More bullsh*t from you obviously.
You have it down to a science.
I donât want to tell you how to do your job, but it seems to me from reading messages on this board that you Russian and Chinese trolls are not doing a very good job. This particular lie is not going to convince anyone not to vote for Biden. Democrats know itâs a lie. As for Trump supporters, theyâve overlooked horrible behavior from Trump and donât seem affected by it. Democrats are largely persuaded by facts and reason. See if you can show us how Trump would be better for the economy, for example, or try to explain to us why he doesnât mean it when he says heâs not going to be a dictator.

Come on, Mitch Connor, are you just not paying attention or do you get off on posting lies? You do seem to like putting faked Photoshopped memes on Quora, so Iâm guessing maybe itâs the latter.
Ashley Biden denied writing anything of the sort. Her diary was stolen and something purporting to be her diary ended up in the hands of a group noted for spreading disinformation and debunked conspiracy theories with close links to the Trump administration and mysterious conservative sources of funding.
The diary has yet to be authenticated (no, the FBI didnât validate itâthatâs another lie), much less all its entries after it was swiped.
The story was published in the extreme right-wing blog National File in October 2020 without any verification, conveniently just one month ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
And when the National File finally released a purported PDF of the document, the supposed damming dairy entry was nowhere to be found in its 112 pages, which was why no legitimate news source went with the story.
Heyâbut that didnât stop you from spreading a sleazy rumor about Biden, did it, Mitch? Of course not.
A recent study out of the University of Washington found that conservativesâread the MAGA kidsâwere responsible for spreading the bulk of misinformation about the 2020 election (along with Trumpâs pals in the Kremlin).
Youâre certainly doing your part, Mitch.
We previously published a detailed story about rumors of the existence of a diary that allegedly belonged to Ashley Biden. Passages from the purported diary were released by the right-wing blog National File in October 2020, just one month ahead of the U.S. presidential election. The diary's authenticity has never been confirmed.
That said, for good measure we skimmed through all 112 pages of the PDF file that is alleged to be a reproduction of that diary and found nothing resembling this quote.
Some Facebook commenters appeared to believe the passage was real, despite the fact that the post included no links or source material of any kind. One person commented, "Our President. Wake up America." Other users remarked that they found the quote to be "sick." We even noticed one person claiming that the diary was "clearly staged by the Biden administration."
âââŚAshley Bidenâs alleged diary which was stolen from a room she stayed in and sold to a politically-motivated ânewsâ organization, and then leaked by a disgruntled employee with an even-less-scrupulous reputation after said organization refused to publish it when they couldnât determine that it was authentic? The diary that Trumpâs campaign wouldnât touch, either?
The above should be setting off sirens in your head that anything published in this âdiaryâ would be considered suspect, but then youâre apparently not concerned at all with allegations of this manner unless it hurts a Democratic politicianâŚâŚâŚâŚThere is this pesky little thing called âchain of custodyâ, the same thing that dogs the whole âHunter Biden laptopâ case. Even if the item is legitimate, and no one has been able to verify that this diary is, once a personal item leaves the hands of its owner without their permission, the chain of custody is considered to be broken. In the hands of politically-motivated individuals, contents can be altered, taken out of context and/or skewed towards whatever purpose they wish. As such, even if the diary was formerly authentic, it no longer is.ââ
The facts is that a couple of crooks pled guilty to stealing Ashley Bidenâs diary and other pieces of her property that they sold to Project Veritas, which happily received the stolen property and asked for more, but never published the diary because they couldnât authenticate it. Whatever anyone claimed was written in it is entirely unverified and possibly made up. Itâs also worth noting that the diary is from a period in Ashleyâs life when she was receiving treatment for substance problems and was remembering uncertain memories, so even if the purported contents are accurate itâs impossible to know how true they are. Certainly Ashley (who has a close relationship with her parents) has denied that her father did anything to her.
Personally, I canât think of much lower or more invasive than stealing the diary of a politicianâs child full of deeply personal thoughts written in a painful time. Maybe trying to use the unverified contents as a political tool: thatâs pretty scummy.
