What about Hunter/Joe Biden? Was that not news worthy? Was anything about Joe Biden news worthy prior to the election? It's an embarrassment. I hope everyone realizes the powers that took on Trump, Big Tech, Deep State, China/Russia/EU, Democrats, etc. Quite the feat that it took that much power to barely beat Trump (which is debatable until we get a handle on what happened for voting. I don't know if the election was rigged, but I wouldn't put it past them and there are some weird anomalies in the voting data).

I, for one, was very interested in seeing the end of the Tucker Carlson story, and was disappointed when he dropped his chance to reveal his supposedly damaging information about the Bidens. Why do you think the story was dropped? Personally, I think it's likely that said information was not actually ever damning, but I guess the Deep State could have gotten to Tucker, if that's your conspiracy theory.

  The worst part about the Hunter/Joe Biden saga is that what they were doing isn't illegal (from what I can tell.). I'd call it corrupt and crony capitalism, among things, but doesn't look like it's illegal. And this get to one of things I really hate about US politics. They write the rules, but don't seem to have to abide by any of them. There is always a loop hole or connection to save them. Pathetic. Regarding Tucker, his show is the only show I watch every night. I think he does a great job at bringing light to the under belly of Washington. 'The sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink.' Now, do I think he's perfect, no. Nobody is.

    So why didn't he provide any of the damning evidence that he shipped to his office? I'll give you a hint: It's far easier to get sued for defamation if you read lies on TV than if you say you have bad stuff to say about someone but won't say it because you're nice.

      Well, as far as I know, we don't know why he didn't share it. Maybe it's because it wasn't that damning after all. Or maybe because he realized the fix was in for Biden and any amount of hooting and hollering wasn't going to make a difference. Or maybe he realized the information wasn't credible, but from what I remember, it was. Again, who knows. Would it have made a difference if other news channels had picked up the story? Probably. Did it make a difference? Doesn't look like it. Look, I voted for Obama 2008, voted Libertarian in 2012, and Trump 2016/2020 (for his America first policies, not his personality, which why this election was so mind blowing). My background is in Finance, specifically Hedge Funds, and I'm relatively a newcomer to watching how Politics all works. The idea that you have to stir your constituents into a craze for 4 years and feed them lies, so you don't lose power is really sad. Both sides are guilty of it.

        We do know, though. Or at least we know what he claimed. https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-suddenly-says-its-time-to-leave-hunter-biden-alone https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-suddenly-says-i...
