There are different issues: - the laptop. As you mention, they have admitted it was his laptop, - the files. They may or may not be his, or all of them may not be his files, as there is no guarantee there was no tampering. And not admissible in court as there was a breach of chain custody. - even in the case the files were his, these files don't show any criminal activity by Hunter. They also don't implicate Joe as he was not a shareholder of the JV project discussed in the email. The NYPost has kept a copy of the laptop content for 2 gears, and nothing else has come up yet. "There were two supposed “smoking guns” about Joe Biden that conservatives touted in the materials. The first was an email the Post called a “blockbuster,” in which an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma thanked Hunter for the “opportunity to meet your father” in 2015. If you’re steeped in Trumpworld lore, this was damning because of the theory that Biden had the corrupt prosecutor general of Ukraine fired to benefit Burisma, and Biden had said he knew nothing about Hunter’s Ukrainian work, but look, a meeting! (Apparently, it was a dinner at Cafe Milano that Hunter had organized, with about a dozen people.) This appears to amount to Vice President Biden seemingly going to one dinner. The second involved a business venture that Hunter tried to set up with a Chinese energy tycoon in 2017 (after Joe Biden was no longer vice president). One email mentions that the equity split would include “10 held by H for the big guy ?” A former business partner of Hunter’s named Tony Bobulinski came forward to claim “the big guy” was Joe Biden. But a subsequent email from Hunter says his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic no,” and a further email clarifies that the chairman is his dad." https://www.vox.com/22992772/hunter-biden-laptop

I can imagine... President Trump, is it true that it's like a toadstool? I take the fifth, your honour! ????

The police was outnumbered. Capitol cops say they couldn’t get physical with rioters as new ‘QAnon Shaman’ video reveals hands-off approach In a statement Monday, the Capitol Police pointed The Post to comments by Robishaw in the 2021 HBO documentary “Four Hours at the Capitol.” “The sheer number of them compared to us, I knew ahead there was no way we could all get physical with them,” Robishaw said, “so I took it upon myself to try to talk to them.” “The officer is then seen on video walking behind Chansley as Chansley walks into the Senate Chamber,” Capitol Police said. “Moments earlier our officers and agents had to evacuate the Senate Chamber, which was closed to the public, to rush elected officials and staffers to safety. After that, multiple people snuck into the Chamber. At any given time, the officer is outnumbered by more than 20 or more people. https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/capitol-cops-say-they-couldnt-get-physical-with-rioters-as-new-qanon-shaman-video-reveals-hands-off-approach/

Bernie Sanders says Silicon Valley Bank's failure is the 'direct result' of a Trump-era bank regulation policy "Signing the bill into law meant that Trump was exempting smaller banks from stringent regulations and loosening rules that big banks had to follow. The law raised the asset threshold for "systematically important financial institutions" from $50 billion to $250 billion. This meant that the Silicon Valley Bank — which ended 2022 with $209 billion in assets — was no longer designated as a systematically important financial institution. https://news.yahoo.com/bernie-sanders-says-silicon-valley-045130094.html

Here are the true reasons...the right-wing cannot forgive him for contradicting and opposing Trump's B.S. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dr-fauci-contradicts-trump-s-false-claim-covid-19-deadly-n1242340 https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2020/jun/23/more-testing-not-less-fauci-contradicts-trump-on-coronavirus-testing-video https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/dr-fauci-donald-trump-coronavirus-us-covid-cases-b425158.html https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/517585-fauci-contradicts-trumps-claim-coronavirus-affects/ https://www.businessinsider.com/fauci-says-trump-is-obviously-wrong-that-99-of-coronavirus-is-harmless-2020-7 https://www.france24.com/en/20200729-trump-defends-use-of-hydroxychloroquine-to-ward-off-covid-19-contradicts-health-officials

Not sure they really care whether it's true or not.

The moron wanted to be noticed and he was!

However... Total value of U.S. trade in goods (export and import) with China from 2012 to 2022 (in billion U.S. dollars) https://www.statista.com/statistics/277679/total-value-of-us-trade-in-goods-with-china-since-2006/

And he will call them "brownshirts"! ????

He was convicted for a single felony count of obstructing an official proceeding before Congress. There is nothing in the video diffused by Carlson which may exculpate him.

