FBI has confirmed that they are in possession of Hunter’s laptop and it is not a Russian disinformation campaign. – maybe hunter needs his laptop. In romania all the cheap ones are sold out due to online school
Good afternoon this fine day…
Some people believe Hunter did this on purpose as a cry for help. Me, I am certain it shows the most important fact about this class of mendacious credentialed moronic elite ruling class with an agenda to make their hold on power permanent through the creation of an autocracy: that they feel nobody will or should dare call them on their stupidity and criminality. After all, the plans they have for those that dared buck their racket all but show that they expect to be able to do the most destructive and stupid shit and have everybody pretend it is not happening because of fear of retaliation.
Maybe he is just a crackhead who forgot the whole thing. “Hey, gimme another computer, I can’t find my other one!”
“Where did my child pr0n go?? How am I gonna #MeToobin without that?? GET ME SOME MORE NEKKED KIDDIES!!”
I thought that was fake news and it was actually meth?
I guess I got trolled by someone posting fake news that Snopes said it was meth and not crack.
I thought that was the CNN defense being deployed about why the story was bunk and Russian disinformation…
Hunter doesn’t do crack! It’s meth! So the whole thing is fake news!!!
Which makes the claims made by Giuliani of there being pictures of underage and elicit texts much more interesting. – I don’t think you should be held responsible for things you download when on crack.
Here Here!
There, there…
Where where?
A little to the right.
Does anyone else feel like the FBI, after having this for almost a year, was playing from the a new playbook? After all, the one they had when Hillary was running blew up in their face? I now suspect they might fall back on that older playbook, and one of them will get on TeeVee and tell us that despite the fact Hunter had child porn, he was not doing it on purpose, and so even though the law is clear he deserves jail time, they will let him off. And oh, they wiped the laptop so now nobody can look at the real criminal shit Biden was up to…
Looks to me like they were playing from the old playbook, and the fact that the IT guy kept and released copies blew that playbook up in their face. There’s no wiping it now.
That said, nobody’s getting prosecuted for anything, I’m sure. The part of the playbook that says “don’t prosecute People Who Matter” never changes.
I would not be surprised if the IT guy gets prosecuted for possession of child porn for keeping a copy of the drive.
Yeah, they’ll find some way to punish him.
In what way has Hunter been held responsible?
Illicit.
– that guy.

Unemployment rate 60% higher in blue states. – well since work is exploitation, less of it is better right?
Correct, comrade.
The last I heard, the unemployment rate in NYC was approaching 25%. We’re super better.
Damn. I think we’re back in the high single digits here in Ohio. Just in time for our fuckwit Governor to start talking more lockdowns, and no lifting of the 22:00 last call restrictions.
Governor Fatboy here in Illinois just locked down a bunch of TEAM RED counties – just in time for a slew of Joe Biden ads blaming TEH VID on Drumpf.
Subtle.
You all let people outside of Chicagoland vote?
I don’t know what I would do if I lived in a blue state where the governor clearly was playing politics with my livelihood.
Fume. Plot leaving. Fume some more.
And then realize that between my wife and I, we have all 4 parents within 45 minutes of us, and they are in their 80s or 90s…so we have to stay and take care of them…unless we can flee to Southern Wisconsin.
You know who else went to southern Wisconsin?
You should flee to southern Wisconsin and then Vote Democrat like all the others that fled.
*Bonus* You’ll probably get to keep voting democrat in Illinois too!
You should do the Mormon thing and move to a new paradise and then kill anyone that stands in your way.

I loved the urban myth about “something in the air tonight”, but it turned out he was just whining about his earlier divorce. Apparently he has some bad breakups.

More covid deaths in Australia.
Four Newborns in Adelaide have died after being denied lifesaving heart surgery because it wasn’t available in Adelaide, and they couldn’t be transferred interstate because of travel restrictions.
Good thing they took their guns.
The weakest and most defenseless in society are always the first to be sacrificed by the totalitarian state.
Things like this is precisely why the political class wants the serfs disarmed Drake.
When they really fuck people over, they want to make sure they have the monopoly on force to prevent the people from taking action to exact justice.
Starting yesterday, after I post a comment, my window doesn’t go to the comment but the top of the page. Is anyone else seeing this , or should I look for a local cause?

What happened this time?
Long story…short version is tried to set up a citibank saving account and in the process due to their fuckups, they overdrew our checking account. PNC is fortunately cleaning up the mess well, we have literally called Citibank every day since Sunday and they are still messing things up.
That is by design…
They need to make some money, yo…
They are generating fees for PNC (who is waiving them anyway)?
Doomsday larping, Republican style
But in a sense, that’s all window dressing. Our political sensibilities aside, we have a duty to the country that transcends our identities as Republicans or conservatives.
We ask the men and women of our military to do many difficult things and make many hard choices. None of them want to be away from their families. None of them want to witness death and destruction. None of them want to kill. Many of them come back from their service with emotional and physical scars that will not heal.
But they do all this because they place their country before their personal comfort and even their personal safety. No one is going to ask us to die for our country to defend it from Trump. But if you can’t find it in yourself to endure a little emotional discomfort and vote for a Democrat, you are a coward. Don’t thank these men and women for their service when you see them in the grocery store. You are spitting on that service by refusing to defend America at the ballot box while they are doing it on the battlefield.
——-
When you vote, you are choosing between the American democratic system of checks and balances, and its destruction. And, no, that’s not melodramatic. Biden believes in our constitutional system of government and is intent on restoring it to health. Trump believes in an “Article 2″ that gives him the power to do whatever he wants.
Don’t let your Tommy Gun get full of salt water as you’re storming that beach.
Now get out there and save America from the Forces of Darkness!
Yeah! so lets get the candidate talking about getting our soldiers off the battle field out of office! They need to die in the desert, for ‘Murica!
And what does that tell you about Democrats, hmmmm?

