But it was a true story? You don’t want to hear about true bad things if they are about people you like?


My (current) understanding of the truth:

  * Hunter Biden was (is?) a drug addict
  * Hunter Biden has done stuff to be ashamed of
  * Hunter Biden got a board member seat on Burisma because of who his dad is
  * Content (some percentage) on the laptop in question came from Hunter Biden
I could do this all day long, because I have no partisan loyalty/ideology binding me. I care about corruption regardless of which party is committing it.

Do you want to hear the awful truth about people you like?


I think the politcaly relevant points were:

* Hunter Biden appeared to have sold access to Joe Biden to Chinese officials

And suppressing that story before the election was a form of “election interference”


But he didn't. The point I'm trying to make is the whole point of the story was to insinuate Joe Biden had an active part in this.

Yes, Hunter, his adult son who he doesn't control, was engaged in a corrupt enterprise. There's zero proof Joe was involved but yet you hold on to the story like it matters.

The story is pure election interference, hoping to be a repeat of Buttery Males.

You all are proof that the only thing that matters is that there's a possibility that "the other guy" is corrupt. Yet mountains of evidence that Trump is corrupt have no impact on you.

Hmmmmmmm, so do you really care about corruption or do you just hate the other team?

Trump’s corruption and Biden’s corruption are both relevant to voters.

No evidence of actual corruption by Joe Biden.

Again, if there was he should be prosecuted accordingly. Nobody is above the law, right?


Sure, crimes should be prosecuted. There is enough questionable evidence here that voters should know about, the information should not have been suppressed.


It wasn't suppressed, it just wasn't amplified.

You're demonstrating exactly why: because you don't care about corruption you just hate the other candidate. And that's the only value of the story, is for you to complain about it.

If there was evidence that Biden Sr. was corrupt his supporters would turn on him.


The only part of the story that's true is that Hunter Biden was given money with the expectation that he'd have political influence over his father. There's zero evidence to show that happened.

Turnabout is fair play: are you willing to hear true bad things about the people you like?
