Hunter Biden's Laptop
"You know, probably just me, but even if I did get to see Hunter's penis I still wouldn't have voted for Trump."
Jordan Klepper, comedian
Hunter Biden's laptop was Trump's big pre-election "October Surprise."
Twitter, Facebook, and the mainstream media suppressed it. Coming to them as it did, they thought it was suspicious.
GOP politicians are still sore about that.
Twitter didn’t trust the legitimacy of photos and emails supposedly found on Hunter Biden's laptop computer. The photos and emails made their way to Steve Bannon and Rudolf Giuliani and the Trump campaign. They gave them to Murdock's New York Post, which published them twenty days before the 2020 election. Those images and emails were widely promoted in the conservative media, but not on Twitter or Facebook, nor by mainstream media.
It was in fact Hunter Biden's laptop. It contains self-generated pornography, emails with escorts, photos of Hunter Biden's ruined teeth, selfies of him looking wasted, and photos of his erect penis. It also included financial records and copies of letters relating to his work as a lobbyist. Juicy stuff.
I am not surprised the media was cautious. The story was too improbable. Supposedly Biden dropped off the laptop computer on which he carried out all of his personal and business life, but abandoned it at a repair shop and disappears. Really? Trump's October surprise was frustrated in part by his "cry wolf" history. Trump was on record wanting to get dirt on Hunter. Now the media was being handed on a silver platter a laptop with photos of Hunter Biden's sex play plus his financial records. Giuliani would not turn a copy of the hard drive over to Democrats so they could independently examine it. Anyone should have been skeptical.
Republican politicians and conservative media hosts openly scoffed at news that a 10-year-old victim of rape became pregnant and sought an abortion. This news emerged just as states were considering abortion bans after the Dobbs decision. It was the worst possible case and timing for abortion opponents--a 10-year-old rape victim!--so they assumed it was an invented story. They were right to be skeptical. It turned out to be true.
Any individual alert enough to refuse the bait of a phishing attempt knows that too-good-to-be-true gambits are dangerous. We know not to be fooled by the Nigerian prince.
Fox News and Republican officeholders feel cheated. Big tech and big media are secretly pro-Democratic, they say. They sat on campaign gold, and if the 2020 election had been a referendum on Hunter Biden, then Trump might have won. This controversy has been convenient for the GOP. It distracts from Trump. Don't look at the Trump conviction for tax fraud. Don't look at the January 6 sedition conviction. Don't look at Trump's call to ignore the Constitution. Look at Hunter Biden.
Emails and images aren't necessarily what they appear to be. I won't supply links, but if one Googles "Deep Fake AOC" one would find credible videos of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's face and purported body interacting with porn stars. There are links to sites showing one how to create these.
Here is a source for buying personal messages for family and friends directly from "Donald Trump." He says their name, congratulates them for their birthday or anniversary, gives them a pep talk, or thanks them for their support. It is an excellent holiday gift for $205.
This blog gets handed faked material often. Some purported comments are cut and paste plagiarisms from conservative media. Others are comments for publication prepared by a prominent Medford Republican who signs the names of my family and local Democratic officeholders to confessions describing deviant sex acts. They are fake. I delete them. I am particularly alert to too-good-to-be-true material.
There is a reason most media sources, including blogs like this one, have shut down their comment section or moderate it. The world is full of cheaters, trolls, vandals, fake news creators, and people who attempt to defame others. A sketchy source connected to a political opponent is a bright red flag. Ending content moderation is the equivalent of defunding the police. It is a jungle out there.
