" their star witness testified he'd NEVER heard Joe talk business in the dozens of speaker-phone conversations he overheard."

That's not how influence peddling works. Hunter was demonstrating he had mmediate access. Nobody is going to talk about influence peddling on a speaker phone in a public place. Are you truly this naive?

Hunter wrote off hookers and blows as business expenses. Somehow, no problem with that.

" Doesn't that suggest what Hunter was threatened with was LAWFARE?

The prosecution slow-walked as much as he could so SOL could elapse on as many cases as possible.

Then the plea deal they came up with was so ridiculous it was rejected by the judge. Finally a cou0le of cases were brought and the gun case was viewed as a slam dunk by the jury. All of this was done with the knowledge he'd receive a full pardon and Joe went even further by issuing a blanket pardon. Now we have recently released photographic evidence of the Big guy posing for a pic with Hunter AND Hunter's I business partners while the Big Guy was VP. Yet, somehow through all of this Hunter is a victim?

Add to that Danforth takes Holder's comment as gospel and ignores/downplays Cumo's comment.

Look at how kids performed prior to its creation vs how they perform now.

" Then NOTHING in the Twitter Files rises to censorship, right?

Of course it can. It's not the completely open platform Musk promised. But it seems to be the most open social media platform out there.

" He's stating a fact"

Andrew Cuomo stated a fact that the Alvin Bragg case never would have been brought against anyone not named Trump.

The key difference between Holder and Cuomo is that Holder is defending an ally whereas Cuomo is defending an opponent.

For the record, demonetization and/or loss of verification certificates is not censorship. I the verification certificates are a privilege. Again, I don't like demonetization at all and oppose this move by Musk.

" Hunter was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for a charge Eric Holder said "no US Attorney would bring".

Eric Holder? Obama's wingman?

And you've vehemently supported a censorship regime up to this point. I don't like demonetization yet it happens on other social media platforms and has been long before Musk bought Twitter. I'll read the Mediate link and get back with you.

Was Hunter's citizenship ever in jeapordy of being stripped?

How long have they sat on this video and why?

#9. Stripping him of citizenship because you don't like how he's running a tech platform?

The irony is thick.

I usually wait at least 48 hours after an event like this before making judgements. During the first 24-48 hours the information tends to evolve and isn't reliable early on.

" refuse talk negatively about Donald Trump."

I have no problem talking negatively about him because he has a lot of negatives. This thread isn't about Trump. I have no idea why lefties seem mostly incapable of staying on topic. It's not difficult.

" I thought Obama was running the show?"

I suspect he may have been setting some of the policies. That's one of the points of the linked essay - we don't really know who was in charge and our media have made almost no effort to try and find out.

" Once Citizens United was upheld by the Supreme Court, democracy died. "

That ruling undid parts of a law that had been on the books for 10 years. Don't be a drama queen.

We had four years of a rudderless executive. It was hidden by Biden's inner circle along with the MSM. We could all see it but it was deemed a conspiracy theory, cheap fakes, ageism, etc.

It's a huge scandal.

In a thread about Biden's obvious mental decline and those who covered it up including the MSM and all this site's comments are about Trump.

Zed,

You've become the embodiment of what you project onto your perceived political adversaries.

Zed,

Take the L and ---- off.

My dad passed away in 2022. When he and my mom dropped me off at college his advice to me was: "Don't eat yellow snow."

He was a pure moderate. I've found that he was very wise with this assessment: "Both parties are morally bankrupt."

"What are you gonna do? You just love people and hope they figure things out."

100%

I've observed Danni wishing horrible things upon people she disagrees with.

As for me, I far more value my family and friends and would never put politics above that. I kinda think you are in the same boat - it's how you come across.

She seems nice to me. Happy. Grounded. Maybe a bit passive-aggressive toward some of the lefties on this site but it's certainly well-deserved.
