepting it as justified, simply because "orange man bad." It's scary how they've completely surrendered their intellect and integrity simply to help Joe Biden get elected, as if he were some sort of savior who would right all the wrongs of the world.

Yeah, the rosey glasses they're viewing him with right now is so disconnected from reality. So many on the left have whipped themselves up into this fever dream that he's going to be amazing and the second coming of Obama.
I wonder how they'll react when it turns out that he's the second coming of Carter (at worst) or Ford (at best).

So, there's more going on with good ol' Hunter. Joe Biden's first official act as President may very well be to pardon his son. Apparently, Hunter and friends have some tax issues and potential money-laundering charges hanging over their heads: www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politics/hunter-biden-tax-investigtation/index.htmlI wonder if all of the people who wanted Manafort's head on a platter will be singing the same song about Hunter... Anyway, this stuff is making strange bedfellows: Mollie Hemingway and Glenn Greenwald on the same side would be...weird. Though to be fair, I follow and read them both. Maybe everyone is finally coming around to my points of view.

It'll be interesting to see not just how, but if, the MSM will cover this story once Biden's in office. I mostly think they'll just ignore it but with Trump gone, what are the primetime CNN and MSNBC shows going to rage about? Possibly this, but in the opposite direction. That is, they'll rage about how it's a GOP conspiracy theory and "something something Russian interference/bots."

Well, you got your wish (re: how the MSM was going to handle this stuff). A nothing report came out the other day from the National Intel Council. I say "nothing" because the report is just lacking in real evidence for what it is claiming. Read it here: www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ICA-declass-16MAR21.pdfMostly, the authors are assessing* things. And from that report, the wildly shared conclusion from "journalists" in the MSM: Many others who breathlessly tweeted something similar to the above--or retweeted someone else saying that--have since deleted or corrected there tweets. And that's because what they were claiming was utter nonsense. Greenwald goes back to the beginning of the story, then lays out the disgusting attempt to revive a bullshit story for the sake of the President's son: greenwald.substack.com/p/journalists-illustrating-how-theyThis is some ugly as shit propaganda being served up by the mainstream media. In that same light, notice how "fact checks" for Biden's remarks barely happen. The other day, Biden said this about his monster spending bill: That's utter bullshit. It's "pants on fire" stuff. But I can't find any fact checkers addressing it or any stories on them doing so, apart from Cato (which is hardly the MSM): www.cato.org/blog/biden-planUnder Trump, I was embarrassed for the government we had. Now, I'm embarrassed for the press we have.

Yeah, I imagine the fact checks (and/or Biden's defense of his remarks) would be that any dissenters don't qualify as "major economists."

Lol, what a bunch of utter bullshit: www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-joe-family-intervention-laptop-reports-memoir/And CBS is letting him get away with this crap. They are utterly complicit in what can only be described as a media-based cover up of a story damaging to the current President. OF COURSE he knows if it's his laptop; when he allows that it might be, he's admitting that it is. And the hacking/Russians shit reminds me of Anthony Weiner's attempt to blame his dic picks on Al Qaeda. Jesus, I'm so embarrassed for the professional media these days.

Haha, this is the Hunter Biden version of OJ Simpson's "If I Did It" book.

The third laptop still appears to be missing – and was taken by Russian drug dealers after they partied with Hunter in Vegas, he told a prostitute in a conversation caught on camera. After filming himself having sex with the woman using his laptop in January 2019, Hunter left the camera rolling as he recounted a Vegas bender in which he spent '18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite,' sometimes costing $10,000 a night. LOL, oh god. This story just gets more entertaining by the week. What an utter fool/tool. Not only have pretty much all of my predictions about how this would go down in the media come true, but we now have much stronger evidence tying Biden to the Russians via Hunter than they ever had tying Trump to the Russians. Where's Rachel Maddow's mouth-frothing "Russia, Russia, Russia!" hysteria now?
