The reporters literally didn't want their names attached to it because they knew it was bullshit.

The narrative shifted really fast from, "don't share the leaked/ hacked emails", to "the emails are fake". Has anyone in the Biden camp stated the emails were falsified?

I can't imagine how anyone with an IQ over 75 could find "Biden is corrupt" to be a compelling issue in this election.

That stopped being the story once social media and mainstream media tried to squash it.

Why can't they make it mandatory to pass some relatively simple test before being eligible to vote (or have kids, for that matter)? How can people make good, well informed decisions if they are incapable of being well informed?

Yeah I don't think for a second this changes anything, and maybe I'm giving too much credit, but I assume most people know Biden is corrupt. The reactions are what's interesting.

How many more hearings are we going to have about modifying section 230 or antitrust because of this?

The act of voting is an indication of something alright.

You need to pass a simple test and meet other basic criteria to get a driver's license, why not also to raise a human being or choose a president?

I'm afraid it's not in the interests of national security to disclose that information.
