It should also be pointed out that the FBI had the physical hard drive long before the purported hard drive image from the repairman-turned-data-thief were shopped around, and there was proof that there were files added to it after the fact, even before and after the New York Post initially broke the story about the drive. Even the repair guy himself was saying there was stuff being reported that he had not seen. WaPo had two foresnic experts go over the data and could only verify about 20,000 emails, the hundreds of thousands of other emails, pictures, videos etc. couldn't be verified as being real or not because of the fact the data had been tampered with, copied multiple times, etc. This is probably why no real legal repercussions for Hunter Biden came from it.

Guess this does prove it did somewhat come from that repair shop, although seems like it was planted. socialsecurity fucked around with this message at 03:18 on May 3, 2024 |

Timeline as I understand it: * Icloud hacked and backups downloaded * results saved onto a laptop * various things added -repair shop coverstory happens here- * physical HD given to FBI, but copies kept * copies altered some more * shared with various journalists/politicians * memes about what the laptop definitely said -we are here-

I hadn't heard Okeefe mentioned in a long time but some WGOP radio host had Matt Gaetz on and they were discussing some new "bombshell" story or another. I forget what it was and the only info I can find is from hard right sites that I'm not gonna link. It "takes aim at the CIA" Also, update: Matt Gaetz remains I giant piece of poo poo

O'Keefe had a similar FRIENDSHIP OVER moment with Veritas like Tucker Carlson and like Carlson his followers turned on the former employer in support of their hero. Not surprisingly, similar to Ben Shapiro and Stephen Crowder James O Keefe is a failed entertainment guy and seems to use the undercover gig to fund his hobby of acting in musicals. It seems like there's no greater driver of right wing ambition as being rejected by Hollywood.

The Laptop fulfills a similar role to Hillary's e-mails, in that grifters are able to coast off of the initial "scandal" and perception of a huge cover-up to suggest the most lurid things imaginable are on there. Nobody can fact-check them and there's no consequences for lying, so why not? Either follow the Hannity narrative (proof positive that The Big Guy is Joe!) or put your own spin on it (Hunter is having dirty, dirty Democrat threesomes with Obama's daughters!). Just have fun with it! I think the reason it all hasn't congealed into a Pizzagate-esque thing is that Qanon has too many spinoffs now, so they can't all get behind one narrative anymore. That and Hunter doesn't have the decades of hatred aimed towards him that Hillary had at that point.

I have to say that for a Laptop From Hell it seemed pretty mundane in terms of content. Given the overarching narrative of the Qult you'd have expected much more illegal content on it.

Book is not even out yet and more lies pop up. "An upcoming book by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem that has created an uproar over her account of shooting a dog also contains at least two instances in which she recounts meetings with world leaders that are in dispute. In “No Going Back,” Noem says she met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un while serving in Congress on the House Armed Services Committee. Last year as governor, she says she canceled a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron." "“Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee,” she wrote, “I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders. I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all). Dealing with foreign leaders takes resolve, preparation and determination. My experiences on those many foreign trips made me a better member of Congress and a stronger governor. It allowed me to hone my deal-making skills, which play a crucial role in leadership.”" https://twitter.com/NoLieWithBTC/status/1786408994342342766

It probably helps that the flag catchers got a massive amount of money donated to their Fraternity which no doubt will encourage more of this clownish behavior. One long missed opportunity I believe is not appropriating the US flag for leftist causes in order to sufficiently muddle the symbolism of it by the right. The right considers the flag to be a sacred totem, it's unfortunate that it is allowed to happen. Obviously a big part of the protests is criticism of the US as an entity regarding Israel and Palestine, but the power of symbols is that they can be whatever you need them to be.

Everyone that has complained to me in person about Hunter’s indictment has broken the same law. It’s crazy. He lied about using drugs when he bought a gun. Dude, I’ve bought weed from you, you talk about coke a lot, and own guns. Words cannot convey how nuts this is.

I wonder how much of an escalation we're going to see with these protests https://mississippitoday.org/2024/0...of-mississippi/ Feels like history repeating itself. It's notable how the counter protestors weren't really organized, they just came over and heckled the protestors for lulz but the fact that it was the protestors who ended up hustled away is a bad sign. To the right, the idea of frat boys shutting down these protests lends the idea that the counter protests are more valid than the protests. It's not the oppressive boot of the state telling them it's not ok, it's the 'good' Americans that love their country, who are clean and handsome and happy as contrasted with the screaming, angry, and dirty looking protestors. Conservatives always need to feel everyone secretly agrees with them and seeing college students exhibit violence seems to excite them. This in turn surely encourages the behavior since the instigators not just avoid punishment but get praise and support for their antics.

I was thinking about this recently; wondering why the level of political discourse is so heated and why it's so hard to reach common ground and focus on the things we collectively care about and I realized: SO MANY places are "not the time and place for politics". Don't talk about politics at work. Don't bring up politics at family gatherings. Don't talk about politics at parties. No one wants to talk about politics at ________________. "I don't like politics on my social media page" WHEN are we supposed to talk about this? We work like 75% of our waking hours.

PhazonLink posted:lol if the law of projection is that those R leaning boys are just stupid shallow morons with no ideas of their own other than "lol trigger woke sjws, also become a social media supa star" That's straight up what Republicans and other fascists believe. Conservatives believe that violence is one of the foremost virtues of manhood and the first and best way to solve nearly all problems, but they still believe it is a means to an end. To the fascist, violence is no longer the means, but the end. The goal of the fascist is to hurt people and cause suffering. Full stop. And while I would argue most of what we call fascists are not and are in fact extreme conservatives - including most historical Nazis - the GOP is and has been a largely fascist organization, even by my rigid definition, for some time now. The map has been the territory for decades. Rush Limbaugh was probably the real vanguard of it. Note how he never articulated policies or had any positive arguments; all he ever did was complain about people and celebrate misery. Doing X to own the libs. Like there's a reason the real driving force of modern Republicanism is 4chan and other dens of online trolling. Objectivism is sociopathy masquerading as philosophy, and fascism is psychopathy masquerading as politics. He's correct in that the counter protestors have no real skin in the game or ideological beliefs and simply hate the protestors. They are fascists.