For once, Trump has been holding a consistent position over time. From the start in 2014. "Within weeks, Trump praised Putin for how he handled the takeover of Crimea and predicted that “the rest of Ukraine will fall … fairly quickly.” Echoing Kremlin propaganda, Trump said in a TV interview that the Crimean people “would rather be with Russia,” a position he also pushed in private. One of his 2016 campaign aides falsely claimed that “Russia did not seize Crimea.” https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/26/politics/trump-putin-ukraine/index.html

He was not charged with (and convicted for) engaging in violence so it's not surprising that there is no footage of him engaged in violence. So your question was irrelevant, unless your intent was to exculpate him from something he was not accused of. It's a fake injustice. "Jacob Chansley, a former actor and Navy sailor widely known as the QAnon Shaman, who stormed the Capitol in January in stars-and-stripes face paint and a horned fur hat, pleaded guilty on Friday to a single felony count of obstructing an official proceeding before Congress." ".....charged with civil disorder, obstruction, disorderly conduct in a restricted building and demonstrating in a Capitol building" https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/03/us/politics/qanon-shaman-capitol-guilty.html

That's irrelevant as It's not what he has been charged with.

1. It was not a trial 2. Trump and some of his aids refused to testify. 3. I don't see how a video of the 'Shaman' followed by officers may provide a defense to Trump. The Shaman is a completely neglectible element and has never been in the focus of the Jan.6 committee. Another storm in a teacup....

I know. I was joking.

You seem to be quite knowledgeable about these books! ????

When the hearings were diffused on TV, I remember that the main MAGA channel (Fox News) refused to diffuse it, and also that MAGA posters on this forum were often claiming that they will never watch such a biased (according to them) investigation. Surprisingly enough, it seems that MAGA and/or right-wing posters now know exactly what has been shown (or not shown) during the committee hearings. ????

So that we lose our time looking for sources. It's his m.o.

Well, It's much better than you making assertions which are not backed by any source.

No. They told it before. From the linked NYPost article in my post, the event was described in the DOJ timeline: "The DOJ timeline confirmed that Robishaw followed Chansley into the chamber as the “Shaman” took the seat on the dais recently occupied by Vice President Mike Pence" As to the comments by the officer, they have been aired already in 2021 (quote from the same article): "In a statement Monday, the Capitol Police pointed The Post to comments by Robishaw in the 2021 HBO documentary “Four Hours at the Capitol.”

This more peaceful part doesn't exculp him from what he has been charged of. Additionally, it seems that Carlson omitted to mention the reason why the officers were so "peacefull" “The officer is then seen on video walking behind Chansley as Chansley walks into the Senate Chamber,” Capitol Police said. “Moments earlier our officers and agents had to evacuate the Senate Chamber, which was closed to the public, to rush elected officials and staffers to safety. After that, multiple people snuck into the Chamber. At any given time, the officer is outnumbered by more than 20 or more people. At this point, it is clear the officer is trying to get everyone out of the Chamber.” Capitol cops say they couldn’t get physical with rioters as new ‘QAnon Shaman’ video reveals hands-off approach https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/capitol-cops-say-they-couldnt-get-physical-with-rioters-as-new-qanon-shaman-video-reveals-hands-off-approach/

Poll with one respondent?

He was convicted by a court, not by The Jan.6 committee. Carlson has his "pants on fire"! ???? "However, Chansley’s signed plea agreement, an officer’s firsthand account of the events, and an internal memo from Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger all contradict Carlson’s claim that Capitol Police acted as Chansley’s Capitol "tour guides" Jan. 6." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/mar/08/tucker-carlson/evidence-rebuts-tucker-carlsons-claim-about-capito/

A few years ago, I asked my friends in Romania what they thought about Russian people, and that was their reply (quoting more or less): "We like them individually, we like like to drink vodka with them, etc... but as a collectivity, we don't like them". That sums it up. Individually, they are friendly, but as a people they have always been imperialistic. Add to it an authoritarian regime, controlled media and lots of propaganda to maintain this state of mind. Add also to it that the government is corrupt and incompetent, has not been able to develop this country despite its very good natural and human resources, has not even been able to prevent its population from significantly decreasing, etc... so they need to play the nationalist card in order to distract attention from their incompetence.

And the NYT did retract it. https://thepostmillennial.com/nyt-issues-correction-of-story-claiming-capitol-police-officer-bludgeoned-to-death-with-fire-extinguisher BTW, you just contradicted your previous claim that it was a peaceful visit! ???? Nice video! Video shows Capitol rioter hit officer with fire extinguisher https://nypost.com/2021/01/11/video-shows-capitol-rioter-hit-officer-with-fire-extinguisher/
