Bill Maher Slams Libs Defending Censorship Of Hunter Laptop: "he was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden"
[LI] Every once in a while Bill Maher gets something right. On a recent show, Maher shocked has-been actor Rob Reiner with the fact that the media has finally admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop was not only real but that they buried it to ensure that President Trump was not reelected.

Here at LI, we covered the Hunter Biden laptop story, the media purposefully ignoring it, and Big Tech purposefully throttling it on social media. The latter we’ve since learned occurred because the DOJ and its enforcement arm, the FBI, have determined that meddling in elections to promote Democrats is part of their job description.

#4  What was bill saying at the time? he was part of the pack that refused to believe. He should be looking around and opening his eyes about a lot of things right now but he won't. He can't. it'll crush him to know how very, very wrong he's been about nearly everything since he moved from Comedy Central to HBO and gave up libertarianism for socialism.

-Great Cultural Revolution
Wayne A. Root: Here is Who is to Blame for the Covid Vaccine Disaster and Coverup. Hint: It's Not President Donald J. Trump
[GatewayPundit] Every day it becomes more clear what a disaster the Covid vaccine is. Data from all over the world is showing proof that those who are vaccinated are much sicker, more often hospitalized, and dying in far higher numbers than the unvaccinated.

In both Europe and the USA, the mortality data clearly shows a massive, never-before-seen-in-world-history, increase in non-Covid deaths since literally the day the vaccine mandates started.

In the beginning, I was one of the only radio and TV hosts pointing out what a disaster this was and how terrible the early results were. But I sure was feeling mighty lonely. Most conservative TV and radio hosts went along with the fraud. Of course, it turns out their networks were paid millions of dollars to coverup the deadly results from the Covid vaccine.

Now suddenly everyone is waking up from an almost two-year slumber. The lightbulbs are going off. Conservative talk star Dan Bongino just days ago called getting the vaccine “the biggest regret of my life.” He now realizes he has a ticking timebomb in his body that could cripple or kill him sometime soon. He regrets getting it. He regrets ever encouraging his fans and listeners to get it.

Tucker Carlson has gone from warning the Covid vaccine doesn’t work and it’s a huge failure, to reporting dramatically rising death rates in countries all over the world. He even reported data that shows you’re much more likely to die if you’re vaccinated versus unvaccinated.

Welcome to my world Tucker. I’ve been reporting this data every day on my national radio show for the past 18 months.

When everyone around you is vaccinated and dying, I guess there comes a point where it’s hard to avoid admitting there’s a disaster going on. So now even Democrats are starting to talk about vaccine deaths and injuries. But guess who they’re blaming?

Democrats live by the saying, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” So now they’re starting to blame President Trump. Right now, it’s a trickle. Soon it will be a tsunami. This will be the new Democrat talking point moving forward.
Mr. Root’s list: Dr. Fauci, the CDC and WHO, President Biden and his administration, the media including Fox News and Newsmax, doctors, Big Pharma and vaccine manufacturers.
And then there’s President Trump. The man Democrats want to stop at all costs. The frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election. The man they’ve tried to destroy since the day he announced for president. The man they illegally spied on. The man they’ve tried to frame so many times I’ve lost count. And now they want to frame him for the Covid vaccine gone wrong.

The so-called “medical experts” are responsible for the biggest disaster in history, lying to President Trump, committing fraud against the people, then acting in conspiracy to cover it up.

Trump was taken advantage of, just like the American people. They defrauded us all- and these criminals are responsible for mass negligence, leading to mass murder, and then mass fraud to coverup the truth.

It’s not “Trump’s vaccine.” People are dying from the vaccines all over the world. Is it “Trump’s vaccine” in UK, Scotland, Portugal, Netherlands, Israel, or Canada- where some of the worst vaccine death data are being reported.

More importantly, Trump was against vaccine mandates from the first day. That would have protected millions of American workers who were forced by Biden to choose between their jobs and the vaccine. With Trump as President they never would have been forced to make that choice. How many employees of large corporations would be alive today if Trump was President?

So, desperate Democrats who conned and forced the American people into taking a deadly experimental vaccine can try to blame Trump, but that dog won’t hunt. Democrats praised the vaccine, Democrats mandated millions get the death shot, Democrats slandered anyone who told the truth, Democrats called reports of vaccine deaths and injuries “misinformation.”

