I see nothing……

In an interview with National Public Radio’s public editor today, Terence Samuel, managing editor for news, explained why readers haven’t seen any stories about the New York Post’s Hunter Biden email scoop.
“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions,” Samuel reasoned. “And quite frankly, that’s where we ended up, this was . . . a politically driven event and we decided to treat it that way.”
They can admit it in public because the sheep bought the Russian Collusion fot 4 years. They’ll buy anything…..
That’s because there was Russian collusion:

https://www.politico.eu/article/mueller-refutes-trumps-no-collusion-no-obstruction-line/
lmao…… the sheep bought the Russian Collusion fot 4 years. They’ll buy anything…..
That seems to be your standard retort to anything you can’t argue against, Pat.
Well Paul….. Mueller charged Trump with NOTHING, yet you still believe it happened, and site the spin in the report as proof….. NO CHARGES No Collusion, but you believe…..
baa baa black sheep have you any wool……
Mueller charged Trump with NOTHING, yet you still believe it happened
You know what ‘not exculpated’ means, yeah? By all means continue trying to peddle your fallacies though
That’s an interesting one. Probably why Don’s so desparate to hold nto power.
It was Seamus’ assertion yesterday to let the people decide if a politician is a crook or not, and act accordingly. I say how can they when the press is all in the pocket of one candidate and actively suppresses a story of import?
I say again, if this was about Don Trump Jr, it would be a totally different outcome.
Charles
We have known for a time that Hunter Biden is a bum a druggie and an influence peddler
That’s not news
I have no problem seeing the Bidens as a bit of a crime family, like the Clintons or the trumps
Let’s just say that the choice in nine days is between two crime families
Which crime family do you prefer?
Phantom. That’s a strawman. You can say the Trump’s are a crime family, but where’s the evidence. The evidence for the Biden’s misdeeds are in the hands of the FBI.
“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions,” Samuel reasoned. “And quite frankly, that’s where we ended up, this was . . . a politically driven event and we decided to treat it that way.”
Next thread ? climate change? domestic terrorism ? , tax records ? , healthcare ?
Biden’s winning all these hands down, its not even close
try going with covid pat ?
who is the asshole in this clip ?

“That’s all I hear about now. Turn on TV, ‘Covid, Covid, Covid Covid Covid.’ A plane goes down, 500 people dead, they don’t talk about it. ‘Covid Covid Covid Covid.’ By the way, on November 4th, you won’t hear about it anymore … ‘please don’t go and vote, Covid!'” — Trump

Charles
We know for a fact that Trump has stolen from a charity
We know for a fact that he has steered US government and foreign business to his shitty hotels
I could give multiple other examples, but hopefully this will suffice
Charles, I have repeatedly asked here for actual e mails to be linked to, (not what the NYP says is in the mails), and for the sources of the allegations of the FBI seizing multiple laptops & moble phones to be linked to also.
Absolutely no verification has been forthcoming.
All I can see is a photo of Biden Jr with what appears to be a pipe in his mouth and the report of an e mail where someone from Burisma claims he was introduced to Biden Snr, which the Biden camp has said didn’t happen.
Do you think that’s strong enough evidence to form an objective opinion?
Charles they need no evidence they have no ability to evaluate anything for themselves.
Quite the opposite I’d suggest, Pat. We don’t swallow everything from right wing propaganda sites as Gospel just because some bloke somewhere said it.
“I say how can they when the press is all in the pocket of one candidate and actively suppresses a story of import?”
To be fair I don’t believe they are. As I said in response to your comment on the other thread:
If something is being carried by sensationalist media companies but not by sober journalists (on either side – I’d apply the same standard if it is being taken forward by CNN or MSNBC but not the Washington Post) then it is reasonable, in my opinion, to, if not outright disregard it, to at least treat it with a healthy dollop of scepticism.
ignore the foreigners for a second and just look at Phantom Charles.
An accounting error, that no criminal charges were levied, and a slander… but he can get more.
Every Democrat hack assisted by the fbi investigated every aspect of Trumps life for 4 years and couldn’t find a single thing to charge him criminally with.
Yet Phantom knows his crimes…… sorry but that’s TDS at full fever
And let’s not forget that he ran a fraudulent university that took lots of money from gullible customers
An made up invention to cover an absolute untruth:
https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/ag-james-secures-court-order-against-donald-j-trump-trump-children-and-trump
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/07/donald-trump-charity-foundation-misuse-lawsuit
baa baa black sheep you still don’t have any wool….. 4 years, 18 Lawyers, 200 FBI Agents, at a cost of $50,000,000 and not a single charge….
yeah man guilty as sin if I ever saw it…..