I am betting the red/blue unemployment thing is city vs rural. Cities have a larger percentage of stuff that is shut down, I am guessing.
8.3% in August in Houston, down from 9.8% from July, 7.1% in Dallas. Down from 8.4% in July.
Phoenix 5.9% in August. Down from 10.7% in July.
Well the states with the longest and harshest lockdowns have been blue.
Have to keep the economy down to be able to beat ORANGEMANBAD.
I am betting the red/blue unemployment thing is city vs rural.
No, it’s definitely a lockdown thing. Texas and California are similarly sized states, similarly urban/rural, and have been hit similarly hard by the pandemic. California locked down much tighter than Texas, solely because it is a D state instead of an R state, and has unsurprisingly seen much worse employment figures.
You guys astound me with the gifs… Mornin’ Banjos!

Re: The FAME college alternative. It would be interesting to see the 40 year charts instead of just 1-5 years, but obviously those don’t exist yet. But it takes a lot to overcome that early head start, so with any decent discount rate I think FAME would win out.
My Swiss masters brought over the internship/apprenticeship programs from the CH a few years back. They are working quite well. For the things that we want some college for, we have people take two years of a nearby school, while they apprentice with us. They get school part paid for, and earn a small amount as well. FInish and walk into a guaranteed job. They owe us 2 years employment or pay us back. I am not aware of anyone bailing out in less than 2 years yet.
This past Spring I went back to my old college to speak to a criminology class about internship opportunities with our company. Deep down I wanted to say drop the criminology program get a business or computer science degree, it looks a lot sexier on your resume. If you want to go the corporate investigations route you will learn everything on the job anyways.
Encourage them to go work in Investigations/Fraud units in banks…then we steal them after 5 years of experience.
*Raclette eating grin*
And miss out to learn from brave experts!
“Now, here are the mistakes you want to avoid when you are framing up political opponents…”
Our old Swiss neighbors had one son do an apprenticeship as a lab technician and the other son went to university. Both of the kids seemed happy with the situation.
When they were explaining about the system, I thought it sounded pretty good. My wife was aghast that the one son wouldn’t be getting a university diploma. Her Asian mind still believes that the sheepskin is the most important thing you can do.
The Swiss were slightly bemused that we did not have any such apprenticeships here… a little gentle suggesting worked. By gentle suggesting, mean pikes and crossbows.
The reason our Swiss neighbors moved away was because they wanted their sons to spend high school years in the Motherland. They wanted them to be Swiss.
I’ve been amused since then about some of their gripes about Switzerland after living here. For example, the wife sent a long diatribe about trying to get a new vacuum cleaner home from a small store (that charged too much) using public transportation. She missed big box stores here in the US and her minivan.
The best alternative we have (and the one I did) was a co-op program. 5 semesters of work interspersed with the student’s last three years of school, resulting in a 5 year degree that confers a BS and 1.5 years of work experience.
fellow Dragon?
Yes, Dragon. Can’t recommend the co-op program enough. Employers actually start you somewhere above the bottom when you can hit the ground running.
They’re gonna make it to heaven,
They’re gonna learn how to fly high.
A whopping 97 percent of FAME graduates said they made the right decision by participating, and 81 percent of graduates said they would recommend it to a friend.
This stands in stark contrast to some types of traditional higher education. A whopping 75% of humanities majors and 73 percent of social science graduates regretted their education, according to one Payscale survey.
Big if true.
Good morning, Banjos!
Buzzcocks for breakfast! What could be better?
The Google thing isn’t even surprising. Between stories like that, the Social Experiment, Spinquark and about a million podcasts – it’s pretty clear big tech sucks balls. So glad we’ve shared so much with them over the years.
So freeing up people to work results in less unemployment? Who would have guessed?
I can’t even comment on the Hunter Biden thing. So I’ll let Malice do it.

Pay no attention to the union puppeteers behind the curtain
Many freelancers across the nation have been keeping an eye on headlines about AB-5. The law that took effect on Jan. 1, 2020 is an attempt to address inequities in the gig economy including the independent contractor policies of ride-sharing companies such as Lyft and Uber. It assumes that every worker in the state is an employee unless employers can prove otherwise using the rigorous “ABC test” it is based on.
——-
What concerns freelancers in other states, in the meantime, is that Biden has expressed support for the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, tweeting that he would sign it on Sept. 7 and expressing his support in the Biden Plan for Strengthening Worker Organizing, Collective Bargaining and Unions on his campaign website. The PRO Act would use the same three-pronged ABC test as AB-5 to decide who is a freelancer nationwide.
The PRO Act, heavily supported by Democrats, would weaken right-to-work laws in states that let employees opt out of participating in unions and paying union dues. It also gives the National Labor Relations Board the ability to fine companies that retaliate against workers for organizing and give collective bargaining rights to many workers who do not have them now.
Jim Hoffa, the Teamsters general president, noted his support of the legislation in a blog post: “The misclassification of workers is on the rise and too many working Americans are falling through the cracks.”
Some freelancers are so fearful of what would happen if the PRO Act were enacted with the ABC test that this is affecting their choice of candidates. “My vote is 100% on this issue because we are talking about 100% of my income,” says Kim Kavin, a freelancer writer from Long Valley, New Jersey. She co-founded a Facebook group called Fight for Freelancers NJ to oppose a law similar to AB-5 that was proposed in New Jersey but did not make it to a vote. “Especially in the current economic situation we face, I want to keep earning a living.”
Joe Biden, friend of the working man. As long as that worker is an employee of a large corporation who pays his union dues and loves Big Brother.
Vote for Joe Biden, so he can tax you more, kill your job and force you to join a union you don’t want to join.
Why come you deplorables keep voting against your better interests?
G’way! Toobin!
Go fuck yourself.
Say what you want about Qannon, from Epstein to Toobin to Hunter Biden, it sure seems the media is willing to jump on the grenade for any pedophile, or sexual delinquent.
Yep. They dismiss the Podesta pedo stuff as wild conspiracy, but keep getting caught.

