    Your new mod has spent the last 5 hours getting into a 50 comment deep argument over Hunter Biden’s laptop…

    Given that your new mod labels anything left of center right as trolling, this is a terrible idea, not to mention the other reasons that have been mentioned.

        And why is that?

        Are you just being a contrarian for the sake of it?

          Why? Because you’re the biggest troll here. If you’re scared of someone being added as a mod, it’s almost certainly because you’re scared that you might get punished for your crap

            Just somebody disagreeing with you doesn’t make them a troll.

            If you’re scared of someone being added as a mod,

            I’m not scared. There is no danger on my part from stupid ass decisions like this.

            I’m stating that it is a terrible idea to allow people to become mods when they:

            • Claimed people are trolls simply for disagreeing

            • Shown complete disregard for facts

            • Insult people

            it’s almost certainly because you’re scared that you might get punished for your crap

            Pointing out the facts isn’t crap.

            Most trolls are self aware and know they are trolling. Others…. Bless their hearts.

        That isn’t a conspiracy. There is a real laptop owned by Hunter Biden.

                Yes. Not sure if you have ever worked in cyber for law enforcement but that is what they would determine if the data has been manipulated. Anything that is questionable would be kicked out and anything that can’t be disputed would stay.

                The real question is there anything criminal on the laptop? That is up for debate.

                  https://www.vox.com/22992772/hunter-biden-laptop

                  In April 2019, someone dropped off three water-damaged laptops with him for repair, Mac Isaac claimed. He couldn’t say for sure who dropped them off, because he is legally blind, but he said the person identified himself as Hunter Biden…

                  No one ever returned to pick up the laptops, so Mac Isaac (an enthusiastic Trump supporter) started looking at what’s on one of them. He saw what he thought was lots of scandalous material…

                  per the New York Times, one reporter refused to put his name on the story due to credibility concerns…

                  Even though the story of the abandoned laptop is bizarre, speculation that there’s more to it remains just speculation.

                  There were two supposed “smoking guns” about Joe Biden that conservatives touted in the materials. The first was an email the Post called a “blockbuster,” in which an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma thanked Hunter for the “opportunity to meet your father” in 2015. … This appears to amount to Vice President Biden seemingly going to one dinner.

                  The second involved a business venture that Hunter tried to set up with a Chinese energy tycoon in 2017 (after Joe Biden was no longer vice president)…

                  So this amounts to Joe Biden apparently refusing some deal Hunter tried to enmesh him in. An alternative possibility is that Joe was not actually ever involved and that Hunter had just been throwing his name around.

                  All of this was indeed covered in the press in October 2020… So the real objection from conservatives is that they didn’t get the narrative they liked out of the mainstream media.

    Nice! The biggest troll in this community is making the second biggest troll into a mod!

    What a serious group of people discussing serious things LMAO!

    I look forward to more spurious reasoning and culture war bullshit.

    If your goal with this new mod is to further extreme far right conspiracy theories in this community you will hit that target very successfully.

    Otherwise it’s a complete failure.

    Which mod deleted the article post about the guy that lied about all the hunter evidence?

    You guys just straight up deleting stories because it doesn’t fit your narrative? Rule 2 says all sources are acceptable. That post has Fox News as a source.

      I did. It didn’t fit the criteria. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias.

        No actual discussion allowed, huh? Just bury your heads in the sand and yell “nah nah nah nah” so you can’t hear the truth.

          They’re conservatives, it’s to be expected. Actually engaging with the facts would make it rather hard to be conservative.

            This guy argued for five hours the other day about how no one involved with trying to pin something on Hunter Biden had a connect with Russia.

            Lo and behold the guy with all the evidence not only made it all up, but he’s also a Russian asset!

            Mod asking for proof instantly deletes stories about the proof. Lol

              Can’t have people learning what actually happened now, can we? That might make some people think about the conspiracies and news they’re spoonfed, and we can’t have that!

              This sort of thing is exactly what I predicted would happen when Wintermute got mod perms, so this isn’t a surprise lmao

    Hoooooo boy. What’s next, Momo on the mod team? I sense a lot of future bans for “trolling” real soon.
