The FBI doesn't get to decide what's "important in the context of an election."

The contents of Hunter's laptop didn't stop me from voting for Biden, but that's because I'm a cynical jerk that already thinks politicians are corrupt by default.

I wasn't talking about the FBI, I was talking about Hunter Biden's laptop, and what an entirely bullshit story it is from start to finish. Read the comment I was responding to.

Lots of crackheads get jobs on the boards of foreign energy firms, and lots of crackheads dads withhold a billion dollars in loan guarantees from the nation where their crackhead sons have these jobs unless they fire the prosecutor looking into their sons business. Total nothing burger. Another one for the big guy.

But none of that actually happened, so it is a nothingburger.

I mean, read the comment chain you were responding to?

How about this: you don't get to decide what's remotely important to people in the context of the election?

I'm not deciding anything for anyone, I'm merely pointing out a fact. Also, you're presuming the truth of the allegations that the FBI did anything to materially suppress this story, and that's not in evidence, Musk-driven hyperventilation aside.

> I'm merely pointing out a fact.

No, "the Hunter Biden story is insignificant" is not a fact, it's a judgement. I'd say that calling it "misinformation" is bizarre, except that most prominent allegations of misinformation boil down to judgements too.

It's actually a fact, though.

It's absolutely not a fact.
Re:The Twitter Files, Part Six by meepmorp on Saturday December 17, 2022 @04:16PM (#34032323)
It absolutely is, though.
