Right up until the laptop showed up he was right. Then we got the multiple different stories... "That's not mine." "Well, it's not mine but I'm going to sue you for having my laptop." "Okay it is mine, but you've faked stuff"... "Okay you didn't fake stuff, but that's mine and you can't have it!" "Okay, I left it there and it became the property of someone else and that's my bad, but the IRS can't give you data!" "The IRS has whistleblowers?! I'm going to sue again!" "What? They have bank records to match up with the text messages of me paying dad's bills and thus him benefitting from my crooked schemes?! Well, when dad spoke with my business "friends" at breakfast it was only about the weather! We thought giving access to the man would create an 'illusion' of access because nothing is as illusory as actually speaking with someone and having access." "Yeah, the timing of the firing of the prosecutor looks strange since it happened right after my business partners called begging for help... but, but... it's not 'evidence' if you look at it cross eyed and from another dimension where evidence doesn't exist!"
It's all just Russian disinformation! Yeah! That's it! We say that and it will all go away!
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Not really, as no one I know is concerned all that much about Hunter having to face the Justice Department for the things he did wrong.
Biden fans and supporters are not concerned about Hunter's fate, as they just want to see Hunter treated fairly as he has to fight his own demons now.
As most Biden supporters are still upset with the way Hunter used his dad's name and risked the integrity of Biden's good name, and stirred up the MEATSLAPPERS that wank off to this kind of blown-out-of-proportion scandal!
So don't overthink things too much! Because you really do not know how "normal" people personally feel about Hunter Biden!![]()

Bless your innocent hippie heart, Owl.
I, in contrast,
think that we should defend our Democratic criminals
with the same kind of admirable loyalty
that the Republican motherfuckers have for their miscreants.
This is what our forefathers clearly intended
and I'm frankly embarrassed that we humans on the left
are not as good at it
as the troglodytes on the right are.
You grew up with NO Sicilian relatives, Owl,
to teach you that this is an "us and them" world.
We have to do with intelligence
what the mutants do by animal instinct
if we're ever going to send them to hell
where they belong.
Did you translate Caesar from the Latin when you were in school?
We certainly did.

When or if you ever get to be a Normal PERSON, then you may be able to determine what is Bizarre or not!
But, I seriously doubt you ever will while wanting Trump to be your leader!
Because most "Normal" people think that you are Bizarre for ever voting for that Scoundrel to begin with- OLD CONFUSED WOMAN!

In fairness, TOP, explanations are futile
among people who are unequipped to understand one another.
Neither one of us has any realistic reason to expect to understand how the other side thinks.
In my most vivid imagination, for just one example,
I cannot begin to understand how anybody of my own species
can look upon Donald Trump
and see anything other than as repugnant a creature
as is possible to be manifested
from the physical elements available on our planet.
Please do not dismiss this as hyperbole.
I could not ever be more serious.
I accept the sincerity of your views as well.
I don't need to understand them.
By the same token, myself, my wife, my children, my parents before me--
none of us viewed ourselves as "baby killers"--
-
but all of us had to accept
that certain different strains of humanity
seriously and sincerely viewed us as such.
We simply accepted it as the reality
in a universe of ideologically incompatible people.
Explanations are probably asking too much.
Just my view, of course.
