Good luck with that.
Let me say, I believe that the "computer experts" in government know a great deal more about the ability to determine computer tampering than you do.

I was replying to the comment that only Hunter would be in legal trouble and his trouble is limited to only tax evasion. First off we don't have complete knowledge of what is on that computer. Secondly, if any of the money went to Joe Biden his troubles exceed just not paying taxes because he would be receiving those monies because of his political position. There are a myriad of charges that could arise from that.

Since you are a legal expert on chain of custody, perhaps you should study up on computer forensics

Oh, so according to you, if the FBI came into Trumps Mar Largo estate and took information from boxes that it could not be used against him because they could not prove chain of custody from the time the documents left the government

At best it might lead to an IRS charge for dodging taxes but that's not really the hill the GOP should choose to die on.
Its so good you know so much about what is on that laptop to make that assertion. Now let me point out that if Hunter Biden received money that was not declared that would be tax evasion. If Joe Biden is the "big guy" and he also is found to have taken the money, he is guilty of both tax evasion, extortion, money laundering, and taking a bribe.

And in the months this laptop was allegedly abandoned?
Which part of the experts at least so far have said that the information on the laptop was not planted or altered. Perhaps you are no computer expert but the fact is there are forensic experts that can tell if any data on a computer was altered or manipulated.
Using your logic a murder weapon with DNA on it could not be turned in as evidence because you could not prove the chain of custody from the time it was used in the murder to when it was turned in.-

It doesn’t matter what is on the lap top, there is no secure chain of custody.
And just where did you get your JD degree from.
Chain of custody applies to evidence doctored after the receipt by authorities not before.-

Ozimoron, you certainly know so much that is either untrue or unproven. Its amazing the "facts" you know that are unknown to anyone else but you.
Who has taken massive kickbacks and provide proof. -

These very old figures hide the real problem. The rich pay a far lower burden of tax than the rest. For even more shocking figures, read down the article to see what corporations pay.
These are 2020 figures DUH
Also CORPORATIONS DONT' PAY ANY TAX.
A tax on a business is no different than rent, utilities, insurance, wages, advertising etc. IT GETS BAKED INTO THE PRICE OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES that business provides.
Maakro here pays VAT to the government. You didn't. But wait, that VAT is added to your bill.
When you fill up with gasoline, you didn't pay the fuel tax to Thailand the service station did. So did the business pay or did you.
The fact is the top 5% pay more than the bottom 90% With a standard deduction now $25,900 anyone earning less than that PAYS NOTHING.

You are as Reagan described when he said. It isn't that our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant. They just know so much that isn't true"

And fossil fuels are completely clean, requiring no transformers, no cables.
No fossil fuels are not completely clean. However if you remember I said we are trading one form of pollution for another. Those who think their electric car is somehow saving the enviorment forget about the fact that 500,000 gallons of water are required to mine just 1 ton of lithium with is enough to only produce 190,000 cell phones. They are still using electricity which is generated predomintely by coal, natural gas, and nuclear. The generation of that electricity creates pollution and its transmission likewise has pollution associated with it.
So does the drilling for oil, its distilling to gasoline, and its trucking to service station. However it is a fool who thinks that somehow electric vehicles and the generation of electricity is not without associated pollution.

