    Laptops aren't real. The myth of laptops were created by Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh in the 1990s to one day discredit the as-of-yet unborn son of Joe Biden whom he would one day name Hunter.

    Let's for discussion's sake pretend that the traditional media is actually left-wing as opposed to corporate based and perfectly willing to pump up any number of Democratic so-called scandals (Whitewater, her e-mails, tan suits, etc) and often soft-pedal actual crimes committed by those on the right.

    Let's for discussion's sake also pretend that there is any relevance to what might be on Hunter Biden's laptop to Joe Biden's potential fitness or lack thereof to be president.

    Why would the right wing media not have actually reported in any substance what was actually on the laptop? Remember when there was that NY Post reporter who refused to take credit for a Hunter Biden laptop story?

    Why would the FBI want to shield Hunter Biden and Joe Biden before Joe Biden was elected president?

    I’ve always been a bit curious about how this laptop story got suppressed since it was megaphoned all over Fox News in the lead up to the 2020 election. Does everyone forget Trump wasted valuable time in the debate talking about it?

    Why do so many far right nuts like @Bill Carson want to see Hunter Biden’s penis?

    I remember Biden saying that there were fifty former national intelligence folks who said it was a Russian plant. That turned out to be not true.

    No rational person should want Trump. It doesn't matter what party one belongs to, or what political ideology one adheres to, Trump is absolutely the last person who should be in power. Period. Paragraph.

    You're saying the right-wing media is part of an establishment that doesn't want Trump?

    Like Fox News and the rest of the Murdock news empire, NewsMax, One America, the right-wing blogosphere, the rank-and-file Republican party officials who have refused to condemn or generally even mildly criticize Trump for his legion of misdeeds and character flaws?

    WF's days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.

    Is it? Because twice, the American people voted to elect someone other than him. He only won once because of a quirk in US law, and given that the majority of US Presidents chosen by the EC have been Trump and W, I'd say that there's a real good argument for doing away with it. Seriously. W got us into at least one bullshit war, and Trump mismanaged all kinds of shit. Neither of them should have ever been President, and wouldn't have been, were it not for the EC, that should tell you something.

    I'm not saying that Al Gore or Hillary would have been great Presidents. There's simply no way of knowing. Odds are, however, that had Gore been President, we wouldn't have invaded Iraq, and that if Hillary had been President, we would have handled the pandemic better. A couple thousand military personnel died in Iraq, and over a million Americans died from COVID. Do you think the death toll of American lives would have been greater under Gore and Hillary? Do the lives of Americans not seem enough reason to do away with the EC?

    How profound.

    But unfortunately, there are only two realistic options in our present system/climate and doubly so under the Electoral College. There's is no realistic chance a third party can field enough support to win a majority of the Electoral College. It's at least conceivable that a candidate who appealed to fiscal conservatives and social liberals could get enough votes nationwide to be in the thick of it for a popular vote win. But some states are just locked up for either Republicans or Democrats in a winner-take-all Electoral Vote system.

    see? here you go again.

    you've presented something from a questionable (on a good day) source and then blame everyone else for not finding it reliable while throwing in a strawman accusation of insurmountable bias because we don't trust the fox to guard the chicken coop.

    Yeah, but fuck people like that though.
    "Fiscal conservatism" fucks over the oppressed people that social liberalism is supposedly out to help.
    All "fiscal conservatism" even is, is program slashing.
    It's like handing out water for disaster relief, but you got the water from the waste pipe of a factory.

    Yeah who is the swamp? Because as far as I can tell it just seems to be some word Trump made up while campaigning

    I mean he had both the house and the senate for half his presidency and still couldn't drain that pesky damn swamp

    Which begs the question, does it even exist?

    It's a combination of the elected an un-elected bureaucrats in DC. The elected senators and representatives over the age of seventy that refuse to retire. They are the gatekeepers to the various committees that are keeping things gridlocked. They take lobby money and make money off of insider trading. The bureaucrats who work in the regulatory agencies who basically do the bidding of the corporations. It's also the corrupt people in the various intelligence agencies.

    Mitch McConnell, Lyndsay Grahm, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, John Brennan, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Steny Hyer. People like that.
