At least it may be the case that Hunter Biden is now immune to blackmail
After all, the myriad awful things we’ve learned about him so far don’t seem to have made a particle of difference.
But this is still disturbing – or would be, in a world where dissipation like that still offended the standards of enough people, and newspapers told the truth:
Hunter Biden claimed Russians stole another one of his laptops for blackmail while he was close to overdosing in a Las Vegas hotel room, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The alleged incident would mean Hunter lost a total of three computers – the first abandoned at a Delaware computer store and the second seized by federal agents – each likely to hold sensitive information on President Joe Biden and the embarrassing pictures, videos and communications of his son.
The third laptop still appears to be missing – and was taken by Russian drug dealers after they partied with Hunter in Vegas, he told a prostitute in a conversation caught on camera.
After filming himself having sex with the woman using his laptop in January 2019, Hunter left the camera rolling as he recounted a Vegas bender in which he spent ’18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite,’ sometimes costing $10,000 a night.
‘I spent f***ing crazy amounts of money,’ Hunter said. ‘I was with these guys. The one guy was, not like you anyway… each night he’d be like ‘there’s going to be so many people here, crazy f***ing party’ and each night it’s nobody.’
All the people who were horrified by false allegations about Trump’s supposed relations with Russian prostitutes could not care less about Biden’s actual relations with Russian drug dealers and with prostitutes. Just to refresh your memory on how life (Hunter’s) imitates art (the fabrications of those who spread the lies about Trump), take a look (the article is from April of 2019):
Rtskhiladze told Mueller that “tapes” referred to “compromising tapes of Trump rumored to be held by persons associated with the Russian real estate conglomerate Crocus Group,” which had helped host the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant, according to the report (the pageant was owned by Trump for years). Cohen told the special counsel that he spoke to Trump about the issue after receiving Rtskhiladze’s text…
BuzzFeed News published the full, unverified dossier that included the infamous claim that Russian authorities had evidence of Trump watching prostitutes urinate in a hotel suite.
There is no indication that such a tape exists and Trump has vehemently denied it. Rtskhiladze also told prosecutors that he was told the tapes were fake, but that he didn’t convey that to Cohen.
The allegation was not just that Trump did this, but that it opened him up to blackmail possibilities and this was why he was in Russia’s pocket. Something like that.
But Hunter and Joe Biden’s actual vulnerability to blackmail is not the concern of the left at all. They are interested only in suppressing the reports and also discrediting them as “fake news” and “Russian disinformation,” in order to protect Joe Biden for the 2020 election and beyond. Now that it is crystal clear that the Hunter laptop stories are all true and even worse than previously reported, most Biden voters don’t seem to care.
Or perhaps they don’t even know.
Biden’s approval rating has been going down, but it is still ludicrously high considering the situation, which is hardly limited to the laptops but includes the destruction of much of the American economy and the triumph of identity politics and leftist influence. And although those polls are probably inaccurate, I am unaware of any of my liberal Democrat-voting friends who don’t still think Biden is a great improvement on Trump. So my guess is that a lot of Biden-approval does indeed remain intact out there.
The degeneracy of the president’s son is quite beyond the realm of parody and satire, but what is perhaps most damning is Hunter’s admission concerning the scandalous amount of money which he confesses to having made (“a gazillion dollars”) while flying around the world on AF2 capitalizing on his father’s name despite an utter lack of ability or accomplishment, although, in truth, he has recently been writing and painting masterpieces. Meanwhile he and his wife have been enjoying around-the-clock protection from the Secret Service while migrating from the Hollywood Hills to Venice to Malibu, three of the very nicest parts of LA County, although Venice has recently been deteriorating from the crisis of vagrants. Who can even begin to guess what compromising Hunterian material is being held by foreign powers?
In the laptop Hunter left at the repair shop, he wrote that he had to give half of his income to Joe.
On this latest tape, Hunter said he makes a “gazillion dollars.” Did Joe get 50% of that?
There is a substantial likelihood that Joe has used his family to funnel money to him. No one, however, seems interested.
