The press: Here's what you need to know about the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, with blurred out sex videos, crack cocaine stuff, sex work, implications for the Biden administration, should Biden step down? An impeachment is in the works! How will it affect your children who are probably taking drugs? We'll have two talking heads on to discuss it - one reasonable person and one who is going to scream about Hunter Biden grooming minors to be drag queen gay frogs.
Jordan set one hell of a precedent in refusing to obey a congressional subpoena. Any time his committee issues a subpoena, I hope that is hammered to death in the media and someone asks him why anyone should show up when he himself already refused one with impunity. >

Truly this, but we already know gym will respond that those subpoenas were illegitimate,  as was the J6 committee,  and that the midterms handed Rs a mandate & legitimacy Ds never have >

George Santos certainly proves their legitimacy! >

Between this and Fraud Guarantee and the NRA, a lot of them, I presume. >

The GOP is probably taking a hit with Putin being a bit distracted and having sanctions. >

Which is exactly why for months now the GOP has been trying to demonize giving aid to Ukraine. >

the only questions that need be asked.
'Mr Jordan, can you demonstrate proper chain of custody for this laptop, to show that it was owned by Hunter Biden, and that it was not tampered with'
(the answer is no, he can't)
'A follow up question Sir, if you can not demonstrate chain of custody, they why should anyone care about this laptop?' >

I think trying to logic your way out of this is exactly what the article is suggesting to avoid. Some of these people are logical and pretend not to be. They know what they are saying is in complete bad faith. Making valid arguments to these people is not helpful as you still hear their talking points repeated endlessly. >

This times 1000.  
It’s pointless to engage with someone that argues in bad faith. >

It works if you are able to corner them every single time and exhausting them endlessly actually. That is my way against bad faith Republicans. >

They don’t care.  They know they are lying they simply don’t care.  Why bother? >

I know that they don't care about the legitimacy of their arguments, but they do care if they look like complete baffoons or completely cornered. In my experience, it is about the audience. If I make them look like fools, and have them cornered, all they can do is block me and they end up going for it. That been my experience with them. >

Oh so you’re trying to translate arguing with people online to real life. Give me a fucking break. I’ve argued with plenty of Rs face to face and nothing changes their mind. It doesn’t matter how logical your argument is. The best tactic is to ignore or ridicule. >

Bold Prediction: This piece of shit story isn’t going to work out nearly as well as the GOP thinks for three reasons:


Look at the clown leading the charge. McCarthy thinks this bullshit is going to work because his Benghazi bullshit worked. Well this isn’t 2013 dipshit and Hunter Biden is no where near the polarizing political target Hillary Clinton was…


Donald Trump’s unprecedented legal problems will consume so much media attention, there’s not going to be anything left for Hunter Biden. Try to get people excited about this dumpster fire you’re starting when the ten-story building next to it is burning down.


The Biden Administration is ready for this. You see Joe Biden witnessed firsthand how the utter stupidity of Benghazi actually took a real political toll on Hillary Clinton. He’s going to be ready for Benghazi II. Administration officials have already said as much.


This isn’t going to work. Period. >

Speaking of Benghazi and committees - it was 2015 when the whole Burisma thing went down. The GOP had majorities in both chambers and Joe Biden was the sitting VP. They could have had committee hearings out the wazoo and even moved to impeach Biden if they'd thought he'd done something wrong. They didn't. And now that they were out of power they were screeching about it and have to put up or shut up now that they've retaken the house. The fact that they gave zero shits in 2015 tells me all I need to know. >

Republicans scream for investigations, when they return less than nothing they blame the whole system. When the left does investigations and puts out actual findings that are historical and precedent setting the right still blames the whole system. >

Man…so true. >

They had Fox on one of the tvs at the health club yesterday and the chyrons were saying things like "GOP Planning Biden Investigations", "Biden's Border Crisis", "Hunter's Laptop A Priority". Nothing about how the GOP is going to fight inflation, what the GOP's border plan is, or anything that will really help this country. They are the party of revenge. They have no plan. >

They had no plan in 2010 either. 
Housing crisis? Economic recession? Collapsing industries? 
Nope, their big priority was making Obama a one-term president. >

