The very idea of seeing THIS on tv....AGAIN... makes me want to puke.
Back to the future, back to the future.

Those freak show hearings of his that's always riddled with false narratives, outright lies and cringe worthy D list acting performances is as meaningful as watching an episode of Gilligan's Island seeing as if they're so infested with totally partisan parlor tricks and being so blatantly devoid of incontrovertible facts and supporting evidence.

I know its not the same country and hence not the same party, but they are still 'conservatives' so it's amusing that Braverman was almost immediately reappointed to her job as Home Secretary after resigning due to pretty much the same issue - using an insecure personal email account for sending classified documents.
As an important note Clinton never knowingly sent classified information over this server. The ‘scandal’ here was entirely about unclassified info.

Actually I might be over-egging it in saying Braverman sent 'classified' material. It was variously described as "confidential" and "market-sensitive information", IIRC. Which she sent to people outside the government (and, by accident, to someone not even an MP).
Absolutely ridiculous though that her subsequent "resignation" lasted less than a week, before she was reappointed back to the same job.

Well if it is any consolation senior Trump White House officials immediately began doing exactly what Clinton was accused of and worse and nobody here cared either.

This is of course because nobody cared to begin with but because conservatives pretended to care the media spent a year or two pretending to believe them. Once Trump got into office conservatives stopped pretending to care and it all went away.

The facts are, the laptop was always real. Biden won several states by less than 1% of votes. Polls show that some people would have voted differently had they had known about it.

Big tech and the media lied about it being real, and hid it from the American people. Effectively swaying the election. Just because Biden won, doesnt mean his supporters should not be upset that something like that was done. If one side can do it, the other can down the road. This should never be allowed to happen again.

Like so many other things that turned out to be true, 2 years ago voicing an opinion about the laptop made you a Russian stooge, or conspiracy theorist. Shutting down the truth and conversation about it. Really just pathetic, many here right along with that narrative, and still trying it.

If it was so real, why haven’t Giuliani and Faux News actually released the details then? Like if the justice department is so corrupt and refused to do anything about this “evidence” just release it out to the public then. As if they care for due process

I like how right wingers act like the existence of the laptop is somehow a crime or something. If there was anything on there it would have come out already unless you think Rudy and Tucker are secretly leftists and are hiding all the contents.

While 'big media' didn't lie about it being real and that's a shameful lie on your part that you should apologize for, all that aside let's look at the facts about the laptop.

1) It came from an unnamed individual
2) dropped off at a blind man's shop who couldn't verify anyone's identity
3) The entire world knew that Biden was the target of Russian attempts to aid Trump's re-election
4) the source, Rudy Giuliani, is a widely known liar
5) Giuliani refused to submit the materials for verification, expressly stating that he was concerned news organizations would disprove them

My favorite part is @Ackmed continues to say that Trump's campaign didn't collude with Russia even when TRUMP'S OWN SON released emails explicitly stating they were colluding with the Russian government but questioning this laptop story is somehow bad.

This shows what sort of insane media sphere he inhabits. I feel sorry for you, you've lost all touch with reality.

it gets tiring listening to republicans claim that democrats need to take seriously republicans' pretend concerns.
Apparently in other contexts our good friend Ackmed found an unwillingness to submit materials for verification by third parties to be highly suspicious. His skepticism seems to have waned since 2017 though, lol.

Why would people have voted differently since we don't know what's on it?

Also, since Rudy had it for a while, if the contents were so damning to Joe Biden why didn't he just release it himself?

This thing will wind up to be nothing. It will be far less then the 2B Jared Kushner got from the Saudi's which was Trump's first visit as POTUS.

Hey, you know, I was digging through the dump the other day, and I found a Laptop!

Ivanka Trumps laptop!

I now have absolutely undeniable PROOF that Ivanka Trump cooks babies and the rest of the family eats them! 3 TIMES A DAY!!!!!!! ABSOLUTE UNDENIABLE PROOF!!! AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY DOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE EATING!!!

Anybody who claims otherwise is part of a vast worldwide conspiracy to cover up the truth!

It's their way of turning falsehoods into weapons of mass disinformation. The Repubs don't need to prove their lies are the truth. All they want and need is to get their members repeating those lies among themselves and voila, those lies become another established talking point of which to bludgeon the Democrats with, completely devoid of any factual proof, of which they were never concerned about from the get-go.

They need shit to fling at the walls to keep their emotions enraged, to keep their seething hate and fear of their enemies boiling away, to retain their reason for existing, always needing more fuel for the fire. Flogging dead mules gives them emotional release of the pent up angst their leadership have goaded them into. They want to make the Democrat party simply disappear, thus creating the one party rule that dictatorships like Russia, China, North Korea et al ram down the throats of their people.

The party can't pass legislation that directly helps the middle class and the poor because they'd be behaving like the Democrats would, thus removing the distinction they must have in order to denigrate and dehumanize the opposition with. The Repub's political purpose in life is to represent the interests of the corporate giants at the expense of their working class and poor and the totally amazing thing about that is they've convinced their commoners to ignore that fact of life and keep voting against their own best interests. Simply fucking dystopian in all its glory, yet there they are suffering for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

And if not for Comey going public with an email investigation just before the election Hillary would have won. Seems to me conservatives always try this gotcha bs.

OK, the contents of the iCloud hack, er, "laptop" have been posted online for fucking MONTHS now. Please go and show us what among the data there is the smoking gun that proves Joe Biden committed ANY crimes.

Buttery Males! Ever wonder why none of Clinton's emails were ever presented as any kind of smoking gun? Because just as in this case, all you need is innuendo. That's it.

Now go. You have work to do and claims to prove.

Claims made without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. The burden is yours.

To this day it amazes me that the US was sent down such a dark path because Anthony Weiner couldn’t stop sexting young girls.

Sure there were plenty of other causes but absent him getting busted again right at that time I think Clinton would have won comfortably.
