You aren't afraid of people that deny that gender is a real thing? People who want to erase our history? Men using women's bathrooms? Boys slamming girls around in grade school wrestling matches? Kids being allowed to mutilate themselves or take hormone replacement drugs before their brains are functional? The media withholding facts or jumping to conclusions about police issues before the whole story comes out and as a result causing riots? Defunding police?

You seem so very concerned about shit so rare, you've never even personally witnessed ANY of it.

You've just been told to be scared of it.

And BTW, thanks for showing how easily your bigotry can be used to control you. So much so you'd usher in a fascist regime to save you from the boogeymen you've been told to fear.

True points, and we had written in some other posts that just being able to read the drive is just the beginning.
I personally hope that some true IT and data recovery experts start chiming with Biden's campaign explaining why this "miracle" data recovery is a sham.
Most of that was based on the idea that they wouldn't have the iCloud password. That's one of the first things any MacBook repair shop is going to ask for, especially when the customer is asking for data recovery. They'll have a form. Heck, even pawn shops do this if they don't out-right force people to take their machine out of iCloud while it's in pawn.

Just saying that these concerns were raised by techies who were looking at it from the complete wrong perspective. The "data recovery" thing is easily the most believable part. Supposedly, the issue was water damage which is very typical: troubleshoot to identify and replace the failed board-level components until you get it booting, then use the provided credentials to copy data to another drive. There's no mystery here, since that's exactly what they claim to have done for the water damage and exactly what the industry does for "data recovery" on a water-damaged MacBook.

Hey OFT, why do you think Giuliani has resisted all requests from independent experts to verify the validity of the data on those drives?

No one is doing this. The consensus in science is gender is not binary. Stop denying science.
Fail

People who want to erase our history?

No one is doing this. Germany tore down all monuments to Hitler and the Nazis yet the history still exists. Monuments are not history.
Fail

Men using women's bathrooms?

No one wants this.

Boys slamming girls around in grade school wrestling matches?

Another fabricated talking point that happens so rare, it's almost never.

Kids being allowed to mutilate themselves or take hormone replacement drugs before their brains are functional?

The consensus of science says gender is not binary, and that gender identification happens very early. Stop denying science.

The media withholding facts or jumping to conclusions about police issues before the whole story comes out and as a result causing riots?

You're projecting, and deflecting. A round about attempt to deny systemic racism.

Defunding police?

No one wants to entirely defund police. I think you know this so regurgitating this talking point is disingenuous.

See? A bunch of outrage porn and boogeyman politics to use your bigotry and ignorance to control you.

Dance puppet, dance.

Which lends no credibility whatsoever to Rudy's claim of how he came by it. None at all. The same guy who told us truth isn't truth. The guy Trump told Zelinskey to call when he was ready to slime the Bidens. The same guy who's been sleazing around Ukraine with known Russian operatives. That guy. I'm supposed to believe that guy....

Oilfield and others like him are at this point what I call "civically useless" in a functioning first world western democracy.

They are not able to contribute in any manner towards the survival, let alone progression, of said democracy. In fact they can only help it to fail.

What they can contribute is only in an economic sense.

Yeah but they still vote and the OP seems very determined to vote for the people against what he claims to support because he might be gay married to a trans person of color who likes long protest walks by fire light with little kids while getting money from Ukraine. He heard it from Alex Jones so there must be a butt nugget of truth in there somewhere and he just can’t risk it because the media won’t tell him the same things Alex Jones does except for Fox News so they must be legit.

So far all I know about OFT is trash is trash.

I don’t think it’s crazy it’s the final outcome of decades of listening to right wing talk radio. He has been programmed at this point him and millions like him. While the people who programmed him laugh their asses off at his stupidity because they make millions off of his gullibility. Which is their only real objective. Build an audience that makes them rich.

Right, but let's stop kidding ourselves about the data recovery part. Again, the info itself is extremely suspect but the part about MacBook repair places offering data recovery and keeping abandoned devices while having full access to the data is absolutely common.