The rural/urban divide is much more relevant up here. Makers and takers is a real thing when you have the Cosmos in the the South using the resource rich Northern regions as their personal piggy-bank while at the same time doing everything in their power to shut the whole thing down.

Good news, everyone!
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note climbed to 0.804% while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond rose slightly to 1.612%. Yields move inversely to prices.
The 10-year yield on Tuesday closed above 0.8% for the first time since June. Meanwhile, the long-maturity 30-year rate has broken out of its 200-day moving average, a widely watched momentum indicator.
Yields ascended to four-month highs overnight with the benchmark yield hitting a high of 0.834% amid optimism toward a stimulus agreement in Washington. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Tuesday evening that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had made “good progress” toward a deal on a new coronavirus aid bill, although Meadows warned the two sides “still have a ways to go.”
Oh, goody.

This Hunter Biden business makes me imagine of a cross between The Godfather and It’s a Wonderful Life, where Michael wishes he’d never been born and a guardian angel shows him what would happen if Fredo took over after Sonny died.
That’s a movie I would watch….
Yeah, that could seriously be interesting. Do you have an agent?
It would end a lot like Godfather II only sooner. And instead of Al Neri, it would be Connie pulling the trigger in a scene like Of Mice and Men’s ending.
In the distance you hear Sollozzo and Barzini’s men coming to kill Fredo. (Sollozzo is still alive because Fredo botched the hit by dropping the gun in the toilet where it got stuck. He came back out after a half an hour with his sleeves completely soaked and sweating profusely. He sat down and finished dinner. Later, he told pops they really did have the best veal in the city.)
Fredo: Tell me about the hookers again, Connie.
Connie (sobbing): When we get set up in Vegas, there’ll be so many hookers, Fredo. Why, you could bang ’em two at a time.
Fredo: Two at a time. And banana daiquiris?
Connie: That’s right, Fredo. All the daiquiris you could ever dr.. (POW!)
There are levels there, Man.
Explicit Photos of Minor in Hunter Biden’s Laptop Were of a Relative — and He Was in Some of the Photos WITH HER
Incest and child molestation at the same time? I don’t know if Fredo could have pulled that off.

One thing seems odd to me:
Who has text messages on their computer?
Does Apple sync the phone and computer? (Not an Apple guy)
iMessage on Apple copies messages to every one of your registered devices whether it be iPad, iMac, iPhone, iButtPlug, iCrackPipe…
/raises hand
I use Google Voice which allows access to text and calls through the PC, as well as Google Messages, which you can set up to text from your computer. Having a full keyboard is a benefit when typing messages.
Maybe they’re loose with the definition of “text” and it means Skype or something.
iMessages on my Macbook makes it easier to send texts while I am working. Usually dumb stuff about getting groceries or whatnot — also slightly easier to type on the keyboard.
White. Trash.
Shit like this is what really makes the political elite establishment, but especially the modern left, hate bad orange man. He exposes the fact that they are not just inept when they are in charge – never achieving anything – but that they are fucking liars with no desire to fix anything that can be used as a means to constantly demand more power.
I think it offends the establishment right more. Those assholes have made entire careers and fortunes out of doing nothing.
And they were hoping to keep doing nothing but scam people into perpetuity. After all, the morons that would keep electing them to deal with the problems this mendacious political class created in the first place and had no intentions of fixing, would never be able to catch on. Then this fucking annoying narcissist orange guy wins and proceeds to get shit done, in the most hostile bureaucratic system ever to be faced by a leader, boasts about it (and that really is what pisses them off) and makes them all look like the fucking inept and criminal assholes they are. All their dreams of remaining on top, no matter how many of the syndromes of inbreeding their class gets, go up in smoke. And that is why they are mad.
And I would guess that the fact that OMB is rich beyond even their dreams – but not dependent in the least on his office for that – must be just one additional twist of the blade to them all. He has it all without playing their game and jumps in to prove that he can do the actual job better than they have a concept for.
And that is something the credentialed elite crowd will not tolerate. It is an existential threat to their shystering.
Another dying wish of an ancient white woman that needs to be respected!!!
Bless her heart…
Sounds like I need to find where they scattered her ashes to let her know her request won’t be honored…
At least I won’t be pissing on her grave like leftists would do to anyone if the scenario was reversed.
Idk why you would be thinking about politics on your death bed.
Because you’re an insufferable cunt.
My guess is that she wanted to die so that her insufferable family would leave her alone about politics. They were probably standing at her death bed threatening to kill the kitties and puppies if she does not issue that statement. Poor woman.
She was probably a Trump Voter, and then the wretched kids who issued the Obit used it as a way to try to atone for the wrongs of their mother.
Probably the same type parasite who would walk around her house dividing up her stuff and putting tags on them 10 years before her health failed.
So. If the African American community gives Trump a big enough boost to win, how many racist think pieces will the left come out with?
How the fuck would we know seeing as we haven’t any “lived experiences”?
THERE IS A PANDEMIC OF UNCLE TOMMINISM!

