Yeah dick pics are definitely all that was happening with the Hunter Biden / NY Post saga.

Would you like to buy this bridge I have for sale?

Do you have any evidence or is this like the widespread election fraud lies?

Do I have any evidence? What, are you a policeman? If you truly believe it was just about dick pics, let’s sort out a price for that bridge.

NFI why you’re on about election fraud, you’ll have to show me where I made any claims about that.

I’ve found anyone that uses the “bridge to sell you” line doesn’t have any actual evidence for what they believe except it “feels right”.

Good for you. I haven’t seen any evidence for the “it was only dick pics, definitely nothing else” theory, I assume you have some?

So you want evidence to prove something didn't happen? How are you on Hackernews?

If this is your level of understanding of logic, reason, and debate, how are you even able to tie your own shoelaces?

Normally you'd be right about how you can't prove something doesn't exist, but if you go up thread you'll see that xcrunner claimed that the laptop contained only dick-pics. It's fair for Alvah to ask for proof.

Had xcrunner simply asked for proof the burden would be on Alvah to provide it, but because xcrunner made a claim he took the burden of proof on himself.

Excuse me? No I didn’t.

I was never discussing the leaks. I was discussing what Twitter took down (aka what was reported to them).

They conspired to hide a leak that they thought would tip the election. Not that the leak was only dick pics, but if dick pics were enough to tip the election wouldn't that still be a valid expression of voter will?

> I assume you’re very mad at Russia too?

But, but, whatabout the other guys!

No, because I don't have a reason to trust Putin or the Russians, and neither do US citizens. But they do have a reason, and a right, to trust their elected officials.

The “twitter files” links has the Biden campaign reporting dick pics. We can actually view the links mentioned via the Internet Archive. Oops.

And no they don’t have a right for something illegal (revenge porn, unconcent) and the company certainly has their own right to censor how they want and choose who they listen to.

The Russian thing was about the actual facts about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election and if you were crowing about that influence too.

Twitter blocked the NYPost and any DMs containing links to the article based on the set of advice you summarize as "reporting links to dick pics".

The emails are probably the most politically relevant, and possibly damaging, as they contain possible evidence of corrupt dealing.

Source? Be specific. I’ve only seen links reported that were dick pics.

Source that the FBI/Dems/etc only sent dick-pic links to be censored, or proof that the laptop leak contained more than dick pics?

Earlier in this thread you made a claim that the leak was only dick pics, have you read a source which claimed that, or is it only that you haven't seen a source talk about anything else?

There're these, many of which are verified: https://bidenlaptopemails.com/

I don't know the entire contents but it is certainly more than just dick pics. I've heard someone discuss using the dates in those to corroborate other stories which means they aren't just salacious either.

We are taking about Twitter and all the censorship you’re on about. So obviously it should be things reported to twitter to remove.

And you're limiting this to only things disclosed during the Elon Twitter-files?

Because Jack Dorsey said to congress that they blocked the NYPost story because of reports by the dems and the FBI. The NYPost's story didn't have porn thus they reported at least some non-porn links.

We've known the broad strokes of this for quite a while and it's just the emails and chat logs of the conspirators that we're seeing for the first time now.

Umm..in latest release of Twitter files, you had members of the Biden administration reaching out to explicitly ban and de-platform accounts including accounts that simply showcased the CDC's actual data. There was severe and direct pressure from the white house to ban accounts of US citizens.

I cannot think of a more fundamental violation of the US first amendment.

Contain possible evidence? How do you know that?

There are 128k+ emails, many about the Biden's business dealings. I say 'possible evidence' because it hasn't been investigated yet.

We also know that the emails, or at least many of them, are valid. The signatures, made years before the leaks, check out.

Ok the emails are valid, why are you assuming a crime was committed?

I didn't say that I did. The scope of "corrupt dealings" is much wider than the scope of illegal dealings.

It contains possibly legal things that the voters might find to be a turn-off, such as the ne'er-do-well son selling access to his dad in his official position.

Who cares? He doesn’t get to control his adult son. It’s laughable you think any American cares after all the selling access the Trump admin did and the kids getting access without clearances. Fuck off.

Wow, I don't live in the USA so I forget how strongly trump-delusion-syndrome hit you guys.

Considering Hunter appears to be speaking to leaders and oligarchs it feels that Joe needs to control him, and imho could easily do it through the courts by making Hunter's allowance conditional on not claiming a business relationship with his dad.

> It’s laughable you think any American cares after all the selling access the Trump admin did and the kids getting access without clearances.

Biden thought they would, or they wouldn't have tried to squash the story.

> Fuck off.

What's that, you say I'm right in every way?