Their 2020 plan? "Whatever Trump wants." >

And they still won the damn 
House. >


And, because Republicans have no limits to their pettiness, we can expect two years of taxpayer money being used to show off pictures of Hunter Biden's penis

Nailed it.
It's like the entire GOP is jealous of Hunter or something. >

Yea - his dad actually loves him >

God that one really made me seethe. When they played that voicemail and tried to make Biden look bad with it.
As someone who was loved and supported through a horrible addiction struggle I can only say that anyone who tried to imply that my father was somehow weak or emasculated for loving me through my pain would be dead to me forever. >

American conservatism resents empathy.  They try to drain their adherents of it. >

Sociopathic is what it is >

We all need to fight against it too. Don't give the fascists any air >

Stop clicking outrageous headlines.  no clicks no money and we're on to the next thing.  people need to strategize social media and the internet. >

I ll look at whatever proof anybody has for any kind of corruption. but since nothing has come out of this and republicans  for 2 years, couldn't make a case, this seems to be a nothingburger >

They’re alleging Hunter Biden did what we know Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump did. >


They’re alleging Hunter Biden did what we know Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump did.

A more truthful comment has never been posted. Here are the deets:
• How did Jared get $2 Billion in funding for his company from Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman  aka Prince Bone Saw just months after leaving the White House?
• How did Jared get a $1 Billion pre-paid 99 year lease on his disastrous 666 5th ave building from Qatar after Qatar was threatened by Saudi Arabia with invasion, in a real estate deal that's never happened before in history?
•  Why were Jared's family selling condos to the Chinese to trade for Green Cards?   
•  How did Ivanka magically get valuable Chinese trademarks after Trump suddenly scrapped a US technology ban imposed on Chinese telecom firm ZTE who got sanctioned after doing business with North Korea and Iran? 
•  How did Ivanka and Don Jr. avoid being indicted on fraud charges when they gave a $25,000 bribe to the Manhattan DA for their scam on the Trump SoHo condos? 
•  Why was Ivanka vacationing with Wendi Deng, Putin's ex-girlfriend and credibly named as closely connected to Chinese spy agencies?
•  How did Jared and Ivanka unload a $15.8 million Park Avenue penthouse to Angela Chen, who runs a consulting firm with ties to Chinese government officials and Chinese military intelligence, for a price 13 percent more than comparable unit a year earlier, when the building’s other units, on average, were selling for 25 percent less?
•  Where is money Eric Trump was talking about when he said, "We have all the funding we need out of Russia" where EU investigators found evidence of Trump's golf courses laundering Russian mob money?
• Why was Eric stealing money from kids with cancer and stuffing it in Trump's pocket?
•  Where was the $100 in million Russian money coming from when Donald Trump Jr. said “We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia” when EU investigators found evidence of Trump's golf courses laundering Russian mob money?
•  What did Ivanka and Trump promise Erdoğan when he showed up at the grand opening of Trump Towers Istanbul to place his blessing on the project? 
•  Why was Ivanka and Trump doing business with Iran's Revolutionary Guard  - a Terrorist Group - to fund their   Trump Tower in Azerbaijan personally visited and managed by Ivanka?  
•  Why was Don Jr. having a "power breakfast" with the two indicted felons, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman,  the guys Rudy was hooked up with as part of his Ukrainian scam to strong-arm the government into fabricating dirt on Biden? 
So many questions about the kids.... >

It's the same answer for "Why hasn't Trump been indicted yet?" >

They have no guiding principles for legislation.  All they have is the anger of their base.  And that base must be fed daily in order to remain angry.  Sad little republicans. >


Hunter Biden's laptop is not a story

I disagree. It is a hell of a story, and none of it makes any sense. The abandoned laptop left at the legally blind repairman's shop on the wrong side of the country. The machinations of how the laptop ended up in Guliani's hands. 
I don't think you can trust damn thing coming off of it, and I strongly suspect  It fell into the Trump circle through insidious means. 
But even if it the unbelievable story is actually true, It doesn't appear to show any criminal behavior of Joe Biden.
But let it be known, I will never vote for Hunter Biden for elected office. >

Your last comment really resonates with me. Here's my edit:
Let it be known, with everything I know about Hunter Biden, I will never vote for him for elected office. On the other hand, with everything they know about George Santos, they're still seating him in Congress today.
Both parties are not the same. >

Bingo.  It's like when Weiner was caught doing what he did...never heard from him again yet the Republican party of course acted like it was the worst thing ever...yet went on to support people like Roy Moore, Trump, Gaetz, etc >

Weiner got a second chance--he was polling around something like 10% for NYC mayor...and then it came out that he'd still been doing it.
Then his computer was the catalyst for Comey's October surprise in '16... >


Weiner got a second chance--he was polling around something like 10% for NYC mayor.