They aren’t really black.
Watch colorism start being the hot topic.
You see the shit they are throwing at 50 cent because after seeing the Biden/Harris tax plan he decided bad orange man was a better choice since he didn’t want to become 20 cent?
I have not seen that, no.
High yeller for OrangeMan?
My bestie constantly gets shit for being high yellow.
My dad got a job working as a janitor during college because they thought he was high yellow.
I will have to congratulate Trump if he accomplishes that – busting LBJ’s prediction. It is one thing to break one political party, but a Trump victory will destroy two of them.
Well put Lawyer man.
If the dems lose an appreciable amount of black and hispanic voters, it’s all over for them on their current identity platform. They should have stuck with free shit. They aren’t the sharpest tools.
As I’ve said before, I wish all of these identity groups would just intermarry to the extent that no one any longer knows what identity anyone else is as far as race is concerned. I was sick of race card politics a long time ago, now it’s just getting over the top offensive.
Why ever would your brother’s widow, whom you are banging, be upset?
The alleged text messages said:
She told my therapist I was sexually inappropriate with [name redacted when she says that I face time naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time. When she was present she said that [redacted] never said anything like that but the bottom line is that she I create and caused a very unsafe environment for the kids. If it stopped there I would let it go but then [redacted] friend [redacted] sober coach.
It’s enlightening that Beau’s grieving widow was banging her crack-smoking BIL with full knowledge of his illicit drug use and pervy behavior towards underage girls.
That whole family is a giant train wreck.
As stated previously, there is no way that this wasn’t going on before Bro was worm-food. Take that to the fucking bank.
^^^ this. I know someone who knew Beau. He seemed to like him. So maybe he was the normal one.
I’ve heard rumors that Joe likes to skinny dip with his Secret service protection around, and we know how he is whith women. So if the hunter stuff is true, we know where he learned it.
I’m not saying long-term child abuse, but…you know what, I am saying long-term child abuse.
Oh Dear. The big tell here is that Hunter has a “sober coach”. This is a profoundly troubled man. I drink and smoke too much but never in my life have I required someone to dog me and knock the beer can out of my hand. This guy’s Dad set him up for life. I dunno, Oak trees and acorns, I suppose.

What a fucking joke. These fuckwits ever hear of the Streisand Effect?
They firmly believe, or I think they firmly hope now that this blew up in their face, that the effect won’t make a difference until after it is too late (Biden wins). And if Biden then gets impeached for this criminality, that’s all fine, since this will prevent them from having to do something really ugly to get us president Kommo-La…
Morning, Banjos

Bored now
President Donald Trump abruptly ended a taped interview at the White House with “60 Minutes” reporter Lesley Stahl on Tuesday, then taunted the veteran CBS News journalist in tweets.
“I am pleased to inform you that, for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I am considering posting my interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, PRIOR TO AIRTIME! This will be done so that everybody can get a glimpse of what a FAKE and BIASED interview is all about,” the president tweeted. He also called the interview a “terrible Electoral Intrusion” in another tweet.
He then posted a short video making light of Stahl not wearing a mask while talking with producers for the show while at the White House, which a spokesman for CBS News said was taken immediately after the interview. She was wearing a mask when she entered the building and up to the start of the interview.
——-
One source told NBC News that the president and Stahl spoke on camera for more than 40 minutes. The president, during what the source called a “natural breaking point in the conversation,” told Stahl, “I think you have what you need.”
OMG how crude, immature and misogynist.
Whycome him no kiss feet of veteran journalismers?
Imagine a reporter walking into the Eisenhower, JFK, or Reagan White House and acting like such an entitled asshole.
They didn’t need to, because there was no way for anyone to out their partisanism or even find alternative information to see they had an agenda…
The media was always partisan (and practically always aligned with the enemy of the people): they just had an easier time of hiding whom they were rooting for and helping out.
They also didn’t do that shit because the reporter would be summarily fired after Ike or JFK got off the phone with the President of the network.
acting like such an entitled asshole
That the cunte that moderated the town hall interview did not end up whisked away to a non-disclosed location proves that leftist fever-dreams about Trump’s fascism are wrong.
Given the level of Stahl’s reporting on technology, I am pretty sure that the only way she will be aware of Trump’s tweets is if one of her interns prints them out and then tapes them to her ’90s era pager.
Back in the late ’90s she had a segment on people being able to manipulate email headers to make it look like it came from someone else. An IT guy sent her an email that showed up as “Bill Clinton – Whitehouse” and she was absolutely stunned. She spent the entire story making it sound like an existential threat to civilization that you couldn’t trust email.
All her technology reporting since then has been worse. Why would anyone expect her to be any better reporting on other subjects?
What crazy days these are when the Democrat candidate has to lie about union support.
To the rescue!
Obama vastly preferred governing to campaigning, his friends have long known, so they believed him when he said he looked forward to watching from the sidelines. But those plans were tossed aside by the election of President Donald Trump and his first term in office.
Obama is poised to return to the campaign trail here on Wednesday, making his first in-person appearance in his effort to help Joe Biden in the waning days of his bid for the White House. If the election of Trump was a reaction to the Obama presidency, the November race offers another opportunity to take the country’s measure of the men.
“Former presidents tend not to delve too deeply into politics and certainly not the politics of their successors,” David Axelrod, a longtime adviser to Obama, said in an interview. “I think that was his plan, but Trump changed that plan.”
The campaign stop by Obama is the first in a handful of visits to battleground states where voting is already underway, where Obama will try and rally support for Biden, particularly trying to boost enthusiasm among Black men, Latinos and younger voters.
“He doesn’t view it as a personal grudge match with Trump,” said Axelrod, a CNN contributor. “He views it as an existential matter for the country and for democracy.”
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
So if a ton of people show up to that rally doesn’t it really make Biden’s other rallies look bad (because they attracted 10’s of people at best)?
Or if Biden supporters really are such good citizens that they will also stay away in droves from Obama’s speech because of concern over the Rona, can Barak’s ego survive?
I’m surprised he is going out into the public. Some rogue reporter might ask him about Joe’s corruption or his involvement in spying on Trump.
Some rogue reporter might ask him about Joe’s corruption or his involvement in spying on Trump.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! That’s hilarious!
He views it as an existential matter for the country and for democracy.
Our lord and savior.
If I were a DNC strategist, I would have insisted that Biden publicly promise Obama some high level cabinet position so that he could basically be the shadow president with Biden as a figurehead. Almost every Obama supporter I know was bemoaning that he had to leave after two terms and floated the idea of eliminating that restriction.
And instead, Joe’s stupid DNA-based promises got them Kamala, who they didn’t want, whom nobody in their own primaries voted for, and who’s so off-putting that she cancels out the “benign good old Uncle Joe” objective. And you gotta know Hillary hates her very existence.
Something something constitutional norms.

