Between them FOX News and the Sinclair Broadcast Group (owner of CBS where the news item of which this thread is the subject) have a combined viewership and listeners than any other news source in the US. So for this conspiracy of silence of yours to be true ‘somebody’ must have also prevented Fox News and the whole of the Sinclair Broadcast Group TV and talk radio stations from mentioning this story.

And where did FOX get this news? The clue is in the link you provided: ”The email was first reported on by The Daily Caller.”

Multiple members in this discussion are making allegations of crimes having been committed. Therefore evidence is an issue. And referencing the Daily Caller which has a track record of fake news, doctored images and conspiracy theories is definitely something deserving of questioning.

Naturally the responses change as the rightwing conspiracy nonsense burrows further down the rabbit hole.

Oh right, so some other fabled people, but not me. How very convenient to have these ready made quotes to hand.

And in the months this laptop was allegedly abandoned?

I’m interested to know where you saw that change? You chosen to use quotes, so now time for you to back up your alleged quotes. When did I say “this is Russian Disinformation and totally fabricated”? When did I say “even IF it is true, it is not criminal”? Put up your evidence or do the right thing and retract your fabricated quotes.

The story wasn’t ‘killed’, unless you are claiming the likes of FOX were somehow influenced?

And yet you are relying on the media for this report and make reference to the NY Post, one of the oldest media in the US. Me thinks you doth pick ‘n choose too much.

It doesn’t matter what is on the lap top, there is no secure chain of custody. All if it is inadmissible in a court of law. Just as NY Post polls are inadmissible in courts of law.

No it’s a matter of precise use of English when making an accusation. Your statement was both unequivocal and factually incorrect. So I agree, let’s not have you twisting things.

Actually you also owe a fair bit of it to a Saudi Arabian Prince, who I’m sure has your ‘freedom’ at heart.

While I’ll definitely be commenting if this murderer’s actions have indeed been motivated by the hatred that is core to MAGA, I don’t think it reasonable to link the political persuasions and actions of the murderer’s grandfather to his crimes without evidence. Let’s see what the investigation, court filings and trial turn up.

And yet it is reported the UK Government are at this moment negotiation a Swiss-Style Trade Agreement with the EU. The Swiss Trade Agreement includes alignment of standards, being subject to the ECJ, and is within the EU area of freedom Freedom, Security and Justice. Apparently Rees-Mogg has gone into conniptions over the matter, his nanny just doesn’t know how to calm him down.

Doing so would have left the UK with the resources to maintain control of its empire. The empire had to go and it did.

Last week Jeremy Hunt made the statement that ‘unfettered trade with the UK’s nearest neighbours would be good for growth’. It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to work out what he was referring to. For those that struggle to do so there is this little gem, reports of the UK Government seeking a Swiss-Style trade agreement with the EU. I know, Brexit is done, except clearly it is not and very clearly the divisions in the Tory Party are bubbling up under the surface: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11448055/Government-considering-putting-UK-road-Swiss-style-relationship-EU.html

Holding the UK to repay its wartime debt was a deliberate policy of the US with the aim to divest the UK of its empire. It worked. Those paying attention understand what this means for claims of a special relationship.

Let’s make it even more simple than that. Rees-Mogg was appointed as minister of ‘Brexit Opportunities’, he couldn’t find any. Or rather he omitted the ‘Brexit Opportunities handed to him and that other hedge fund manager Crispin Odey to place bets against the UK. So why did hedge funds managers who where betting against the UK back Brexit? The bitter irony is, Rees Mogg is as thick as two short planks, but he and his hedge fund managers raked in vast fortunes by convincing ordinary Brits that Old Etonians had their best interests at heart.

The bone spurs ‘mocking’ arises from the high probability they never existed, they certainly never got in the way of cheating in a game of golf. Are you telling me the guy who bragged about ‘grabbing women by the….’ Was trying to hide his sexual exploits out of some kind of shyness, or was he trying to hide his debauchery from the religious, moral, family value proclaiming voters he was reliant on? I would however accept that criticizing him on the basis of his obesity constitutes hate speech, though criticizing his blatant lies about his weight and health does not. Now can I expect a similar outrage from you the next time someone is criticized for allegedly suffering cognitive problems? Or you going to be right on it, joining in?

Yes Twitter has indeed been in the news, it appears you’ve not been keeping up with it.

The UK has not been able to do as it pleases since around the time of the Second World War. The latest example being Washington Schooling London on what is and is not acceptable wrt the UK’s post Brexit plans for Northern Ireland.

Not unless it attacks Trump on the basis of his race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or disability it’s not. Just like your own hating on the left wing is not hate speech.

But, and it’s a big but, the wall was a failure. Or to be more precise, it was a failure in terms of preventing migrants crossing the border. It was arising success at feeding the rightwing with something to be outraged over and a rather effective means of stripping Trump supporters of their hard earned cash.

Except it’s a Brexit lie.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has said the quiet bit out loud: https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/brexit-jeremy-hunt-quizzed-on-rejoining-single-market-as-he-concedes-damaging-trade-barriers-created-by-brexit-deal-3923127