Joe Biden has been bribed by the Chinese and it is quite obvious to me. Joe’s actions and inactions show his favorable policy to China.
Obergruppenfüher Müller knew the Russian collusion was a hoax, but being a heel clicking , goose stepping order follower he went along with destroying many lives. Besides he has no quarter for Germans who marry racially inferior slavic women or have Judische grosskinder.

Or, as Viva Frei puts it…. “Confession Through Projection“
I think Biden’s support among the progressive elite remains mostly intact but I think he is losing support among the working class particularly with the Hispanic working class. These are the people most affected by the Covid lockdowns. I think his decline in popularity mirrors that of Newsom in California. Baris and Barnes had a long segment on this phenomenon on a What Are the Odds episode. Biden’s support in the latest Real Clear Politics average is at its lowest point at +4.1 but I think if the polls did not oversample the progressive elite, he would already be underwater.
Servus Avi!
The thing I like about Avi is you know where you stand with him. I find Ambiguity such a Bitch. Must be my Authoritarian Personality :).
Interesting the Miller/Mueller dichotomy. Encounter a fresh Miller and I feel compelled to go Wiki his/her ‘Early Life’ just to be sure. When it’s a mere Mueller, instead start humming “Vom Wasser haben wir’s gelernt’. Go figure.
I came to the same conclusion. Arguably, it is only now, and in the past the blackmail has lead to many other deals that hurt Americans. Otherwise, Hunter occupies a place in which, despite all evidence validating the bad behavior, anything he does won’t get condemned, much less prosecuted. Here’s just a few off the top of my head:
Discharged from the Navy for drug use.
Addiction to crack (including dealing besides the obvious possession), while father pushed legislation that imprisoned thousands of minorities on federal crimes for similar activities.
Affair, while married to the mother of his first children, with his widowed sister-in-law.
Appeared in photo with 14-year old niece, who was topless and daughter to woman he was having affair (and deceased brother), with additional rumors of text messages admitting to a sexual affair with the minor.
Affair, after separating from wife and sister-in-law, with a prostitute resulting in another child that he denied and failed to pay child support.
Various sex tapes with paid prostitutes while doing drugs.
Paid tens of millions to be on board of foreign oil company while having a public track record described above.
On the other hand, if you or I walk into the Capitol uninvited by Nancy Pelosi, then good luck getting a bail hearing.
On this latest tape, Hunter said he makes a “gazillion dollars.” Did Joe get 50% of that? — Cornhead
Yes, I was wondering about the “gazillion dollars” thing. I had a relative who investment managed big money, and she pegged “rich” clients at $25M back in the late 80’s. Hunter pulled down a maybe a couple million with Burisma, and there are a couple other lesser things we know about. So is Hunter just a stoned guy spouting off, or is there a mountain of graft we don’t know about?
“All the people who were horrified by false allegations about Trump’s supposed relations with Russian prostitutes could not care less about Biden’s actual relations with Russian drug dealers and with prostitutes.”
That resonates.
Well said.
Like Neo, I can report all my D/lib friends are blissfully unaware of Hunter’s shenanigans. They never look at the Daily Mail, and only get their info from the usual suspects. Orange man and mean tweets gone, covid a little bit of a problem, but all else is peachy keen in their world.
@TJ:
$25M is nice to have. Definitely lifetime financial security escape velocity. But not what it was in the 80s. I was reading a Charles McCarry spy novel the other day and there was this quaint bit about this old WASP family guy getting back home after 10 years in a Chinese prison and his banker telling him that his run down much-diluted inheritance he’d never given much thought to (naturally… being a WASP aristo, and Harvard Man, of course) had grown to ~$1.5M and he’d never have any worries about money — written in early 80s and incident in novel occurred ca. 1973
I’ll go with there being a mountain of graft we don’t know about. Every time Hunter mouths off, he’s angering the serious foreign players in the Graft Game. Note I said foreign players — seems that the US Media and Financial Fraud Investigation bodies are happy to cover it all up. There’s probably more effective political opposition research and dirt digging in Ukraine and other sleazy joints where Hunter and the Cabal have been operating, so he should be more scared of being whacked by their bad guys to silence him. Just as well he’s got Secret Service protection.
