Hunter Biden's laptop and the FBI

Post Reply New Topic

I've said this before, but my feelings about the 2020 election are that it wasn't rigged in the sense of ballot stuffing or hacked voting machines, but the media environment being uniformly and hysterically anti Trump, including the suppression of stories potentially harmful to Joe Biden, during a pandemic when people were confined to their homes and thus more dependent on the media than ever for their knowledge of the world, makes the whole thing smell a bit.

There’s no way to know **for certain** that the election was or wasn’t rigged. There are indicators that it might have been just in observing the collective conduct (hysteria) of the left from the day Trump entered the race in ‘16. That level of total nuttiness can spawn anything. That plus the way the election filled in on election night. To a totally uninterested third party it would have to look suspicious.

What’s that old saying about where there’s smoke there’s fire?

Change my mind.

When people start talking about "Italian satellites" changing the votes compiled on certain voting machines, you know there's a problem......Way beyond Tin Foil Territory.

"There's something really SCREWY going on here."

I actually would think Trump would be unappealing for libertarians.....he wants an overweening government which is not accountable for anything.

How well do you think Ron Paul and Trump would truly get along?

If it was Russian satellites back in 2016, that would be another matter.

There were several examinations and complete vote recounts which all showed nothing more than the usual statistical error and a handful of fraudulent votes so to that standard, the election wasn't rigged.

The late rise in votes for Biden was explained by the way mail-in votes were counted later on and if anything was unusual about this election it was the proportion of mail-in votes - but that was the method Dems promoted, while Reps were out for in-person voting. It turned out that the people who were more likely to use mail-in votes were also those who favored Biden.
I'm more interested in the way rules are being changed to make it more difficult to vote by mail.

But there's the instance of Trump calling Brad Raffensperger to try and get him to fake a vote count, so there's that minor detail (the whole conversation is available on YouTube), never mind all the ridiculous, ham-fisted attempts at demonstrating fraud in court.
Remember the Cyber Ninjas, and all the facts their (cough) audit was supposed to uncover? Yeah, that went really well...

I don't think the interest in Trump was hysteria, more an unrelenting series of "... and you'll never guess what he did/said next!!" stories, many fueled by Trump himself.
It was entertaining and shocking in equal measure for a while, until it gradually dawned that this thin-skinned anomaly is really who he is, that's all there is - it's not a quirk or an amusing eccentricity.

I doubt anyone had seen such a massive blowhard fantasist, living in a world where he's perfect and everyone else either immediately, or inevitably, turned out to be useless (but of course he knew all along); a world where everyone is graded against his unassailable gold standard - so there's a natural fascination in the same way as a car crash.
And I don't think there's much denying that Trump is a car crash.

During a phone call to a Georgia election official, Trump blatantly asked this person to "come up" with a little less than 12,000 votes out of the clear blue sky. This amount of votes just happened to have been the margin by which Biden won Georgia.

He's being investigated for this right now.

Hunter Biden is a chip off the old block. He's just like his father.

The FBI are a bunch of woke Leftists. I don't like them.

Hillary never incited a crowd to riot, or to attempt to prevent an official Electoral Vote count from happening. And she didn't propose oodles of nutty conspiracy theories to "back up" her claim.

The hysteria following Trump's victory was not nearly the magnitude of Trump's present hysteria (to say the least).

The FBI is actually quite a conservative organization. They probably hate "woke" people at least as much as most right-wingers.

All they want...is for there to be a viable United States. They feel Trump is a threat to our country.

Trump doesn't want a viable United States.

(I'm not saying the FBI is perfect, nor that they don't have "skeletons in their closet." But I'd take the FBi over Trump because, at least, they don't want to raze the foundation of our nation).