Patrick thinks that no action by any Trump can ever be a crime, no matter what it is.
as you say about the Clinton’s Phantom….. where are the criminal charges?
I’ve never said that the Clintons were clean
They have always been unethical, have always played very very close to the line at best
But they never stole from a charity the way that your boy did, they never ran a fraudulent university
We know that you love your Trump.
Please start practicing your excuses for Election Day
Pat, you can baa baa, lmao and hide behind the criminality fig leaf all you wish it won’t change the reality that Mueller discovered collusion & Trump embezzled money from a charity.
Trump’s a thief, a fraud, a pathological liar and a whoremaster. Everyone here knows it and you know it too, but hey, it’s your credibility you’re sacrificing on the altar of personality cult. As a matter of fact, one of the interesting things I’m looking forward to is to see if anything comes back to bite him on the arse once he loses his presidential immunity.
Paul you drank the koolaid yes I know… you believe the Russian Collusion in spite of the overwhelming evidence that it was a frame. That’s fine keep believing and I will just keep LMAO……
Which part of ‘was not exculpated’ is it that you don’t understand?
Trump
stoleembezzled millions of dollars from a charitable foundation for his own personal use. Most people would consider this to be the lowest of the low and that you’ve invented an ‘accountancy error’ fallacy as a veil to try to excuse it shows just how low you’ve sank into the personality cult swamp.Which part of ‘was not exculpated’ is it that you don’t understand?
bullshit spin…… no charges is all that matter. They can say was not exculpated their job was to prove guilt not innocence.
or do you also not understand how the Law works over here…
INNOCENT until PROVEN Guilty.
They didn’t prove ANY Guilt…… so like it or not he’s innocent.
Pat there are none so blind as those that will not see
Bollocks, Muellers own words. They found colluson as I detailed above.
I perfectly understand how the law works:
You’re trying to be cute in suggesting that because there wasn’t sufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy this equates to evidence that there wasn’t collusion – it doesn’t.
The fact of the matter is that you will invent fallacies in order to defend a serial whoremongering adulterer, a thief, a con man and a pathological liar from any of his multiple legal and moral transgressions.
You’ve invented an ‘accounting error fallacy to excuse his embezzling. No sin is bad enough that you won’t justify and excuse it.
well as pat would always type:
the only things that matters is the verdict the American people have in 8 days time
talking of which , despite this amazing ( NOT ) Hunter piealla-deluxe-edition
TEXAS likely voters
Biden: 48%
Trump: 45%
This is pretty damn amazing. Only @realDonaldTrump
& his insane recklessness and lunacy could repel Texans like this from a Republican. Joe has a very real chance there as recent polls show.
John from Texas chips in with why he’s packed in being a life-long Republican
they don’t believe a word Trump says , that’s gonna hurt next week
https://youtu.be/AX84yFToKEc
I don’t expect Biden to win Texas
Trump could well win not only Texas but also Florida and Ohio. He most likely won’t win in Philadelphia and Wisconsin and Michigan, and if Biden wins those states, it doesn’t look good for DT.
But nobody knows how this is going to turn out. There will most likely be more young people voting this time, a lot of whom were wise enough to stay at home in 2016, and they will mostly vote Biden. On the other hand, the GoP has seen more new registrations than the Dems.
As always, it’s about getting people out to vote on the day and the Dems were stupid not to select someone who could i) appeal to blue-collar workers, ii) motivate people to do the right thing in November and iii) speak well and have a clean record.
Instead, they picked a doddery old Washington insider who’d put an amphetamine to sleep.
The Dems had an awful field this time around
If their candidate had been the disgusting Harris or either the lefties Warren or Sanders, Trump would already have it in the bag.
Biden was the best of a bad lot
Don’t tell me there wasn’t some kind of young B Clinton or Obama, or maybe even a JFK, out there in the Dem orbit somewhere, no decent and bright Congressman or Governor?
Any system that throws up Biden as the best option is broken.
Biden is a poor choice. I don’t think he has the stamina To lead, certainly not for four years.
