"Hunter’s pursuers say he has only himself to blame for his loss of privacy — that it was the same carelessness and disregard for the rules of conduct..."

"... that regular people follow that caused him to lose control of his digital life. Maybe it was the drugs. Maybe he was addicted to danger itself, forever in an autoerotic dance with disaster. So many of the people who have peered into the laptop seem to think that it allows them to know Hunter Biden’s mind and motivations. But maybe that level of understanding is not possible, even for the man himself. He has been doing the same thing, looking at that face in the photographs, trying to turn it into art. He still doesn’t know where that Hunter was."

About that art: "He spends his days making art in his garage.... He paints still lifes of flowers; portraits of Catholic martyrs; paintings of birds done in alcohol ink, which creates a ghostly effect. In one series, according to someone who has seen them, Biden has made a number of self-portraits, based on the photos in the tabloids, the ones that show him in the depths of his despair. The paintings are abstract, made up of colorful pixels, but you can still see the artist in there. He is planning to turn one image — a selfie that he took with a cigarette dangling from his mouth during a trip to Las Vegas, which now appears on the cover of Laptop From Hell — into a work in stained glass."

Here's that selfie he — the man who paints portraits of Catholic martyrs — is interpreting in stained glass:

Wait, what? How was it a data breach? He was a dopehead who lost his laptop in a drug induced craze. He wasn't hacked!

political scandal Democrats can’t just wish away

"Invasive data breach" makes it sound like he was the victim of something more than his own carelessness, stupidity, corruption and self-destructive tendencies.

I suppose all human beings are mysteries, but to leave it at that isn't necessarily a sign of deep understanding. It can be just shallowness. To refuse to speculate about answers or reasons, may simply mean letting Hunter (and his dad) off the hook, in a way that the Trump family wouldn't be.

Hunter Biden may be a tormented soul, but torment or self-torment is a complicated thing that can have many reasons or causes or explanations. What Hunter is really tormented by may not be what the author wants us to believe is eating away at him. Is it really his conscience that troubles our young prince?

Drago म्हणाले...

Hunter Biden clearly has deep, deep thoughts and deep, deep "undercurrents" as he snorts coke, smokes crack, takes meth and beds underage trafficked prostitutes (often funded by our ChiCom and russki geo-political opponents)...all while he films it all! Why not, the russkis, Ukrainians, Iranians and ChiCom's were all filming it as well no doubt.

Such depth and being "perfectly normal" (as Inga, victoria and gadfly repeatedly told us) is surely something we could all learn from.

After all, Biden's Earpiece told us directly that Hunter Biden is literally "the smartest man he has ever known" and he should know!

Hunter Biden is a fascinating character in his own right. IF he weren't a rich man's son, he would probably have been dead in a trailer park or the bathroom of a dive bar decades ago. But as the president's son, he doesn't exist as his own person, he only matters to the extent that he embarrasses and compromises his father. I know, of course, that old Joe made most of his fortune through his family's dirty dealings, but he doesn't need Hunter for that.

The drama of Hunter Biden, the opportunism and the self-sabotaging, the creativity and the sordidness, is Shakespearean.

Hunter's Hooker Above (the poster not the fatal hooker) has the correct perspective on both the laptop and Hillary's email server. The laptop is not about drugs and whores. It's about money changing hands for favors from the VP. Hillary's email server was not about sloppiness and national security. It was a way to hide conversations about quid pro quo payments in return for favors from the Sec'y' of State.

To talk about anything other than the payments/payoffs is a distraction from the real problem- illegal financial transactions. The general public knows nothing about the "Big Guy's" 10% nor Bill's "speeches" while Hillary was Sec'y. The general public thinks the issue is a drug addled son and Hillary's sloppy record keeping- both of which are forgivable.

I listened to an audiobook of Ms. Devines "Laptop From Hell". You listen to half an hour of sleazeball Hunter Biden's escapades and you feel like you need to take a shower to get the dirt off. The corruptocrat "Big Guy" would not have been elected President without the aid of the press--and maybe more than just a handful of phantom fraudulent voters.

But if you need more, the President of the United States' daughter has written in her diary that she has sexual hangups she's still suffering from because he forced her to shower with him long past when it would be considered appropriate.

That's the trailer park dumpster fire that is the United States of America.

Leland म्हणाले...

Hunter gave his data away. He walked into a shop, handed over his laptop for repair, it was repaired, he was told to come in and pay for the repair, he flatly refused, and only after a period of time did the laptop repairshop take ownership of the laptop and it’s data as compensation for payment. Even then, the repairshop owner didn’t sell the data to tabloids for compensation and instead took it to law enforcement. When the FBI called it disingenuous, the repairshop owner then took it to the press.

Hunter’s data would still be private had he: backed up his data and then only gave the laptop repairshop a broken laptop with a clean hard drive (what I recommend people do), paid for the repair, or the FBI handled the case properly. If the laptop was so unimportant that he didn’t need to pay for the repair; he should have destroyed it. With his income, a new laptop is cheap.

The rest is bullshit to protect President Biden from the immorality and potentially illegal activities of his son.

The only reason why crack-addict Hunter Biden was hired onto the Board of Directors of Ukraine's major natural-gas company -- salary $85,000 a month -- was that his father, Vice President Joe Biden, was the Obama Administration's "point man on Ukraine".

When Ukraine's top prosecutor tried to investigate that Biden-family corruption, Biden compelled Ukraine's President to fire that prosecutor.

Later, after Trump became the US President, he told Ukraine's new Presdient Zelensky that Ukraine now was permitted by the US Government to resume that investigation of the Biden-family corruption.

