My Trumpy neighbor, commenting on that stunning video footage, once again demands

[CTyankee]

"what about Hunter Biden's lap top"???

This has got to be painful for him.

[TheRealNorth]

1. Sad little man

Almost as sad his god-emperor.

[CTyankee]

8. He's a good man, wonderful neighbor, wants to help us out all the time...

I just can't figure out why he is so angry at liberals. He knows we are liberals...I don't get it and never will...

[blueknight73]

22. Because

He's f*cked up in the head because of Trump. He drank the kool aid and there's no going back

[CTyankee]

30. someday we'll figure it out, I'm sure

SMH

[Traildogbob]

35. Not just trump

This has been going on for decades. White wing media and Corporate USA, hell bent on power and no taxes for them. The Rush Limpballs’ of the country have been stoking this shit all along. Trump jumped on, saw the cash benefit and the fools that will fund his terrorism and power. He learned from Rush, Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert and the likes, the cash is there for the taking. This country is full of fools. A gold mic and 50 million are year for bullshitting, what he’s done his whole life, why the hell not. A Jim Jones today could have a cult of 74 million. I’d would chip in for the Kool Aid. Serve it in plastic cups with the confederate flag and a swastika. With Lee Greenwood music.

[vlyons]

46. Well he has to blame somebody "out there" for his suffering and frustrations

Because his suffering and frustrations couldn't possibl y be the consequences of his own life choices.

[CTyankee]

60. Actually, that's not true. He and his wife lost a baby born too soon to survive. It was so sad.

I felt so terrible for them, I started giving to the foundation they started in her name. I know how much they suffered. So I can't be angry with them and actually some of their friends on Facebook have asked him on occasion if he's "okay."

They were also victims of a home invasion a while back and we were so horrified my husband got a home security system set up in our house.

I think he might have psychological seizures of some sort. I just hope he has good meds.

[BlackSkimmer]

49. I imagine he'd be immensely flattered to know how you bring us his thoughts so often.

[czarjak]

54. "Nothing you say will change my mind" is what we're up against.

They mean it! It’s now, “I’m tired of your truths”. They mean now more than ever too.

[TheRealNorth]

59. While it's just my opinion

Anyone that wants to install a fascist dictator isn't a good person, no matter civil they may seem.

[mzmolly]

2. Is there more video of Jan 6

on Hunter's laptop?

That'd be my question to the neighbor.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Realities

[FarPoint]

4. Tell him the truth..

There NEVER was a Hunter Biden Laptop....Never...

[Tetrachloride]

5. Did the laptop riot? Ask him that.

Kill any American police ?

[viva la]

6. Ask him, "Okay, what about the laptop?"

When he gets tangled up in all the different lies, say, "And how many cops ended up dead by that laptop? How many rooms of a federal building got vandalized by that laptop? How many hourly workers were terrorized by that laptop?"

[CTyankee]

12. He would say "NO, NO, NO..." and walk away

[sop]

23. My response whenever I'm told something stupid by a Trump follower: "Tell me about it."

What follows is usually incoherent nonsense, or lies stated with absolute certainty. It's amazing how little they know about their own political beliefs and current events.

[Midnight Writer]

34. Me, too. I ask simple questions and they tie themselves into knots.

[CTyankee]

65. This is a good response. Usually, they are not prepared to argue and just fall back on something to

grab on.

Here's another idea: "I see you're upset about that laptop. Tell me more..."

[uponit7771]

66. +1, FAUX NewZ exploits human Anchor Bias; humans tendency to believe first perspective they hear

[Botany]

7. The Hunter Biden's lap top is a Russian produced meme. Show him this:

A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset (this is from the senate intel committee run by republicans)

He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

Donald Trump was a tool in a long-running Russian campaign to weaken the United States. That’s been documented in Republican-led investigative reports, and now it has been updated with new evidence, thanks to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of the 2020 election. The report, drafted by the CIA, the FBI, and several other agencies, was released in unclassified form on Tuesday, but it was presented in classified form on Jan. 7. In other words, it was compiled, written, and edited during Trump’s administration. It destroys his lies about the election, and it exposes him as a Russian asset.

Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

[CTyankee]

10. You and I both know he'd say: FAKE NEWS!

I just wonder what happened to him that made him so bitterly angry against liberals?

[mikeysnot]

15. Fox news

2 minute hate. 24/7.

[Botany]

32. Ask him about: The daily contacts between Putin's Alfa Bank Computer Server and Trump's Computer ..

.... in the little town of Lititz, Pennsylvania.

Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?
A team of computer scientists sifted through records of unusual Web traffic in search of answers.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/was-there-a-connection-between-a-russian-bank-and-the-trump-campaign

Nothing fake about this story.

[jaxexpat]

52. Iran/Contra was unbearable for them. Hillary's Heathcare plans made too much sense.

They invented Whitewater and Bill's impeachment without grounds. It could not have been very long before the Russians saw just how easy it was to take advantage of the US's election system to cripple the government? Trump was the result of a pretty long-term scheme the fruit of which was actually placing his bull ass in the oval office China shop. That's how the "second coming of Peter the Great" wound up with his lackey running the ruining of America's shining city on the hill just in time to "retake" the Ukraine. Oh, BTW, Zelensky's running out of arms and he will continue to run out of arms until Russia either wins or starts WWIII trying. Nothing reinvents the world like American elections. Water is wet and stuff, too. Perhaps the new telescope will bring things into focus.

[aka-chmeee]

9. Who has had possession of said laptop?

If the republicans have had it even for 10 minutes, how can anything on it have any value?

[TigressDem]

11. How many police officers died trying to defend Hunter's laptop? nt

[CTyankee]

16. all those "LIES" you mean?

I think he just can't handle the truth!!!

[TigressDem]

18. I am more about comparing the damage the laptop did compared to the riots.

tRump's lies have torn this country apart.

[mopinko]

13. yeah, all this time they havent even proven it was his laptop.

or that he dropped it off. only that it had data on it that belonged to him.
it's evidence of a crime, but not hunter's.

[sarcasmo]

14. Whataboutism is the GOP fall back.

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Poor guy. Can't he come up with something better

than that?

[Chainfire]

19. My neighbors have not yet burned out on "her emails."

[Effete Snob]

20. Get your neighbor this book

[Basic LA]

26. LOL

Little Golden Book!

[Generic Brad]

37. I had that one

Don’t remember what was written. But the cover is branded into my memory.

[andym]

21. Simon (Fox News) says Hunter Bidens laptop

and their brainwashed listeners respond-- like a cult they need eprogramming.

[babylonsister]

24. Tell him Hannity is no longer worried about Hunter

so he can rest easy.

Trumpland
Hannity Proposed Hunter Biden Pardon to ‘Smooth Over’ Jan. 6
Died on the Vine
The Jan. 6 Committee revealed a weird text message during its first hearing Thursday night. A person familiar with negotiations confirmed that it's as weird as you think.

[fightforfreedom]

25. All Trump voters suffer from, what aboutism

[MLAA]

27. It does make me wonder how he would treat you if you were black or transgender.

It’s heartbreaking to see people we know/knew be so far gone.

[Midnight Writer]

36. True. I get along fine with my Trumpie neighbors, but I look just like one of them.

I doubt they would be so accepting if I didn't.

[Mr. Ected]

28. Ask him "what is preventing a full investigation of Hunter Biden's laptop?"

Let's all demand an investigation! Let's gather the facts. Let's examine the evidence. Let's hold hearings. Just like Hillary's emails. Just like Benghazi. Sure, it'll cost taxpayers millions of wasted dollars...but like you suggested in the past, let's cut 5 million dollars in spending to cover the costs.

"Haven't you come to realize yet that all your criminal accusations never survive an investigation? Don't you see the pattern here? FOX lies, my friend. They exist to rile you up. But it never amounts to anything whatsoever. Even when you held the White House, the Congress and the judiciary, your scandals always fizzle. Wake up. The alternate reality is the one YOU are living in, not me."

