    As far as the story is concerned, it's a crash course in mental gymnastics. The mainstream media need to wisen up and not run it.
    The mainstream media just put a Trump town hall to rival the Biden one, just for ratings. I'm almost sure they'll run this, because they're whoring for clicks.

    2) The laptop supposedly ended up this computer shop in December......coincidentally, the month Giuliani got back from Ukraine, and went on a speaking tour on Fox News about how he had shit on Hunter Biden.

    3) What was Rudy doing in Ukraine? Oh, he was meeting with a known Russian intelligence agent? What?

    4) Why would Hunter Biden drop off a laptop and never pick it up?

    5) Why would he drop it off in a Delaware shop when he lives in California?

    6) Why can the shop owner not identify Hunter as the person who dropped it off? (Hint: It's because it would probably be easily-provable perjury, if, say, Hunter has even the remotest semblence of a known schedule)

    7) Why did the shop owner illegally peruse the laptop's contents when it was supposedly dropped off for "water damage," and then illegally make a copy of the hard drive?

    8) If the FBI has had it since December, why hasn't it produced anything?

    9) Oh, you're saying this was dismissed already during the impeachment hearings when Republicans brought it up, and bipartisan committees who looked into it found nothing but a Russian disinformation scheme?

    10) Oh wait, THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR?

    11) Why has no grand jury or any sort of investigation found anything regarding this?

    12) Most damning of all....Biden led an international effort to fire the prosecutor in the so-called EMail not because he was investigating Burisma, a company his son didn't yet sit on the board of........but because THE PROSECUTOR REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE CORRUPTION AT BURISMA. It was internationally lauded as the correct thing to do, and official policy of the Obama Administration. Why would this alleged meeting (which Biden himself confirms never happen) be some sign of grift or corruption if Biden's position was to shitcan this guy?

    Edit: 13) Another thing, why would Hunter Biden be EMailing himself smoking crack and having sex with a sex worker to.....who? This reeks of Russian Kompromat spoofed onto a computer as fake emails.
    This NYPost story is seriously some National Enquirer level garbage. Can you imagine that we have US Senators.. SENATORS!... members of what was once lauded as the greatest deliberative body on the planet peddling this horseshit?

    Hey Ted Cruz, I heard that a Muslim alien had a love child with Obama that turned out to be a bigfoot and the proof is in Hillary's emails!!!

    The tweet in question is no longer available. She's RT'd three things and posted once, four hours ago, since then. Including 2 hours ago with Trump's post.

    Fair. Maybe they shouldn't promote disinformation? I mean, that's likely why they lost access, because they shared transparently obvious disinformation. They shouldn't do that. They're being treated like the other accounts that spread disinformation. Being a tabloid news magazine doesn't give them protection for that on Twitter's platform.

    So far they haven’t. In fact folk like Maddow and Tapper have been very direct in discrediting the piece. WaPo, NYT and co are following suit. Honestly unless Christopher Wray coming out and doing any funny business, which given he’s not Comey, doesn’t seem like he will, this will just be another right wing conspiracy theory and remain that. The Trump townhall has Chuck Todd written all over it. He’s still super bitter about the Obama years.

    Give the guy a break. He's had to devote a lot more time to his girlfriend's education since high schools went to online learning.

    Joe Biden sucks. His son is a backroom leech and he has a career himself has a career full of being a weirdo whose trades justice for peace.

    He still isn't the candidate who is looting the union, taking away from workers, allowing citizens to die home and abroad, gasing protesters, I can go and go.

    If the Biden's are corrupt and that means they should be disqualified remember the learned it from the Trump's who shouldn't even be part of the conversation.

    Yeah, he’s always been quite upset that Obama didn’t do enough to ‘turn’ the GOP good. Criticised Obama quite regularly for his lack of ferocity in fighting them. So it’s likely he’s just now being a ratings whore with this town hall. The issue is that Trump plays the ratings game more than Todd.

    We're not doing this. We're not going going down a rabbit hole because you don't like the way someone can critique Biden while saying he is still better than Trump.

    Yeah, as long as you are scared of me, more than your conscience. You don’t have to prove anything to me...

    Yep, when Trump posted his full page ad in support of the death penalty for the Central Park 5 in 1989, it isn't surprising.

    The more I read about this the more clear it's a pile of shit story. This entire thing is one big fabrication.

    It's sad how desperate Trump supporters are for some kind of scandal as if it's going to balance out against Trump's 100s of scandals.

    Machismo supporting censorship, typical.

    What is racist about conspiracy theory on Biden's adopted son using his father's influence for profit?

    Replacing one conspiracy theory with another isn't how you should approach things.

    Republicans are quite capable of doing it themselves.

    Twitter and FB censorship boosted this story a lot more then it's (likely fake) content.
