First up:
Hunter Biden laptop controversy
Manufactured by such far Right tabloids as the nypost, the Hunter Biden laptop controversy involves a laptop computer that allegedly belonged to Hunter Biden, son of the then-presidential candidate and former vice president Joe Biden. The laptop was seized by the FBI after being informed of its existence by John Paul Mac Isaac, a computer repair shop owner in Wilmington, Delaware, who claimed that it had been brought to his shop in April 2019 by a person saying he was Hunter Biden who never came back for it. Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the New York Post published a story presenting these claims, Hunter Biden's alleged ownership, and some material on the laptop that was allegedly compromising for Joe Biden.
Earlier in the month and before the Post's report, a White House lawyer and two others affiliated with Trump had already pitched a story about Hunter Biden's business dealings in China to The Wall Street Journal, which the Trump team saw as an ideal outlet due to its combination of conservatism and industry credibility. However, without warning to the Trump team and while the Journal was exercising due diligence in investigating the story, Giuliani and the New York Post went ahead and published a version of the story based on documents and emails with "questionable provenance" that alleged, but did not prove, Joe Biden's involvement in his son's affairs. Bannon had anticipated the Journal story would appear on October 19, and Trump told reporters to expect a major story in the Journal. The resulting possible insinuation that their journalism was affiliated with or working on behalf of Trump irritated the Journal editors. Tony Bobulinski, a business partner of Hunter Biden who was interviewed for the Journal's report, was afraid that the Journal would not run the piece and therefore issued his own statement on October 21, which Breitbart News published unedited. During the next day's presidential debate, Trump made a vague reference to the emails and hosted Bobulinski as his special guest. After the debate, the Journal published its brief story that Bobulinski and corporate records assessed by the Journal "show no role for Joe Biden"

Guilt by association. Since he's the corrupt one's father, Biden's also guilty of whatever. So much of the stuff the GOP has pulled since trump entered the political arena is such complete and utter BS, I find it incredible anyone was willing to vote for trump - let alone the large number who did. Either they are completely gullible, very good at lying to themselves and/or they are as immoral as he is - or any or all of the above. I disliked and distrusted trump as soon as I knew of him - and I have not been the swiftest person when it comes to my judgment where men are concerned - and even I knew he was bad news.

Either they are completely gullible, very good at lying to themselves It's quite alarming and discouraging to learn how widespread this cult phenomena is,I thought everyone understood what happened in Nazi Germany... I disliked and distrusted trump as soon as I knew of him ...as soon as he opened his mouth in 2016 I knew what a diseased person he is. Dishonest, dishonorable, disrespectful, all the earmarkings(and much more) of a narcissistic sociopath...psychopath.

And, we wonder about those who follow Trump? Cult... maybe?? This book is available on Amazon. Pull it up and read the synopsis. The author actually believes he is the "Son of Man" and has been anointed by God to save the world. So many sick people....

I disliked him in the late 80s when he first came out in the news/TV. I was dumbfounded that the GOP actually designated him as their candidate to become president - and shocked that he won.

I believe don trump is an evil man. This is my personal opinion. I also believe his worshippers are evil. Not simply bad people but evil.
Things they do and say are evil. The way they treat, deceive, mock, and laugh at other people is deranged.
This is not the GOP. FAR FROM IT. Lincoln, Eisenhower, the Bushes and other decent Republicans would look at them with disgust.
They call themselves the party of God. I call that blasphemy. How dare they?
Children in kindergarten are more well behaved and more mature than these pathetic losers.
They are embarrassing us. The world is watching. Probably pointing and laughing too.
Cruel and evil. Party of God? I think not. Party of immature sore losers is more like it.
These losers have hijacked the Republican Party. I hope real Republicans will take back their Party and restore it to the Grand Old Party it once was.

If trump is the best the Republicans have to offer perhaps it's time they took an honest look at themselves, or give up.
Is trump the person they want to represent them to the rest of the world? Do they want to be respected or mocked? They can't have both. I'm not a Republican but I hope they make a wise choice.
