| | Re: Trump or Biden .Who you got? | Quote: | |  | | | Sorry..but think you need to read more sources. Much as Twitter and FB tried to shut this story down, (that in itself is EXTREMELY troubling!) it has merit.
And I love how every time the Dems have an issue, they claim "Russia". So prove it then. How did Russia interfere exactly? I am curious...
Peter Schweizer published his book in January 2020. It implied much of the info referenced here and neither Biden nor his campaign sued for libel. Why would they not if his/Schweizer's claims were not true? Namely, Biden knew about Hunter's business dealings and met with officials from China to facilitate Hunter's business? And who knows about Barisma and other business ventures?
We won't even go into the laptop and the emails there. But this is a "Russian" disinformation campaign? Please...you are more intelligent than that! Read and investigate more.... | | | | | My reluctance to delve into the rabbit hole of conspiracy thinking is no measure of my intellect, I assure you. And while Mr Schweizer may be a fine investigator, he has a serious axe to grind. His association with Bannon is enough to turn me off anything he writes. That's my bias, and it is strong.
I'm sure Hunter Biden has some skeletons in his closet. Has he any more than the grifter offspring of the current president? Can he wreck anymore havoc than the utter failure that has been Kuschner. I don't know. But he is not the political candidate and neither are the grifter offspring.
I have serious election fatigue, serious anti science fatigue and serious conspiracy thinking fatigue. I'm going to look at happy pictures of puppies on the internet and hope that Trump is defeated.

So far we only saw fotos of what are claimed to be the original emails.
Anyway emails from Hunter would be useful evidence but emails to Hunter are meaningless.
For example, I could send you an EF private message claiming you emptied the collection plate at your local church into your pocket but that is not proof of anything. It is simply an evidence free allegation.
As to libel, Schweizer would just claim the First Amendment.
A public figure cannot succeed in a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements in the United States unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with actual malice by knowing the falsity or by reckless disregard for the truth. The legal burden of proof in defamation actions is thus higher in the case of a public figure than in the case of an ordinary person.

Oh, my...enough with Hunter Biden. He's no candidate in this election. Is everyone assuming that, because the current president is employing some of his family members (who are corrupt as hell) that the democratic candidate would as well? Maybe, let's wait and see. In the meantime, the debate should be about the candidates themselves.

| | Re: Trump or Biden .Who you got? | Quote: | |  | | | Pancakes... despite your numerous links, enlighten me how this plays into Hunter Biden? As I referenced, Schweitzer's book was published in January 2020. In that book, he went into great detail about Hunter's activities and Joe's involvement and he referenced many sources. If not true, why didn't Biden sue for libel at THAT time? Schweizer's sources and references were considerable.
How is this now "Russian Interference"??? I don't know what more to say here but what a complete farce to claim Russian involvement. | | | | | I never said that that was due to Russian interference. I even specifically stated that I don't blame Russia for everything. But you had asked why some people are quick to blame Russian interference or "the Russians" (as you put it) for things, and I explained why.
Anyways, I'm still not sure why Hunter Biden is on trial here. He's not running for President.

Biden could be completely innocent, I don't know but neither do people who are blindly defending him.
What is definitely true is that if Trump was in a similar situation, the MSM would have been on it 24/7, proof or no proof. Sorry I am just looking at it objectively.

| | Re: Trump or Biden .Who you got? | Quote: | |  | | | Political parties and special interest groups mail out absentee ballot requests to try and get voters to turn out. Some states decided to send out requests too, in order to facilitate the process this fall if people didn't want to vote in person. Voters receive multiple mailings, and have even before this year. Voters see on the news that they should request a ballot by a certain time. So just to be safe, they send multiple requests. | | | | | This^. I would estimate each member of our household has received 4-7 absentee ballot request forms in the last two months, coming from various groups including the Trump campaign, our state board of elections as well as various voter information groups (some partisan, some not).
The official state application came later than most, so if I had submitted one from one of the more questionable groups earlier, I would have sent the "official" one in as well.
