None of the story makes any sense, and the fact that Guliani and guys like Steve Bannon are the ones bringing it out, conveniently right now is pretty telling.

The FBI are treating it as foreign interference, (may or may not be) and US intelligence was warning the whitehouse about this very type of thing previously.

It's nonsense.

If you're of the opinion Trump is tanking his campaign because he wants to lose, this is pretty good proof.

well the story is that a drunk hunter biden dropped off three laptops to a repair shop and then he didnt bother to pick them up, it was run by a blind guy who then found video of Biden smoking crack with hookers on it, frankly this is an embarrassingly bad and amateur bit of compromat by the Russian's I can only assume Gulliani and his gang of dofus's told them not to worry about how they would get it to the press and the Russians were dumb enough to leave it to the morons, heads must be rolling in Moscow at this point as it is so obviously planted

Hunter Biden hasn't refuted the legitimacy of the emails though, correct?

How they were acquired is one thing, but whether they are genuine is another.

From the content, I also see more implication of wrong doing than anything concrete.

A really interesting a funny take on the mythical undecided voter in the time of Trump, and how pissed off the country is at them. Just some great lines in here.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...36d_story.html

“To be undecided in 2020, to me, you literally would have to be on an ice floe,” says Tom Nichols, a national security professor and senior adviser for the Lincoln Project. “If you’re just coming back from an Antarctic research station, I would understand.”

"Tim Michaels, 50, a consultant in Portland, Ore., blames it on stubbornness — particularly among Bernie Sanders supporters who refuse to commit to Biden. “They’re trying to pretend as though they’re deliberative rather than idiots,” Michaels says."

"Eden Dranger is a 33-year-old television writer and Biden voter in Los Angeles. “I feel that undecided voters are out of touch with what is at stake,” she says. She recently tweeted: “If you ever feel stupid, just remember that there’s still undecided voters.”"

"“One of the problems in America is that we used to celebrate those who weigh all the issues, who weigh all the attributes, and make a careful and informed decision,” he says. Now, “we condemn them because they haven’t joined us in our declaration of who we support.”

Is that what the Undecideds have been doing? Carefully weighing the issues, all the way down to the wire? Greg Shugar, 47, of Boca Raton, Fla., says the undecided people he knows think of themselves as apolitical. They're not waiting on answers to policy questions. "If you are curious about what's going on," Shugar says, "you are not undecided.""

“It is like needing to go to the bathroom and your choices are the men’s bathroom or the women’s,” Jon says. “You can’t just stand there and go in your pants.”

Yes, undecideds have the whole country pissed off at them, and for good reason.
Tom Nichols is a good follow on twitter @radiofreetom

He was also a guest on the Jim Jefferies podcast talking about experts.

Van Jones just raised a big caution flag on CNN - 1/3 of people at Trump rallies did not even vote in 2016, and we are seeing many new Republican registrations.

Supreme Court rejects GOP attempt to require mail-in ballots be received by Election Day in Pennsylvania

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/19/polit...urt/index.html

Quote:
Mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania -- a critical state for President Donald Trump's reelection chances -- will be counted if they are received within three days of Election Day even if they do not have a legible postmark, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.

Four justices dissented from the order, signaling that the court was equally divided, with Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the court's three liberals.

Shows you what happens when Barrett gets on the Court. The right wingers were all in line to help him steal the thing.

Read for yourself. This is QAnon level bull####. Hunter Biden has a room rented in the basement of Comet Ping Pong, right next to the pedophilia dungeon.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/10/...ptop-giuliani/

The intelligence community seems to believe it is a Russian intelligence operation. It has their fingerprints all over it. From the "suspicious" documents being discovered on an unencrypted hard drive, to the players involved, it all just walks, talks, and smells like a GRU operation.

And how do they know this exactly? Were they conducting a poll as people entered the buildings?

Not that I'm saying Jones is wrong, but what's the source for this info?