Weiner was a really good politician and he was a solid progressive populist. His future was golden with a beautiful, successful wife, and great approval numbers in New York. Then his personality malfunction flushed it down the toilet. 
A total waste of a person's life. >

From the article. The "list gives us a general idea of the B.S. that will be pouring out of the House Oversight Committee for the next two years:  Conspiracy theories smearing White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci, who will likely be pulled out of retirement to testify while Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, screams false accusations at him. Faux outrage over Biden ending the expensive, go-nowhere war in Afghanistan, coupled with hypocritical whining over military aid to Ukraine. And, perhaps most troubling, winking encouragement of domestic terrorism by portraying those who were investigated for seditious scheming as victims." >

Rudy had a copy of the laptop before the 2020 election right? The fact that no bombshell got dropped in 2020 means there is no bombshell. >

the original computer repair person who had the laptop, has testified that literally “most of the stuff steve bannon/etc is claiming is on the laptop, wasn’t on the laptop when he (the computer repair person) had it”.
you’d have to ask Steve Bannon, Guo Wengui, Wang Dinggang what they added to the laptop copy.  Hopefully DOJ finds out. >

Spoiler alert: the media takes the bait >

Exactly. They want the traffic and will put up any crazy shit they need to in order to get it. >

its just low hanging click bait.  stop clicking people >

Someone needs to go into depth on why Jordan covered up sexual abuse and also to what extent he had in the  January 6th insurrection. Just hope DOJ starts issuing subpoenas soon to him and his traitorous band of morons >

MSNBC, CNN, and every local newspaper are like "soo, take the bait? Got it! 24/7 breaking Hunter Biden updates!" >

Feed the right wing them Donald Trump's line: "This investigation is so bad it'll go after literal children!"
If Donald's adult children were off-limits, then so are Joe's. >

His children in their forties...
When he was campaigning he said that since terrorists didn't care about their lives, the US should go after their families - their wives and children. His handlers informed him that was a war crime. 
March 7, 2019 US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order ending the mandatory reporting of civilian deaths from US airstrikes outside combat zones.
And taking children from CBP detainees without a paperwork trail then trying to overturn the Flores Act and keep the children indefinitely. >

Hunter Biden has an opportunity to completely control the Republican party. >

Dominate them like McCarthy's mom >

The media already dropped the ball with the “Republicans are better with inflation” narrative they promoted during the Midterms. >

I’m really not looking forward to the media’s breathless credulity on every made up scandal for the next two years >

Ironically, this is taking the bait. >

Requires them to have a Speaker first...
Good luck with that, apparently. 
Tells you what kind of gong show any investigation of Biden is going to be like when this is the first time in 100 years a Speaker has failed the first vote (1923 needed 9 rounds of voting and a heck of a pile of begging to get consensus) >

The FBI has been in possession of Hunter biden's alleged laptop for years. This is never been an actual story. >

And Rudi had it before that. The whole caucus probably carries around a pen drive loaded with the ISO image to wave about by now. >

That's fine.  It keeps them busy and from doing real harm elsewhere. >

They will continue doing harm elsewhere while hiding behind this media smokescreen. >

Harm is about the only thing they do anymore. 
What's the alternative? Introduce bills that actually help anyone besides themselves and their donors? They're not going to do that unless there's a big loophole in it for them to exploit. >

Here’s the secret. The media doesn’t care about truth only ratings.  They report on what will give them ratings, not what informs viewers. 
Saying the media has a liberal bias is the biggest conservative con of all time.  The news organizations are owned by billionaires that pay millionaires to present the “news”.  
Billionaires are not fans of liberal policies.  Do the math. >

