Fun fact about the GOP-they believe that going to the emergency room w/o insurance is a viable healthcare plan for people. No preventative care available but it's cool if you go and wait hours for healthcare after you've had an emergency. Also, people are still billed for this emergency care even if they can't ever pay. They just lose their credit rating and can never buy a house or get a decent loan for a car because they got sick one time.

So if they don't do those things, what then? Do they get rounded up?

Well then they don't have a place in America. I guess it will be some sort of Handmaiden's Tale scenario where they'll either be enslaved or escape to Canada.

At least they have an option to assimilate though.

It would be difficult to be when posting online wouldn’t it, the fact you’ve felt the need to mention it is rather telling though.

I’ve still no idea why you post on a City forum, you’re as welcome as a dose in a brothel and that’s why half the posters on this thread have you on ignore, like I did until I saw Seb’s post and unignored you to see what you’d said to make him call you out.

You can fuck back off there again you rapey little incel.

The story - on face value - might well be true - it's plausible that former Vice President Biden could have used his influence to financially benefit his son Hunter.

And here, the role of the free press comes in.

The free press needs to ascertain the validity of any story it's going to publish - failure to do so undermines the credibility of any publication willing to print stories based solely on speculation.

That no major publication - is the New York Post a major publication? - has been willing to publish allegations against Joe and Hunter Biden - that social media has stepped in to ban/warn against such allegations - and that, apparently, several reporters at the Post refused to lend their name to the byline - speaks volumes.

The New York Post is a major publication.

1) The story is suspect and responsible journalists have been unable to verify its authenticity; or
2) There's a massive press conspiracy, suppressing the story since it depicts Biden in an unfavorable light.

The Intercept a hard left leaning publication had a reporter who wanted to publish a story on this but was barred by the editors. N
You can find his Story on Rising. He has also published the email exchanges with his editors. So anyone who wants to know why he was not allowed to publish can reach their own conclusions by reading.

The fact that everyone pretends 2) is not plausible and therefore no attempts to investigate must be conducted is hilarious.

I recently watched a video posted by, I think, "The Guardian" - a major, respected UK publication (explanation added for the benefit of non-UK members) - stating that 50% - I REPEAT AGAIN - 50% - of Republican voters believe in the so-called QAnon claims...

That is, that the US Democratic party is actively participating in a pedophile operation and that Donald Trump has been chosen by the US military to combat this degneracy.

"WTF" - fails to convey my astonishment.

Are Trump supporters - in general - so disconnected from reality - that a large percentage/most of them actually believe this?

We don't need to guess why the Post published it and no one else did. Giuliani told us.

Giuliani told the Times he brought his documents to the Post because "either nobody else would take it, or if they took it, they would spend all the time they could to try to contradict it before they put it out."​
​

In fact, it's not only so fucking stupid and obviously made up that only the NY Post would report it, the actual writers and editors of the NY Post didn't want to report it. They didn't want any connection to it!

The first article "was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it," the Times reported Sunday night, citing two Post employees. "Bruce Golding, a reporter at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid since 2007, did not allow his byline to be used because he had concerns over the article's credibility." The article was instead attributed to a deputy politics editor who "had little to do with the reporting or writing of" it and "learned that her byline was on the story only after it was published," and a recent hire from Fox News and Sean Hannity's show, the Times reports.​

"It's not something that meets my journalistic standards," one Post reporter told New York Magazine. Another Post reporter called it "very flimsy," adding that the article "just makes you cringe and roll your eyes, and it's hard to stomach, but at the same time we kind of know that you're signing up for stuff like that. ... It's disappointing. It sucks to, like, work for, like, a propaganda outlet."​

It seems like it's only a matter of time before Dax asks us if pizzagate is not plausible.

But the above doesn't explains why Glen Greenwald wanted to print a story about it but was blocked by the Editors at the Intercept. Which led to him resigning.

BK,

We had a discussion once in which I asked you to provide evidence for your claim. To which you responded with insults and insinuations about my character. Then you let me know you would be putting ignoring me coz "you knew what I was doing."

i have not said a word to you since. Done my best to abide by YOUR wishes. Yet you over and over again throw insults and make disparaging comments. Why?

You know ignoring me is within your power, right?

Yes it does.

The very journalists who have seen the evidence at the NY Post, and wrote the stories don't beleive it and think it's made up bullshit.

So why would an Editor at the intercept let someone write a story which has absolutely zero evidence or corroboration?

How fucking stupid do you have to be to confuse an Editor telling a writer he isn't allowed to publish a story with zero evidence with a global media conspiracy?
