Misinformation like that the Biden laptop is a Russian conspiracy?

Well, it's possible he may be inclined to reduce the amount of misinformation that harms his and his friends' political ambitions.

(To be fair, though, it's not clear how Hunter Biden has anything to do with anything, and why anyone is still talking about him, because last I checked, unlike another royal family, Joe did not fill the cabinet with his relatives...)

Because there are allegations that he was peddling access to his father while his father was VP which may be backed up by emails on said laptop. Now that it's confirmed as genuine, an investigation needs to be done. We would demand nothing less if this were the previous president.

> We would demand nothing less if this were the previous president.

Actually, 'we' have been demanding a lot less from the previous one.

But either way, the conspiracy theory of the day that ElMu retweeted has nothing to do with any laptops.

You sure about that? From what I remember the smoking gun email that said "10% for the big guy" is from 2017. Notably not when Joe Biden was in office.
