    Its not about just the kids crimes, its a question of how Joe was involved.

      You realize there has not been one single piece of credible evidence provided suggesting that he was at all involved, right? If there was, don’t you think it would be on Fox nonstop?

        Sure there is, but you guys dont hear about it because you listen to the lefts corporate media. People that listen to Fox dont do this kind of social media, if you want to insult them use Ben Shapiro, or Larry Elder.

          Didn’t Fox literally claim in court that no one would ever take them at face value? (Or was that just Tucker Carlson?) Why would you want to take anything Fox News says seriously?

            I dont know, I think both MSNBC and Fox have said something like that as a legal argument. But if it were not clear, I dont listen to Fox or watch cable television, I am in my 40s not 70s.

              I think your (pretty solid) point got swallowed whole by your unnecessary “the lefts corporate media” spiel.

              Next time just make your point clear and let it stand on its own.

                You dont think its important to point out that the left will miss out on facts if they only listen to their news sources?

          You’re saying there is evidence that Biden was involved, correct? Could you provide an example/source?

            It would be what was on the laptop and what he has been doing for and with his son. For example there was “10 for the big guy” thing. And then there is Joe lying about interacting with his sons associates. And then there is why they were all paying his son so much but not getting the influence they were obviously buying. And then Joe getting the prosecutor that was investigating the company his son was getting money from. And a bunch more. There are all kinds of podcasts that will lay it all out and list it if you are actually wanting to know.

            The main problem is they should have an extensive investigation like trump had with russia. At best Joe would have a series of conflicts of interest, but they would need to look into all the things.

                They are only as trustworthy as they are. I think that most corporate news sources mislead at best, and lie directly if it is in their interest. I think there are many podcasts that are not always correct, but they are trying to tell the truth. Do you think mainstream sources are trustworthy?

                  For the most part yes. Everyone has their biases, which is why I usually check multiple sources. I’m more inclined to trust a source that is run by people who have backgrounds in journalism, who provide their sources. Articles go through professional editors, who can fact check the information. Paid professionals are involved in the process, and stake their reputations on the quality of their reporting. There has certainly been a decline in the quality of mainstream journalism - largely due to mega corps buying up local news - but I will turn to the BBC before I turn to Joe Rogan.

                  I find that even podcasts I like and consider informative can often have misinformation. Podcasts are often more focused on entertainment and commentary - it is a different set of priorities.

                    I can literally point to three stories this week by the corporate media that were false or misleading off the top of my head.

                    Why do you keep trusting them when they just report things without thinking or maybe worse, dont report stories because they harm a narative?

          They make it up as they go along and spout so many bullshit lies one after another that it’s impossible to counter them all in a single conversation. Then since you can’t they disingenuously say that because you can’t then they’re right. Which is utter bullshit.

        That was a single person, not the whole thing. The laptop was completely independent of that guy.

          If there was such good material on that laptop then why was the focus on nude pics of Hunter? Because there wasn’t shit, the GOP knew it and they are morally bankrupt so the only play they was to hurt/embarrass the Biden family. Oh, that and they’re all in the closet and wanted to show a dick pic they liked to their other closeted christian fundie buddies.

            I think republicans are mostly cowards and I am not here to defend the things they do.

            There are lots of things in the laptop that show at best there is a conflict of interest. There is a reason the Bobilinsky guy had a press conference, because he knew it was a big deal, and thought it was important to let people know.

              Like what? Holding a press conference doesn’t mean shit. You could hold a press conference tomorrow about how much you like hotdogs. The whole thing was projection from Republicans because Trump had a bank acct in China. As a criminal, Trump knows the best defense for one is a good offense and falsely accusing everyone else of doing what he is actually doing takes the heat off of him. His weak-minded cult eats it up.

                Like that Joe was involved in his sons business which involved a foreign country, and Joe said he was not involved in any of his sons business things. Bobilinsky confirmed that it was true and that the code name was Joe. Other things are open knowledge that they dont even hide.