One of my friends from high school works in that area in Facebook (his focus, last I heard, was on self-harm detection). Brilliant analytical mind. Emotional maturity hasn’t changed much since high school. Living in silicon valley really doesn’t help.
Last time I visited, he called me racist before I had even set my bags down. Turns out that making favorable observations about other cultures (such as the fact that Indians drink hot tea in the summer to feel less hot, thus no need to put my tea over ice) is racist. I haven’t really talked to him since then.
I’ve heard that before, and it always struck me as stupid. The reasoning for that is that drinking a hot beverage makes you sweat which cools you off. But what if you don’t want to sweat?? Seems like the nastiness of sweat is perhaps the main reason that people don’t like the heat.
You could replicate that by getting a $3 spray bottle and misting yourself with water periodically.
But what if you don’t want to sweat??
Look at this guy with his not sweating privilege!
I have hyperhidrosis and sweat even when I’m cold. And that sucks.
If you’ve ever been to India you would understand that “not sweating” is not an option.

Yeah, should have been brass.
I will never own a Glibs coffee cup because it is a kiss of death that is second only to Hillary’s B-day wishes.
All my coffee cups are from companies I worked at or consulted at. All of them are either out of business or have horrible Glass Door rankings.
People that come to my house for coffee that I have worked with before think it is the greatest collection ever.
Maybe I will send you some coffee cups from my competitors.
“Which makes the claims made by Giuliani of there being pictures of underage and elicit texts much more interesting.”
I can’t keep up. Why does Rudy have Hunter’s hard drive?
Hunter Dropped the laptop off to be fixed due to water damage.
Never paid the tech, never picked it up.
Tech looked at contents.
Tech made copies.
FBI took laptop.
Tech sent copy to Rudy.
OK. I don’t think the underage girls thing is important. Hunter isn’t running for office.
The Burisma thing is huge because it does involve someone running for president. But nothing will come of it, the FBI will wipe it with a cloth and the media will bury it.
It’s important if the FBI actively ignored it.
They won’t ignore it. They’ll wipe it with a cloth.
They were planning to use it to blackmail President Biden if that came to be.
^^^ This. The FBI likes having some dirt to control the president with.
this is where I am with this shit. None of the russian shit would have gone anywhere if Trump had just gone along with Comey and the intelligence communities business as usual.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner.
The tech and Rudy have copies. They can’t get away with that this time.
Fake hard drives!
The FBI has the hard drive. Steve Bannon has a copy. Bannon is smarter than Giuliani and just uses him as the messenger.
Isn’t Bannon is jail?
Nope – he was set up for embezzlement charges regarding the stretch of wall he raised money to fund. The charges sound really easy to prove or disprove and if I had to bet, they go away in a month or so.
Ah, I thought he was the mastermind behind that scheme. All I head was that Bannon is going to jail for 50 years, or something like that.
I went to CNN just now and did ctrl+f “hunter.”

Why would anyone expect her to be any better reporting on other subjects?
She’s a veteran journalist, dude. People (extremely important people, mind you) tell her things, which she dutifully transcribes and repeats to the unwashed masses. That’s how they know what to
thinkfeel.“The struggling Michigan bar owner at the center of a Joe Biden campaign ad is actually a wealthy tech investor whose startup was seeded by a large family inheritance.”
So, what is Biden going to do for this poor guy? Send antifa and blm to burn his bar down? Or just lock things down so hard nationally that he doesn’t have a prayer to remain in business?
I love how they pretend the lockdown by a Democrat governor is somehow Trump’s fault.
Pretend? Maybe they believe their own bulshit. I think they are just cynical and think people are that stupid to believe it is all Trumps fault
This isn’t pretend it’s extortion. What this ad is really stating is you caused the lockdowns because you might vote trump and if you stupid rubes don’t listen and vote D the beatings will continue.
That BS seems to be working. Michigan is almost a leans Democrat instead of a swing state. You’d think with their governor and what she’s done, it would turn hard red.
The only people I really don’t get is New York and Cali they were going blue no matter what, why nuke your economy to total slag?

We are learning that very many people don’t care about freedom or the rule of law. Governors Whitmer, Newsom, Wolf among others have shown that we welcome dictators.
Just keep me safe.
The ASU football player ad is the same. He blames Trump for the Pac12 not playing football.
The Sullenberger one is the best. It spends the first half of the ad reminding you who the hell Sully Sullenberger was.
Its trumps fault that the Pac 12 is the only power 5 conference not playing? Yeah go fuck yourself. You all sucked anyways, so it wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the championship.

Trump bungled the Covid response so bad, she had no other choice?
So, what is Biden going to do for this poor guy? Send antifa and blm to burn his bar down? Or just lock things down so hard nationally that he doesn’t have a prayer to remain in business?
He’s going to give him interest free loans, which will later be forgiven, in exchange for unwavering fealty to the Democratic Party and Big Nannyism in perpetuity.

By what measure?
By size of the asshole of a Brit law prof?
I think the easiest way to put paid to this is to ask how long has Britain been operating under an unwritten constitution.
The arguments over that would show that there have been some major fluctuations in Britain’s system of government over the years.
Some rogue reporter might ask him about Joe’s corruption or his involvement in spying on Trump.
Stop it. You’re killing me.
‘Other reporters laugh at the only serious question’: Biden walks away when asked about Hunter’s emails
They laughed because they know better than anyone that he won’t answer any real questions.
Today will sure be a boring MSM Day of Apology. I bet all the cable news networks will be nothing but apology after apology from all the journalists who screamed that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
Of course politicians like Schiff who claimed that they had seen intelligence proving it was Russian collusion will also be demanding air time to set the record straight.
I can safely assume that if Schiff is saying something, it’s a bald-faced lie.
He’s remarkably lacking in any personal dignity.