It is a story, it seems like he may have been involved in some shady ass shit
But it's not a President Biden story unless Biden is somehow involved in whatever impropriety Hunter was involved in, and it doesn't seem that he was.....if there was ANY real evidence of that it would have been everywhere by now.
The thing is that the vast vast vast majority of Democrats are perfectly fine with Hunter facing whatever consequences come his way if he did something wrong, and next down the line, are also ok with President Biden being held accountable if HE did something wrong....it just doesn't seem (so far) that he did anything wrong....he seems to me to be a decent father that was trying to get his kid help with a drug problem, that kind of threw his hands up at a point and said "wtf am I gonna do....this whacked out kid is off the rails and I can't do anything to get him back on them".....Which is where 99.9999% of people who have a kid or friend or loved one struggling with addiction end up.
I dont really care that his kid was trading off his father's position to do shady shit or get ahead....people do that...shit, people have done that with me and I'm a nobody...I dont really care that this guys kid was off the rails with a drug problem, I don't care what this kid did- lock him up then, idgaf.....But what does any of that have to do with President Biden? If the answer to that is nothing then I'm uninterested in the Hunter story beyond the spectacle of it and I'm not that interested in that either because I don't see the point in kicking people when they're down because they're struggling with addiction, and I DEFINITELY don't hold the people around them that love them and were trying to help them responsible for their actions.
Its just more hypocrisy from the GOP. I am far more interested in what money was flowing in and out of Trumps foreign bank accounts and the timelines of the money flows superimposed  over what he was doing politically, and how the fuck and why so many people surrounding Trump were getting BILLIONS of dollars in foreign investments handed to them when it makes absolutely 0 sense from an investment management standpoint. >

Pre 2016. I didn't agree with conservatives but I somewhat respected them.
Thats long gone.
They stand for nothing.
No policies. No plans.  Their picks are d- list celebrities and con men.  Their loudest members are morons.
As far as I'm concerned, they have cried wolf too many times and I don't care about what they say at all. >

The same people did not care about Jared Kushner having like a record number of red flags on his security clearance forms and messaging MBS aka Mr Bonesae on WhatsApp. Typical of them. They don't know how to react when you tell them you don't really care about Hunter Biden and if he was guilty of anything should be charged but don't get why there's a hearing for this and not Jared Kushner. Or that they think it's overreach looking into Trump's stuff because he was a citizen but bring up that hunter Biden isn't an elected official
Just there way to scare constituents and distract them from noticing they are getting shit on >

Where is Mark Meadow's laptop? >

When I see the face of Jordan, it reminds me that he has done NOTHING for his constituents.... at all.  His goal in life is to remain in a paid position of authority... only to sell his soul to a party. >


The media must not take the bait

Narrator: They did. >

The GOP has gone completely insane. The level of their belief in their own lies that they know are lies is being starkly displayed by the speeches for Speaker of the House happening now.
I am stupefied that Elise Stefanik hasn't spontaneously combusted from the level of blatant lies she is spewing.
The media is covering every second of this circus which gives me no hope that it will be any different when it comes to the GOP's "investigations". Politics has become entertainment. >

Why does Jim Jordan always look like he smells like old cigarettes and cat piss? >

Of course they do, they reject reality. It’s like they’re allergic to the fucking truth >

Perhaps if every time Jordan tries to bring up a new “outrage” the media could re-examine his role in the sexual abuse scandal he wishes would go away. >

The party of “leave trump’s kids out of this” are sure hell bent on not leaving others kids out of it. And at least he’s not involved in the administration unlike the trump kids that the GOP didn’t give a shit about.
In summary stfu GOP no cares about what nonsense you find >

We're gonna form a conga-line while singing:
🎶Hunter Biden's Dick Pics! Hunter Biden's Dick Pics!...🎶 >

Serious question. Why is it not a story? >

This seems like some kind of preemptive denial. Setting the stage to claim any and all evidence as a lie before it's even revealed. >

The fact they're wasting OUR taxes on this sh*t kills me. We could have medicare for all but nope.... Her emails and his laptop >

They ain't about to do shit since they're currently getting outvoted by Hakeem Jeffries
Marj is having a moment >

