I guess I really have no idea if you're a liberal or not. And since I don't like it when people falsely assume I'm a republican or even a conservative, I owe you the same consideration.
With that perspective, I have to wonder why you can read that article but you can't read a post that would take you 30 seconds? (which makes it hard to have an adult conversation on this subject, liberal or not)
AGAIN, NOBODY CARES ABOUT HUNTER.
Once you can grasp that very simple concept, you just might be able to figure out why the laptop is so important. It's about something you as much as said was a nothing-burger, aka freedom of speech, which is a big deal to me and a lot of people.
Freedom of speech used to be a big deal to most Americans, regardless of political ideology. It was above, and far more important than being a Democrat or a Republican. But that's changed with the modern Democrat party. They care more about power and control, and keeping Trump from running again, than they do about freedom of speech, which is sad, pathetic, and ultimately dangerous.
