Not one 3 letter agency claimed the laptop was Russian disinformation. Mainly because none saw it as having any importance.
Not really accurate and to claim it didn't have any impact on the election is absolutely laughable.
CIA approved the letter so they were complicit. Likely any former Intell officer had to have theirs sign off as well.
The CIA conspired with former acting director Mike Morell and the Biden campaign to produce a letter falsely claiming that emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation — and solicited signatures from at least one former intelligence official, a staff report from the House Judiciary Committee is expected to reveal Wednesday.
Morell told the CIA’s Prepublication Classification Review Board (PCRB) that he needed the letter approved as an unusual “rush job” that day, October 19, 2020, in an effort to provide then-candidate Joe Biden ammunition in the final presidential debate to discredit The Post’s report on the Biden emails which had been published five days earlier.
That day, a CIA employee working for the PCRB solicited a signature for Morell’s letter from former CIA analyst David Cariens, according to a written statement by Cariens to the Subcommittees on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and Intelligence.
Cariens explained that he had been speaking with the PCRB about the prepublication review of his own memoir and during that phone call the CIA employee “asked” him if he would sign the draft letter.

Come on dude they or people tied to thme was saying "it looks like Russian disinformation" when the absolutely knew it wasn't. One former CIA director admitted this was done to help Biden. He was the one who wrote the letter they all signed.

Strange considering Arizona didn't become a state until 1912.

No real surprise.
Until there is unbiased media there can be no real campaign finance reform.
Expert NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner wrote an eye-opening editorial that appeared in The Free Press, claiming that the election of Donald Trump in 2016 inspired NPR reporters to look for ways to “damage or topple” his administration. He also said that the narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the White House “became the catnip that drove reporting” and that “we [NPR] hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff.”
“During a meeting, one of NPR’s best journalists said it was good we weren’t following the [Hunter] laptop story because it could help Trump,” he stated.

You're one of the more logical ones here, surprised you're getting confused with facts vs opinions. We can both find lots of facts on EVs and the pros and cons, but it comes down to opinion on which outweighs the other. Same with loan forgiveness - I don't agree with it, but I could find all sorts of positive benefits that someone could say, in their opinion, outweighs the cons.
This isn't rocket science, just need to take off your partisan blinders for a minute.
I can just see you now. My wife cheated on me but there are some positives to it.

Of course you can. I can probably find facts that dispute everything you find links for. Just because you or I feel strongly about an issue doesn't make it a fact. We don't all value things the same or have the same political views.
That's complete horseshit. You can find facts that show Biden has been better on immigration, or regulations, or EV/Green push, or ridiculous student loan forgiveness, or DEI push or foreign wars and their spending under his watch?
FFS dude I really thought you were smarter than this.
I swear some people on here push so hard to remain neutral or bipartisan it makes them look foolish. When a policy is shit its shit no matter which side pushed it.

I think that you missed his point. Your answers are your opinions as to what is wrong, not facts. I'm not saying that I don't agree with some of your opinions, but those are just my opinions.
No I did not. I can provide links with facts to virtually all of them.
Honestly tell me which one of those I was wrong on.

They’re all perfectly fine subjective answers. I’ll get a list from snowrider next and you two can debate policy like has been done since the beginning of time acting like everything’s black and white with no middle ground.
Thank you for proving my point.

Nope, you already made my point for me.
Please point out where I'm wrong with that list. Its really not all that subjective, anyone with half a brain can see Trump was better on virtually all of those.

Not saying I agree with him or not and like him or not he's one of the smartest on Wall Street. JPMorgan Chase which he took over in 2006 was the healthiest of all the major US banks during the 07-08 financial crisis. They were forced to take money otherwise investors would have flocked to them over others destroying the market once again.

Imo they thought they could use Ukraine as a battering Ram to eliminate Russia as a threat, then neuter China then Iran, but they miscalculated really, really badly. Now supposedly they’re warming China with some really strong language against helping Russia. Empty threats right now Imo.
I agree on using Ukraine to weaken Russia. I think that support has been the warning they feel they needed to give China and Iran as well.
Reality is the world is always at war to some degree. Today is actually far, far better than other times in history. I guess we should be thankful. During WW2 almost 30,000 people were dying a day on average. Similar amounts during WWI.

Dem and some repub neocons want war with one of three places at any given time. Russia, China and Iran. Right now the current ones chose Russia, and it’s going very badly. So they’ve been avoiding war with Iran at all costs. Israel is putting them in a really bad spot
If Israel forces the US into another front, it would make sense for China to scoop up Taiwan in the near future
Not that I disagree but that shit has been going on since the early 1900's or in reality since "countries" existed.
We are no more at a state of war with potential enemies today than we have been since before WWI. We played the proxy war games then just like we do now.

Love my diesel and this is the first one I haven't had tuned. I've never deleted one either CC or def.
I'll stick with a 3/4 ton but it will be gas however I might drive this one into the ground so to speak when I normally trade between 75K-90K.
Easily saved 15-20K miles the past two years with not going on as many trips up north.

This is the result of police being put on a pedestal and largely immune from criticism.
Yep...I put farmers in the same category for being on a pedestal they don't deserve.

A GOP congressman was on yesterday pushing for war funding because it would be good for American jobs because the weapons are made here.
If borrowed money spent in the US was good for the economy we wouldn't be $33+ trillion in fucking debt because it would have created more tax revenue than it cost. In fact every single country in the world could just deficit spend to prosperity. Absolutely shameful the idea that people dying in war is good for our workers.