If we had a true Democracy, Jeffries would be Speaker of the House. >

If they wanted to conduct legitimate investigations and turn up nothing, I'd say let them.
My concern is that the corruption rotting deep through the party will result in falsified findings in yet another attempted coup through false prosecution of democratic leaders. >

Even if this laptop actually exists, there is literally zero way to trust/verify anything on it. This alledge laptop would fail even the most liberal chain of evidence standard. >

I'd say there's about a 60% chance Republicans will impeach Biden for no purpose other than retaliation.
I kind of hope they devote all their efforts to smearing Biden and then the Democrats go with a different candidate next election. We saw what effect decades of smears against Hillary Clinton had. Even foreign countries were getting involved they were so sure they'd be the candidate. >

Stating the obvious, todays GOP is an embarrassment, barring a small few, the principled GOP conservative is extinct >

I want the media to fully investigate Jim Jordan’s role in the sexual abuse that took place at OSU during his tenure in charge >

GOP can’t do diddly squat without a Speaker. Watching the obstructionists rip apart their own party is a beautiful sight to behold, indeed. >

republicans = dick pics >

The current Republican platform: Hunter Biden's dick. >

The right win the culture war by repeating the same lies over and over. The left lose it by failing to repeat the truth over and over. 

Trump tried to stage a coup
That’s objectively a fact
He should be in prison for treason 

Anything else is irrelevant now. >

Have said this before.
Hunter Biden should not be allowed to hold political office if any of this is true.
Good thing he doesnt. >

He should also be removed from any advisory role he has in his father's administration, and have his security clearance revoked!
Oh wait, he's never had either of those things. >

Furthermore that's just politics. It's nepotism and favors all the way up. The GOP is pretending to lift up the curtain to deflect attention from the Trump family's unprecedented looting frenzy. It's very much like putting out a small trash fire while a skyscraper burns down next to it. They're not concerned with any semblance of parity or proportion, they're concerned with messaging. The GOP play is to muddy the waters and establish a false equivalency by depriving language of its power. They do this by repeating lies. They do it in lock step and they have become exceedingly efficient at it. It works. >

Being republican in this day and age is a sign of mental illness and lack of ethics. They aren’t even a real political party anymore. >

“Everyone who disagrees with my world view is mentally ill.”
Do you realise how mentally ill you sound? >

That's not what they said though.  When you have to lie to attempt to make your point, your point must be shit, isn't it? >

My response to this is we didn’t elect Hunter Biden.  Hunter Biden is Joe Biden‘s kid. Joe Biden loves his son. The kid is a mess. Joe Biden is firmly aware of this, it makes a nice distinction between His Role as a father and his role as an elected official. I admire him for this. >

Hunter biden's laptop IS a story, it just isn't the story the Rs want it to be.  It's a story of a person's efforts to use their father's position for their own profit without any apparent involvement of their father...and of how drugs influenced that person's efforts.
The crazy thing is that IF it were the story they want it to be, it would be all the more reason that Trump should have been impeached, removed, and prosecuted.  The Rs claim Biden knew and profited.  The Rs version is the drug addled Son was an agent of the Father.  Sound familiar? >

The press will bark like dogs for obviously worthless investigations then proceed to write 20 million Op-Eds opining the loss of confidence in media. 
Never once does the thought they’re the problem enter their minds. Amazing.
Guys, remember Benghazi? Remember how important that was? They had at least 5 investigations on the shit, and I still know maybe 30% of the details. Some hired mercs died and I’m supposed to care or something? Jesus, they made a movie about it with Jim from the office and still no one cares. >

10 total investigations into Benghazi.  None found anything criminal.  The last investigation ended a month after the 2016 elections. 
I wonder why?/s >

Just take a look at how reddit is blaming dems for Santos getting elected.
The GOP's "both sides strategy" will work in this case the same way it does in all the other cases. >

the media WILL ABSOLUTELY 100% take the bait. And NYT will write an op-Ed on how democrats are responsible for Jim Jordan’s actions.
On another note, those illiterate assholes in Ohio who voted for this guy should be ashamed. >

