Hunter Biden laptop

Still not understanding.  There is a risk that a biological agent could be delivered via a balloon.  That is simply a fact.  Of course, that is just one of many potential risks.  It is a violation of international law for exactly that reason.  Even Old Joe shot it down because it posed a security risk (albeit after it had transversed the entire country).  No reasonable person would take issue with the balloon posing security risks whether for surveillance or other purpose.  I'm not sure why you are so hung up on the balloon.  It didn't fly over "Europe" or they would have surrendered and the Chinese government would have restricted your access to the Internet.  Maybe not a bad thing.

There is a risk that a biological agent could be delivered via a balloon.  That is simply a fact.

Just like it is a risk that they would deliver such a biological agent using a flock of seagulls.

It is a violation of international law for exactly that reason.

Sure..

No reasonable person would take issue with the balloon posing security risks whether for surveillance or other purpose.

And nobody is taking issue with it being a security risk. However, only an unreasonable paranoid person would instantly leap from a spy-balloon (which they said is was and it turned to be) to fearmongering about the balloon being a means to deliver a biological or nuclear weapon.

It didn't fly over "Europe" or they would have surrendered and the Chinese government would have restricted your access to the Internet. 

Hilarious!   

It would be nice for once if you actually knew what you are talking about!

In which you compare a sophisticated balloon with guidance and surveillance capacity to a bird.  And we are not just talking about this balloon but future balloons.  They could contain anything.  Maybe even a brain.  Hopefully that one lands in your backyard.

a sophisticated balloon with guidance and surveillance capacity

Did you examine the balloon?

And we are not just talking about this balloon but future balloons.

You mean like the smaller one they just shot down?

They could contain anything.

Of course they could, but you instantly suggested it would be a biological or nuclear weapon. In doing so you exposed your paranoia and fearmongering.... That was my point. Thanks for proving it!

"Seagull" Martin calling from "Europe."  HA HA HA.  Comedy gold.

If Hunter were a Republican, he would have been convicted and imprisoned years ago.

If Hunter were a Republican, he would have been convicted and imprisoned years ago.

Maybe in your alternate reality, where all Republicans are a "victim" regardless of how dishonest they really are.

It must be an amazing alternate reality, considering your delusional claim that Jimmy Carter is dead and some Republicans have already paid tribute to him.

Hunter has now stupidly sued the owner of the computer store for "invasion of privacy" thus removing any doubt that the computer and its contents are his.  So much for that conspiracy theory and lie told by Ukraine Joe, the media, and the "intelligence" experts that it was created by Russian agents.   This despite Hunter signing an agreement with computer store owner that if he didn't pick up the computer within a specific timeframe that the computer and its contents would transfer to the store owner.  And on the same week we learn that the Biden family including the industrious Hunter received a $3 million payment from China!  Good timing Hunter.

Grumpy, you really haven't got a clue what you are talking about.

Hunter Biden didn't decide to sue John Paul Mac Isaac out of the blue. He brought a countersuit in a civil case that Mac Isaac started against him and others for alleged defamation, which, to say the least, is pretty stupid on Mac Isaac's part as Hunter Biden has never said anything in public about the matter. The contents of the lap top was always going to be discussed in that case, so there was no point for Biden to hold back.

Hunter rightfully claims that Mac Isaac had no right to duplicate files on the laptop and provide them to third parties like a lawyer working for Rudy Giuliani. Even if there was an agreement that would pass ownership of the lap top to the store owner if it wasn't picked up within a specific timeframe that still does not give the right to Mac Isaac to violate another person's privacy by making copies and distributing them to others. What he should have done is simply delete the contents. Also, the mere fact that Mac Isaac has also passed on parts of the alleged contents to others, like Steve Bannon, clearly means that he had full access to the entire contents and could have manipulated it in any way he wanted to, making the alleged contents unreliable.

The countersuit was the best move Hunter Biden could have made, but I don't expect Grumpy to understand that!