He would be trying to unite a divided country, with a divided party, half of whom are AOC types with a dagger pointed at his back, with Republicans trying to sabotage him at every turn the way they did Obama
No one good decided to run
The closest that we had to somebody good would be mayor Pete, Amy Klobuchar, Bloomberg, maybe even Tulsi Gabbard.
I don’t know of any good Democrat potential candidates in the New York/New Jersey area, there probably are some good ones someone in America
mayor pete has a great future , don’t know much about the others, am presuming that they will too . Biden i reckon will be a kind of caretaker president: front up the big statements, all carefully worded. He’ll be a figure head: sharper minds , brighter minds will shape policy.
I think things will go well, Biden can always be relied upon as a sensible voice in any of the problems that come and go as the presidency evolves .
We need someone with character, been MIA for 4 years ,
never under-estimate the weight on that , its massive domestically and internationally
He takes seriously: science ,climate change, international partnerships, borders, tax returns, green energy ..
2 years then hand over to KH ?
no idea but he won’t be standing again so a decision will be made 2022/23 i suppose ..
OMG I just had a look at troll’s twitter feed
It just pages and pages on Hunter Biden like in The Shining
“all work and no play makes jack a dull boy ” – crickey you ok Pat ..lol
and who is the guy in the suit in the photo on this thread , blue tie above?
he’s everywhere – who is this guy ?
The you didn’t look at my feed if all you saw was Hunter……..
If anyone ever wants to see what stories I’ve read for the day that I felt were worthy to share go to any of my posts that the tweet is actually mine of course… you can tell by the beautiful caricature of myself and “The Troll” in the upper left corner…. go to the bottom of the tweet and click where it says….. wait for it…….

You need to get out of the Fox News bubble. At least 95% of Americans couldn’t give a shit about Hunter Biden’s alleged misdemeanours and no dirt has stuck to his father despite the strenuous efforts of Fox-Limbaa.
It’s hard to imagine that there are any genuinely undecided voters at this stage. It will all depend on turnout including getting the postal votes in and counted. I see the Texas governor has limited postal dropoffs to one per county, including counties with millions of voters. Fair play to the GOP – they are more and more shameless in their voter suppression. Maybe next time Texas will just ban postal votes just like it bans abortion.
I disagree
I Think that there are undecided voters – Who see both presidential candidates and both parties as bad For the future of the country,
And who are still going back-and-forth as to which of them will do the least damage, knowing that the one that they choose will do significant damage…
The GOP hypocritical scramble to get whatsername in post for the SCOTUS shows they are shit-scared that they will lose badly on 3 November, including both the White House and the Senate. But with a 6-3 pro-Trump SCOTUS Trump can be confident that if he can get a case in front of the SCOTUS he will be home and hosed. And he will be doing just that unless Biden wins by a landslide. Barr will be his main man for sure.
And don’t rule out an announcement by “Attorney General” Barr that he is opening an “investigation” into Biden. There is still time, and be sure that Trump is leaning heavily on him and he has never refused his boss before.
yes yes no one cares…. it’s just russian propaganda……. nothing to see here move along…
ACB brings the Court to 5-4 on critical issues Chief Justice Roberts always breaks Left…..
Phantom
I agree there are many voters Who see both presidential candidates and both parties as bad For the future of the country,, but as far as being undecided I don’t believe there are enough to make a full percentage point. Everyone has decide how they are going to vote. The indecision is whether or not to vote at all.
The indecision is whether or not to vote at all.
Truth to that.
The moral horror that is Trump is there to see. It’s obvious.
But the horror of the party of AOC, of Identity Politics and the racism that is inextricably bound in with every part of it, of benign understanding of riots is there to see also, for anyone with half a brain.
Anyone who casts a ballot for president is taking an action to hurt the country. How’s that for optimism.
Lesser of evils……. Trump is Trump there is a ton of baggage that you have to swallow but evaluating honestly. Trump is not a Republican he’s not a democrat. He has no line of succession, so whatever he does will only be for the next 4 years. and in spite of everything the first three years were prosperous. We argue over why, and whose responsible but until the plague we were doing well.
The other side of the coin Biden wins he probably doesn’t last the first term and Kamala is Madam President who easily wins reelection and that gives you 8 solid years for the party to do as it pleases unchecked.
The Democrat Party is not the blue collar union party anymore, those that are still of that school hanging on to the reigns of power can’t even keep their teeth glued in…. The wing that will have complete control of the party and the country by the end of Kamala’s Full term will be the AOC wing.