There us nothing on Hunter's laptop besides Trump's pee tapes, volumes 1-4. >

and has nothing to do with President Biden for heaven's sake >

Who cares? You're publishing a story that it's not a story. Last I knew, hunter biden wasn't running for office, or working for government. They should investigate the trump children, perhaps? >

Someone please explain to me what they think is on this laptop bc no conservative has ever really been able to answer that for me. >

They want to see more Hunter dick pics >

They will run whichever story sells the most ads. Business always first. >

Well the laptop IS a story. It's just not the story the GOP wishes it was so they must hype it up anyway they can. >

Spoiler alert: media will take the bait. >

solve the problem  of extremist  and  embarrassing GOP  by electing a normal  GOP House Leader speaker!!  Simple as that.   Dont elect  Mccarthy else you get Margorie tayor and trump as leader..... >

Jordan , is a criminal he should be locked up with Trump……….. >

Doesn't matter what they do or don't do anyway because it's guaranteed Fox News and OAN will be going hog wild regardless of reality and that's all the conservative idiots care about. >

Waste of money. But will be entertaining how far down this rabbit hole they get before they realize there isn't anything there but a troubled son or at worse a son that needs to go jail because he did something illegal. Either way its mostly irrelevant many of our own lives. >

But I feel like a purportedly legitimate party controlling a branch of the US government, and using this power for what's obviously a bullshit narrative IS a story.
Liars are gonna lie, and sadly that's interesting. >

The media will absolutely take the bait and amplify the GQP's lies and ensure everyone hears those lies.  The media only cares about money, and all the crazy shit the GQP says generates clicks. >

Ask them about Jared. They don’t even know he worked in the White House but are worried about Hunter. Total hypocrisy. >

The GOP doesn't know how to lead, they only know how to hinder. >

The GQP is the laughing stock of the world.  Seriously, how lower can they sink? >

Too bad it will be a total waste of time. I LOVE that for them. >

The story of Hunter Biden’s laptop is that if there is a story, run the story. If there was something illegal, make sure Hunter deals with those consequences. If not, move on. Stop making it into the only talking point the Republican, Fox and Fiends, Talking Head followers have. 
“Yeah, we may have liars, thieves, and pedophiles in our party, in our offices, and attending our events, but THEY have a laptop!”
Gimme a break… >

Is Hunter Biden the president? >

Hunter Biden's Laptop? The real story is what's on Eric Trump's Speak&Spell! >

Aw, but I had a cake and a laptop shaped pinata picked out for the new national holiday! >

Wtf did I just read. That headline is something else >

When someone has something to hide they will try to manipulate those they care about (in this case, support). If there was nothing to hide, why would it matter if it’s covered? Just as the Trump stuff, don’t hide anything and he should be held accountable for anything he did hide. This principle should be held by everyone, for everyone. >

Russian propaganda.  Utter bullshit. >

Let Republicans make fools of themselves with phony investigations. Speaking up validates what they’re saying. Just ignore them. >

Until the Republican propaganda media bubble gets popped, they will always have an easy time pushing their narrative. 
Even the local news stations push the Republican propaganda if they’re owned by Fox or Sinclair Broadcasting. >

Just look at these Republican clowns wasting American taxpayer money. They’re all just standing around trying to elect a speaker of the house which is gonna go on for days likely wasting even more money and then they’re going to get into their retaliation investigations. GQP >

Jordan is straight from the bowels of Satan..and so are many other Republicans.. they are going to waste time and our money on baseless bullshit...their just mad bc they got caught along with that orange idiot. >

“What is more important that Hunter Biden’s penis?”
Republicans 2023. >

Repuvlicans want the whole nation to see Hunter Bidens dick 🤔and they won't rest untill everyone has seen dick pics >

Democrats need to literally turn their backs on the GOP-controlled House. They should boycott committees, ignore subpoenas, and uniformly vote against anything the GOP proposeS. Let Biden administer Infrastructure and budget investments, Senate should be laser focused on filling judiciary and let House descend into useless chaos. >

Something wicked this way comes >

Spoiler alert: The media will take the bait, and not once will it bother to point out that the GQP is just making shit up to fling at Biden. >

Author of this story is a moron. The media doesn’t take bait. They take whatever makes money. On purpose. >

