Funny stuff. And completely true.


And now you are shocked at the responses we all know you are 100% that it's completely true. no sarcasm
It is true. The emails were dismissed as Russian disinformation, then a year later Politico admits the emails were genuine. I'm not making that up, that's what happened. Social media giants were actively taking down mentions of Hunters emails by influential conservative voices.

Because it was the 11th hour in an election and everybody knew Russians were running misinformation campaigns to help Trump. Besides real or not, the story isn't there. So Hunter worked to profit off his name, big whoop, look at Trump's offspring.

so we should ignore potentially important news, if it might hurt democrats right before an election.

“real or not”

there is no more “or not”.

“look at grumps offspring”

who were wildly successful
before trump took office. Hunter was a pervert ( slept with his dead brothers widow) and loser ( impregnated a stripper, didn’t pay child support until a judge ordered him to). who knew he was also one of the worlds top artists as well? that’s not fishy.

Journalistic standards. Trump and his crony's were lying left and right, you can't give that equal treatment. Seriously Jim, look at the effing clown car that his campaign was.

The New York Post was lying left and right? The lefty media called the guy who confirmed what was in some of the emails, a Russian agent. Was there any evidence of that? Or is that what we now do to everyone who criticizes prominent democrats, like Hilary did to Tulsi Gabbard?

It's not journalistic standards to do what Politico did, and investigate whether the emails were valid, and then report honestly on what you found? Except maybe do it before the election, so that voters could decide if they wanted to consider that or not?

They didn’t have the info at the time. Again though, confirming a few emails is irrelevant if they don’t show clear wrongdoing.

Are you thinking about maybe bidding on some artwork?