If I had acquired Hunter's legitimate emails through hacking and I had the power of a nation-state behind me, motivated to sow chaos in US elections, what would I do if I found nothing of consequence for Joe Biden? I very-well might put it on some MacBooks along with some forged emails crafted to implicate Joe and let it leak by using Hunter's name, email, phone number, etc to leave it at a MacBook repair shop for data recovery. I might call Hunter or his assistant several times to say almost exactly what the shop would say but with different details so that Hunter would ignore the similar calls from the actual shop, almost guaranteeing that it will be "abandoned."

Seems like a good way for the Russians or whoever to get faked and hacked emails out there without Wikileaks or publicizing a hack.

Democrats got problems for sure, but their basic economic policy isn't FYGM. It isn't to ignore our economic conditions until cannibalism forces us to come for them. Because god damn have I had enough of Republican's make believe and screwing us over. Of telling us bootstraps are real and we just have to invent our own Microsoft Windows or Apple Computer if we want to get ahead in life. As if our Middle Class hasn't been shrinking, eaten away, and utterly destroyed following Saint Reagan's great revolution of destroying our workers.

We hold up our spoons and you tell us to eat cake. Thus history repeats itself.

When the dust settles I will favor those who are more sane on various other issues... but that would be generations from now. Until then we have work to do - and the Democrats are the only ones who would even comprehend and or not be openly hostile to the concept of protecting our consumers. At securing our future. In this the Republicans leave us no choice. They must be cast down and thrown from power - for the first time in my generation's life time. It is not enough to win an election and watch nothing be done. Real change must occur - and they must be so thoroughly defeated that they will never dare utter the words trickle down ever again.

This is for a revolution to erase Republican economic policy from our lives.

The left picked the absolute two worst candidates of the whole bunch. Biden has more skeletons in his closet than Hannibal Lector.
Kamala got destroyed by Pence at the debates. And on top of that she withheld evidence to keep someone on fucking death row. These people are trash.

The Hammer Store has met its nemesis!

Or they just gave it to Rudy & let him arrange the rest of the deception, leaving him as the single point of contact. The computer repair guy need not have ever been in possession at all. Occam's razor applies.

We all know that Donald Trump is financially beholden to Russia which explains a lot, but has anyone considered Rudy Giuliani’s financial obligation to Russia? Trump and Rudy are the best of buddies so is it any wonder or surprise that if Trump is owned by the red commies so would be Rudy Giuliani ??? Considering all the trips and meetings between Rudy the Soviet scum, I’d wager that Giuliani is even more in debt to Putin than is Trump. And that too would explain a lot. A LOT !!!

...except the shop is real and the owner/tech is responding to inquiries.

If you want to invoke Occam's Razor, then it isn't all Rudy and the Russians. Either the tech is a willing perpetrator of the deception or he was deceived into participating or it's all real.

So the most recent NY Post dump is texts of Joe being a good dad and supporting his son through his struggle with addiction. Got them now guys.

I’ve also become utterly convinced this whole charade with the laptop is to (very poorly) cover a hack conducted by foreign actors.

That's the thing. The Bidens actually took care of this information about a year ago. It, literally, is nothing new. Hunter went out and confessed all, because all he actually is, is all that is bad. Everything else from these incompetent ratfuckers in Rudy's posse is just trying to pump dust out of a detached garden hose, because the Bidens literally put everything out there well ahead of them.



Yup, this was published well before "Burisma" was a Rudy thing. I know I fucking linked it early on in whatever thread that was, when it was first created. This has all of the actual information. Then. Nothing is new. Not one fucking thing. It's all the same over the last year and longer. NY Post has published nothing new about Hunter Biden. His addictions, hell, they have been public knowledge for YEARS. And they fucking released it themselves. I guess OP really is as illiterate as he exposes himself to be: can't be bothered to know shit about anything, but as soon as his handlers tell him what to think, HERE HE GOES!

(lol, this one might now be behind a paywall, because retards are making it trend)

I assumed the tech to be a willing participant all along. It's the only way it makes sense, and the only way they can claim it wasn't obtained via hacking. None of it has to hold water any further than the election, anyway.
