Not a single question about the emails found on Hunter Biden's computer?
 |
| Media is now just blatantly corrupt and doesn't care who knows it |
Make no mistake. Biden will come up with an excuse to cancel the last debate, he will continue to close up his campaign every day before noon, and he will only answer predetermined and preapproved questions from the media. The media will continue to lick his boots because they want desperately to see the bad orange man lose.
There is no more reasonable excuse for the main stream media's blatant disregard for any amount of curiosity about the former Vice President. Even if the emails captured from Hunter Biden's computers were not the exact sort of smoking gun that the FBI, CIA, and Mueller team never found on Trump, they at least warrant a couple of questions.
This is Orwellian behavior by a lock step Democratic state controlled media.

Want to take a bet on Biden not engaging in the next debate? By that time the FBI may have established that the files on the miraculously discovered computer were Russian generated.
The Russians taped him smoking crack and getting a hummer
Biden could barely make it through the softball 2 hour town hall, which came with like 16 breaks. By hour two, he was having issues making sense.
We'll see if he debates again, Reverend.
If I was his handler, I would lock him away for the next 17 days. Not let anyone see him. Right now, they are locking him down nearly every morning by 10:00 or 11:00 - he hasn't made it to an afternoon, unless there is something prescheduled.
Hunter Biden is a gold mine for "papa" Joe.
LOL
Biden came across as a decent, caring person with an extensive wealth of knowledge.
After the debate ended, he stayed behind for a LONG time answering further questions from the audience, showing them the same respect and concern he had shown others. He came across as deeply caring, frequently saying, "I hope I answered your question."
Yes, sometimes he let himself get bogged down in the minutiae of all he knows, and failed to give as simple and direct a question as he should have. But to say that he is not knowledgeable is nonsense.
Biden's town hall can be summarized in one word: DECENCY.
Trump's can also be summarized in one word: TRUMP.
The best thing Trump's handlers could do for him would be pull him out of the upcoming debate. The more he talks, the more he loses. :-)
More Exposure Not Helping Trump

Frank Luntz had a focus group watch the dueling town hall events last night and concluded: “My group of undecided voters say that the more Trump speaks, the worse he looks.”

The New York Times editorial board pulls no punches in making its case:
“Donald Trump’s re-election campaign poses the greatest threat to American democracy since World War II.
“Mr. Trump’s ruinous tenure already has gravely damaged the United States at home and around the world.
"He has abused the power of his office and denied the legitimacy of his political opponents, shattering the norms that have bound the nation together for generations.
"He has subsumed the public interest to the profitability of his business and political interests.
""He has shown a breathtaking disregard for the lives and liberties of Americans.
"He is a man unworthy of the office he holds.”
Savannah Guthrie what a hack.
More than a half hour after the ABC broadcast of Joe Biden's Townhall was over he was still there in the studio with a mask on answering people's questions.
More than 120 minutes since Joe Biden’s town hall started and he is still answering questions from voters.
That’s presidential. 🇺🇸

Feds examining whether alleged Hunter Biden emails are linked to a foreign intel operation.
WASHINGTON — Federal investigators are examining whether the emails allegedly describing activities by Joe Biden and his son Hunter and found on a laptop at a Delaware repair shop are linked to a foreign intelligence operation, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The FBI seized the laptop and a hard drive through a grand jury subpoena. The subpoena was later published by the New York Post. The bureau has declined to comment.
The Post, a conservative tabloid, has published a series of stories based on emails the newspaper said it obtained from President Donald Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani. The first story highlighted what it called a “smoking gun email” that suggested a meeting between Vice President Biden and a representative of a Ukrainian company that once paid Hunter Biden. The Biden campaign says there is no evidence the meeting happened, and the story was greeted with widespread skepticism.
George Mesires, attorney for Hunter Biden, said in a statement, “We have no idea where this came from, and certainly cannot credit anything that Rudy Giuliani provided to the New York Post, but what I do know for certain is that this purported meeting never happened.”
It's very possible that a foriegn agency planted the laptop.

