Well lets do a quick look thru history
Were Hilary’s email a real issue?
Was Hunter Biden’s laptop a real issue?
Was Donald Trump raping a 12 or 13 year old a real issue? There’s plenty of supporting data for that one.
So we’ve seen swiftboat attacks. (There’s tons of these fake GOP attacks out there in the last 25 years).
We’ve seen other Democratic candidates taken down by this same well timed attack method. We know there’s a ton of RW extremist billionaire’s calling the shots on our major news media. Heck we know Trump used to buy and kill rape stories about himself from coming out.
Its fine, you guys can decide Platner is too terrible of a human being, but I look at who’s he’s competing against and there’s no question.
Year after year people fall for this crap and I’m not having it any more.
OOHHH Hilary’s laptop … the crimes she committed against humanity.
Meanwhile the convicted felon has grifted America for $2billion, shut down much of the scientific (& fact based) US community. The guy is destroying America (SCOTUS is in his pocket making up completely batshit crazy arguments) and when some extremely well timed attack gets MASSIVE publicity right on schedule, you guys dont even think twice? Really?
Do you not see the forest for the trees?
So no, I’m not buying it. You all are free to do as you please.
