It would seem, with both the New York Times and the Washington Post shifting from cover-up mode and now admitting that Hunter Biden's laptop is real (and not Russian disinformation), the Establishment is getting ready to throw Biden under the bus.

WaPo had experts look at the information that was provided to them from a thumb drive. The experts were only able to verify some of the data as real but none of it implied wrong doing. The information had been copied and accessed mulitple times after Hunter Biden dropped off the laptop. What the feds seem to be investigating are problems with taxes. I don't think this equates to Jan 6 and possibly 2billion from the Saudis, let alone all the other 'stuff' during Trump's tenure.
The MSM seems stuck in the look at and trumpet only the bad about everything. It would be nice if they did more comprehensive pieces about the good things happening and potentially happening. Lastly, they just need to stop with the horse race aspect of elections and talk about the candidates and their positions.
Theresa Gauvin, you write like someone who never went to college. The final paragraph of the introduction is the thesis statement of the whole book: All the facts, if there's more than smoke and mirrors, come in the following chapters.
My family name is a cross that I simply must bear. My grandfather, a small businessman, had a reputation for honesty. In his memory, I hope that I may deserve the same.
It's actually a book published a few months ago. If you know of any factual distortions in that book, please share them. In my experience, both Fox and CNN have a lot of fake news, but not all the time.
Hopefully, the news about Jared KushnerтАЩs new equity firmтАЩs influx of $2 billion from Saudi Prince Mohammad will mitigate the outrage about Hunter BidenтАЩs laptop and business dealings.
A forensic analysis by experts found files have been added after Giuliani had possession of the info. The laptop is real; the provenance stinks to high Heaven, and data may have been corrupted/manipulated. There is much to investigate about Hunter Biden, but the laptop info gets smellier and smellier
When Hunter's laptop and his seat on the board of foreign companies returns to the front page, I'll know that our preoccupation with Donald Jr, Eric, Evanka and Jarrod have faded into tabloid irrelevance. Interestingly, Hunter is NOT a senior advisor to the White house. He's treated a bit like the prodigal son, who has still not come home begging to be re-admitted to the family home.
The book "Laptop from Hell" alleged a news media cover-up of Joe Biden's dirty dealings; and that supposedly ensured that Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 election.
That's half the issue.
From the publisher:
"This is the unvarnished story of whatтАЩs really inside the laptop and what China knows about the Bidens, by the New York Post journalist who brought it into the open.
"It exposes the coordinated censorship operation by Big Tech, the media establishment, and former intelligence operatives to stifle the New York PostтАЩs coverage, in a chilling exercise of raw political power three weeks before the 2020 election.
"A treasure trove of corporate documents, emails, text messages, photographs, and voice recordings, spanning a decade, the laptop provided the first evidence that President Joe Biden was involved in his sonтАЩs ventures in China, Ukraine, and beyond, despite his repeated denials."
Let's assume all that dirt is there, AND has been successfully suppressed all this time. Let's assume for the moment that Biden's political history is no cleaner than all of his peers. How does that negate the voice of 156 million votes? 75 million for tfg and 81 million for Biden? How does that address the fact that tfg's own head of the Justice department could not find adequate evidence of widespread voter fraud to warrant taking any action? So, we voted out a belligerent dictator wannabe and voted in an imperfect politician with plans to address a large number of societal issues in short order, on top of a global pandemic and subsequent major regional war on Europe's doorstep? Where IS that laptop? Why not copy the drives in their entirety, release them to every conceivable media enterprise and let them go about tracking down every lead? The story couldn't be any more sordid than what we have endured since 2016. If I have to choose amongst crooks, I'll choose gentle, compassionate and collaborative over the man who would be King every time.
My assessment, even though I could never vote for Trump, was that Biden was/is even worse.
I'll suggest that the rights and wrongs of the laptop are, practically speaking, less important than what the Establishment intends to do with all. They now clearly have the option to throw Biden under the bus and, if they want, bring Trump back for another term.
In what fashion is he even worse? What isn't "out" already? I don't see that his conduct over the last 18 months, even his conduct as VP, warrants equivalence to His Royal Orangeness. Any potentially constructive policy positions tfg might have taken were totally overmatched by his personal revulsiveness and many of them were blatantly aimed at increasing the privilege of the already exalted economic elite. I'm waiting to hear about things Biden has done to deconstruct democracy, reverse socially successful institutions within our political history, widen the gap between the top 2% and the bottom 20% of our economic demographic. I just don't see it. And "the establishment"? Which Cabal are you referring to? The Dems political machine might be divided, ineffectual, rudderless even, but doesn't appear aimed at shielding the most privileged class in America from everyone else...I say that from a place of having enjoyed a great deal of fruits of the American Opportunity as a health care "elite" for 35 years, except for the fact that I witnessed a progressive disenfranchisement of almost every person I cared for at the hands of an ascendent corporate culture whose definition of "efficiency" was squeezing more juice out of an already overburdened system to the benefit of ever increasing layers of management, consultancy, risk management and other fleas on the back of the dog, with less service rather than more delivered to the consumer public per dollar spent. The American capitalist experiment, unconstrained...

Judy, your impression about Hunter Biden's laptop is strongly contradicted by this source (24 pages available online):
https://www.google.com/books/edition/Laptop_from_Hell/mb0oEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover
Quoting from the concluding paragraph of the introduction:
"The president cannot extricate his family's moneymaking schemes from America's foreign policy imperatives."
John, exactly. President TrumpтАЩs daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared made $640 million while serving in the White House. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jared-kushner-ivanka-trump-income-b1799464.html?amp
They were representing the US in an official capacity at the time.
Are you sure Ms Devine wasn't writing about the Trump family??
Quoting from the concluding paragraph of the introduction:
"The president cannot extricate his family's moneymaking schemes from America's foreign policy imperatives."
ThatтАЩs opinion, not fact. Stay in the fact lane please.

I thought opinions could be shared without stooping to meanness. You, have shown otherwise.

I donтАЩt like where this conversation has gone so I am not going to open a link from you or read any more of your postings.

My family name is a cross that I simply must bear. My grandfather, a small businessman, had a reputation for honesty. In his memory, I hope that I may deserve the same.

Article written by Fox News Contributer Miranda Devine...Just sayin'
It's actually a book published a few months ago. If you know of any factual distortions in that book, please share them. In my experience, both Fox and CNN have a lot of fake news, but not all the time.
Which President is being referred to here?
It says President Trump.
Hopefully, the news about Jared KushnerтАЩs new equity firmтАЩs influx of $2 billion from Saudi Prince Mohammad will mitigate the outrage about Hunter BidenтАЩs laptop and business dealings.

But,but, but, HillaryтАЩs e-mail.
I'll also suggest that the Establishment is playing footsie with Trump, testing if he has what it takes to be the new "comeback kid."
I'll further suggest that what is really going here is a so-called "strategy of tension":

What rock did you crawl out from under? thanks for the reminder that LFAA should limit comments to those who pay for the privilege.
Get a life elsewhere Schmeeckle, no one is buying what you are hawking on this forum. What time is Tuck C. on?
I wouldn't know; hope you don't miss your show.
HeтАЩs not a kid.

Thanks, Nathan. Wish I could have had all my ducks in a row as you do here, but those were my scattered thoughts. Quack, quack.
