Panfilo posted:I'm assuming a lot of inertia came from media allegedly suppressing the story. It was also connected to the "Twitter files" and how chuds believe social media is in the left's pocket The "Twitter files" and media suppression of it are mostly those various entities going from the immediate starting point of "Yeah we're not comfortable putting dick pics on our global platforms so maybe don't do that?" instead of instantly vomiting it out in to the world in its entirety, completely unvetted. Everything else after that was people asking things like "OK so you claim you got this from who, again? Any proof of that? Like, at all? Like, anything will do. A signature? Video? A receipt? Anything? No? Well all righty then." The entire thing was manufactured to be right wing catnip, so it will never go away and the people spouting the bullshit will believe whatever they want at any given time.

ZeusCannon posted:Thanks. I vaguely knew the connection to Ukraine and with all the other (actually real) news in Ukraine i think I lost the context. Yeah, in this case it's literally because there's nothing they can criticise Joe Biden for that they aren't worse on, at least the time the election was happening, so they needed something to attack him on, and Burisma/Ukraine was what Trump chose in 2019 leading to his first impeachment, which set the scene for them never shutting the gently caress up about it. The lowkey funniest part of the email leaks though is showing that Joe Biden unconditionally loves his hosed up son in a way that only puts into stark relief how little Trump cares about his own sons, and you can tell it's what drives like 90% of Don Jr's obsession over Hunter.

ZeusCannon posted:I dunno if this is the right thread but I'm gonna ask. Can someone give me a high level on whatever the gently caress these dumbasses are yelling about with regards to bidens laptop or something. If you're looking for a good deep dive, Some More News/Cody's Showdy did a pretty good one recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10_JLlARVJ8 The TLest of DRs is roughly that a guy in a Maryland computer repair store claims that Hunter came in and dropped off a MacBook for repair; the owner went through it and found DAMNING EVIDENCE OF PERFIDY (it's where the whole "Big guy" thing for Biden came from: at one point, Hunter promises or reminds someone not to forget "10% for the Big Guy"), and the idea that Biden was using Hunter to end-run around some ethics poo poo (The reality is it's just standard failson trading on his father's name poo poo). The owner of the store then, supposedly, proceeded to contact Rudy Guliani who tried to make it A Thing. A bunch of media outlets refused to cover it cus that sounds wicked sketchy and dumb and why would you believe that and that was used as evidence that The Lamestream Media was covering things up for President Big Guy.

He's in as good as you can be with a police force with a budget and mandate that in almost any other country would be a national military, and is even more chummy with the NY FBI. You couldn't ask for better allies in making poo poo stick, doubly so since those two orgs also pull the regional press around by their nose. It's just that he's also Rudy, and mysteriously our power structures seem to have a hard time removing people from power once they're into even their 2nd or 3rd decade of nonstop self-owns

Neito posted:Wasn't there like an attempt to paint Biden's love for his son as like, incestuous for a while? No, with Hunter, Biden's voicemail of 'I love you son, but I don't know what to do anymore, I hope you get some help' was painted more along the lines of 'look at that sissy liberal man talking about his feelings'. The incestuous accusations were aimed towards his daughter Ashley, and came up in the Politoons thread recently: Skios posted:Spoiler for right wing sleeze. Basically, someone got their hands on an old childhood diary of Ashley Biden, the president's daughter. It was so toxic that even the Trump campaign wouldn't touch it, so it ended up in the hands of Project Veritas/James O'Keefe. Some of the stuff was leaked, and some mention of Ashley showering with her dad as a little girl got twisted into Biden having the hots for his prepubescent daughter. Even Project Veritas didn't turn it into one of their bullshit stories, and the people who originally sold the diary to them are currently facing federal charges over it, because they took it and other personal belongings from Florida to New York to sell them to Project Veritas. If you see a reference to Biden showering with his daughter in the depths of Trumpworld, that's where it comes from.

It makes it even funnier when you remember that Fox News fired Steven Crowder from Sean Hannity's show because he wasn't funny. Think about that, Fox News considers Gutfeld! funnier than self-described comedian Steven Crowder.

I teach high school and the other social studies teacher is a chud. I had a group of students come up to me to ask my opinion about “how Elon is using the Twitter files to show how Twitter was in the bag for Biden because they were trying to stop people from knowing about Hunter Biden’s laptop”. The other teacher had apparently told them all of this. I told them that the Twitter files actually shows how entities from all over tried to influence tech companies and that Twitter had their own rules to follow and it seems like they had discussions and went with what they thought was within the rules. I told them that the government contacts tech companies all of the time for different reasons and I used the FBI contacting apple to get a backdoor around a locked iPhone as an example. One student mentioned how this was different since they were protecting Hunter Biden. I asked him if he knew what tweets were actually deleted. He said no and I told him that it was only tweets that included Hunter Biden’s penis because that would fall under as revenge porn. Everything else was allowed as those files showed. I then explained what a failson was and the kids seemed to get it. Enough to where they told the other teacher that I had told them that the other teacher was wrong (I did not but the other teacher really was wrong). In the end, this is all that conservatives have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKGeGUTGPvE

Tesseraction posted:Honestly, in terms of being deliberately funny? They're right. Yeah, they're 100% right. It's just funny because Crowder styled himself as a comedian but I don't think that was Gutfeld!'s actual career target at Fox.

been thinking about how the xbox power saving tantrum is yet another instance of conservatives demonstrating what their priorities are. they hate the idea of environmentalism so much that they're willing to literally pay more in energy if it means owning the libs. nevermind that this is a feature that's been present on many devices for probably decades now, and also never mind that you can disable this feature if you want. this is why i never pay attention to any rightwinger who claims they're "fiscally conservative". no, they don't give a drat about saving money, either in their personal bank accounts or when it comes to taxes/spending. they will happily take a hit as long as they feel their enemies are being punished in some manner, no matter how minor (though ideally, the more brutal, the better). they simply run on hatred and spite. as someone famously said: "the cruelty is the point".

Since Hannity is a broken record and will literally never shut the gently caress up repeating the exact same poo poo, with the exact same words, in the exact same tone every goddamn day, I know that the biggest claim right wing media is making is that they have DEFINITIVE PROOF that Biden talked to Hunter about his foreign business dealings, because there are pictures of Hunter and Joe with some of Hunter's foreign clients. But of course, photographs do not capture spoken words like speech bubbles so just seeing photos of them together is not actual proof that Joe discussed foreign business dealings with his son. It absolutely looks sketchy as hell and lends weight to the theory that he could have, but it is not in fact definitive proof.
