The NYT Editorial board is a shell for Fox News. It is highly biases and not fact checked. The laptops are fake and all content is fake. You need to have proof and proof is not right media because they lie about everything. |

Tell me how that works? Multiple laptops that have been in the custody of political opponents(many known criminals and convicted felons) of the president for over 4 years has some portion authenticated? Oh look another grift in the making. |

quote] Republicans Falsely Claiming the New York Times Says HB Laptop Is Real
Republicans are celebrating because the New York Post claimed that the New York Times has admitted that the HB laptop is authentic. That is not what the New York Times said. The New York Times said that the laptop was alleged to be owned by HB and that experts say at least some of the emails on the laptop are authentic emails of HB. The New York Times did not say anyone has confirmed the laptop in question was actually owned by HB (but that has not been ruled out). https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/3/17/2086640/-Republicans-Falsely-Claiming-the-New-York-Times-Says-Hunter-Biden-Laptop-Is-Real It is amazing what republicans can do with opinions articles. It’s a way for the right wing crazies to spread lies in the real media. |

I don't think any family member or president should ever benefit from the office. That goes for senators and representatives as well.
But let's be honest this stuff has been going on for decades and needs to stop. Don't act like Trump's kids weren't involved in things both in his administration and in his businesses at the same time. Look at Jared in Ivanka. Kellyanne Conway was telling people to buy Ivanka's merchandise for goodness sakes while out of press conference for the president. |

Umm, look at Obama family members, Bush family members, Carter family members. Etc. What Hunter did, being on a board, was not exciting. The "incriminating emails" are fake news. |

This whataboutism needs to die. Some of us that don’t like the Biden’s hated trump just as much as we hate Biden. The difference is Trump is no longer in office. I’ve been saying for years how ridiculous it is that Jared and the daughter worked for the White House. But again, this thread is about the currrent president, not a has - been who unless he is re-elected has little bearing on our country. |

All need to be shamed and prosecuted. All of them. Again, stop with the whataboutism. Biden is the current president so he is the focus. “What about Obama and Bush” isn’t a valid defense for poor behavior that reflects poorly on our leadership. |

Prosecute what? There is no crime. |

There have been investigations. No prosecutions, because it may or may not look bad, but that's not a crime. Make some new laws, if you think that's a good idea. But you can't just prosecute people for having the same name as a famous person. |

This thread is NOT about the current president. It’s about his son. Who doesn’t work for the White House. Who had a laptop with emails on it. That’s it. That’s the story. |

The Laptop has clearly committed real and serious crimes. We need to make an example of The Laptop or who knows what other Laptops will do. |

George W Bush was gifted a big stake in the Texas Rangers when his dad was President, and sold it for a 2500% profit when he was Governor.
How George W. Bush scored big with the Texas Rangers https://publicintegrity.org/politics/how-george-w-bush-scored-big-with-the-texas-rangers/ … Bush and his partners bought the team on April 21, 1989, for $86 million. To scrape together his $500,000 stake in the Rangers, Bush borrowed the money from a bank in Midland where he once was a director. He owned 1.8 percent of the Rangers. (He later invested an additional $106,302). Later, Bush’s partners rewarded him by upping his ownership stake in the Rangers, giving him another 10 percent of the team. “He had a well-known name, and that created interest in the franchise,” Tom Schieffer, the Rangers’ former president, said last year. “It gave us a little celebrity.” … the new owners threatened to move the team out of Arlington, Texas, sending local officials scurrying to put together a deal they couldn’t refuse. Under the resulting agreement, the taxpayers of Arlington would raise $135 million, the bulk of the cost of construction, through a hike in sales taxes. Between the sales-tax revenue, state tax exemptions and other financial incentives, Texas taxpayers handed the privately owned Rangers more than $200 million in public subsidies. Taxpayers didn’t get a return from the stadium’s surging new revenues, either. The profits went almost exclusively to the team’s already wealthy owners. … In 1998, the Rangers sold for $250 million, three times what Bush and his partners had paid 10 years earlier. The new stadium and the real estate around it greatly boosted the final sale price. And, since his partners had upped Bush’s stake in the team from 1.8 to 11.8 percent, his cut from the proceeds of the sale was $14.9 million, a 25-fold return on his investment of $606,302. |