Took a break. Baby on the way and needed to get his melon right, I think.
He popped back in the other day and promised a return.
To some this setup may be odd or confusing, but my book’s conclusion is that unwritten constitutions can perform just as well as written ones, and that Britain’s unwritten constitution may be just as good as America’s esteemed document. Indeed, for all their grandeur, written constitutions do not produce better democratic outcomes and can sometimes entrench significant mistakes, rather than help facilitate resolutions to complex problems.
Rule by unconstrained whim of the mob, it is, then. What could possibly go wrong?
In the British case, it’s more rule by unconstrained whim of the judiciary.
And neighborhoods patrolled by the Sharia police.
Not to worry. They’ve rectified that flaw.

I’m getting a little nervous about a potential Lockdown 2.0. I’ve been following Indiana’s stats and there is definitely an uptick in deaths (not just cases). A nearby school went to online learning because they had a dozen cases or so, and my kid’s school is reporting more cases daily so I’m guessing she’ll be online within a week. Also, Indiana was recently added to Chicago’s “shit list” of states that require a 14 day quarantine. Is this just Indiana, or is this happening in other states?
Maybe steve1989 has a good idea with all those long shelf life MREs… and conditioning himself to eat them expired.
The numbers will not matter. It will all be political. Trump wins and the dem mayors and governors will double down on lockdowns to punish you and Trump.
Biden wins, you’re getting a hard lockdown and travel bans on day one to punish the deplorables.
I have mixed opinion on that. Holcomb is really scared about his election chances and I think he know a lock down will end hi reign. However, he LOVES his power boner. I think he might wait until the day after election day, and win or lose, institute massive new restrictions.
Minnesoda is having a lot of new cases and that is causing our gov and his cronies to have the vapors. They’d love to go tweak the dials more for a lockdown, but they don’t quite dare because of the elections.
Our deaths appear to be trending slightly higher, but then you realize that the start of the uptick was also when they announced that they are using a new test on the deceased
I’ve never seen “”case” defined but numbers of cases are reported everywhere every day. What is a case?
1. Person with symptoms testing positive and requiring treatment?
2. Asymptomatic person testing positive for virus?
3. Person with antibodies?
Or what?
As I understand it, some states have been counting all three of those as a new case even if it’s the same person.
October is the beginning of the viral respiratory season. Deaths ALWAYS uptick as the temperature starts to drop. What’s different is now they are testing fractions of a virus to determine positivity so as to put the death at the hands of The orange man. There is no pandemic. Do not wear a mask. Fuck this world.
Whelp, I’m out for the day. Have fun and keep the blood pressure low. Quesadillas this morning so there will be a ring of fire no matter what that propagandist Degrasse-Tyson says. SMOD 2020!

#MeToobin???
Means you like to spank the monkey/choke the chicken/bop the baloney/flog the dolphin and so on, but on camera. Preferably during some work meeting…
Is that the hashtag you use when you reveal all the times you masturbated in public. On “accident” of course.
Brian Stelter is a Moron and a disgusting pig.
I hate that Toobin guy but yeah I think it was just an accident.
He accidentally started masturbating during a work meeting?
Clearly. He didn’t realize the camera was on and people had been taking a break.
You know how it is. Youre in the middle of a 3 hour zoom video conference. You get a 10 minute refreshment and bathroom break. You decide that you can refresh without the bathroom, so you grab the pork roll and start going at it. This is totally a normal thing, definitely not sexually deviant.
I can completely empathize, yes.
Dude, they were wargaming out a scenario where Trump lost and was frog marched out of the Whitehouse!
What kind of monster could resist fapping when thinking about such a glorious thing?
How do you accidentally masturbate at work?
Or anywhere, for that matter?
Kinda like Lee Harvey Oswald was taking a moment to check the sight on his deer rifle when somehow – inexplicitly – President Kennedy was riding in a car exactly where Oswald happened to be aiming.
Being on camera, maayyybee, but wanking during the meeting? Nope.
Yes. It was clearly an accident that his camera was on and he didn’t realize or remember.
No, he thought that muting the call would turn off the video.
Ladies and gentlemen, our best and brightest.
The “accident” was getting caught. I don’t think he accidentally unzipped and accidentally had his penis in his hand and accidentally started stroking it, when all he was trying to do was put more sugar in his coffee and his hand just slipped.
of course.
How do you accidentally start jerking it during a work meeting? Regardless if the cameras on or not.
I just love that everybody thinks the big problem is that he “accidentally” left the camera on, not that he was jacking it during a work meeting.
Not a big deal. I’m jacking it right now.
Good for her.

If trump wins the beating will continue. Although I’m open to new world order shit at this point so who knows. It’s clear to me the dems would rather rule hell than serve in heaven as the saying goes.

