Not at all - just that in this case, the Bidens' not being investigated or charged for corruption when Trump's DoJ had the laptop for 12 months tells you that your belief that there is evidence of their corruption on that laptop wrong. There may well be evidence of their corruption elsewhere, it just ain't on the laptop.What exactly are you on about? Do you think a pollie not being charged with a crime means no crime was committed?
You are just straight up disingenuous. You make up claims others have made and repeat them ad nauseum.Not at all - just that in this case, the Bidens' not being investigated or charged for corruption when Trump's DoJ had the laptop for 12 months tells you that your belief that there is evidence of their corruption on that laptop wrong.

Which you actually do realise I suspect, but just can't bring yourself to acknowledge, just like the 93% against/Oxford 15 minute city thing. So you dance about and obfuscate with stuff like "no pollie is interested in prosecuting another one", so you don't have to man up and say yeah I obviously got that wrong.
Its all pretty obvious and transparent.
LOL the srp is superb viewing at the moment. This is a contribution from one of the resident rocket scientists over there.
Trump continues to shine the light on the corrupt one sided establishment anti-trump mainstream media agendas and fake narratives.
It is only now that the powers to be and Democrat puppet masters are timing their strategic replacement of Joe that we will finally start to see some general discussion about Joe's fitness to lead the US.
No we can't agree on it. He flip flops between owning and disowning the bills he wrote.
I've already posted quotes from Biden that the only way rehab and education was happening was in prison.
The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 111–220 (text) (PDF)) was an Act of Congress that was signed into federal law by United States President Barack Obama on August 3, 2010, that reduces the disparity between the amount of crack cocaine and powder cocaine needed to trigger certain federal criminal penalties from a 100:1 weight ratio to an 18:1 weight ratio[1] and eliminated the five-year mandatory minimum sentence for simple possession of crack cocaine, among other provisions.
chef's kissAOC Vs MTG
You need to stop cooking so hard on the links to Russia. That was shown to be false 7 years ago.
You are cooked. 100% done. You are attempting to rewrite history. All this talk of Biden is moot anyway, no chance he will be the candidate. I will leave you with some quotes, though.No, he doesnt flip flop.
He's repudiated much of what was in the Bill, along with parts of the Clinton crime bill (which was how the Democrats managed to sneak Gun control during Clintons Presidency).
Heck Joe Biden is currently running on a platform to decriminalise Cannabis federally, and expunge all criminal records of people convicted of cannabis charges.
Does that sound like a bloke who (as one of your fellow cookers stated, and what started this whole discussion) 'wants to lock up drug users forever'?
I mean, mate you're talking utter shit. It's self-evident that the Democrats (and Biden) have a very different approach to drug crime to the Republicans. If you're whining about the Dems and their approach to 'tough on crime' surely you can concede that the Republicans are far stricter?
If you cant concede that fact, you're cooked.

"He had criticized Reagan in 1981 for insisting on harsher sentences, arguing that prisons were already overcrowded and calling for alternative sentencing for non-violent offenders."In addition to publicly and openly repudiating the provisions you're banging on about, also literally legislated to revoke the provisions yet you're still trying to tell me... he still supports them?
You're so ****ing partisan you can't concede the above, despite it being objectively true.
Yes, Biden sponsored the Bill that contains tough on drugs (5 years mandatory sentencing for 5 grams of Crack cocaine).
Since then, he has not only repudiated those provisions, he ****ing legislated to remove them, and free a bunch of people imprisoned over them.
I can concede that Biden is senile. I can concede those provisions are shit, target black people disproportionately and that Biden sponsored this Bill. Those things are objective ****ing facts.
Yet you still cant concede the objective ****ing fact that Biden also acknowledges the above (the laws are shit, and disproportionately affect black people) has repudiated those laws, and literally was part of the legislature (as VP) that revoked them.
Stop cheering on a side, and be objective.
"He had criticized Reagan in 1981 for insisting on harsher sentences, arguing that prisons were already overcrowded and calling for alternative sentencing for non-violent offenders."
This is his flip flopping. He is a politician, a professional liar akin to lawyers and used car salesmen.
Joe Biden, Mass Incarceration Zealot
For years, Joe Biden was determined to make Democrats the tough-on-crime party. The 1994 Crime Bill and its expansion of mass incarceration was his crowning achievement.jacobin.com
Biden also took credit for the law: “As a matter of fact, I drafted the bill, if you remember.” - Joe Biden, 2016He literally repealled the provisions youre talking about in 2010!

