Hunter Biden's laptop

[TheCount]

Deep insight you have. Kim Dotcom was social media before there was social media. If you will do your own research, instead of just guzzling whatever flavor of Kool-Aid the Washington Post has on tap this week, you will understand that Kim Dotcom's motivations do not align with the Left/Right narrative in the US.

What does any of that have to do with whether or not gaining attention is a motivation for someone? Are you disagreeing or just typing a stream of consciousness?

If he has access to the data (and/or knows who does), that's significant and his statements are not merely idle attention-seeking.

It can still be attention seeking. More than one person has claimed that they have the data and will be releasing it, right? Why?

In light of those considerations, my only assertion is that it's possible the laptop data will be dumped on Wikileaks (or wherever). Unlike you, I don't have a crystal-ball to gaze into the future and determine what people really will or won't do...

A lot of things are possible. Very few actually happen.

I just wanna know where I can buy the Magic 8-Ball you're using...

Literally anywhere. Normal magic 8 balls are not emotionally invested in QAnon-tier boomer blog bullshit.

I rarely read biden threads ( really wouldnt want to see what could be on those laptops) so how about a quick summary. Is the count still with holding information ?

 

[Madison320]

The owner of the mac repair shop that originally received and copied the laptop said exactly how large the laptop's hard drive was and how much data he recovered off of it.

Let me guess, that tidbit hasn't made its way onto any of the blogs that you read. Huh, wonder why.

Do you think Hunter Biden getting a job sitting on the board of a Ukrainian gas company had nothing to do with the fact that he was Joe Biden's son?

I hadn't followed the story at all so when I started reading about it I saw that and knew right away Hunter Biden is corrupt.

Im guessing he thinks that making too much money you dont earn leads to other corruption. seems plausible .

I'm guessing two things:

One, he doesn't realize that he's two years behind the times on the Hunter Biden story, and that 2022 Hunter Biden stories are about 2022 topics, not 2020 topics. In 2022, all people you disagree with are pedophiles, no exceptions.

Two, like many he lacks all sense of nuance and believes that the only two options possible in the universe are a) believe all grifters always or b) Hunter Biden is literally an angel descended from heaven perfect boy who has done and can do no wrong.

So, first you argue pure minutiae--and let's face it, not much is more nitpicky than arguing about a gig of data--and now you're ranting about nuance?

Do you have a point? You don't think there really were pics of barely dressed prepubescent children found on that drive? You don't remember people discussing pedophiles before this calendar year? You think Hunter Biden has some redeeming feature of some kind, but you can't be bothered to say what it is?

What is your point? Do you have one, aside from the top of your head?

What he said:

You've clearly got a lot of time on your hands.

What minutia?

If more data is released than came from the laptop, then how do you know what is real and what is not? Why the fuck was there, for some reason, a 2 year delay prior to the release of the laptop's contents? And why, when it is released, is it going to be something that is clearly adulterated? Do they want to discredit their own release?

(PS: We're not talking about a gig of data.)

Do you have a point? You don't think there really were pics of barely dressed prepubescent children found on that drive?

Your theory is that maybe everyone who originally got the laptop files just... mysteriously didn't notice the child porn on it?

Wrong.

The Child Porn was the reason it was originally reported to the "Authorities".

and original reports of how much "data" (home files),, or hard drive size is irrelevant to a forensic investigation..

You can put a Terabyte of data on a 200g hard drive.

Why are you Defending and Obfuscating the CORRUPTION?

 

[Madison320]

What in the $#@! are you talking about?

You're arguing about gigs of data. Who gives a crap about that? The important point is whether Hunter Biden is peddling influence.

I'm asking you if you think Hunter Biden is peddling influence. Is that off limits on a political forum?

What he said:

As far as I'm concerned the important point about the laptop is that it may contain evidence that Hunter Biden was selling influence. The child porn stuff is just a sideshow.

The best case scenario is that the ukrainian gas company hired Hunter Biden with the hope of getting political favors from Joe Biden but they never received any favors.

The worst case scenario is that Joe Biden is involving the US in a war with a nuclear power to pay off his favors.

That's why this is important in my opinion.

He's slightly better than most of his ilk. He doesn't scream OFF LIMITS like most when his attempt to mire the conversation in minutia fails to distract people from the real point.

But that doesn't mean he'll actually discuss the real subject with you. He's not that adult about it.

That hasn't been the case for me. He's the worst I've encountered at screaming OFF LIMITS!!!

TheCount: You're a hypocrite for criticizing Obama's excess spending and forgiving Trump's excess spending.

JohnDoe: Well you're a hypocrite for forgiving Obama's excess spending and criticizing Trump's excess spending.

TheCount: When did I ever forgive Obama's excess spending? Show me my post.

JohnDoe: Do you think Obama's spending was excessive?

TheCount: OFF LIMITS!!! FOUL!!! OFF TOPIC!!!!


This is TheCount's MO. He makes snarky comments and calls other people a hypocrite, but HE WON'T REVEAL HIS OWN OPINION.

Again, this is no longer the story. Nobody is arguing about Hunter Biden selling influence in 2022. Nobody thinks that 450 gb of influence selling evidence will be released in two more weeks.

But sure, I'll answer: Sort of - the hard thing to tell is whether or not he had any influence to sell or if he was just using his last name to scam lobbyists. He was certainly advertising the sale of influence that he either pretended to have or actually had.

Almost all the stories I saw were saying info on the laptop could help uncover details about influence peddling. I think the other stuff is silly, like the child porn. I think you like the misdirection these other guys here are talking about because it takes away the focus of what really matters, and that's the influence for sale.

But sure, I'll answer: Sort of - the hard thing to tell is whether or not he had any influence to sell or if he was just using his last name to scam lobbyists. He was certainly advertising the sale of influence that he either pretended to have or actually had.

I agree, except you are downplaying what could easily be a serious and dangerous crime here. Obviously Hunter Biden was trying to sell influence, or the guys that hired him were hoping he would. And now President Biden is illegally involving the US in an incredibly dangerous war with a nuclear power. Why? Is he fulfilling a promise he made to the Ukrainian Gas company? If this was reversed and it was Trump's son you'd be flipping out.

Normally when a president does something stupid, I don't mind because I usually profit from it. All my investments depend on our government doing stupid crap and so far none of them have let me down and that includes Bush, Obama, Trump and now Biden. But this is the first time in my life that I'm actually worried that our idiot president is going to get us all killed.

So TheCount actually thinks we're trying to start WWIII over the terrible tragedy that if Zelensky is ousted, Ukrainian kindergartners will no longer have the benefit of CRT and adults trying to talk them into changing their genders.

The U.S. is trying to keep Donbas gas out of Russian hands, and you're seriously doubting whether Burisma has influence. Brilliant.
