Xander77 posted:Ah. So all the hot takes along the lines of "for real, Hunter left his laptop in a repair shop run by a blind person, you couldn't come up with a more plausible story?" were full of poo poo? The other issues, like the questionable story about its procurement and the question of whether fabricated disinformation was mixed in with real information (and whether the information actually came from the laptop, instead of being hacked and then placed there) are still in play. Edit: which isn't new information, I think it was always believed that the laptop belonged to Hunter and that at least some of it was real.

Tibalt posted:No, not necessarily. Just that (some) of the emails (related to taxes) were real and that the laptop did actually belong to Hunter Biden. I guess the point is there was nothing bad about Joe Biden in there except in an email somewhere he said something about kicking 10% up to "the Big Guy" which was interpreted as Joe. Other than that it was Hunter doing drugs and having sex with sex workers, which I think most Americans in 2020 just reacted to with "Meh, whatever. Please let me vote out this current rear end in a top hat I don't even loving care anymore."

"10% to the big guy" sounds more like church tithe. Or even just taxes.

When you think about it, paying taxes is exactly like bribing every government official. So really, the only way to avoid corruption is to abolish taxes. I'll go first in the name of transparency!

 Pope:  Coalition expands recycling, carbon credit scheme by $60m amid claims of climate ‘fraud’ by thinktank (Guardian) Rowe:  When asked if he should be worried about the South Australian election result, Morrison said “What I know is that Anthony Albanese is not Peter Malinauskas, he is not any of the other premiers, he is not Annastacia Palaszczuk … there is a big difference between Anthony Albanese as the federal Labor leader and what we see in the performance of some of his state colleagues.” Lethbridge:  Coloured in for the party in charge at state/territory level. Warren Brown:  Kitching’s husband takes aim at Labor’s ‘cantankerous cabal’ at funeral (SMH). Wilcox:  The "factional scandal" is the "mean girls" allegations as per cartoon above. Knight:  Spooner:  All Spooner knows about former SA premier Steven Marshall was he was pretty decent on renewable energy and that is why he was a bad premier.

The SA libs gave the "we'll investigate and run the numbers on renewables" and normally it just stops there but instead used an actually independent think-tank and went "huh, yep, renewables are the way to go" after seeing the data support the conclusion.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:But the destruction of peace? That's not... Putin's fault? Putin, the guy who started a war? It happened because Biden was weak, unlike Trump who was strong, and is therefore Biden's fault. No, Trump wasn't obviously being puppeted by Putin, and he did not get convicted when he was impeached for trying to blackmail Zelensky over US aid, so that case is closed and obviously irrelevant.

How anyone could not already have been aware of the rasputitsa phenomenon before this stupid war even started is beyond me, but then not everyone is a history nerd/map gamer. (How the loving RUSSIAN ARMY could just up and drive straight into it is... well... Georgy Zhukov is clearly rolling around in his grave.)
