Hunter's LAPTOP is back in the news

Wasn't that issue put to bed way back? And never really was an issue to begin with? Hunter did some business in Ukraine, made some money and Trump wanted to call it some kind of scandal?

I saw the resurrection in a Tweet from Jordan, retweeting a New York Post article.

It's already so dried up, there is no means for it to stick. It's the Biden version of "Benghazzzziiiiii." Hal Sparks did an excellent "show" a couple of nights ago with a very detailed explanation as to why the whole thing is BS. It can easily be found on his YouTube page.

WIPE IT CLEAN and post a bunch of 2005-ish liberal political stuff on it. Register the thing in the name of "Hunter Biden" and leave at some Washington DC Salvation Army drop-off center. Include files about how evil the Repukes like Rudy G. ,Dubya, Bill Barr, etc. are.

I'm telling you, it would shut these a-holes down finally and for good.

Would have sold a lot of them to unsuspecting magats looking for "evidence", but it's against my principles to load up laptops with viruses, and other things ...

I'm just sayin'...

Let the Repukes think they found THE laptop so this nonsense will finally stop. It wouldn't take that much to convince them, if someone knows how to pack an old laptop with real-looking files.

"Jill Biden" was trending all afternoon on Twitter. They're back at it, whining about whether or not she should be allowed to call herself "doctor."

As for Hunter's laptop, if it actually exists, and is so damaging, why wasn't it ever turned over to Bill Barr? He would have happily screwed Joe over with that information the way his predecessor fucked over Hillary with mere speculation.

and a slew of other RW sleezebags. What legitimate discussion there has been is around whether the MSM were right and responsible to ignore a very questionable story involving Biden's druggie son to swiftboat Biden in the last two weeks before the election, and there's no real doubt by most of the world's press -- yes.

As for the swiftboating, that rages on the disordered right but has failed elsewhere, with people who've learned to expect this kind of thing. Also, Biden's a classic white male presidential candidate, known over five decades for a generally sterling reputation. Hunter's behaviors, real and not real, are not his.

Once it was out of Hunter's hands, (if it even was his) the chain of evidence is broken. Anyone could have added anything to that computer before it came into the authority's hands. The last I heard the shop it was in is no longer there and its owner seems to have vanished. They've got nothing and they know it.

1. Hunter Biden is a grown man, which means Joe Biden is not responsible for anything he does.

2. Hunter Biden is not and never has been a government official.

3. William Barr was attorney general through most of the time that this was an issue, and there were never any indictments.

Hunter Biden would have known there was data on the computer best left private. And I'm sure he knew someone who could fix his laptop and respect his privacy. Why would he drop it off at some "Charlie's Laptop Repair" joint? And how could he forget to go back and pick it up?

in his book he freely admitted he wouldn't even know if it was his laptop, but that regardless, it's a non-issue as we already know
