OK, Laptop was real. MSM corruption

[TwiceHorn 31,283]

So here's the thing.  Even if the laptop and its contents made public thus far are 100% authentic and "say what they appear to say," here's the "smoking gun":

• Burisma Meeting: "In another set of emails examined by prosecutors, Hunter Biden and Mr. Archer discussed inviting foreign business associates, including a Burisma executive, to a dinner in April 2015 at a Washington restaurant where Vice President Biden would stop by. It is not clear whether the Burisma executive attended the dinner, although the vice president did make an appearance, according to people familiar with the event."

So, Joey Two Scoops "made an appearance" or "stopped by" a dinner hosted by his son that may or may not have had a Burisma executive in attendance.

The horror.  The corruption.

Even if that did happen what’s the problem? Again Hunter Biden was never under investigation for anything. He did not work for Burisma when the malfeasance occurred. Shokin was forced out literally because he was not digging into Burisma enough and was soliciting bribes. 
So for the conservatives, the argument is that Daddy forced out Shokin to protect Hunter from an investigation, of which he was not a target, even though Shokin was forced out for not doing enough in that investigation? How does that make any sense whatsoever

Given that threshold for evidence that is proof of a crime, then this photo is proof that Donald Trump fucks minors.

This has been ignored by conservatives since the beginning.  It's so dumb.  If you believe the Bidens (Joe or Hunter or both) were in cahoots with Burisma, it was AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS to get rid of Shokin.

Can you reframe this without confusing pronouns?  Explain the "malfeasance", too.  (I'm just trying to understand exactly what you're saying, not questioning it either way.)

[hobbes2702 12,847]

Burisma was under investigation for some sketchy deals made between 2010-2012. The Obama admin even considered opening their own investigation into the company for potential money laundering.

Hunter joined the board in 2014. He was never under investigation of any kind.

Shokin was forced out for not investigating political corruption, seeking bribes, and slow playing the Burisma investigation.

If the goal was to protect Hunter, although he needed no protection because he wasn’t under investigation for anything, the admin would have pushed to keep the corrupt prosecutor in place. Shokin was protecting Burisma.

Sorry that first post was nonsense. I corrected it some

I realize I should be permabanned for ejaculating this into all your brains.

Edit:  further, I am sincerely pissed the mainstream media has not taken this post and run with it as news.  I mean, look at this compromising photo of Rudy, beating it to images of Hunter’s massive kielbasa.  What more proof do you need?

Well, there's multiple angles of attack on the Hunter problem.  As far as I can tell, the only thing the laptop and its contents support is the above.

Another angle is yeah, Biden helped get Shokin fired, to protect Hunter.  Which is, as you point out, bullshit.  Also, getting Shokin removed was stated US policy, supported by a number of other governments and foreign ministers.

Also, I concede that Hunter, and VP Joe, and Burisma doesn't really pass the "appearance of impropriety" ethics test.  But that hasn't really ever been applied to US government outside the judicial branch.  And, because Trumpkins are the main proponents of all this, most certainly didn't apply in the Trump Administration.

I am tired of the "but Trump" defense.  It seems hollow.  That said, I'm well beyond tired of hypocritical Trump supporters lashing out against the same things (but usually a more subtle or minor version) for which they look the other way for when it's their guy committing the offense.

You said it better than I could say it as I think the only reason this is even a thing is because it is an attempt to show that "see? Democrats play politics too!". We all know that hypocrisy is a must-have for any politician, but this is an attempt to try and call-out hypocrisy by hypocrites which is largely why this topic completely bores me.

So have you ever watched Game of Thrones?

Because if you did, you’d have noticed there’s a scene where Daenerys asks Jorah what the Dothraki expression for “thank you” is and he replies “there’s no such expression.”

You just used the word “sense” regarding arguments that are derived 100% from the language of Tribal Instincts and Emotions, which is the native tongue of the Fairy Land of Make Believe and Pretend. There is no such expression in that language.

When it comes to generic, shitty political behavior, ok maybe.  But when it comes to cozying up to our enemies, alienating our allies, rescinding national monuments designated by other presidents, shitting on every presidential norm in the book, and about 1000 other horrifying bullshit actions he took, well, let me know when Biden does something to that degree.

You can’t hold elected officials responsible for their adult children trading on the family name. You can and should prevent the elected officials directly employ their adult children or use them to run scams for you. Trump clearly did this. I haven’t seen evidence Biden did.

He has a blog so I bookmarked it. Olds from Facebook can't do that? Bookmark your blog?

I think the fact that the whole Hunter Biden thing was ginned up by Trump after Joe Biden announced his candidacy for President makes the “but Trump” argument central to the case. But for Trump, no one would care. It’s not really a thing. The only people who think it’s a thing are Trump supporters. And they have no problem with Jared and Ivanka having offices and staffs and budgets in the White House while Trump was President. The power Jared wielded is proof that no Trump supporter cares about Hunter Biden at all other than that his last name is Biden and his dad ran against Trump (and won fairly). Nothing they claim about what anyone else does, real or imagined, is anything that would bother them if a member of the Trump clan did it. They’re hypocrites and not to be taken seriously.