You know what is a story though?
Motherfuckin Jim Jordan enabling a sex offender. 
That’s a story that we need to know more about. >

This title is so wild… Literally telling people who and what to believe or not.  How about you let each make up their own mind? >

The press need to start asking Lauren Boebert why her husband isn't allowed within 300 feet of a school. >

I wish the media would focus less on politicians and talk more about the actual problems facing everyone, and instead of blaming one side or another for them, point out how things could be improved. >

"Should the Committee issue similar or other requests in the 118th Congress, we will review and respond to them in good faith, consistent with the needs and obligations of both branches," he wrote. "We expect the new Congress will undertake its oversight responsibilities in the same spirit of good faith."
Lmao, best line in the whole article.  
Also: "lawmakers requested documents related to probes into the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan"
Dear god why?  Biden finished the plan Trump laid out, so if anything, they gotta blame themselves, but we all know how impossible that it. >

So, they’re going to go on a wild goose chase, searching high and low for evidence to validate conspiracy theories instead of actively working on legislation to help their constituents (or more likely, HURT their constituents at the behest of the people lining their pockets) just to come up empty when the senate flips in 2024?
That’s fine. >

With all of the aweome power of Fox News investigative journalism I have made it my mission to never EVER vote for Hunter Bidens laptop in any election that it may run. >

Perfect. Let Biden take all of the aggro, and then run someone younger in 2024 while the GOP is fixated on Hunter. >

They literally said this is what they're gonna do. They won't work to fix any actual problems, they're gonna circle jerk over Hunter's laptop for the next 2 years then blame Democrats for not accomplishing anything in 2024. >

only if they can agree on a speaker first, lol >

All this is going to do is pop the voters who they already had on lock, this is not going to win them any new voters nor will it help them with the youth vote. So by all means go proceed. >

So... If I never voted for Hunter Biden, and expected to never vote for Hunter Biden, this isn't going to win me over to the Hunter camp? >

Besties I need help. Imagine u were kidnapped by Jigsaw and the only way out of the SAW trap is to convince a MAGA that the hunter Biden laptop thing did not single handedly cause the war in Ukraine. 
My boyfriend genuinely believes the hunter Biden laptop thing is the sole reason the war in Ukraine is happening and I can’t even talk about the war at all with him or anything even remotely related to politics without it turning into a giant argument. I love him but I literally can’t express my political opinions without it turning into a giant fight. When we first started dating he said he was a moderate and didn’t really care about politics. Over the past 2 years he’s shifted more and more right wing and I feel like there’s nothing I can say to him. This reads like an /relationships post lmaooooo. Please don’t say “break up” >


Please don’t say “break up”

Sorry but, 
Believes the laptop is why there’s war in Ukraine is at least a Salmon colored flag.
Can’t talk to him about it is kind of…Amber
Can’t express my opinions…red, red, red. >

“The GOP is about to go wild with phony Biden investigations” How else, are they going to get paid, that’s the only thing they can do, their useless otherwise. >

None of it is "succeeding" with this voter.  The more they double down on stupid the further I go to the left.  If they ever want to win my vote they should offer something besides tax breaks for the mega rich and awfulness for the rest of us.  It's like, they think we are idiots or something.  The grift is obvious. >

all his laptop exposes is his pathetic crackhead hooker benders in dirty motel rooms >

Personally, I don’t care what Hunter’s done unless Joe appoints him as chief negotiator in the Mideast or he takes any role whatsoever in the White House. >

You can manufacture lies but not the truth. Just ash John Durham. Guess that big expensive and fruitless investigation that was supposed to blow the socks off went and fizzled out like all the others. They are going to have the same issues with a Hunter investigation. In the end you can tell a crook simply by knowing the GOP have zero ethics and is just a huge circus. >

Narrator: The media took the bait. >

They can't even elect a Speaker - I'm not afraid of what plans they think they have. >

These Karens can't even elect a speaker but we're supposed to take them seriously over political hit jobs?  Fuck right the hell off. >

Republicans aren’t able to do shit and I’m 😂🍿 >

Because of how extreme the right has become the media's both sides impulse helps the right and hurts discourse itself.  This 40 year immunologist says xyz meanwhile congressman Bart fudge from Kentucky Mississippi thinks it's all a farce hmm 🤔. >

