Don't be obtuse. It isn't just about what they found in the laptop. The realty that our elected officials and national security personnel knowingly worked to suppress the story is just as if not more important.kalm wrote: ↑Tue Mar 18, 2025 3:06 pmIt didn’t.GannonFan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 18, 2025 1:36 pm

I agree that’s wrong. I’m just learning not to expect anything different from our political class.
Even if something is erroneous, once the rumors get out, the worst might as well have happened.

Even if Hemingway was an actual commie (disputable based on his writings and he was an opponent of communist Russia) his experiences still make him qualified to express the quote above that you seem to take issue with.
You do know there are no good totalitarians? Right or left. Stalin or Trump….
If you agree, you should have zero issue with his quote.

lol that you can’t understand the comparison and that it’s completely driven by actions, speeches, and gestures.
Who’s triggered again? The people terrified of woke and developmentally disabled people?
