Thanks so much for sharing Heather's opinion (whoever she is). Personally, I've seen better op-eds.

But it is what it is.

BTW, regarding the (now tiresome) Russain connection claim: DNI Ratcliffe: Hunter Biden's emails are 'not part' of Russian disinformation campaign

For those in Rio Linda, DNI means Director of National Intelligence. Make of it what you will. But please keep in mind, his words are, for all intents and purposes, the horses mouth. That is, raw facts, not opinion.

Trump's search for dirt falls flat

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-ho...irt-falls-flat

Donny is a cornered rat. Every attempt to dig up dirt on his political opponents has failed, miserably (though ignorant Trumpkins like this Insane idiot have already, conveniently, forgotten). Donny (and clowns like Insane) is DESPERATE to PROVE something here. He will stoop to any level to do so. Facts, of course, don't matter to Donny or ignorant Trumpkins.

Trump said out loud he is willing to go so low as to ask his attorney general to indict political opponents without any basis, weeks before the election.

Faced with collapsing poll numbers, Trump is open to using federal law enforcement to divert attention from his divisive talk and his failed handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

And he is still going at it, trying to go lower than low.

In the tradition of crime families, he turned to old friends to get the job done.

Rudy Giuliani and Stephen Bannon alerted the New York Post to emails suggesting that Trump’s opponent in the November election, Joe Biden, possibly met a top executive at a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, at the request of his son, Hunter Biden, who was on the firm’s board.

Bannon, who was indicted on federal fraud charges in August, contacted the paper about the emails, which were supposedly found on a hard drive left in a Delaware computer repair shop. Giuliani, the former New York mayor who also is under investigation, then gave a copy of the hard drive to the New York paper.

The story took flight on pro-Trump websites, especially after Facebook and Twitter declined to let their platforms be used to circulate the potentially explosive but unverified information.

Mainstream newspapers and computer security professionals pointed out that Giuliani refused to produce the actual emails, and there is no evidence that the then-vice president ever met with the man.

The Washington Post reported the next day that national security officials at the White House were warned last year that “Giuliani was being used to feed Russian misinformation to the president.”

The New York Times noted that American intelligence officials “had picked up chatter that stolen Burisma emails would be leaked in the form of an ‘October surprise.’”

So, a third attempt by Trump to launch an October Surprise remained grounded.

A fourth effort involved pressuring Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.

Ratcliffe declassified intelligence from the time of the 2016 campaign, including reports that Hillary Clinton’s campaign wanted to call attention to Russia’s ties to the Trump campaign.

This is the same reporting that the Senate Intelligence Committee, with a Republican majority, long ago discarded as unimportant.

Why? The committee heard from every U.S. intelligence agency that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump and damage Clinton.

But Trump later tweeted that he authorized “the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the greatest political CRIME in American history, the Russia Hoax.”

And Ratcliffe ended up in a mud fight that damaged his reputation.

Former acting CIA Director Mike Morrell and former Under Secretary of Defense Mike Vickers called Ratcliffe’s actions “the most blatant and egregious politicization of intelligence that we, two career intelligence officers, have ever seen,” in a Washington Post op-ed calling for Ratcliffe to resign.

Trump’s political rhetoric has long been divorced from reality, much less a coherent strategy to win reelection.

But at best his repeated attempts to ignite an October Surprise seem to rely on grievances from the 2016 race — most of all, the same old attacks on Hillary Clinton.

Trump is now a desperate man clinging to power to stave off the humiliation of a defeat on Election Day.

I read that article this morning. I found it comical that they pin the story on Trump at all. And This line is especially funny: "Every attempt to dig up dirt on his political opponents has failed, miserably..."

That, my friend, is what is called "projection". How did the Russia investigation go? How about the impeachment? I believe Barr and Durham are still "digging up dirt" regarding the FISA warrant. Let us see how that goes.

What worries me most at this point is what will Agent Orange do in a last ditch effort to keep his job. He's behind in all the polls, various voter suppression tactics aren't going as planned, his gotcha's against Biden aren't working, the early voting is setting records and reportedly favoring the Democrats. What's a dictator wannabe to do start a war? It's not like he'd be sending any of his family into harms way.

Just for fun.

VIDEO: Media Puts On Laughably Phony Public Face Over Hunter Biden Scandal

As of last night....The FBI has stonewalled requests by Congressional leaders about the Biden laptop

Lots of other fun and related tweets there as well.

Weird stuff going on...

Wayne Allyn Root provides UPDATE on Hunters laptop

I just verified again. Spoke to high level source who watched Hunter’s laptop. Thousands of filthy disgusting disgraceful images & videos of Hunter having sex w/young gals. “Sickening” he said. But obviously while all looked young & many looked underage, no ages stamped on faces

I guess time will tell if this is really true. But if it's not, a LOT of pundits and news sources are going to have egg on their faces. Of course, that's doubly true if it IS true.

It definitely looks like they're having an oddly difficult time sweeping this under the rug. The Buyden "lid" until the next debate is not helping his cause, either.

Trump is Compromised - Really American

https://youtu.be/e_AluqvHcEA

He takes the words of the Saudi Prince and Russian Dictator over our own intelligence community. He overrides Congress to sell them billions weapons. He pays more taxes abroad than he does in America. He abandons our allies to do the bidding of our enemies. Why? Because he's indebted to them. #TrumpIsCompromised

Fox News Passed on Hunter Biden Laptop Story Over Credibility Concerns

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/exclusiv...lity-concerns/

Even Faux "News" knew this story wasn't credible, and refused to publish it. The news side of Faux apparently still has some tiny sliver of cred. The opinion side, of course, is nothing but propaganda.
