But like you, they do indulge in treating unproven allegations as fact. Can you share with us how you know that Hunter Biden actually left that computer in the shop?

1. His signature on the receipt might be a bit of a giveaway.

2. The lack of denial from anyone in the Biden camp about the authenticity of either the computer or the contents of the emails found in it.

Someday, somewhere, someone is going to come up with the idea that it's possible to duplicate signatures. I suggest that they call that practice forgery.

Just maybe the lack of denial is due to the fact that they don't want to give give it the rumor mill's equivalent of oxygen: controversy.

You're right, it is possible. Once the signature is presented though, the burden shifts.  Again, nobody  connected with Biden suggests that it is forged.  Instead, they cry "smear" and run for cover. The deflection tactics being used by the Biden campaign are a dead giveaway that there is something to the story.  

 

They don't have to worry too much about giving the story oxygen though. The media is already smothering it nicely for them. Joe himself takes no questions at any of his events as far as I have heard, the media is kept far from him on those few occasions when he ventures out of his home.   The President of the US needs to be vigorous and energetic.  I have yet to see that Biden is physically up to the job.

As I pointed out already, it could be that nobody connected with the Biden campaign is going to suggest anything in order not to give those allegations oxygen. But if they did start engaging with those allegations, then the press would cover it.

Well if you have yet to see that Biden is physically up to the job who do these gerontologists think they are to disagree with you?

Biden is slightly healthier, study says, but both presidential candidates may be ‘super-agers’

The presidential candidates and their supporters will likely keep belittling the other guy as a doddering old fool, but a group of geriatric experts say in a new paper that both President Trump and challenger Joe Biden appear to have the physical and cognitive tools to make it through four years in the White House.

In fact, the two candidates’ relative good health and other advantages — parental longevity, access to top-notch healthcare and abstinence from smoking and drinking — suggest both men are likely to become long-living “super-agers,” who thrive well into their 80s, or beyond, according to a draft report written by three medical doctors and four researchers with expertise in public health, survival analysis and statistics.

Three of the authors of the paper — Stuart Jay Olshansky, a public health professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago; Dr. Bradley Willcox, director of research in the Department of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Hawaii’s medical school; and UCLA Professor Hiram Beltran-Sanchez, an authority on the demographics of aging — wrote previously about how presidents tend to outlive average Americans.

I note that the article talks a lot about physical health, not so much about cognitive ability.  I would agree that physically, he is in pretty decent shape for a man of 77. 

 

 However, it is obvious that Biden is significantly "challenged", especially if you compare 2020 Joe Biden to even 2012 Joe Biden. He was notably sharper, more humorous, and able to engage without memory loss even a few years ago.  These aren't the funny gaffes that Joe was famous for. There are constant and significant lapses in memory and ability to concentrate that are frankly frightening.

Of course he lies. He's becoming a politician.  Before that, he was a classic New York City BS artist. Goes with the territory. Now Joe Biden on the other hand has 47 years of sterling service to the nation. Must be easy to point to several keystone achievements that he has accomplished, such as:

 

a/ achieving energy independence

b/ enabling peace in the Middle East

c/ reducing unemployment to historic lows for minorities

d/ reducing tensions with North Korea

e/ realigning American policy towards Asia

 

...oops, wrong candidate. Sorry.

a/  didn't quite achieve energy independence under Obama, still not quite there under Trump.

b/  by breaking agreements that limited Iran's production of nuclear material Trump has motivated Iran to produce more enriched uranium.  That doesn't enable peace.

c/  a big increase in deficit spending resulted in a small boost to the strong economy Trump inherited.  Then he mismanaged the pandemic.

d/  other than giving Kim Jong Un greater domestic and international credibility, how has Trump reduced tensions with North Korea?

e/  by abandoning international agreements such as the TPP which would have contained China, Trump has greatly empowered China.  So yeah, he has definitely realigned US policy towards Asia.

So before becoming a politican and therefore ly9ing,  he was a "classic New York City BS artist". Are you suggesting that BS artists whether from New York City or not, don't lie. Is there such a thing as a BS artist who doesn't lie? Isn't that the essence of being a BS artist?

If someone said they had a hard drive from a computer you got rid of years ago, could you definitely say it was or wasn't yours?  If they presented you with thousand of emails they said came from that hard drive and some of them looked legit, could you definitely say that all of them were legit?

 

Most important, does anything in the questionable hard drive provide evidence that Joe Biden has done anything wrong?

Do you think Trump has never shown lapses and inability to concentrate?

The best but is Fox News ‘smothering’ it, because Fox News are so much part of the Biden campaign.

Republicans are trying to invalidate about 100.000 cast votes in texas, in a Democratic county.

Yes, keeping the election honest is a republican initiative. Voter fraud is rampant these days. Just ask Joe.

No. Suppressing votes is the only way republicans win. You've posted an obvious gaffe. Biden has been doing gaffes all his political life. That's baked in. You know what he really meant and also that video was very short so possibly revealing context was intentionally edited out.

Something to consider.

For the purposes of this forum, the "campaigning" is basically long over.

Except for maybe a few people who are in the U.S. now and planning to vote on election day or in the last days of early in person voting in their states (and also drop boxes if available). 

It's too late to mail in a ballot in the U.S. and certainly from Thailand. 

Not that these discussions change anyone's mind. 

Just keeping it real.

We're basically waiting for results now and it might be a very long wait!

Geez, Biden may go down as the least articulate candidate in history.  Not helping him at the polls.

If the Republicans had been trying to keep the election honest, they would have protested against the drive by voting before it began. Instead they waited until it was over. This is clearly an attempt to slash the Democratic vote. The Republicans got lucky in that they drew an extremely biased judge for the first round of appeals. But the actual law passed by the state legislature is against them. It specifically authorizes the procedure that Harris County follows. So it should fail somewhere up the ladder.

Whatever, winning or losing, it will be interesting to see how many voters will even prefer to vote for Mr. Biden than for Mr. Trump. 

 

Definitely millions more but that wasn't enough for HRC to win last time, so we're all on edge.

Texas’ top court denies a G.O.P. push to throw out over 120,000 votes; a federal case is pending.

The Texas Supreme Court denied an effort by Republicans to throw out more than 120,000 votes that had already been cast at drive-through locations in Harris County, leaving Republicans’ only remaining option at the federal level.

The ruling from the court came without comment.

The effort to get rid of the votes from largely Democratic Harris County now hinges on a nearly identical effort at the federal level, where a judge has called an election-eve hearing for Monday.