And I don’t care what anyone says these people scare me. They combine the worst practices of both the soviets and the nazi’s. That’s who will be in power. No thank you.
Nah a fear monger in convo between 2 conservatives
AOC and the handful of seats the far left picked up are a reaction to DJT
So obvious
Moderate leadership leads to the centre
Moderates stand and moderates win
Keep your teeth in gents we’re just going back to normal now
With some needed reforms that don’t scare anyone in reality
Just make things safer and better
On all the big issues of the day
Knock if off old timers
Phantom, the AOC thing has been covered here several times. The Dems are not ‘the party of AOC’, she is a Dem like all the others and has minimal influence within the party. This has been discussed quite a few times but you are almost Patesque in your repetition of it.
As for identity politics & rascism, whenever Biden tells elected politicians to go back to where they came from you might have a point.
Oh Christ Pat, pleeeeease.
These people ‘combine the worst practices of both the soviets and the nazi’s?’
Mammoth hyperbolic exaggeration much?
AOC and Bernie Sanders ( they are allies ) and that lot have many supporters in the party, and they have a lot of influence in NYC and other big cities.
—
Comparing the US Democratic Party to the Soviets or Nazis is not helpful at all.
Having a strong individual electoral base in specific geographical areas doen’t equate to having a strong influence within the party.
They have a strong influence in the party
No American here or anywhere will say otherwise
They do not dominate but they are a big deal
You make my point, the Dems are not the party of AOC
Why ?
You want to ignore what is happening around you?
You know you say the words soviets, nazi’s, and fascists and everyone goes off you can’t call them that….. Yet the right are called Nazi’s and Fascists everyday…. and none of you bat an eye.
The TACTICS that are being employed by the Democrats RIGHT NOW in America are Soviet & Nazi tactics. Our cities are burning and rioting with BLM/ANTIFA riots and have been for 4 solid months… that’s what the NAZI’S did with the Brownshirts it is exactly the same.
The Government especially in NY, Ca, and Minnesota are banning and attacking Religious Groups forbidding them to meet. That’s Soviet. The crushing of personal freedoms like how many family members you can have in your house Soviet. The restrictions on movement and 1000 other things that they have done in the name of the Pandemic are Soviet Tactics.
I’ll add one more the Chicoms. The censorship of speech…. speech labeled Dangerous, and therefore removed from public view…. for christ sake the “Fact Check” Team at facebook is run by a group brought to the US FROM CHINA on H1B1 visa’s.
I am not saying they are building death camps.
These people also Admire the Old Soviet Style of Government. Bernie Honeymooned in Moscow, De Blasio Honeymooned in Havana, Che is a Hero to these people.
You people forget History and History not that long past. Read about the Bolsheviks, read about the rise of the Nazi’s after WWI leading up to WWII. The similarities are undeniable and frightening.
If the Democrats get 8yrs of unchecked power after how they behaved this year do you think these restrictions and abuses will go away, or get worse?
These words are True.
Our ” cities ” are not burning. I was outside in NYC today. The buildings still stand.
—
Religious groups are not forbidden to meet in any of these places.
—
No speech has been removed from public view.
And I despise Deblasio and AOC and do not support Bernie at all, and I recognize the dangers that they bring to the country, but wild OTT exaggerations don’t help anything.
Because it’s a profoundly ridiculous analogy.
De Nile is not a River in Egypt.
Phantom I bust your balls and tease you with this, but I’m dead serious this time.
If you actually believe none of that is happening you are living in a Bubble.
The religious issue is bullshit.
And while I am not happy with the wink and a nod David Dinkins type enabling of riots that has actually happened our cities are not burning. The biggest problem the cities has is the pandemic and it’s continuing effects, made worse by the bad national response to it
This is how you will lose this election – you’re not even focused on the issues.
Phantom
Were not “Jews for Trump” beaten on the streets of NYC yesterday? I know Patrick over eggs the pudding sometimes, but doesn’t his words about freedom have a grain of truth in them?
I am not saying that political lowlifes are not around.
No, he’s just complaining that Orthodox super-spreader events were, correctly, restricted.
Most conspiracy theories have a grain of truth in them too, Charles.
Pat claims that the Dems are enabling riots
He claims that the Dems are persecuting religious groups
He claims that the Dems are removing free speech from public view
He claims that the Dems ‘combine the worst practices of both the soviets and the nazi’s’
Fantastical distortion.
I think it would be hard to find a better example of the identity politics that are often condemned on this site.