The Democrat Party reacted by impeaching President Trump.

It is really quite remarkable to watch the liars attempt to defend Hunter Biden, and by extension, his utterly corrupt father. Does anyone imagine that Hunter has some sort of useful skill that causes people to pay him millions of dollars? Of course not. He's a fucking bozo crackhead who knocked up a stripper and tried to deny it, 'til his DNA gave him away. Would you hire him to do your estate planning? No one even bothers to suggest that Hunter Biden is selling anything other than his last name. So apparently what we are supposed to believe is that the people who spend all that money buying "Biden" are getting bamboozled. They think they are getting Joe, but all they are getting is Jim and Hunter. Hah-ha! Silly billionaires!

Well, but there's always the deep state to do their dirty work for them, as they wish, including by evasive maneuvers against Trump. Hey, let's search Barrons room!

The real political scandal is not the depravity of the Biden family but the obvious and accepted corruption, all the money funneled by adversaries to a drug addict whose father happened to have influence. The Bidens were bought. That's the scandal suppressed so well that Dems don't even have to wish it away.

Aggie म्हणाले...

Jeez, how kind, Hunter Biden as a sympathetic character. Nice try, but: Hunter Biden has spent his adult life debauching himself. He's an entitled scumbag, top-to-bottom. He preys on young females, some of them apparently underaged (according to his laptop evidence), and he's a reckless international bag man for the family fortunes, which incidentally are commonly called corrupt 'Pay to Play' schemes when they involve Republicans. He's been kept on a charmed path paved with family-associated protection all of his life, and he's discarded more privilege than most people ever have. He bedded his brother's widow in an unseemly and cynical way, early into what respectable people call a period of mourning.

so, please don't try to sell me on Christian sympathy for his tormented soul; that's between him and God, eventually. And don't try to sell me on his artistic temperament, either - that's just another seamy 'Pay-to-play' scheme. He's a scumbag - through and through.

To add to what Jamie said, it appears to me to be a lot darker than that.

I keep going back to the messages Hunter was reported to have sent to his sister-in-law or maybe a group chat among family, complaining that he was required to do the dirty work of making the sleazy deals that keep the Bidens in the style they've become accustomed.

His dad knew that he, and Beau when he was alive, needed the appearance of clean hands to keep the money flowing. So Hunter was pushed into the role of the bagman and the deal maker. Like Yancey, I wouldn't be surprised if there was something subconscious about leaving the laptop behind, beyond just a junkie's addled brain.

Joe Biden is a deeply corrupted man.

" There is nothing proving that [Joe] Biden profited."

Is there "probable cause" to look for more evidence?

We have Hunter's claims. We certainly have the difference in Joe's "net worth" from a few decades ago until today. We have examples of other shenanigans by other, similarly situated, politicians for whom proof has been presented and convictions obtained.

"Proof" is usually a goal for the outcome of a fairly long and involved process. Isn't it time to start that process rolling for the President?

Leland म्हणाले...

I agree with Kate on the profession of guilt. Don't think of it is admitting to an officer of the court or saying it directly to anyone. However, if he is painting the image and claiming that is indeed him in the picture; then at some level it is a confession. In Kate's context, it is a confession to some nebulous higher being, such as the Catholic or Christian God. As a Christian, I think if I were to recreate the scene of a personal sin, either in words, picture, or other art medium; then it would at least be a self-confession for which my God would be aware.

I'm not yet on board that the "lost" items are cries for help, but I could get there. If Joe got them involved in something they really wish they never got into; then it is self-preservation to not self-incriminate. However, if they could incriminate "the big guy" while protecting themselves (and their ill-gotten gains because they had to put up with the guilt of obtaining them), then I could see a cry for help. But, I suspect a simpler explanation. Hunter didn't realize what data he had on the laptop or believed it could be recovered. There is a real possibility the diary was stolen, but not by some directive of opposition media. It could simply be stolen by other rehab patients that knew who she was and figured the diary could be a pay day. Not that such action warrants FBI involvement or excuses their involvement as personal protectors of Biden depravations.

I think of Hunter - and probably the daughter, whose name I can't recall, sorry, not going to look her up right now - as victims of a venal political animal of long standing. Hunter, at least, is a lost creature. I'm willing to believe that he's trying to work out some kind of redemption, but -

Someone I care about suffered great abuse, particularly mentally but not limited to that, at his father's hands as a child. It's always affected him, but thankfully he had a mother who, while she didn't leave his father or protect him adequately, at least tried to counteract the father's abuse by telling her son that it was the father's problems and issues that led to the abuse, not any shortcoming of the son. He's grown up to be a much-loved husband and father, respected in his career, with many strong friendships.

It still colors his life. But he made a decision not to believe what his father told him about himself, and he built a good life.

It's terribly sad that Hunter was not able to do that. Redemption is possible for him as it is for all of us, but in this life? He has to do more, himself.

Kate: Catholic confession of sins are private conversations between a priest who is sworn to silence and a believer who swears to sin no more. They aren't solipsistic doodles sold off the walls of a pricey gallery to Daddy's political friends for non-credible amounts of money in merely their latest daddy/son shakedown.

But the real issue here is probable cause of vast political and financial crime implicating the President, and the cover-up by the DNC and Executive Branch, as J. Melcher observes. Not pseudo-psychoanalysis of irrelevant remorse. This is merely the latest distraction created by a corrupt media that should be investigating, not exculpating.

Biden probably took up painting because huffing solvents is the closest he can get to getting high while being babysat by the Secret Service. Junkies are nothing if not resourceful.
