Ya know, the insanity peddled by Tucker's suckers and Tucker himself could be regarded as hilarious but the fact that it's believed makes it tragic. Millions of people believe this nonsense and continue to be misled by it. Had they known the facts, at least some of them might have realized the truth of the matter. However, in your case, even when you've been informed of it, you still persist in refusing to believe it. That's called willful ignorance...

It is difficult to take people seriously that do not smell a rat in everything Hunter is involved with a father that has never, not one time, discussed his business. Ignorant or smart criminality?
Did you not read this in the link? "Regarding the accusation that the sale benefited Hunter Biden,...: “Hunter was no longer a member of the equity firm at the time of that sale, and there was no evidence that Sinopec received oil via the SPR for any other reason than it submitted one of the highest bids to pay for its barrels.”

What?!  In other words you don't believe in facts as you state, "People with different politics simply do not believe what the link says..."
"Simply" would be putting diplomatically; willful ignorance is on the money. 
However, In your case, "simply" would likely be accurate.  I think you've fixated on Hunter Biden and/or his laptop, and anything associated with either. I believe he could be found not guilty and innocent of wrongdoing by a jury of his peers and you simply would not believe it. You've already come to simple conclusion in your mind that Hunter Biden is guilty of, fill in the blank, and that's the end of it.

But how can anybody with an open mind follow what the president and his son have gone through and think they must be innocent? Remarkable! Insisting those two are innocent of doing wrong requires the contortions of a mind trying to believe what the president is trying to say. Staying above all simple minded. 
Er, ah, just kind of curious, have you been following the January 6th commission?

Somebody tell Raskin past 80 our hair should not be darker every year. 
Well, I guess we have to cover the fact again:
1. The Republican leadership initially backed and then reneged on and independent Jan 6th commission.
2. Two respected conservative Republicans are on the present jan 6th commission.
3. There would have been more Republicans if Kevin McCarthy hadn't pulled back from doing so and the same time he attempted to insert Republicans who were likely a part of the plot to overturn the election.
4. The Jan 6th commission doesn't prosecute anyone involved. That's up to the DOJ, which, for the upteenth time, is independent from whatever congress does and does not do.
5. Most of the participants who have been providing information to the commision, are, in fact, REPUBLICANS!!!

Er, ah, keep in mind that when people testify before the Jan 6th commission, again primarily Republicans, they do so under oath. So, it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of the facts...

Well Mel, since you brought it up, which one of the Republicans testifying under oath to the Lan 6th commission has lied in their testimony?

I think both parties lie, especially when they are in a jam.
Anybody that spends more than 10 minutes a day on this show trial is wasting time.
The country has serious problems. 
So you can't identify anyone who has lied in their testimony before the Jan 6th commission. And failing to recognize the insurrection on Jan 6th as a serious problem does, indeed, mean the country have a serious problem...

How exactly is having Republicans and participants in the hearings a show trial? Again, this isn't a trial so your own statement lacks credibility and is, in fact, nonsense...
