Sen. Wendy Rogers shared sexual images of Hunter Biden with her more than 300K followers on Twitter, where users have to be at least 13 years old to sign up.

    So Hunter has his leaked nudes removed from Twitter. Conservatives saw this as an opportunity to claim a larger coverup. When nothing came to light and Hunter was found guilty of a few other charges they have resorted to literally just posting his leaked nudes.

    I’m sorry but if this isn’t just one of the more revealing things about the GOP, I don’t know what is. Make something very normal and done by many people, including members of the GOP, and manipulate the facts to fit a narrative. Push that narrative to the extreme until Fox News reports it as FACT. Hope that wins a few votes in whatever upcoming election. When the initial info is revealed to be bullshit, the plan did its job.

    Why post the nudes photos? Because some GOP didn’t get the hint that this was just political propaganda and are following through. The same reason Comet Pizza has been threatened with gun violence.

      This is something I’ve noticed in recent years too - take something ordinary and normal, whip up a big frenzy over it, and then bask in the chaos.

      Not just this but a lot of things. Usually it’s some court procedure, some clerical process, something actually quite boring. I remember during the election they were getting mad over ballots being picked up by some guy in a van - well, that’s the guy who picks em up

      It’s like getting mad at the mailman for delivering the mail. But you can dramatize anything - every single day a man who you probably don’t even know drives around your neighborhood and stops at every single house. He has things which are your property and sometimes he even takes things out of your mailbox and puts them in a bag where you can’t see them anymore, probably never again. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

        Remember that a woman and her daughter continue to have their lives turned upside down because one was caught on camera handing the other a mint, and the GOP have still not let it go to this day.

          I’m not familiar with this one. What happened?

          Edit: people, I’m out of the loop and would like someone to summarize what happened instead of giving me only one detail per post and making me guess the rest.

            It’s all in the January 6th hearings. While it was pushing a narrative the message was very clear and it’s a shame that he’s not being conducted on bigger shit yet.

            Essentially Trump and Guliani intentionally called out these individuals as part of some secret operation. Now she seems her mother as well as many others like them are no longer public servants and they’ve had to move because people are crazy.

              Can you give me a little more info? There was a mention during Jan 6 hearings that someone passed a mint, and GOP is now angry why?

                They thought it was a flash drive. Basically making assumptions about a process they know most people know nothing about. The third hearing I think was the one in question.