Roger, Joe Biden did meet with The People Biden Hunter wanted "papa" to meet.
Scott, it looks like an attempt by a foriegn nation to effect the outcome of the election.
“Before turning over the gear, the shop owner says, he made a copy of the hard drive and later gave it to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello,” the Post said. “Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Trump, told The Post about the existence of the hard drive in late September and Giuliani provided The Post with a copy of it on Sunday.”
It remains unclear whether the emails cited by the Post are authentic or have been doctored.
Giuliani, who acknowledged helping bring the material to light, has in the past sought to unearth information damaging to Biden with the help of a man identified by the U.S. government as a Russian intelligence officer.

A foriegn agency may have planted the laptop in the mechanical repair shop!
Why would Biden actually leave his laptop in the car?????????
Roger, Hunter Biden took his computer to a Tech Store to be repaired.
"John Paul Mac Isaac,The Wilmington shop owner said he contacted the FBI out of concern, but declined to specify what he meant."
The FBI had the Hunter/Joe info in April of 2019.

The Trump administration has rejected California's request for disaster relief funds aimed at cleaning up the damage from six recent fires across the state, including Los Angeles County’s Bobcat fire, San Bernardino County’s El Dorado fire, and the Creek fire, one of the largest that continues to burn in Fresno and Madera counties.
After a fire burned more than 2.2 million acres of land in the parched state of Texas, President Obama has denied the state’s request of a federal disaster declaration, forcing leading politicians to issue strong statements over the US leader’s decisi

Budget Deficit Surpassed $3.1 Trillion

The U.S. budget deficit eclipsed $3.1 trillion in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, by far the biggest one-year gap in U.S. history, the Washington Post reports.
The data are a stark reflection of the staggering blow that the coronavirus pandemic has dealt to the U.S. economy.
More Watched Biden Than Trump, Including Cable
2:00 pm
“Joe Biden’s town hall on ABC averaged 13.9 million viewers on Thursday night, easily surpassing the Nielsen ratings for President Trump’s town hall on NBC. That alone was a result virtually no one in the TV business expected. And that’s not even the most surprising part,” CNN reports.
“The Trump town hall was simulcast by two of NBC’s cable channels, MSNBC and CNBC, but even when those channels are included in the total, Biden — on only one network — still prevailed.”
Printing Company Late Sending Out Mail Ballots
3:30 pm
A Cleveland company that agreed to print absentee ballots for dozens of counties in Ohio and Pennsylvania is 10 days late in getting them to voters, the New York Times reports.
Here’s the kicker: The company’s owners are Trump supporters and flew a Trump flag at their headquarters.
Said CEO Richard Gebbie: “We fly a flag because my brother and I own the company and we support President Trump.”

Why not just go ahead and add, for good measure,
"and being supporters of President Trump, we are for suppressing American voters' voting rights in accordance with his own disdain for the Constitution."
And of course Teagan only tells half the story and the pederast blindly posts
We have been working with the boards of elections ... since August to make sure the ballot distribution process would go as smoothly as possible. Anticipating that the volume of requests might be two times what it was in 2016, our company bought extra equipment, brought in extra staff and expanded hours to prepare to meet the demand," Gebbie's letter said.
"It is fair to say that no one - not the various boards of elections, not Ohio's Secretary of State, not our company - anticipated the staggering volume of mail-in ballot requests that has actually occurred. One of our counties, for instance, told us to expect 40,000 to 70,000 mail-in ballot requests. To date, we have processed 95,000 requests for that county alone. With another 14,000 ballots requested from the county this week. The estimates provided to us were not what ended up as the reality," he said.

Douchebag
President Donald Trump will reverse the decision to reject federal help for California’s wildfires, Rep. Tom McClintock and Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday — and that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars to help recover from the state’s worst fire season in history.
Two days after the Trump administration rejected pleas for assistance that could total $346 million, Newsom and McClintock said they were told the White House had changed course.
Scott asshole and the social media
Oh, and based upon what I've seen on social media the past couple of days, the answer to his question is yes.

