Somewhere out there is a low-ish information voter whose takeaway is “wow, they’re seriously going back to that well? that’s all they have? Joe Biden really must be clean as a whistle”

So, that’s funny.

Faux News has really amped it up this week. Can a rabbit hole with no bottom be filled with infinite batshit?? Faux is trying to find out.

Rob Smith: Enthusiasm among Black voters is ‘just not there’ for Biden

Someone fucking bookmark that so we can return to it after the voting explosion this November.

It’s going to be wonderful seeing Hunter Biden standing on the steps of Congress, near his Dad, on January 20th… :slightly_smiling_face:

Balsanaro will tire of him quickly and send him back in a straight jacket.

I obviously don’t imbibe at Rudy levels. I can’t even see dots, much less connect them.

Well maybe they are afraid of being sued.

Or Rudy is just stupid. Maybe they should have hired Christopher Steele.

My Windows laptop died in April, and I took it to a computer shop for help getting files recovered from it (weird screwdriver needed to open the back and would require a special cable).

So NATURALLY my next step would be to never claim it or contact the shop again? Such bullshit.

And a lot of people don’t sort their emails into folders or save them elsewhere, so could recover them via any web browser inbox. Emails were the least of my concerns.

PS Luckily the laptop spluttered to life one more time at the shop, and the tech got the files before it caught on fire.

Ok - I know we are rightfully crapping on the NYP - but if one of your writers comes up with the headline, “Obama bin wankin’”, you gotta run it. Or sell it to Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update. That’s funny stuff.

Thanks for that detail - I laughed out loud.

ETA I confess had to create a mock invoice once, to get payment for a Mom-and-Pop vendor. For some reason, Purchasing wasn’t willing to pay the man based on a sticky note.

So . . . an Apple certified repair shop managed to access the customer’s e-mails but couldn’t get into the Contacts app to find a phone number for the customer?

Also, of course, this is an Apple certified repair shop that’s about to lose its certification.

Also, of course, there’s nothing about this that seems even remotely plausible.

It’s like a greatest hits compilation - Trump’s got an election coming up, so gin up a completely fabricated scandal about emails involving his rival which can never be disproved, but can be endlessly speculated about in the low-information echo chamber.

btw It’s so amazing that the shop owner had Rudy’s lawyer’s phone number. What a coincidence.

ETA die Discobot and your friend spellcheck. Always an impediment but never actually helpful - “lawyear”, really?

Rudy glommed onto Trump because they are two peas in a pod. Trump wanted to be a NY Real Estate crimelord and Rudy wanted to be an Italian Mafia don. Both were snubbed by their respective in crowds, so they could only commiserate together at being rejected.

Rudy: You don’t understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could’ve been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.
Trump: Yeah, you’re just like Don Corleone…

It’s so bizarre that to comment on it risks amplifying it.

Then why write an article about it?!! This site is the worst sometimes with your hyperventilating over everything the GOP does. Maybe just ignore some of the really stupid shit and spare us some anxiety?
