This afternoon the FBI and DoJ stated their concurrence with DNI Ratcliffe’s revelation (here) that the Hunter Biden laptop email scandal had nothing to do with or was any part of Russia’s disinformation campaign to undermine confidence in our November election.  The laptop emails are real.  Claiming otherwise over the last week has been a prime example of the Democrats’ Big Lie campaign, which here will be corroborated by our leftwing readers practicing their SNEP (Socialist Narrative Exclusion Principle) responses.

[21oct20 update]  Continuing proof that most (not all) liberals are functional idiots.  To this day, these mental midgets do not understand that fascists are collectivists of the autocratic cum tyrannical variety, who work for a leviathan government that directly controls most of its industry, imposes stacks of regulations, is anti-religion, collects enormous taxes, suppresses individual liberties, and maintains a large internal police apparatus to enforce the whole thing.  This is exactly the opposite of the kind of governance that rightwing conservatives desire.  In today’s 21oct20 Union we have an example of one of these midgets, a Mr Robert Lobell, who labors mightily to present ‘building evidence’ that President Trump is a fascist (here), and instead presents evidence that he doesn’t have a clue about what is going on in Washington, among other places.  But he does describe precisely the major tenets of the now likely Harris/Biden disaster.

The Hunter Biden email scandal is mounting with the FBI’s “nothing to add to Ratcliffe’s statement”, more email recipients confirming veracity of the collection, confirmation of the laptop’s chain of custody, Secret Service matching travel logs, documented ‘pay for play’ shares, … .  With all this coming out, Bumblebrain has now stated that there is “no basis” for the claim that his son profited from trading influence with foreign governments.  And to keep things as quiet as possible, the overwhelming share of America’s news industry, affectionately known as the lamestream media, does not even make a peep about what is clearly the greatest corruption high-level corruption scandal in modern US history.  SNEP on steroids.  (more  here, here, here, and here)

They really don’t know squat.  We just got back from a political luncheon meeting where part of the conversation revolved around the dissemination of the Hunter Biden emails.  And a common experience of some of the assembled was that their liberal friends literally knew nothing of what’s going on with Hunter’s laptop and the emails on it.  One couple has a son who works on the staff of a Democrat state office holder.  They asked his thoughts on the matter, and he drew a complete blank.  We are now effectively subjected to a Deep State controlled news and entertainment media enterprise comprised of what can best be described as the vast Progeny of Pravda.  When political workers of one side are so insular in their knowledge of national happenings, then control of the electorate for all intents and purposes is complete.  The rest of us are really just pissing into the wind.

[22oct20 update] The real Russian colluders have turned out to be the Democrats; we’ve been aware of this for at least two years.  Hillary’s misdeeds are known and await indictment.  The newest pals of all things Russian and Chinese are members of the Biden cosa nostra, and it turns out there are plenty of them.  More evidence of how that group of grifters operated for years is now turning up daily.  Given the upcoming election, the stimulus bill negotiations, and other divers things to attend to, the Dems are having a hard time fitting in all the denials and accusations of a vast Republican “smear campaign”.  Typical of the daily fare now is this piece just out – ‘New Documents Shed Light On Hunter Biden’s Links To Russian Billionaire Oligarch’.  The difference between the Democrats’ “evidence” and evidence of the misdeeds of the Clinton Clan and the Biden Bunch is that the latter is specific and verifiable.  All that’s now required is the growth of some political balls to get it all in front of a grand jury.

    I’d treat D ‘n Paul with a lot more respect if they just admitted the following thing: that they don’t care how much of a perv or how corrupt Joe Biden is because they think that Trump is a singularly evil person, right up there with Hitler.
    There’s no point in arguing with someone who magically thinks that the Bidens are clean living people. It’s like arguing with a schizophrenic vagrant.

