Brace yourselves, Republican voters ...

Now that the GOP has a majority in the House, everything is going to change for the better.

As soon as your reps start investigating Hunter Biden's laptop, gas prices will plummet.

As soon as they start investigating the J6 committee's findings, crime rates will drop to historic lows.

As soon as they investigate the real culprits behind the January 6th insurrection, inflation will be a thing of the past.

Everything you were promised by the GOP is about to be delivered - it just might be delayed, what with all those investigations being more important and all.

So long as they Own The Libs, that's all that matters.

They'll be back again in 2 years, voting for the party that won't do Shit for them. And they'll love it.

Repugs here don't care what the repugs they elect do, as long as they aren't democrats. No amount of truth telling, facts and charts will change that.

.... Russian Talking point.

A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

Think about it, a legally blind computer repair guy got a water damaged lapetop to dry out and slap new components into was able to read every file on that water damaged computer after its owner failed to pick it up in a timely manner after repair. He then turned it oer to the FBI, where the Deep State made it disappear faster than Epstein's DVD collection but our intrepid blind repairman had memorized every single file on the machine and trotted over to Pox News to make sure the Whole World Knew (TM) about the perfidy of the Bidens.
Oh, and he made a full copy of everything on that computer, guess he does that on everybody's computer, Jesus H Christ he must be bored.

And right wingers are swallowing this whole story like it was engraved on stone tablets and handed down through the ages.

From the beginning, I've been willing to stretch my brain to the breaking point and admit maybe there was a computer belonging to Hunter Biden that fell into the hands of a repair guy with no ethics who used contents of hard drives to blackmail his customers. The only things I've ever seen published lead me to believe Hunter Biden is just another child of a famous father who parlayed his suname and connections into no-show jobs he wasn't remotely qualified for that had big paychecks attached, welcome to the real world.

This is a whole lot of hot air and nothing and I sincerely hope they beat it into the ground the way they did everything the Clintons weren't guilty of and I know Democrats are finally going to be fighting back, the way they didn't when Hillary Clinton was in the hot seat. Democrats need to start being media hogs on this stuff. It's the only way to counter Russia's constant bleating.

Hunter was living in CA @ the time, and the hard drive in ? has a very hazy chain of custody history too.
(I think that is all correct but :shrug

BTW the quote was from an article about the report put out by the Republican run Senate intel committee
in 2018.

there are multiple repair shops and data retrieval services. I can't see any need to send a computer from a technological hub in CA all the way to NJ, it's not like he was looking for the cheapest place in the country or anything.

The whole right wing story is hinky as hell. Likely that laptop (if it exists and actually did belong to Hunter Biden) was stolen and that's what they're trying to hide with the repair/FBI fairy tale.

What's their excuse? If you live in the Dakotas or OK, TX or any other state with a republican trifecta at the state level, why are they experiencing all of these Democratic-Party induced problems?

It because of some Democrat in some far off state or some bleeding heart liberal living amongst us that's causing all of the problems.

Truth is they'll never take responsibility for the choices or situation they find themselves in. It's always somebody else who stolen what they think is rightfully theirs. And they call us entitled...
