Hunter Biden Interview on Jimmy Kimmel

[eerok]

The smears on Hunter Biden show that the right has nothing on Joe, so there's that.

I can't figure out what the consensus here is - is it that the allegations against junior (acting as an agent for his dad's influence-peddling, crack addiction, whoring and pissing money away like it's 1999 etc') are exaggerated? Entirely fabricated? True but of no consequence/relevence, just the "frailties" and peccadiloes of a well-intentioned guy?

It's too hard to tell what is actually going on if anything. Your side of the issue has an incredible "cried wolf" problem. So many freaking lies from you side that if you guys ever actually do come across something real no one is going to believe you.

I can't even begin to imagine the kind of denial/cognitive dissonance required to hand-wave away the concern that the former VPOTUS and current POTUS might very well be seriously 'compromised'.

Yeah, this post crosses into sea-lioning territory for me. Short, no effort to address the issues presented in response to previous message, and an implicit assumption that we are the ones who have to engage.

Only way to win a game against a sea-lion is not to play.

***IGNORE***

It's easy. It's probably just another filthy lie from the filthy liars.

It’s painfully obvious you are not listening to the answers you are being given and are making up your own ****.

If you feel that way about Biden, I can only imagine how upset you must feel about how compromised Trump was during his term.

OMG there are vague mutterings of impropriety based on unavailable evidence of extremely sketchy provenance! /s

Your time might be better spent examining real issues.

What do you mean handwaved? Is it or is it not being investigated by the FBI? So far, there seems to be no credibility to the accusations that the Biden administration is compromised in such a way.

I'm smelling the not so savory aroma of intellectual dishonesty here. Think I'll close the window.

This laptop story has been going on for years and yet what is supposed to make it interesting?

If you said, say, “Joe Biden has been engaged in illegal behaviour X and the laptop has information that demonstrates it” that would be one thing. If, for example illegal behaviour X was a specific crime.

But the way the story is being spun makes it sound like Hunter Biden owning a laptop itself is a serious crime and that it somehow means something very bad.

The story cannot be the laptop. So what is the story?

Since Trump has established that a POTUS is above the law, that wouldn't even matter. The right doesn't understand consequences at all. So the laptop thing is a nothingburger with no bun.

Best answer.

According to my reading there are two major issues that could be at play.

Did HB pay his taxes properly. Remember Trump said "That makes me smart."

The other issue is did HB act as a foreign agent without registering as one. Paul Manafort was convicted of that crime and Trump pardoned him.

-There is a Laptop which is in the possession of the FBI which probably belonged to Hunter Biden.

There is no laptop. There is a hard drive that purports to be a clone of a laptop with a very tainted chain of custody, including files modified after said laptop was meant to have been dropped by it's owner.

 

[shuttlt]

There is no laptop.

Is this the laptop with serial number FVFXC2MMHV29 that the DoJ signed a receipt for with the repair shop, the laptop that Hunter says was stolen by a Russian drug dealer while he was high in a honey trap with a Russian hooker that there is a video of him telling another prostitute about, the one he left with some psychiatrist who got raided by the DEA, or another laptop?

It's the laptop that has not provided any evidence of Joe Biden doing anything illegal that the right-wingers are so desperately hoping for, largely to deflect from the Trump tax investigations and the Jan. 6th investigation.

But the link that was provided to some article "debunking" the laptop said that they had been able to validate lots of the data, it's synced from cloud email providers so showing it was altered would be easy. You've got recipients of the data validating it as well. You've got all the chat on there about Hunter complaining about having to share half his salary with his father, you've got the cuts of business deals for "the big guy". You've got hunter paying Joe's bills. You've got the secret service covering up the whole gun thing.

None of this matters even if it's true. You've got half of Congress (hyperbolically speaking) with their kids working for Ukrainian oil companies. I'm not sure anything Joe is accused of here is so wildly outside normal business for Washington. So he's been taking backhanders funnelled through his family his whole career.....? Insider trading is legal for these guys. If getting a cut out of the legislation you pass isn't wrong, I'm not sure getting a cut out of foreign aid, or international deals would be much of a leap. This isn't a partisan thing... Republican's do this too.