"So just so I follow this story:
Hunter Biden, who lives in Los Angeles, decides to fly 3000 miles across country, to drop off 3 MacBook Pros at a repair shop run by a blind guy who charges the insanely low price of $85.
He gets off the plane and drunk drives to the repair shop (because there aren't repair shops in LA). He drops them off, signs a contract for repair and then disappears. The repair shop owner recovers and reads Hunter's *private* emails, a few of which mention a possible meeting with his dad and is so alarmed, he contacts the FBI.
The FBI arranges to pick up the hard drives, but the computer repair shop owner takes a totally normal step of copying them. Once he realizes the FBI isn't doing anything with them, he calls up the most credible ex-Mayor on Earth and hands them the contents of these drives.
That totally credible ex-Mayor sits on them for months, then chooses to release them 3 weeks before the election. The mainstream media asks to independently verify their validity but said ex-Mayor does what all people trying to prove facts do and ignores these requests.
No one who does data recovery would read through thousands of personal emails, even if the computer is abandoned. You'd just wipe the drives clean and sell the computers used.
If these emails were as alarming as it's being pushed, Giuliani wouldn't have sat on them for months.
And if Giuliani wanted to prove their validity, he'd turn them over to forensic experts.
Is this how stupid we are now?"

While slurring through his speech tonight,
"In the same speech in which he has mocked Biden for making verbal slips, Trump has called hypersonic weapons “hydrosonic,” referred to some combo of Rick Scott and Matt Gaetz as “Rick Gates,” and mentioned the Obama-era crisis in “Henderson” before correcting to Ferguson."
Since 1975, I have remained a proud, loyal member of the Republican Party through decades of winning and losing. But with Election Day fast approaching, my requested mail-in ballot from the nation’s most decisive battleground state – Florida – remains unopened after nearly three weeks.
A permanently sealed ballot would stand as a personal time capsule to what I believe was an egregious strategic error perpetrated upon this nation by my party on Feb. 5, 2020. That day Senate Republicans failed to convict President Donald J. Trump on the articles of impeachment approved by the House, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Given all that American voters have endured since — the double scourge of an out of control, mismanaged pandemic, resulting in great economic harm —Trump’s impeachment has largely been relegated to ancient history. Although only the third U.S. president to be impeached, Trump is the first to run for reelection after acquittal.
And because he was not convicted and removed from office, and legally allowed to run for a second term, I consider the Senate’s not-guilty vote to be the most egregious strategic error of 2020. Hence, if only the GOP had acted responsibly, today my sealed ballot might read the name of Michael R. Pence on top, in place of Donald J. Trump.
Before my fellow Republicans stop reading, let me explain and defend myself.
First, I know many Republicans will take umbrage with my suggesting that Trump was rightly impeached and should have been convicted over a “phone call” with the president of Ukraine. However, I believe the specific charges were emblematic of the president’s “anything goes,” “I can do no wrong,” and “no rules apply to me” attitude. This same attitude accounted for how he comported himself pre-impeachment and further emboldened his post-impeachment behavior and authoritarian-leaning tendencies.
On display now is how this “Trumpian” attitude is backfiring, especially among suburban women, evidenced by him pathetically asking voters at a Pennsylvania rally, “Will you please like me?” Well, they don’t.
That helps explain why the words “Biden and landslide” are increasingly linked in polling and news reports. And, why Drudge Report headlines recently screamed: “BATTLEGROUND MAP EXPANDS, SHOCK POLL: BIDEN +17, '91% CHANCE' OF WINNING.”
Furthermore, check out the RealClearPolitics “No Toss Up States” Electoral College map projecting Biden to overwhelm Trump by 375 to 163 electoral votes. Might it look more balanced if Pence had replaced Trump?
And what if the actual results are close to that RCP projection? I will point to the root cause as a self-inflicted wound from the trigger pulled on Feb. 5 by Republican senators, primarily out of fear.
Not all, but enough GOP senators voted to acquit Trump fearing blowback and name-calling attacks, especially those facing tough reelections. After seeing Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) announce his intention to convict and the Trump treatment he received, they understood that casting an acquittal vote was a safer and quieter decision.
Many senators also feared retribution from Trump-supporting MAGA constituents about being “primaried” and voted out of office. Ultimately, those senators prioritized their political careers over what I believe was best for America. While selfishly doing so, they set an unimpeachable, unconstitutional behavioral precedent for future presidents to exploit. (Looking back to 1974, applying this 2020 standard to President Richard Nixon means that he might not have been forced to resign.)