Servants of the Wankh is a 1969 science fiction adventure novel by American writer Jack Vance, the second in the tetralogy Tschai, Planet of Adventure. It tells of the efforts of the sole survivor of a human starship destroyed by an unknown enemy to return to Earth from the distant planet Tschai.
The editors of the Vance Integral Edition restored the author’s preferred title for the first book: The Chasch. They also altered the second to The Wannek and replaced ‘Wankh’ with ‘Wannek’ throughout the text. Vance was convinced to change the name after being informed of the meaning of the word ‘wank’ in British and Commonwealth slang.[1]

The FBI is in possession of the laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden which contained emails revealing his foreign business dealings, including contacts in Ukraine and China, two senior administration officials told Fox News Tuesday.
The FBI declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.
Prediction: Nothing else happens.
I know, I’m really going out on a limb here.
I think people are missing important details here.
Such as Joe’s direct corruption. He got payouts for several of these deals.
I’m not discounting it. I just think nothing will ever be done about it. There will be no consequences.
Hunter Biden had already apologized for the apperance of impropriety back in February, what more consequences could you want / Brian Stetler
“This is a smear campaign against my family.”
Biden said it and it was printed by serious journalists. The end.
Even if not bribery – this is a pretty good case of FOREIGN EMOLUMENTS!!eleventy!!
It would be interesting to try to correlate the payments that are outlined in those emails with bank statements and tax returns.
Why hasn’t the AG in Delaware demanded Joe’s tax returns and started an investigation into potential fraud?
The specter of real jail time for tax fraud would be an interesting motivator for someone to flip and provide state’s evidence.
Whay hasn’t any prosecutor followed up on the many, many leads to serious crimes apparently contained on that computer? Crack smoking, prostitution, statutory rape, child porn, bribery, money laundering, tax fraud, the list goes on and on. Hunter Biden’s entire adult life has basically been a crime spree, in broad daylight, yet he has never even been investigated.
Because People Who Matter don’t get investigated, much less prosecuted. That’s why.

Anti-mask win. Manchester, NH Board of Alderman reject city-wide mask ordinance but approve an ordinance requiring masks in city-owned buildings. Yes, I’m calling that a win.
Aldermen voted Tuesday to reject a mask ordinance that would have required people to wear face coverings in public and government buildings in the state’s largest city.
The vote was 5-8, with aldermen Kevin Cavanaugh, Will Stewart, Pat Long, Tony Sapienza, and Dan O’Neil in favor. Opposed were Jim Roy, Ross Terrio, Mike Porter, Barbara Shaw, Bill Barry, Normand Gamache, Keith Hirschmann, and Joe Kelly Levasseur.
Aldermen did approve a mask requirement for all city buildings, drafted by attorney Greg Muller of the city solicitor’s office. That vote was 9-4, with Cavanaugh, Stewart, Long, Sapienza, Terrio, Porter, Barry, Gamache, and O’Neil. Opposed were Roy, Shaw, Hirschmann, and Levasseur.
Is this just Indiana, or is this happening in other states?
“Cases” (and hospitalizations, and deaths) are up pretty much everywhere, according to the news.
Guess what- “defer” not same as “prevent”. So-called curve flattening does not necessarily change the area under the curve, it just shifts it along the x-axis.
All the lockdowns did was push infections back. It did what it was allegedly supposed to do before the goalposts got moved all over the place. They are currently somewhere out in the parking lot, with “defeat the disease by hiding from it” on them.
I don’t know. The most keeps saying they’re up but the graph looks pretty flat. it’s too bad that it’s pleateau’d recently, but I’m not seeing being spikes.
*the media keeps saying
*I’m not seeing big spikes
Scoring goals is patriarchal as is keeping score and winning and losing. Also, being fully terrified of both life and death, we must have an existence of free from fear.
Can we conclude that the virus is defective, or is it too early yet? It was supposed to peak the first week of November.
Lots of co-workers in Belgium. They’re “spiking”. Oblivious to the notion that the spike is BECAUSE they locked down so hard that it didn’t take its natural course (like here).
I was going to reply, buy 91-divoc has changed their data up.
1) they are now graphing per 100k instead of per 1MM.
2) it looks like they changed data sources, with some data that has been cleaned better in certain place.
Having done no research at all other than what I heard on the radio yesterday. In Indiana Monday was the 7th highest ever one day total of reported cases. The highest since *I think they said* March. So while up, its a clear diversion. It’s not the highest, but they want to report on it that way. i didn’t get the impression from the opinion radio piece that rates were high at all. . . Again, no research was done into this, and I could be wrong. I, however, dont care and want things open and maskless regardless.

It appears to be an explicit recognition of private choice vs public diktat. In our current circumstances, that looks like a win.

That’s just sad, Twitter is a cancer that brings out the worst in people.
There was a reason that momma used to say “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all”
“An unusually brazen falsehood. Which the media ignores.
Schumer says 20+ Republicans won’t spend “a dime more” on Covid, literally AT THE SAME TIME……..the Dems are filibustering $500 BILLION in new Covid emergency relief.
52 Republicans are supporting.
ZERO Dems.”

