    Does this mean that you believe the 2020 election was "stolen"?

    I never said that. But I have been consistent with my criticism of mainstream media.

    Why do you mean then by "wait until we chose a president"?

    That the laptop was widely considered disinformation until we chose a president.

    Facebook and Twitter admitted that they filtered those posts.

    Since the American people chose the president through an election conducted under the US Constitution I'm not sure what that argument has to do with it. Hunter's Biden's laptop was known before the election. Trump even brought it up in the debate. Is your claim that no one actually knew about it because Facebook and Twitter filtered posts about it?

    Do you think if Facebook and Twitter hadn't filtered posts about it that meant Trump would've won?

    glad to see you unquestionably accept the results from 2000, 2004, and 2016.

    Except you're implying that somehow Hunter's Biden laptop might've made a difference and that therefore social media filtered results on them?

    Is that not what you're getting at otherwise what is the point of your posts on the matter?

    I did not imply that. There are many things that play a role in elections. We discuss them. That doesn't mean they are difference makers. Like I said 5x in the last 20 minutes...we chose a president.

    So bringing this up in regards to the election then doesn't really make a difference.

    Correct. Nothing we say here makes much of a difference.

    Curious, why did you use the word "chose" instead of "elected"?

    Reminder… the conservative WSJ refused to publish the story the same way other outlets did.

    Why do you act surprised when Trump/Guilani was caught engaging in quid pro quo in Ukraine for Biden dirt that respected outlets would not publish?

    I don't have anything to admit or deny... I don't know what you are talking about with that.

    The fact is Hunter Biden is an equity firm partner. I guess you have no corporate experience so I'll try to use simple words to explain.

    Equity firms are setup by people who setup a company that uses bank loans to buy multiple distressed companies, typically package them together with a somewhat cohesive vision, consolidate (aka fire people) overlapping shared services such as accounting, HR, CS, etc. to make the companies more profitable, and sell off before they have to start paying interest on those loans.

    The point is: Hunter Biden did not invest in companies with his own money. He was an equity partner who got loans from Wells Fargo, Chase, etc.

    Other times what they do is they put themselves on the board so they can actually collect dividends, and a sum of the money that they get back when they sell the company they just bought with someone else's money.

    If it sounds like a scam.... IT IS. Being a hedge fund or Equity shark is not a respectable career IMO... but it is perfectly legal, and Hunter Biden wasn't getting SUPER SECRET money under the table for enemy countries who want to take down America. He didn't need to do that anyways. He was getting money to invest from the banks, and then inserting himself on the boards of them to take a pay cut when he facilitates that company being packaged and sold away.... while who knows how many people are put out of work in the process.

    Hunter Biden sucks yes.... but he's not the James Bond villain you guys think he is based on your Alex Jones brand conspiracy theories. When you look at his professional bio he just reads off more like your garden variety Republican grifter than Bond Villain mastermind.

    Hunter retracted. Not his laptop. Joe's lawyers are busy AF lately.
