[That our news media have no desire to follow-up the Hunter Biden email revelations of Biden family corruption is a bigger untold story than anything else so far connected with this sordid affair.  And that includes the (non)response of the FBI and the 50 former intelligence officials' successful attempt to disseminate fake news about the provenance of the emails on Hunter's laptop (here).  As far as our lamestream media are concerned, the US is now officially a banana republic in how its citizens are fed 'information' that they are to believe.  And no one, not the Republicans nor Fox News, is making much beyond clucking their tongues at what appears to be a super-scandal stillborn.  gjr]

    The emperor has no clothes or ground game –
    During a panel discussion, Todd juxtaposed how both Biden and President Trump have handled the virus and questioned whether Biden’s lack of in-person events is crippling his candidacy.
    “It’s interesting when you look at both candidates — in some ways, one [is] not taking the virus seriously enough at all and one, if there’s a criticism, [it] might be, is he taking it too seriously, at least when it comes to campaigning?” Todd began.
    He then asked a liberal guest, “Is there any part of you that’s nervous about the light Biden footprint when it comes to campaigning, when it comes to the door-knocking, when it comes to this stuff? It is probably the only hole in the campaign infrastructure, which is obvious why it’s there. It’s due to the pandemic.”

    Now how many times has PROOF been spoon fed you, just to have you spit it out because you didn’t like the taste?

    Paul Emery 6:11 – “Show me proof Scott”
    Hilarious!
    First, Paul – you show all of us ‘proof’ of all of the BS you’ve been spouting for years about Trump being a ‘Putin Cuddler’ and ‘Flipper Flynn’.
    Paul Emery has openly stated many, many, times he will vote for the Dem nominee for POTUS.
    You’re going to have a hard time moving those goal posts now, Paul.
    None of the Bidens have denied that any of the emails, photos and texts from Hunter’s laptop that are being shown on the internet are false. What other proof do you need? If some one was shopping around phony BS claimed to come from my lap top, I’d be screaming denials and threatening to sue every one of them to ruin. And so would you. Biden is ducking any questions and lying repeatedly about this issue.
    Doesn’t matter who wins the election – Paul is supporting the pervs.

    Sad to see the RR’s flipping out because it’s obvious that Biden is holding strong in the polls and will probably win. Probably is probably however. Currently Nate silver gives Biden 98 chances out of a 100 to win with Trump having 11 chances. Hillary ended up with 72 out a 100 as I recall.
    Trump is out of bullets with the massive flop strategy of going after Hunter. Didn’t move a percent in the polls. the fact that Biden has been over 50% in the consensus RCP Polls since Oct 1 is one of many examples.

    Even when they do belatedly start to cover the story, they manage to put in so many weasel words it isn’t funny.
    https://news.yahoo.com/ups-says-found-lost-cache-171022779.html
    “UPS has found the set of documents that Tucker Carlson said had ‘vanished’ in transit,…”
    At the time Carlson stated that, they had, in fact ‘vanished’.
    UPS couldn’t find them, even though they admitted they had the torn open envelope. It looks like UPS can’t explain exactly what happened.
    And isn’t going to.
    “Carlson, who vocally supports President Donald Trump, has previously hyped poorly-sourced claims about documents relating to Biden’s family.”
    Like – the FBI?
    “He amplified the New York Post’s article which also claimed to have accessed emails which were damaging to the Democratic candidate’s son Hunter Biden. However, as Business Insider’s Sonam Sheth has pointed out, the story has many holes and red flags.”
    The ‘story’ by Sonam Sheth they linked to is from Oct 14th and has been shown to be wrong.
    The most BS part of the statement is that the emails (yes, don’t talk about the photos) are damaging to the candidate’s son.
    Oh, I think they’re just a wee bit damaging to the candidate, but Yahoo news loves to lie everywhere it can to protect Biden.

    “Joe seems to think the country is hopeless and in shambles and, according to Joe, cowering in fear is going to be our new normal,” he said. “Coronavirus is spiraling out of control with no end in sight … That is Joe Biden’s final pitch to you, the voters, and, like always, he happens to be dead wrong.”
    Hannity said the “scary, dark picture” the Democratic nominee paints is discredited by rapid economic growth. The long hoped-for V-shaped recovery has now become a reality, he said, with a 33.1% increase in third-quarter GDP reported Thursday.
    “That is the highest quarterly growth ever in American history,” he commented. “Nearly double the previous high.”
    According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis report, personal consumption grew by 40.7% and gross private domestic investment surged 83%. Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped to their lowest level since the pandemic’s beginning.
    Now that the economy seems to be recovering, Hannity reminded viewers that the Democrats and media mob incorrectly predicted and warned of the coming of a major depression back in April and May.
    US ECONOMIC GROWTH SHATTERS RECORD AT 33.1%
    “The left was wrong,” he said. “The president’s pro-growth agenda worked for three years, setting record after record. And now the country’s economy is surging at historic numbers.
    “And keep in mind,” he added, “this V-shaped recovery is coinciding with sharply declining COVID death rates.”
    “This is great news for America and the world,” Hannity concluded. “But not according to Mr. ‘Dark Winter.’”

Yet, I have yet t heard one positive thing come out of Biden’s professional puppet handlers or Sleazy Joey Fingers himself. Everything is dark to the glum lot.

    Just how many pics do you want from Hunter’s laptop starring young Hunter and friends? Some of the friends appear somewhat young. I’d be happy to post links but want to avoid any embarrassment for GeorgeR.
    The main value of this of course is to prove that the leaks are real. It’s probably safe to agree that Joe Biden has an utterly degenerate crackhead son who sells political influence for living. Judging from the email releases, the Bidens have a pretty shitty family life generally.
    The more interesting angle is just how the money makes it to old Creepy Joe. From the emails, it’s clear as day that he is on the take, but a bonafide legal case would track the financial transfers.