Except, I guess, Wolf Blitzer.
I saw, for the first time, a Biden sign in my town. It wasn’t an ordinary Biden sign.
It read:
“OBAMA – BIDEN”
Random observation:
The Indianapolis Star is all aboard the Biden train.
Yesterday they had a story about Trump vs Biden on the environment. Trump has gutted the EPA. They have been rendered completely ineffectual, and if Trump is allowed to remain in office, everybody will die.
Today’s story, which I have not read, is guns and abortions. I expect it to be women will be killed by the thousands in drive by shootings as they are being held in Trump Organization rape baby factories.
That reminds me: I need to confirm my appointment at the Southern Arizona Rape Baby Factory.
Never underestimate the Leftist talent for making spurious connections.
After Sandy Hook, I saw an article from some “investigative” “journalist” where it was argued that gun companies are in leagues with corporate healthcare firms to “dump guns in the inner city” so that the hospitals can make money treating all the shooting victims. The grand piece of evidence: the author found some mutual fund that contained stocks from a gun company and healthcare firms (among the hundreds of other stocks that are on the typical mutual fund).
“Jeffrey Toobin Can’t Be The Only Person Masturbating On Work Zoom Calls
How hasn’t this happened already?
I mean, who among us, you know?”
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/scaachikoul/jeffrey-toobin-zoom-incident-new-yorker
WTF??
I just don’t get why Jeffery Toobin, of all people, is the one they are twisting around trying to protect? LIke is the guy some holy grail of Leftist Strategy? What does he possibly add that they need him around so bad?
I don’t think Toobin is the target, its leftist normalizing abhorent behavior of the protected classes.
*ding ding ding*
True it pairs nicely with the “Hunter Biden Pedo” allegations.
Gonna have to agree with the leftists here.
Jacking it during a 3 hour meeting is a perfectly reasonable way to pass the time.
“You’re going to tell me you’ve never taken a quick three minutes midday to crank your hog? To mash your meat? To butter your own muffin? There’s so little joy left in our lives; are we not at least owed the time to toot our own horns?”
At work? No.
Someone spends too much time watching training videos at Pornhub.
Crazy theory:
The Toobin story very conveniently sucked all the media oxygen out of the room just when the Biden family crime spree was getting a little traction. Accident? Or did Toobin take one for the team?
Sucked all the media oxygen assumes that they would have given any air time to the biden emails. They wouldn’t have. This is just convinent excuse.
Not bad, but nah. There’s no way someone as narcissistic as Toobin would ‘take one for the team’. In his mind, he IS the team.
That’s not satire?
I don’t think so.
Jeez, what a bunch of prudes you people are.
I’m sort of wondering at the level of outrage at this.
If he had turned his camera off there wouldn’t have been any “victim” of his behavior. I get that he should take some flack for this, but I think that the calls for his head are a bit much.
I get that the guy is a garbage person, but still principles before principals?
Also, I haven’t spent any time reading any details, but how did the other people on the call not yell at him the second that he unzipped?
I think that the calls for his head are a bit much.
I don’t. Any normie jacking it on camera during work would be terminated with prejudice within minutes. And rightly so, IMO. Colossal failure of judgment, sexual harassment, actual crime committted (indecent exposure).
At this point, there are only two ways to get walked out the door without lengthy termination process: Sexual Harassment and Physical Violence.
This is absolutely cause for immediate termination.
I cannot believe how many people defend this. He should be fired, now. Not suspended, not taking time off, Fired. Thanks RC for saying it.
oh i’m ok with firing him. I mean how does one even professionally recover from that in his job?
He’s done.
It’s just that I feel for the poor stupid schmuck. He was on one of those time wasting 3 hour meetings that does nothing. The main issue is what do you do afterwards?
poor dumb ass.
I think the outrage is building around the “what you don’t rub one out while on Zoom?” his peers are pushing. Your time, camera off, have at it
As to the other attendees, my guess shock or it isnt the first time they have seen hime do it OR given the context of the call it was supposed to be more of a bit that Toobin decided needed to be actualized.
Jeez, so that’s what goes into artisanal mayonnaise.
“Girl, 8, pulls a 1,500-year-old sword from a lake in Sweden”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45753455
So she’s their queen now?
Two year old story.
She is the one that decided Sweden would not lock down. It’s good to be queen.
“Two year old story.”
Sorry, I missed that.
Still pretty cool. There aren’t enough well-preserved ancient swords in the world.
Look the distribution of swords by watery swamp tarts is no basis for the form of government.
Can it be worse than having everyone pick between candidates selected by corrupt idiots?
Right! That is a demonetization for you!
How dare you incite violence?
No, she’s supposed to pick the king.
Isn’t that an old story from 2018BT (before times)
“Dog trainer files lawsuit in Wisconsin blaming alt-right conspiracy for increasing fear, suppressing travel, hurting business
A New Jersey dog trainer has turned to Wisconsin’s federal court to sue elements of what his lawsuit describes as a vast alt-right conspiracy to violate his civil rights, and those of many others fearful of the groups’ armed intimidation and past violence….
“Motivated by racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic beliefs, their overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy deprived Mr. Bellocchio of his right to be free from violence, intimidation, and harassment, as well as prevented him from utilizing his right of freedom to travel,” the complaint reads.
“This violence is rooted in racial animus — the anti-Semitism and hatred towards Black Americans, in particular, is well documented — sentiments they couch in language such as ‘Western Values’ and ‘Make America Great Again.’ This is, of course, in addition to the vitriolic misogyny and hatred of anyone who is not a straight, white, cisgender man.””
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/10/20/lawsuit-blames-wisconsin-alt-right-conspiracy-lost-business/5992982002/
Who wants to do business with a litigious hysteric?
I bet under a “loser pays” system, this asshole would never have filed a suit.
So the Republican Party and the Trump campaign are racist, xenophobic, misogynist alt-right conspirators. Got it.
Wisconsin blaming alt-right conspiracy for increasing fear, suppressing travel, hurting business
The governor is a Democrat.
the anti-Semitism and hatred towards Black Americans, in particular, is well documented — sentiments they couch in language such as ‘Western Values’ and ‘Make America Great Again.’
Surely you can provide supporting documentation.
Paranoid schizophrenia is nothing to laugh at.
That dog trainer is sure one whiny bitch!
You future under the green new deal:
MidAmerican Energy idles 46 wind turbines after blade woes
An Iowa-based electric utility says it has idled nearly four dozen power-generating wind turbines after huge blades broke off of two turbines in recent weeks.
The Des Moines Register reports that MidAmerican Energy has paused the use of 46 turbines it has identified as having similar blades, which are about 177 feet long and weigh 18,000 pounds.
Now there’s a horror movie plot to play with.

SEAN! I did everything in my power to keep you off the pole!
So writers, who are integral component of websites can never be freelancers? Editors, or cartoonists or bands…
Shouldn’t it be whether or not the women agreed to these terms (at the outset) that determines the status? You know, the fucking contract?
Look man, you sound like a far right, western values, make america great kind of conspirator.
That’s crazy talk.
And I’m sure there are some people who just enjoy paying a cover charge for overpriced drinks, bad lighting, bad music, and questionable decor.

Huh.
Their network, their rules. Stupid but whatever.
Unemployment rate 60% higher in blue states.
It’s almost like authoritarianism is inversely related to prosperity.