On 1/6/2023 at 4:01 PM, ozimoron said:Biden tanked the economy?
Yes Biden tanked the economy. Don't you remember you were the one who hailed his trillion dollar spending to "save" those poor businesses that were suffering. Why were they suffering? Because the Democrats spearheaded by Biden shut down the economy with mask mandates, quarantines, restricted hours, social distancing mandates, etc.
In April 2020, the unemployment rate reached 14.8%—the highest rate observed since data collection began in 1948. In July 2021, unemployment remained higher (5.4%) than it had been in February 2020 (3.5%). The labor force participation rate declined to 60.2% in April 2020—a level not seen since the early 1970s—then began a partial recovery in May 2020. The labor force participation rate was 61.7% in July 2021, 1.7 percentage points below the level in January 2020, before the pandemic and the economic recession. Nonfarm payrolls shed 22.1 million jobs between January 2020 and April 2020, with employment declining to 86% of its pre-recession level. In July 2021,
aggregate employment remained 5.4 million jobs below its pre-recession level. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted economic sectors disparately. The leisure and hospitality sector lost the largest number of jobs since January 2020, and persons last employed in this sector have consistently exhibited some of the highest unemployment rates throughout the pandemic. Additionally, the education and services sector and the government sector have exhibited the second and third-largest losses in jobs since January 2020, despite relatively low unemployment rates among persons last employed in these sectors.
Now you can say Biden was not responsible for Covid. BUT HIS RESPONSE TO IT IS WHAT CRATERED THE ECONOMY. Real GDP FELL 3.4% in 2020.
One other factor that you overlook with the price of oil. Yes it has declined. However oil is pegged predominately to the USD. As dollars weaken the price of oil and gold rise to offset. The reverse is true when dollars strengthen. That is the major reason for the price of oil declining. The dollar strengthened by 12% in 2022. at $100 that is a $12 decrease in the price of oil. Again should Biden get credit for that. Only if you favor the ridiculous spending that fueled inflation and caused the Federal Reserve to boost interest rates making U.S. dollars more attractive to investors.-

Explain what pollution is created in energy transmission?
Chomper
1. if you have wind, solar, or hydro electric. Did you ever consider the pollution created by the construction of the solar panels, wind turbines, or hydro electric dam.
2. That power is created in a region often far away from the electric power company that has the grid to distribute it to home or business. Maybe you have not noticed the poles that are strung to hang the electric wires.3. Those poles then have transformers The World Health Organization cautions that those who live within a mile of a high voltage transformer could develop neurological disorders. Exposure to electromagnetic field waves, even weak ones, can impair the brain's chemical balance and ability of the immune system to fight diseases.
4. Those transformers have oil which is mostly polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) which is responsible for producing toxicity in humans. Chronic exposure with PCB may cause some toxicity such as hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity.5. Now perhaps again since you didn't notice the poles, you might have missed the wires hanging from the poles. The metal inside those wires is mostly Aluminum Steel which guess what has to be manufacturered and creates pollution to be produced.
6. Perhaps you missed it but those electric wires are coated. That coating is PVC is the most environmentally damaging plastic. The PVC lifecycle -- its production, use, and disposal -- results in the release of toxic, chlorine-based chemicals. These toxins are building up in the water, air and food chain.
7. Energy from wind, solar, and hydroelectric is generated and if not used it is wasted. Unlike hydrocarbons that can be stored, excess electricity sent to a power company can only be retained by the use of batteries. Neither efficient, and extremely toxic to produce.

Seen the price of oil lately? Under Biden's watch? That criticism has sailed.
LOL,
Oh you mean the price of oil at $75 to $80 a bargain. Perhaps economics was not your best subject. Of course prices of oil go down when you have a weak economy. So are you suggesting Biden should get credit for the low prices because he tanked the economy.That is like saying the house was full of termites but he exterminated them by burning the house down.

32 minutes ago, ozimoron said:Covid stimulus saving lots of incomes and companies from going bust mean anything to you?
You remind me of the story of the scientist who wanted to study the impact of pulling the wings off flies. He pulled the first set off and slapped his hand and the fly flew off. He wrote down that pulling the wings off had no impact on the fly's ability to fly. He then pulled off the second set and slapped his hands and the fly remained. He then put in this notes that though pulling the first set of wings off had no effect, pulling the second set off caused the fly to lose its hearing since it obviously could no longer hear him clap.
If both administrations but more with the Democrats had not locked down the country over the overblown fears of Covid the economy would not have tanked. As to stimulus spending to aid a recovery that again is a bogus theory. If it worked, there would never be an economic slowdown. The government upon seeing the economy slow would just pump some money into the system and it would be reinvigorated. It has not worked that way. Despite trillions of dollars the USA is entering a recession brought on soley because those trillions of dollars caused uncontrolled inflation.
The best thing for the government to do is to get out of the business of trying to micromanage the economy. Anytime government interferes with the marketplace it distorts it. Loans for everyone for home. Hence the housing crisis. Lets move to Ethanol, a cleaner burning fuel. That only cost hundreds of billions in subsidies to produce a fuel that is less energy efficient and caused the price of anything like cereal, flower, beef, pigs, etc to go up as corn was used to make ethanol instead of food products.
The government is like a giant example of munchausen syndrome where it inflicts injury on the economy and then rushes in to declare that it will safe the economy from the disaster that its policies created.-