This is their debacle. This is their disaster. This is their Waterloo. Blaming Trump is just one more expansion of the world’s most insane political witch-hunt.

#1  Again, my tin hat conspiracy theory tuned brain says it was never about controlling the virus.
It was a continuation the Eugenics foundation of the ruling class
Look at who died the most from the vaccines: the elderly, people of color and people with underlying morbidity
The vaccines were designed to thin the herd and flush out the high cost consumers of health care
I thin the blatant fraud in the clinical trials would render the blanket immunity moot
This Covid pandemic lockdown and vaccine mandate is mass murder

#2  ^ And overall, it was a failure. Which means, when they try again, they will err on the side of gruesome overkill.

'If Trump is indicted, there'll be riots': GOP Senator Lindsey Graham threatens unrest if ex-president is prosecuted and says there is 'double standard' over the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid and Hunter Biden laptop scandal
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It would be salutary for those who think this a clever game to understand that there are real and long term risks for them and their way of doing things, and riots is a useful shorthand to get their attention.
  • Senator Lindsey Graham has warned of 'riots in the streets' if former President Trump is prosecuted for his handling of classified materials

  • The materials were found when the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida

  • 'If there's a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information, after the Clinton debacle… there'll be riots in the streets,' Graham told Fox News

  • Graham suggested Trump is treated with 'a double standard' compared to others

  • He attempted to make comparisons with the Democrats and the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop with FBI being told to 'back off' prior to 2020 election

If there are NOT riots then what do you think will stop the deep state? Certainly not guys pecking at their keyboards.

#2 
OK, before anyone thinks LG grew a pair?
Please, stop and note, he is not supporting Trump.

LG is saying Trump is Guilty as Hillary and others, and MAGA supporters will riot to support his illegal actions. Thus also saying MAGA is criminal.

#6  BLM riots modified law enforcement behavior. Maybe a few good MAGA protests will help the FBI see the light.

#9  Riots? No. The beginning of the physical separation of one part of the country from the other leading to secession? Yes.

Oh, and Lindsey, shut your fucking piehole and stop giving the deep stat you serve excuses to become even more facistic against their political foes.

Government Corruption
F'ing Charlie Kirk begs the FBI not to hurt him
[RevolverNews] WARNING: MAGA, The FBI Is Going to Try to Entrap You, Don’t Take the Bait

While it is true that a few irresponsible actors made some wild and false accusations about the 2020 election, most conservatives’ concerns were quite valid. Literally everything about the election was unprecedented and warranted more scrutiny at the legal level. And so throughout November and December, peaceful rallies took place across the country, with attendees promising to raise their voices in unison to let their leaders know they weren’t happy with how their elections were managed.

And Christmas was enjoyed with family and friends, Dr. Fauci’s edicts be damned.

On the political level, I supported efforts to apply more scrutiny to election integrity. Challenges were still ongoing in various courtrooms across the country, and nobody really knew what was going to happen. But with many high-profile conservatives talking about voter fraud, there was ample reason to hold out hope.

Two short weeks later, everything was ruined. A throng of MAGA supporters, with sometimes tacit approval from Capitol Police, got caught up in the moment and stormed the Capitol building on that now infamous day, January 6th, 2021.

Don’t get me wrong, the left-wing media has greatly exaggerated and lied about what happened that day. 99.9% of the Trump supporters who came to Washington on January 6 acted completely peaceful and lawful. But the tiny mob that ran into the building was ruthlessly exploited by the left-wing media to demonize and criminalize Trump supporters as "traitors" and "domestic violent extremists."

Thus, "January 6th" has replaced 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg, and the burning of the White House in liberal American folklore. Random people who snapped a selfie in the Capitol were imprisoned in horrendous conditions. Some are still rotting in their cells.

#1  Conservative America, on the other hand, wasn’t so sure about the election results. In their estimation, Joe Biden, who ran a campaign from his basement, was dragged across the finish line by a coalition of big tech censors, highly questionable vote-by-mail schemes, and an establishment media environment so hostile to the sitting president that it would rather ruin itself than allow Trump to once again sit in the Oval (see CNN)

So Charlie, what's not to protest???

#2  Charlie is right and ESAD and the title aren't rebuttals or showing he's incorrect (common with articles one disagrees with here) and they aren't funny (Most inane or innacurate comments can be excused if they are funny).
