It may be all over your right-wing BS fantasy "news", but they, like you, like reporting things that they want to believe, rather than things they can prove.

Um... No. EVERYTHING I wrote before "Putting all that together, we have two scenarios:" is 100% verified facts (EXCEPT for the bit about you being a lawyer, which I find really questionable). The part after that is speculative, but I think I made it clear which is more plausible.

True, but then, Johnson's rather tenious claims cannot be construed as facts either.

Rather dicey evidence of that claim. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson claims an (unnamed) whistleblower told him that. Johnson, who's BEHIND in polling in his re-election race, and is under investigation for election fraud for his part in the plot to send fake electors to Washington, really needs something to distract from his troubles and charge up his base, and lately few of his statements have any connection to reality.

At least my story is plausible, unlike your crazy "he left it at the computer shop" story.

Everybody knows that saying "Everybody knows" is just a way of saying "I have no evidence, but I really REALLY want to believe this". I know it's hard to give up your fantasy, but you really should start living in reality.

(sigh)... So much nonsense.



Note carefully the wording "Americans who were surveyed". They are not claiming this survey reflects the views of Americans as a whole. They almost certainly found a group of MAGAheads, checked that each was an American, surveyed them, and then they can truthfully say "80 percent of Americans who were surveyed".



The FBI did not bury the information about the laptop, because there is nothing to bury. You claim to be a lawyer, so I assume at one point in your education you learned of "chain of custody". And presumably, you can still recognize that here, the chain is completely blown. Even if we can verify that it is actually Biden's laptop at one time, NOTHING on it can be trusted now.

Let's review the facts as we know them:
- Hunter Biden had a laptop stolen from him in Las Vegas.
- Later, a laptop turns up, abandoned, in a computer store nowhere near where Hunter lives.
- The computer store owner, after deciding the laptop is abandoned -- instead of just reformating the disk (as he is supposed to do) -- allegedly chooses to crack the password, and start illegally spying on his customer.
- This laptop is oddly just chockful of incriminating evidence against Hunter Biden. An odd mix of incriminating person stuff and incriminating business stuff. Stuff I'd think people wouldn't keep on a laptop at all (or at least on different computers)
- The NYTimes later prints that a handful of the (oddly, NON-incriminating) emails can be verified as real.
- Experts in Soviet/Russian espionage techniques state that this looks EXACTLY like one of their jobs.

Putting all that together, we have two scenarios:

- After having one laptop stolen, he buys a new one, and fills it with years-old personal videos and photos AND current business documents about illegal operations. Flies across the country to drop it off at a computer shop he's never been to before, and then forgets about it.

- or -

- Russia agents, hoping to keep their puppet Trump in power, steal Hunter's laptop, add to it a bunch of manufactured "evidence", and drop it off at a computer shop, telling the owner to pass it on to the FBI.

1 - Top Secret, Left Overs, 1 in a million, ?, banana split, fooling around

2 - Hard to say. It appears this "t-shirt" doesn't have a back, so the only actual holes are the two in the chest.

3 - 32 (Triangle =8, oval = 6, square = 10, diamond = 4)

4 - Another tricky one. It would seem the paperclip is displacing the least water -- but the water hasn't distorted the scissors which suggests that they are behind the glass and not in it, making that glass the most full.

5 - Bzzt. Sorry, it's supposed to be 87 (turned upside down), but you broke it. The font used for the numbers is clearly right-side up. Check out the "1" in "16". Also the 8s are bigger on the bottom than the top.

6 - 3rd from the left, top row.

I never said they weren't at Mar-a-Lago. Nevertheless, they protect PEOPLE, period. They will SECURE an area where a protectee is located, but they are not there to protect property. If the building caught fire, they would get their protectee (specifically) out, and then let it burn. (They will call the fire department). It's doubtful they would concern themselves getting anyone else out.

The Secret Service protects people, not property. They will secure an area when one of their protectees is there, but that's it.

After the FBI was there, the boxes weren't anymore. Before that, if the SS knew the boxes held classified documents, they were required to report that to the DOJ. If they didn't, they certainly weren't going to waste their valuable resources on some old papers.

The Secret Service does not protect boxes. Further, if they'd even known about them, they would have been required to report their presence at Mar-a-Laga to the DOJ.

From the description of how they were stored, it seems that getting access to them merely required paying the $200K membership fee.

You were told that by the rich elite. And by "the end of the country", they meant the end of their lifestyle as the rich elite.

OK, a lot of bad information here.

Originally, CDs were audio-only. They did not store "files" as we think of them now. The music is encoded onto the disk in a format that is unique to CDs.

Sometime later, people thought to use the data space available of CDs for computer storage. And the CDROM was born. Data is written onto a CDROM in a format to make it look like a computer hard disk, and that format is completely different from an audio CD.

Still later, people wanted sound on their computers, so MP3s were invented (MP3s are actually a derivative of MPEGs which are video files, but that's a whole 'nother story). MP3 are highly compressed (lossy), sacrificing audio quality for small size, since back that hard disks were expensive, and computers only had crappy cheap speakers anyway.

Apple, realizing they couldn't force you to buy your music for your iPod through the Apple Store unless they controlled the file format, invented the AIFF. The AIFF format has nothing to do with the audio disc format.

If you put an audio disk in a computer, it will probably appear as a disk with .CDA files, but that's just some sleight-of-hand by the OS. That "disk" exists only in memory with pointers to where the music is on the disk, so it could be copied to the hard disk.

If you put a CDROM into a CD Player (stereo audio component), it will not be able to read it (*). CD players have two major components: the laser disk reader (also in CDROM players), and the Digital-to Analog Convertor which takes the steam of data from the disk reader, and converters it to the analog audio signal which is sent directly to the amplifier & speakers. This has been reduced to a single chip 30+ years ago.

(*) To read a CDROM, you'd need a full CPU and OS. This could be handled with just a few chips, but adding them to a simple CD player would greatly increase the production cost, for a feature of limited use.

So, if you don't mind poor quality audio, played through cheap crappy speakers, play MP3/AIFFs on your home computer. You can read the files off of a hard disk or CDROM; it won't matter.

If you want higher quality audio, played to higher quality speakers, play an audio CD through a component CD player, attached to a full stereo. It can be a store-bought CD or one you burned yourself(**), but it must be an Audio CD.

(**) Once lost audio quality can't be regained. So, if you rip an Audio CD to MP3, and then use those MP3s to burn an audio CD, The audio quality of the burned CD won't be as good as the original CD. Rip the CD to a loss-less audio format (like FLAC, which you should consider the new standard), then anything you make from it will retain the original quality.

The inventor of Autocorrect just died. I didn't even know he was I'll.

They've always acknowledge it. They just didn't base policy on it, since it's of no use.

Riiiight.... The best way to avoid getting Covid is to have already gotten it... (That's not really a plan)