Second, I am well aware that it is revisionist history to imagine “President Pence” topping the GOP ticket and most likely accompanied by a woman VP nominee. Still, I am confident that Pence would have successfully stepped in and made a valiant attempt to unite and heal the nation. Perhaps other Republicans think that Pence would not have been the strongest candidate to replace Trump on the ticket. However, in February 2020, keeping Pence in place as the new incumbent president would have been the more prudent and stable choice.
Had that happened, RCP’s “no toss up” map might now be displaying more “red,” and RCP’s Senate “no-toss up” seat projections might not show the GOP losing control of the chamber.
If only 19 more Republican senators had voted “guilty” on Feb. 5. Then Americans could have been spared what has evolved into a daily “theater of the absurd” — a chaotic White House reality show starring “Superman.”
Worse are childish and desperate statements from Trump’s Twitter account, or directly from his mouth. With utterances and behaviors more associated with banana republic dictators, Americans have come to accept and ignore them as “Trump being Trump.”
Here are three recent episodes that stand out and should not be ignored.
First, last week Trump asked (or rather, insisted) on national cable television that Attorney General William Barr issue indictments against Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Just another “normal” day on the campaign trail! But in America, an incumbent president does not ask for his predecessor and current opponent to be indicted. Sadly, Trump’s astounding request was not treated as a major news event.
Second, on several occasions and at the presidential debate, Trump has refused to state that he would leave office if he disagreed with the election results. He also has said that the only way he could lose is in a “rigged election.” Such outlandish remarks have prompted many Americans to hope Biden wins in a landslide so that GOP leaders will be forced to assist in a peaceful transition of power.
Fortunately, all Americans believe that a “peaceful transition of power” is a hallmark of who we are as a nation. The pride embodied in this foundational concept is always on display during the inaugural swearing-in ceremony when the incumbent (defeated or term-limited) is present, along with all former presidents physically able to attend.
Third, information leaked from Trump’s tax returns reveal that he is in severe financial distress. The president owes $400 million coming due during his second-term time frame. But unknown is to whom -- persons, groups, corporations, banks, or even countries (friendly or unfriendly) -- does he owe these millions.
The Trump financial revelation prompted Mike Morell, former acting director of the CIA, to write a Washington Post op-ed headlined: “Trump is in debt. We can’t ignore the national security risks that come with that.” Morell noted that if the president were instead an applicant seeking a sensitive job, “Trump would have been denied a [security] clearance” over concerns that “high levels of debt would create an unacceptable counterintelligence risk.”
Still, matters such as these three and many more are of no consequence to my GOP friends (who might not be my friends after reading this piece). I have written twice during 2020 that my party has turned into a “Trumplican” cult of personality where reasonable, educated, successful, patriotic Americans dismiss or rationalize Trump’s behavior for reasons spelled out in a recent text sent to me by a VIP Republican and longtime friend:
“Quite frankly, Myra, I don’t know how you can call yourself a Christian and not support Trump. Pay attention to ISSUES, not personalities. You judge a tree by its fruit, not how pretty its flowers are.”
As I see it, the truth is Trump only cozied up to Christians for political expediency and certainly does not comport himself as one. But yes, a big yes, is how his policies and judicial selections have been pleasing to conservative Christians. Nonetheless, I know Mike Pence is a Christian — a real-deal prayer warrior and humble man of God. But, because Pence’s name is in second place on my unopened ballot, I cannot, in good conscience, vote to reelect Trump after supporting him in 2016.
Conversely, neither can I bring myself to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. That would be a vote to support a future beholden to the anti-Christian left — transforming the American economy and culture into one with socialist leanings and empowering a Democratic Party that worships at the altar of climate change and secular humanism.
“Thy will be done” is my response to my friend.
On Election Day or soon after, I fully expect my party to lose the White House and Senate, stemming from the controversial consequences of the majority of GOP senators’ reckless decision back on Feb. 5.
Finally, it pains me to write that I will not be casting a presidential vote for the first time since age 18. Instead, I will pray on Election Day that God helps and blesses our nation.

You really don't get this "democracy" thing do you? It is also the height of arrogance for you to think only you knows what's best for America. MAGA constituents also know what's best for America and they have a different idea.
One that doesn't involved the fervor swamp of Washington DC. One where unelected bureaucrats are accountable to the people's elected representatives. One where the Incestuous relationships between press and ruling class doesn't exist.
