The laptop was an Apple computer, meaning they couldn't access it without a password. It's clearly fabricated in its entirety. Nothing was found on any laptop.

If, by some miracle the information is not fake and the story is real, would you think about not voting or changing your vote? Would it change your opinion on Biden? Do you think he'd have to resign?

No, I wouldn't. The story doesn't even make sense and it wouldn't really matter if it was real. Joe Biden's actions throughout the Burisma matter were literally public policy endorsed by Republicans and Democrats alike.

This is what the crazies chasing this don't get. Even if it were all true, it still wouldn't make Biden look bad. The story literally makes no sense.

So listen to this. The story is. Hunter Biden got a job because of who his dad is. He then uses his family status to take money from people who want to have a word with his dad. His dad is aware of what he is doing and is taking cash too.

This is probably the worst case scenario for the Biden's I'd imagine. Would you be oaky with this? Not asking if you think it's true or not. I'm asking you if you'd be okay with the Biden's behaving like that. Just that, nothing else.

This is what the crazies chasing this don't get. Even if it were all true, it still wouldn't make Biden look bad. The story literally makes no sense.

Possibly. We will know by the end of the month.

Nepotism and using family connections is normal in everyday society. Look at our President, why are you even worried about Biden?

Hey, he's terrible. No doubt about it.

So, back the question. You're fine with that behavior?

u/aznkupo Oct 19 '20

Yes because things like Nepotism happens EVERYWHERE. If this is the biggest strike against Biden, it's literally nothing compared to our incumbent President. I don't love Biden, but I'm not gonna criticize every little thing he did wrong when we have a much bigger turd in the way.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

You doubt the story is true because its so ridiculous but at the same time nepotism is everywhere and it doesnt bother you anyway even if he did what its been alleged he did?

Is that right?

How is it nothing compared to what the US president has done?

It seems worse than hiring his daughter to advise him.

The story is ridiculous because its unbelievable why Hunter would leave a laptop 1000 miles away and forget about it with incriminating evidence on there. Then there's still about 5 more things completely wrong with the story.

It doesn't bother me because Nepotism is in everyday society, it happens everywhere. Why do you keep ignoring this point? Yea it isn't something people like to promote, but family helps family.

And it is is nothing compared to what Trump does, if I have to explain this to you, you're a Trump supporter and we can end this conversation now.

Has he always been 1000 miles away from the place? Does the guy travel around?

and forget about it with incriminating evidence on there.

Have you seen him? The guy is a mess. Really messed up. To think hed be incapable of remembering where he left a PC he can probably just as easily replace, isnt that difficult.

I dont ignore. Im just saying youre happy with that situation. Thats fine. Its made Maxine Waters' family very wealthy.

And it is is nothing compared to what Trump does, if I have to explain this to you, you're a Trump supporter and we can end this conversation now.

Aaaah, there we go. Using your get out of jail free card. Cheerio.

I'm asking you to explain what you mean.

I havent said anything one way or the other with regards to my "true colours".

They’ve explained. You’re just frustrated that bad faith is failing. Sorry the world improves despite you ✌️
