Why the Right Can’t Quit Hunter Biden: Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi's flashy revival of Laptopgate hasn't illuminated much beyond the right's desperation to salvage something from their October Surprise.

The story for why this is important has changed a lot:

  1. It's important because it demonstrates Joe Biden's corruption.
  2. It doesn't? Well maybe it demonstrates Hunter Biden's corruption
  3. No? Well maybe it demonstrates that Hunter Biden is a failson
  4. Don't care? Maybe the contents of the laptop aren't important, what matters is that Joe Biden broke the first amendment by forcing Twitter to cover up the story
  5. Joe Biden wasn't actually President then? Ok maybe Biden didn't violate the first amendment, but he did "collude" with Twitter - still bad?
  6. Oh it turns out this was a Twitter internal decision and Joe Biden only asked them to take down dick pics? Maybe why this matters is because James Baker is secretly handling the evidence of the coverup of the laptop contents that don't matter - and we don't like that guy!
  7. Oh James Baker is paid by Twitter to handle sensitive documents so handling them is literally his job? Tune in tomorrow for the next reason why this matters!