[MacKasey]

29. Wasn't the chain of evidence broken on the laptop

As soon as the computer guy touch that laptop and who knows what he did with it

Also he made a copy of the drive and gave it to Rudy

Has it ever been proven that Hunter Biden brought the laptop in to be repaired

The whole thing smells like a set up

[CTyankee]

31. I really don't think he knows much about the whole story. For some reason, it zaps something in his

psyche to start in. I'm a little afraid he'll go there actually...

[barbtries]

33. i hope so.

i hope it's so painful he starts to wonder why he keeps parroting the bullshit he found online or fox news.

[Traildogbob]

38. Why have we

Never “demanded” to see Kushner’s and Ivanka’s laptop. 2 billion cash, from Saudies and $650 million pay while in the upper levels of the Admin. Hunter never worked for our government. Kushner and Pardons??????? His laptop should be demanded every damn time a GQP ass brings up Hunter’s name. Let’s offer a trade, Biden’s for the Kush laptop. Show their tax returns, how much did those two pay in taxes on that?

[lees1975]

39. My response to that, and to statements about Hillary's email is

Did you read them?

What's on Hunter Biden's laptop that has anything to do with January 6th? In fact, what's on Hunter Biden's laptop?

They have conspiracy theories, but they don't have facts.

[LuckyCharms]

40. Just calmly tell your neighbor that

Hunter Biden's laptop didn't smear human feces on the walls of the Capitol, nor did it search the Capitol Building for the Vice President with the intent of murdering him.

[CTyankee]

43. I don't think he has put that together in his head. I think he is disturbed.

I'm a little afraid of what he'll do after ALL the committee's videos are brought forward.

It's one thing to "see" things in your head, another to have your brain soaked in images of what really happened that day.

I wouldn't be surprised if he just stopped watching these videos. No more...

[Kaleva]

41. Ask him why TFG did nothing about Hunter's laptop

That will answer his question.

[llmart]

42. Thinking is probably painful for him.

You should just respond with, "Well, bless your heart" and walk away.

[milestogo]

44. That's all they got?

[OverBurn]

45. I flipped from CNN over to fox in the hour before it started, they were talking about "the laptop".

The fox idiot watchers are brainwashed. Whatever fox and their dear leader says is the only "truth", it's a cult.

[Patton French]

47. Their deflection is a well-honed tool. N/T

[Ford_Prefect]

48. Ask the poor thing why he's chasing a MacGuffin, occasionally referred to as a Red Herring (Уловка).

It is rather like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. Everyone seems to want it but no one can say what it really is, and it has no specific value by the end of the story. In real terms it is a false clue which fools people into assuming it has genuine importance.

Someone above pointed out that no one to date has verified that the laptop in question ever belonged to Hunter or contains verifiable original data.

In Russian A Red Herring is known as a Уловка (Trick).

MacGuffin:

In fiction, a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself. The term was originated by Angus MacPhail for film, adopted by Alfred Hitchcock and later extended to a similar device in other fiction.

The MacGuffin technique is common in films, especially thrillers. Usually, the MacGuffin is revealed in the first act, and thereafter declines in importance. It can reappear at the climax of the story but may actually be forgotten by the end of the story. Multiple MacGuffins are sometimes derisively identified as plot coupons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin
******************************************

Red Herring:

A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false conclusion. A red herring may be used intentionally, as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies (e.g., in politics), or may be used in argumentation inadvertently.

[Evolve Dammit]

50. grasping at straws and in full, complete, brainwashed denial. Don't expect much. They are gone

[xxqqqzme]

51. Hunter Biden's laptop is so old by now

it has been recycled.

[mchill]

53. I got why was General Patreus affair publicized

Right before his Benghazi testimony.

The Whataboutism is alive and well.

[iemanja]

55. The fact is they don't care if Trump is a criminal

In fact, it probably makes them like him more.

[AverageOldGuy]

56. How many . . .

[Mustellus]
