I guess we can dispense with the ā€œtrying minor as an adultā€ nonsense than?

Oh wait, this kid was white, right?

I thought that the accusation is that Biden personally intervened in Ukrainian politics to get a prosecutor who was investigating the company that Hunter was working for fired. The laptop purportedly shows evidence of this.

Do people archive e-mails on their laptops? When they say they ā€œfound emails on a laptopā€, does this mean that they are looking at archived e-mails or that they are simply using a password that was stored somehow?

Quote of the day (so far):

ā€œWhile Giuliani has not previously demonstrated any deep network of contacts in the Delaware computer-repair world, he has a long-standing string of contacts in the Russian intelligence world.ā€ -Intelligencer

Yeah the obviously fake emails Giuliani are touting supposedly go something like

ā€œHEY DAD YOU DO THE THING TO HELP WITH OUR CRIMES AND YOU GET HALF THE MONEY JUST LIKE WE AGREED.ā€

Of course nothing about this storyā€”the timeline, the people involved, the alleged sequence of events or chain of custody for the laptopā€”makes any sense whatsoever.

My brotherā€™s ~10-year hitch as a rotorhead ended about a month before Shield went to Storm.

Thank you for your service.

A jangly, nervy through-the-eyes-of-a-17-year old logic to this song that compresses a panorama of weird service experience into 4 minutesā€¦

Well, daddy joined the Air Force
Said, it was a good source
Danger, love, and money, but it only led to divorce
Ended up in Abilene
Working at a Dairy Queen
Put me in the Army on the day that I turned seventeen
Here I am standinā€™ in the desert with a gun
Thought of going AWOL but Iā€™m too afraid to run
So I got myself a new plan
Stealinā€™ from the Taliban
Make a little money turning poppies into heroin
Sergeant didnā€™t like it so they put me in a hole
I said ā€œItā€™s easy shootinā€™ when they donā€™t know where to go.ā€
Threw me on a lily pad
Sent me home to NORAD
I knew Iā€™d be in trouble but I didnā€™t think it be this bad

Stranger wearinā€™ all black
Met me on the tarmac
Told him I was sorry but I ainā€™t ever going back
He said, you ainā€™t in trouble son
Learn to fight without a gun
Got a new assignment now, youā€™re working for the Pentagon
Gonna get a trip, wouldnā€™t tell me what itā€™s for
Gotta serve your country, gonna help us win the war
MIT, Ph.D.'s, night and day, theyā€™re testing me
Ainā€™t what I was thinking but Iā€™m being all that I can be
I ainā€™t no genius but I knew it wasnā€™t right
Eating uppers in the morning and LSD at night
Send me off to deep space
Help 'em win the arms race
Ola me, oh mighty, but this shit has got a funny taste

I think I hear the countdown
Hundred feet above the ground
Told me when Iā€™m leavinā€™ but aā€™ nothing ā€˜bout ā€˜a coming down
Sitting on a bad dream
Thousand pounds of gasoline
Ainā€™t leavinā€™ nothing but some rubble and my slipstream
Mama always said, I should be aiminā€™ for the moon
Never wouldā€™ve guessed that Iā€™d be passing by soon
How the hellā€™d I get here?
Blastinā€™ through the atmosphere
Drop the rocket boosters and Iā€™m shiftinā€™ into high gear

Bowie on the system and a bottle on my knee
Armstrong ainā€™t got nothing on me
Hey ho, here we go
KMAG YOYO
Someone wanna get me, gotta come up where the sun donā€™t go

I think I see a bright light
Something ā€˜bout it ainā€™t right
I laid down in a space ship
Woke up in a firefight
Trippinā€™ from the morphine
Came down in a bad scene
God, donā€™t let me die here, I ainā€™t even 19
I wonā€™t ever ask you, Lord for anything again
Iā€™ll swear it on the Bible, Torah or Koran
Lyinā€™ in a rhino track
ā€˜Bout to have a heart attack
IED got to me, someone call the Medevac
I need some fixinā€™ after where it is Iā€™ve been
Never wanna go and try and shoot a gun again
Slippinā€™ out the back door
Gonna join the Peace Corps
Tell me, Iā€™m a hero now, so
Someone else can fight this war

The email that the Post is centering on reads:

From: Vadym Pozharskyi
<v.pozharskyi.ukraine@gmail[dot]com> [Iā€™m only putting this in because it seems fishy]
Subject: Meeting for coffee?
Date: April 17, 2015 at 6:00:51 AM PDT
To: Hunter Biden <[hbiden email]>

Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and
giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent
some time together. Itā€™s realty an honor and pleasure.
As we spoke yesterday evening, would be great to
meet today for a quick coffee. What do you think? I
could come to you office somewhere arount noon or
so, before or on my way to airport.
Best,
V

Just look at the name of the made-up doctor endorsing Trumpā€™s ā€œherd immunityā€ plan:

What caused this? Was this because the people who made up the letter were having trouble coming up with fake names or because the people who were asked to sign it put down fake names instead? Both?

There are middle school kids who are better at lying/faking it than this.

I donā€™t know but I hear they have a team of investigators led by Heywood Jablowme looking into it.

Dr. Richard Head? Dr. M. Richard Burns? You can get far more creative if you choose. Dr. IM Payne. and so on. Or just make up real-sounding names and figure no one will check. That these are so obvious tells me that they were meant to be found, and someone on the inside wanted to undercut this disaster.

Let me think. No - never put on body armor - bought an assault rifle - tried to intimidate people - in another state no less - and then killed people.

Sheltered life, I guess.

I canā€™t think about Amy Coney Barrett for more than a minute without my vision dissolving into seething white noise and my entire body spasming with helpless rage.

Itā€™s not healthy.

Or they were ā€œtrollingā€ and just didnā€™t care.

I hope youā€™re right that it was intentional sabotageā€¦

To put it bluntly, nobody cares

  • ā€œIntervened in Ukrainian politicsā€ doesnā€™t sound like a crime to American voters

  • Even if it did, the impeachment trial set the precedent that it still doesnā€™t matter

  • The accusation is too complicated for people to read the whole thing before getting bored

In 2016 ā€œHillaryā€™s emailsā€ was a dog whistle for a bunch of QAnon-style pseudo-scandals that ordinary people certainly would care about, if they were true, like ā€œHillary deliberately plotted to get American diplomats and soldiers killed at Benghaziā€ and ā€œHillary eats babiesā€ and all that shit

The last four years have largely innoculated normal people against this kind of thing, and they were never able to tar Biden with the same kinds of suspicions. He wasnā€™t part of the Clinton crew in the '90s. He doesnā€™t seem smart enough or ambitious enough to be a Bond villain.