Can someone give me some details of what the fuck this laptop shit is about. I've ignored this story for some time now but everytime I go back home/parents house I get asked about it. 
Off the top, I think it's bullshit but I normally tend to do some investigating to be sure. This story however has had the MAGA Q wash over time and finding good cites and sources is tricky. Logical discussion points on reddit are helpful as long as they don't swing to far in either direction. >

Not if they can’t fumble their way out of voting for a leader >

Lol .... the belief that that Republicans just magically ask the media to publish and promote their stupid stories. 
Media and marketing is managed and manipulated by wealthy corporations who want to direct the national story because they own all the media outlets. The wealthy decide what stories are going to be pushed and promoted, not the media and definitely not the common people. >

I read an opinion piece the other day about Elon Musk's Twitter files and how there's two sides...
Republicans (and Libertarians): "SEE?! SEE?! WE GOT THOSE LIBS NOW!!" - this including Hunter's laptop - "EVIL MEDIA SUPPRESSION OF LAPTOP STORY! LEFT WING MEDIA NOT TRUSTWORTHY CUZ EVIDENCE!!"
Everyone else: "This old news and we all know there was nothing on Hunter's laptop 😐" >

Republicans Really want people to see Hunter’s dong. They are just having a hard time figuring out why it’s politically relevant >

Exactly, for a party that really hates gays, they are just jonesing to do a bunch of meat gazing. They just want to see Hunter’s huge cock. >

Wonder what this old guy has been up to, cowardice useless old man. >

Congress is like a bunch of kids investigating each other.   Go get the peoples work done. >

A better use of the investigative power would be to find out how many molestations Jim Jordan ignored and covered up at Ohio State University while he was a coach? >

Really Republican Party, Hunter is not running for any office, and you, going after candidates' kids, is as low as anyone can go. Republican Party, spend that time doing something useful for the American people. The Republican Party is not making America great; it is flailing and looking childish. >

The media will take the bait because the media is a business first and foremost and clicks generate revenue. >

I wish the GOP would dedicate half the energy from smear campaigns to solving actual issues.  It might help them win some voters back. Right now, they are the socially awkward asshole who can't read the room. Their voting base is largely dying out due to age and they are taking every step possible to alienate incoming voters. Gen Z doesn't care about Hunter Biden's laptop. I, as a millennial, personally do not care about his laptop unless he is running for office.  Figuring out Hunter Biden's laptop isn't going to do anything for this country except waste money and time. Nobody will be talking about it in ten years and it'll be some Easter egg blip on a wikipedia page, but here we are, dedicating time, energy and money into finding out that he was paying women for sex. Big whoop. This "talking shit" political angle is so out-of-date with the way voters are nowadays. People want to hear what you will do for them; we don't care about the gossip and smears towards the other side. >

I think the Dems should go along with these investigations. Explain they have a respect for subpoena and the rule of law, and then show the GOP the GOP has nothing but empty bullshit. >

The issue with this strategy is that the GOP too knows they have nothing, they're just looking for a repeat of the effects the Benghazi and email server investigations had on Hillary so they can similarly weaken Biden. The GOP investigations of Hunter's laptop and other stuff will be nothingburgers in the end, but the net effect will be the average American voter in November 2024 being like "well I heard a lot in the media about Biden being involved in corrupt deals with his son Hunter, so I'm not sure I can vote for him" >

Yep this is their MO.
Benghazi inquiry ends about emails on a private server.
Whitewater investigation into the Clintons ends up with Bill lying under oath about a blowjob. >

And none of them leading to any actual criminal activity or charges like the GOP initially claimed. >


Hunter Biden's laptop is not a story

Technically it is a story - a made up story that Guo Wengui, Wang Dinggang, and Steve Bannon created blurry pictures for LOL >

I disagree.  Hunter Biden's laptop is a story.  Whether its because it was planted, or because it was tampered with, or whether it actually has something shady on it, pretending it is not a story is going to be an issue.  The best way to deal with this is complete and total transparency. >

Woah with the reason >

Lol the media is bought and paid for by the very people fucking us.