Wrong, he was talking about the 94 crime bill.In 2016, the statute stood without provisions repealed prior to 2016. So he was taking credit for the present (2016) form of the statute.
As i said, he flip flops. He knows he should keep his mouth shut about how proud he is of his horrendous crime bills, but he just can't help himself.HE REPEALED IT!
****s sake mate.
Have you ever watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, Malifice ? You remind me of the computer, HAL-9000. He feels entitled to answers to his questions, and blames everyone but himself for his malfunction. I think I will start calling you MAL-9000.
MAL, you didn't agree at all. You've spent the last 2 pages trying to convince me Biden is a top bloke. He isn't. You have accused me previously of being bipartisan and taking a side, yet it it you who has taken a side and will defend it to the point of absurdity. You have done the same with the laptop. The russian disinfo BS about the laptop is just that, BS. It was spread so no one would question the censorship of a legit story. It worked on you, nobody is perfect but you can move on from that. My advice to you is to treat all politicians with mistrust and contempt, regardless of whether they crack their eggs at the big end or the little end.No, Im trying to have a dicussion with you.
Im asking you questions for your opinion on the topic we're discussing. Instead you simply ignore them and parrot points I've already agreed with you on multiple times.
Me: What's your opinion on X?
You: BIDEN AUTHORED THIS BILL AND ITS SHIT.
Me: I agree. Also, maybe you missed it but what is your opinion on X?
You: BIDEN AUTHORED THIS BILL AND ITS SHIT.
Me: Ummm... yeah. I agreed with you already. But what is your opinion on X?
You: BIDEN AUTHORED THIS BILL AND ITS SHIT.
Me: Yes. I know. You seem to be avoiding the question I'm asking you for some reason. What is your opinion on X?
You: BIDEN AUTHORED THIS BILL AND ITS SHIT.
Me: Dude I am literally agreeing with you. Can you please answer my question I've asked half a dozen times now?
You: BIDEN AUTHORED THIS BILL AND ITS SHIT.
Me: Screw it. You're deliberately obfuscating, and I already know the answer anyway. You're just too shit scared to admit it.
You: YOU'RE A COMPUTER FROM 2001 A SPACE ODDESSY. ALSO, BIDEN AUTHORED THIS BILL AND ITS SHIT.
Thats basically a summary of the past 2 pages of this thread.
Try being less of a flog, and actually answer difficult questions. I always answer the ones you put to me. For example, I'm more than prepared to agree with you (multiple times) that Biden is entering senility or dementia, he authored the above Bill, and it was shit.
All I'm asking is that you show me the same courtesy.
Whatever helps you sleep at nightNo it wasn't. The Republican party openly admit that the Russians have been engaged in cyberwarfare and psyops targeting the USA.
Specifically (among other things) the Russians interfered in the US election, by creating fake bot accounts (several of which you've linked on here) that spread deliberate misinformation, designed to interact with social media algorithims to cook vulnerable people (like you) into believing the things... which you now believe (but didnt before you sat down in front of your computer 10 years ago to 'do your own research').
There were also clear links to many Republican party hangers-on-ers, with many of them literally admitting to (and being imprisoned for) colluding with the Russians (or lying about it to the FBI). Some of whom Trump pardoned.
The Mueller report stopped short of recommending Trump be investigated directly, because they believed that Trump was immune from Criminal prosecution (so why bother) due to the fact he's the President of the US and they assumed he has Legal Immunity.
The question of whether he has legal immunity or not, is now about to come before the SCOTUS.
Caught up yet?
Wrong, he was talking about the 94 crime bill.
MAL, you didn't agree at all. You've spent the last 2 pages trying to convince me Biden is a top bloke.
Sorry, are you now pretending you never said you think there is evidence of corruption on the laptop, and that it wasn't pursued because both Chris Wray and Bill Barr are corrupt?You are just straight up disingenuous. You make up claims others have made and repeat them ad nauseum.
