It would help to note the difference between criticizing and manufacturing fake news stories.

Criticize Biden and Mother Teresa all you want, but don't spread lies and conspiracy theories about them. Big difference.

Every investigation of Trump during the last 4 years have ended in indictments. Manaford, Stone, Greek guy, Cohen, Flynn.....and on and on. With more to come after he is out of office.
Can you say the same for these "best of" the right wingers?
Clinton Foundation
Obama birther conspiracy
Hunter Biden and Ukraine (remember, this is not a new story)
Benghazi
Hilary emails
Obama wiretapping Trump
Pizzagate

Let's hear it.

It's hilarious to think that Trump honestly thinks these clips are in his favor. This seriously makes him look WORSE. I would not be surprised if Biden widens the national gap a few more points because of these clips.

Well good thing I made absolutely zero mention of right-wing conspiracies then, eh? I very specifically said "criticism from the left."

demanding a broad discussion of Biden's transgressions right at this very moment only makes sense if you are 100% sure that it won't increase Trump's chances of re-election in the slightest. for those wanting to do this deep dive on the Democratic Party establishment right NOW, I just want to confirm this is where you're at.

as soon as power has officially and irrevocably been wrestled away from the red/orange death cult, by all means fire away at the Dems and work towards something even better. even Obama's last couple of speeches and interviews, he really drives this point home: step 1 - remove the soulless buffoons currently in power; step 2 - keep on voting for continuous incremental change and improvement; step 3 - profit.

don't let perfect be the enemy of good, or even mediocre in this case. I don't know why "Biden is the ultimate solution to all our problems!!" is being put up as the argument his defenders would make. hundreds of pages of this thread and I don't remember a single person making anything close to that claim.

Can someone please explain why the Biden emails which appears to be when he was not in office should matter to people, when all the majority of things Trump has done in office have not?

Well I personally can't, but I'm sure Hannity will have some garbage talking points that his lemmings can repeat ad nauseum for you.

Seriously these people are sad, and the lack of originality is part of why they are losing.

Yes, while we are discussing why the media doesn't pick up on the Hunter conspiracy. You indirectly called that story criticism, which it is not. Unless I took you out of context.

BTW, many Dems criticize Biden for his age, voting record etc.

WASHINGTON — It was a foreign policy role Joseph R. Biden Jr. enthusiastically embraced during his vice presidency: browbeating Ukraine’s notoriously corrupt government to clean up its act. And one of his most memorable performances came on a trip to Kiev in December 2015, when he threatened to withhold $1 billion in United States loan guarantees if Ukraine’s leaders did not dismiss the country’s top prosecutor, who had been accused of turning a blind eye to corruption in his own office and among the political elite.

The pressure campaign eventually worked. The prosecutor general, long a target of criticism from other Western nations and international lenders, was voted out months later by the Ukrainian Parliament.

Among those who had a stake in the outcome was Hunter Biden, Mr. Biden’s younger son, who at the time was on the board of an energy company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch who had been in the sights of the fired prosecutor general.

Hunter Biden was a Yale-educated lawyer who had served on the boards of Amtrak and a number of nonprofit organizations and think tanks, but lacked any experience in Ukraine and just months earlier had been discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine. He would be paid as much as $50,000 per month in some months for his work for the company, Burisma Holdings.

Honestly it’s a little sad now. Republicans trying to #DefundNPR since they said they won’t spend any time on this Hunter laptop fabrication.

Of course they don’t understand that NPR’s funding from federal dollars is 5%. Please do defund it. A few people buy an extra tote bag and that amount’s cleared right up.

Come on guys, remember when Lanny said Greenwald is basically a shill for the Russians to help spread disinformation.

Who is saying that these emails should matter to people, outside of MAGA cultists?

I think you're missing the point of Greenwald's complaint.

That's what they said about Gab and Bitchute, but somehow the Nazis always find their way back onto the mainstream platforms.

No, I'm literally asking because I have no idea. I haven't read a lot about them and don't exactly trust the editorializing of Post Millenial or whatever.

EDIT: Basically, WO said "uh oh" but I don't see the uh oh, so... I'm wondering what the uh oh is...
