Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Who would ever take their computer to John Paul Mac Isaac's repair shop after this? The shop had no business looking at the owners data, even if it was abandoned. If it was left there the drive should have been destroyed. It is not ethical what this computer repair guy did and I am sure it was illegal. Can you image dropping off you laptop and having the repair guy release nude pictures of you to the public.

And I don't see how anything on the laptop NOW can be authenticated to be real. Sure I believe Hunter is a drug user and has sex with women-I didn't need the laptop to believe that. But since a lot of people had access to this laptop, people who'd want to hurt his family politically, they could have tampered with it.

Everyone who has released pornography of Hunter Biden are wrong and sure broke the law.

I'm guessing this did little to nothing to his business. You're vastly overestimating the amount of people who are familiar with this story, the fraction of those people aware of this person, and the fraction of those people who would also be customers of this store.

Worked, briefly, in my youth for a shitty repair shop.

The owner would personally "help" any passable looking lady just to copy the drive and look for nudes. Or he was very gleeful to find video.

This is the same guy who "offices" out if a strip club.

I was too young and dumb to do anything but quit, and that was due to him not paying me more than any moral outrage. Can't eat moral outrage, however justified.