Since the FY 2020 and FY2021 Federal budgets were passed while Trump was in office, it looks like spending skyrocketed under Trump.
Oh there is no question that Trump like the presidents before him was no fiscal dove. However this is like a snowball running down a hill. The deficits and spending keep increasing. As to inflation, the only thing you can say is that it was low during the Trump years. Whether he was responsible for that or it was purely lucky, is up for debate.
As to Biden, his spending has outstripped Trump and certainly these huge "stimulus" bills are nothing more than throwing gasoline on a fire.
Certainly a major reason for the inflation is the huge run up in oil. Biden and the Democrats position on oil was a significant factor in the oil price going up. He killed the Keystone Pipeline, he cancelled some existing leases for oil exploration and placed a moratorium on signing new leases. That told the oil markets that the USA which was a net exporter of oil would now have to purchase it and it started the spiraling of oil prices up. Oil goes into almost every product that is produced and certainly is used for every product that has to be transported.-

Does spending money that generates inflation also apply to Trump's $2.5 trillion gift to the rich? Or is that trickle down economics?
Now Ozimoron, under which president did the SPENDING skyrocket. It is not a lack of tax revenue we are now approaching 50% for all Federal, State, and Local tax receipts. It is no matter how much is collected the government spends more. That creates inflation. Now the top half of wage earners already pay 97% of the taxes how much more do you want? Now at the point where taxes become so confiscatory at the top levels that there is no point in being productive, those who previously earned the large incomes have ZERO INCENTIVE to produce.

14 hours ago, Scott said:You have an administration that is not Republican that has controlled the White House, Senate, and House for the past two years as inflation skyrocketed. Blaming Republicans is a total misrepresentation of the facts.
In terms of the expansion of Medicaid or for that matter anything else, does it never dawn on liberals that spending money no matter how noble to person thinks the cause is, CREATES INFLATION that robs everyone. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. You can not run multi-trillion dollar deficits and spend your way to prosperity.
What should be the objective is to enhance the economy to provide good paying jobs so people can afford their own healthcare and not placing the burden of their care on those already working and paying the freight.
This is a chart of the inflation rate. Please note when INFLATION RAGED causing everything including housing prices and rents to skyrocket.-

Next time someone says the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, show them this
Try showing them this. Or don't you believe the words of Lincoln who was the person responsible for declaring the civil war as to what his objective was.
This letter was written as a response to Horace Greely asking the President to declare emancipation as the reason for the war. Now if the purpose from the onset was to free the slaves WHY WOULD GREELY IN AN OPEN LETTER ENCOURAGE THE PRESIDENT TO DECLARE IT SO.
The fact is the war was strictly on economic and states rights issues. However killing ones brothers to preserve the tarrifs that protected the industry of the Northern States was hardly as sympathetic reason as freeing enslaved men. Hence the revisionist history that ignores the facts.
While Lincoln waited for his generals to secure a victory, New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley provided Lincoln with an opportunity to test public reaction to emancipation as a war measure. In an open letter to President Lincoln published on August 20 under the heading "The Prayer of Twenty Millions," Greeley urged Lincoln to recognize slavery as the root cause of the war and act boldly with regard to emancipation

If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that
Abraham Lincoln Letter
Now Omicron unless you can't read, this response very clearly articulates that abolishing slavery was not the cause of the war and the abolitionists later brought up emancipation well after the war was already underway.

Data from Hunter Biden's laptop is real and was not planted by Russians looking to frame the Biden family: CBS News

I didn't realize that you had such inside information on the entirety of what is on the computer.
I suggest we know only a smattering of what is or is not on that computer.