    Turns out Hunter Biden absolutely should have been investigated, Joe Biden was in on the fix, and the corruption of their family is mountainous”

    “The mainstream media is engaging in an institutional mass self-immolation to protect Biden that is hard to fathom until you recognize they view a Trump victory as an existential threat to their professional and emotional well being

    This is going to get much uglier, folks”

    From “this is blocked on social media” to “it’s Russian disinformation” to “ok yeah it’s all true but in our editorial judgment its not really a story” in just over a week

    “The US economy shrank by an annualized 31.4 percent in the second quarter of 2020, slightly lower than a 31.7 percent plunge in the second estimate and a 32.9 percent fall in the advance one. It reflects mainly an upward revision to personal consumption expenditures (PCE) that was partly offset by downward revisions to exports and to nonresidential fixed investment. Still, it remains the biggest contraction ever, pushing the economy into a recession as the coronavirus pandemic forced many businesses including restaurants, cafes, stores and factories to close and people to stay at home, hurting consumer and business spending. The Federal Reserve sees the US economy shrinking by 3.7 percent in 2020, lower than an initial estimate of a 6.5 percent drop. Still, the outlook for 2021 remains uncertain as the coronavirus pandemic is far from controlled and a vaccine is not ready yet.”

    The Plot Against Trump provides an in-depth look at the Russiagate hoax and how Democrats and the mainstream media conspired to undermine the peaceful transition of power following the 2016 election. The documentary, which is based on Lee Smith’s bestseller of the same name, focuses in large part on Rep. Devin Nunes’ (R-CA) efforts to expose efforts to take down President Donald Trump.

    “The newest pals of all things Russian and Chinese are members of the Biden cosa nostra, and it turns out there are plenty of them.”
    The main take-away lesson is that none of this would have come out except for the opposition research by a non-swamp candidate. In a world of back door connections and slavish media, it isn’t like a Romney or McCain (The Maverick!!! lol.) would have dug through Biden’s adventures in graft.
    I see that Mr. Kunstler is on the case, it being Friday and all.
    ““The difference between you and me,” Mr. Trump said to the ever more ghostly Joe Biden, fading mentally late in the action on the debate stage, “is that I’m not a politician and you are, and you’re a crooked politician.” Millions watching this spectacle might not have noticed, due to the media’s near-complete blackout of news detailing the Biden family’s adventures in systematic global moneygrubbing, but the Democratic candidate for president has political Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever of credibility, now gushing out of every pore and orifice.
    Twitter and Facebook may try to squelch the story, but the evidence is all over the Internet now, like blood on a crime scene, in verifiable emails, texts, Snapchats, memoranda, and bank records that Ol’ White Joe Biden is at the center of a decades-long influence-peddling spree, selling his personal services to China, Russia, Ukraine, and any other country seeking favors in US government policy, and that this slime-trail of grift disqualifies him from holding high office as much as the irreversible rot of his cognitive abilities. ….”

    Even a Biden voter has to admit that the man is the antonym of a leader. Perhaps that’s all they’re after, a befuddled dad who looks the other way while they storm around beating up the neighbor kids, invent rules for others from their secret clubhouse, and shoplift at Walgreen’s.

    I just assume a certain amount of larceny in the system, the problem is that as the scope of government grows (and it ain’t just .gov spending), the opportunities for bad deeds goes up. As it’s largely an urban phenomenon, modern Democrats, who have shucked off the working class, will tend to be in charge of the Department of Crime. I’d say it’s more a matter of opportunity than morals.

    Trump trounced Biden in the debate last night. You may say hey! You are a partisan so your opinion is too biased for a decent assessment. Maybe it is but I still have a good feel for these things as I debated many times people on the opposite side. Trump was aggressive and his facts were fine. Biden lied most of the time and his facts were bogus. The most egregious fact was his denial he ever said “no fracking”. Of course, we have all seen the tapes where he says just that. And now Trump has posted those videos on his site. But Biden seemed to have trouble with his delivery at times and like all old-time swamp-dwelling politicians he did the obfuc=scated reply when he was not sure of himself. The worst time was his attempted diversion from the China questions to his “kitchen table and bald tires screed”. Trump pointed out that was the same old political trick to divert attention from the corruption of the Biden family with China. The moderator talked over Trump 24 times and only twice on Biden. I am sure we all noticed that. But overall she did a lot better than that fool Chris Wallace..
