You didn't make up the lie.
You shared it.
You spread it.
You perpetrated it.
And you attacked people who doubted it.

Nope. The thread is here for all to read.

Honestly, I expected you would take the tack of huffily declaring it was just sexually inappropriate pictures, not porn! I didn't expect you to just deny it all.

So, guess I will ask: when you jumped in here to laugh at everyone doubting this story and report how Giuliani had dropped off the laptop with the Delaware PD for child porn, did you believe he was lying or telling the truth? When you argued that the FBI having this info for 10 months without doing anything didn't mean anything it could still be true, were you defending the claim and did you still believe the claim at that time? Do you still believe it?

Link to me attacking someone who doubted there was child porn on the laptop, or defending the claim there was child porn on it. The post speaks for itself. "Giuliani goes there," the claim, "Don't shoot the messenger."

No. You'll just deny it like you deny everything. The thread is here for everyone to read, I'm not playing the "Show me where I said that!" game with you.

And you notice neither is anyone else.

We all know this game.

And I notice you didn't deny knowingly spreading falsehoods, you just latched onto the one statement you thought you could stall the discussion out with by giving people a fetch quest to complete. Very transparent.

I notice there is no link in there which shows me attacking someone doubting there is child porn on the laptop. And there is no link in there of me defending the claim of child porn on the laptop either. Back up your claim.

Okay here's a link. It's in the thread called "Bill Barr and his October Surprise" on the International Skeptic Forums message board. You can find it with Google.

Stop trying to get out of being arguing into a corner by giving us fetch quests to complete that we both know you'll just deny when we complete anyway.

"Neither is anyone else" because it never happened. If it had, you would discredit me unequivocally. That you can't, only discredits you and others who made the claim.

So yeah this is a nothingburger. And it's not working. Trump wanted this to be his "Comey Letter" for this election and it frizzled out at best, backfired at worst.

Haha cop out. You can't cite, and you can't quote it, because it never happened. You aren't helping yourself by going down this road. You're losing credibility by the post.

Same here, they all see that I never attacked anyone for doubting the claim of child porn on the laptop, and they can see I never supported the claim. They also see the ones here claiming the opposite and that you can't cite to support your claim.

In the room behind him is a person who has been blurred so as they are not recognizable and who is claimed to be a minor. So, yeah, I think I will remain skeptical about Hunter's claims of someone making up BS for the time being.

That must have been very exciting for you.

I can't imagine there are very many pictures of drug addicts being stupid in this world. It is really amazing that "the gatewaypundit" was able to find one. Next they'll have a rare photo of a kitty being adorable.

All sarcasm aside, I will not vote for Hunter or the kitty.

I notice you still won't back up the claim that I attacked posters here for doubting or rejecting the claim of child porn on the laptop)hard drive), or of me supporting or believing the claim of child porn on the laptop. Also, because you have not backed up your claim(because you can't) shouldn't you retract the claim? Or are you comfortable being openly dishonest?

Tapes. By my count there are six videos where Hunter's face is clearly visible and one where only his body can be seen. However, the person in the video is wearing the same bracelets, ring and necklaces that Hunter has been on video and in photos wearing also. I guess you could claim fakery on that as well but it would be awful strange for the Russians to hire a body double to fake another porn video of Hunter because the first 6 weren't enough?

There are also dozens of photos now. You could claim that a handful of them are fake because the header data says they were taken in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Delaware. Everybody knows that Hunter lives in California so for some reason it's impossible for him to be anywhere other than California.

OK, my bad. But the lie alleged wasn't about whether Rudy dropped off the "laptop." It was about how he characterized the contents.

I'm comfortable with not playing an endless game of fetch for you when your first attempt backfired in your face.

You do get that your JAQ 2. is you defending the claim, right? You're literally doing it in the very post where you demand I prove you're doing it.

Nothing backfired in my face, have you looked in a mirror? Your face is charred from making a claim you can't support. You can't seem to differentiate between me posting what someone else claims, and my claims. The cite provided for me accepting as true the claim that there is child porn on the laptop/drive/copy does no such thing, nor does it support me attacking anyone who doubts the claim.

The only reason it's endless is because you keep making claims you can't support because they aren't true. Citing me supporting the child porn claim or attacking one who doubts it would end it. You can't, and I'll keep reminding people of that.

"You're literally doing it in the very post where you demand I prove you're doing it."


Wrong, it's a comprehension problem on your part if you think that.

Cite me supporting the claim that there is child porn on the laptop/drive/copy, or cite me attacking someone doubting the claim of child porn on the laptop/drive/copy. Otherwise you will continue to look dishonest. Or, you know......you can retract the erroneous claim.

Quote:

In another touching memory, Biden wrote that one time, a fact-checker called his office in a state of confusion about a story that was soon to be published. The fact-checker knew that Neilia had passed away, but when she asked Beau and Hunter about their "stepmom," they replied, "Oh, no. We don't have a stepmom," as Joe recalled in Promises to Keep.

Biden heartfully concluded, "Beau and Hunter had long since made their choice: Jill was Mom."

Sometimes, you know, people are able to stop saying "That's not my position! That was falsely attributed to me as my position that I obviously never made!"

And then, in a spasm of actual honesty, they can tell us what their position actually is. Like, y'know, do they believe the actual smear? Do they really believe that Hunter Biden travelled 3,000 miles from his home to give a few laptops to a blind Trump supporter? Do they understand that Giuliani stuck his hand down his pants because he didn't want to get an erection with his penis folded over (ouch, that can be really painful, I know that from personal experience).

Sometimes I wonder, if you're making a lot of noise that people falsely attributed a position you never made, maybe you could tell us what your actual position IS.

For example, my position is that they don't have any laptop computers at all that belonged to Hunter Biden, the whole thing is a dirty fraud that was intended to be an October Surprise, the fraud folded like a penis in cheap underwear, and the only real Trump supporters remaining support Trump because of his racism and cruelty. Prove me wrong.

JoeMorgue 28th October 2020 11:38 AM

People who have argued themselves into a corner always want to talk a lot about what their position isn't and never about what their position is.

I'll assume this will be more of the same until proven otherwise.

Conversely, some people wait to see all there is without rejecting or supporting. It's a developing story.

I've actually posted things which tend to support something shady with regard to the release. People have construed my position into support of everything re the laptop/drive/copy. They ignored what I handed them on a silver platter, and attacked me without considering the content of what I posted, if they even bothered to look at it.

This was a smear job, not an actual investigation. So no matter how much it gets disproven now the cult members will still believe it and at least some more mainstream voters now still have a mental connection between Biden and something shady.

I'm starting to think that one of those Russian broads who Hunter was hanging out with in LA probably slipped him a Michael Finn and took the photo with an incapacitated Hunter and the crack pipe.

Your position is I attacked those who doubt the claim of child porn on the laptop and that I believed the claim of child porn on the laptop. No evidence forthcoming on your claim, nor will there be because you made it up. How's that corner behind you? Not much room, you're jammed in there pretty tight. A retraction on your claim would go a long way to showing honesty on your part.

"Also, Bannon, Giuliani, the guy from the video, and virus conspiracy chick in the mirror. Bannon is behind Giuliani. So while you are screaming Russia, it's more than likely China. Although, I haven't seen anything to say the laptop wasn't Hunter's, or that it was a hack. If anyone has evidence of that, I'd like to see it. The Campaign/Biden haven't alleged that.


People here are stuck on Russia/Ukraine/Burisma, the incriminating stuff is the China allegations.

Also, FoxNews supposedly contacted someone in the email chain regarding Chinese business FWIW. They supposedly authenticated the email."