Have difficulty imagining Hunter being in the loop on all the graft. He has to be just part ot the ‘Cost of doing business’… Surely?
Re Immunity to Blackmail:
If those perfidious Russians, Chinese, or Israelis are any good at their jobs, they’ll have real or manufactured video proof that he’s banged some 15 year olds.
*That* is how you keep a hold on people in 2021. Sheep, goats, chickens, hookers, Milo Yiannopolous’s Sunglasses, half an acre of watermelons, a chainsaw massacre with the Zetas… no big deal. But a 15.9 year old boy or girl and I don’t think even Hunter could slide on by.
Hunter is too pathetic to arose concern. Biden renting out his influence, through his proxy Hunter is of grave concern.
As for the liberals who know but could care less, they deserve everything that fate has in store for them. One way or the other, they’re living on borrowed time.
My guess is most US voters are clueless about Hunters “video hobby” due to the censorship by the main stream media and big tech.
The only way I can lose [this election] is if I’m caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.
–Edwin Edwards (D), while running for another term as Governor of Louisiana (1984)
Zaphod:
Edwards didn’t come up with that one. I recall Hunter S. Thompson using it in “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail” (1972) and I believe it goes farther back.
BTW, what happened to Milo? I recall him having “live boy” problems and now he’s renounced homosexuality and come out as some kind of born-again Christian.
I do wonder what Chinese and Russians have on Hunter, beyond what he admits to, and also what they’ve got on Joe. Graft, surely. Sex? Per Zaphod’s question about 15-year-olds, Joe puts his hands on young girls in public. In private? Do people know and don’t talk about it, like Cuomo?
My sample of one Biden supporter, a more or less fanatical progressive, who has heard at least something of Hunter’s scandals: they are dismissed with “Why should we care what Hunter Biden did? He’s not the president”, accompanied by a vehement how-can-people-be-so-stupid sneer.
Regarding what constitutes “rich”: I remember in 1970 an acquaintance being notified that she had gotten an inheritance that would give her $8,000 a year for the rest of her life. We were all envious because she would never have to work again if she was content to live modestly. It was not wealth but it was enough to live on.
Many people here can probably remember when $10,000 a year was the point where you were considered upper-middle class. I guess that was the ’50s and early ’60s.
@Huxley:
Thanks for reminding me of the Dead Girl or Live Boy quip. Hunter S Thompson should be alive today. We’re living in his world.
Oh… Milo’s like Cerno… Continued attention-whoring is a given. Predicting what garb they’ll be doing it in from day to day is a thankless task. So is keeping up with it.
Both of them are opportunistic weather vanes. But their existence is a plus in the sense that Vox Day pimps for them and even his cult followers sometimes pipe up about the incongruity of this —> then mucho entertainment as Beale slaps them down and they all grovel back into line. Goddamn Gammas!
I did notice the chatter in feeds about Milo getting all washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Someone should do an autopsy on the Lamb, if you ask me.
Mac:
I’d be curious whether your friend is aware of the concept of blackmail plus the concept of being motivated to protect one’s son. And that’s leaving out the fact that the laptop implicates Joe in various ways.
I’d also be curious whether your friend ever possessed any interest in what Donald Jr. or Ivanka Trump were doing.
When it’s a mere Mueller, instead start humming “Vom Wasser haben wir’s gelernt’. Go figure.
I think our Müller prefers “morgen gehört mir”
Re: Milo…
Zaphod:
I enjoyed Milo is in his brief heyday. He was sharp, outrageous and could think on his feet. He had a real 60s-style for puncturing pomposity and stupidity on the left.
When the roof fell in on Milo for mentioning he had sex with underage males, to me it was like “rock stars sleep with groupies” — old news. Maybe I lived in San Francisco too long.
But indeed the roof fell in. He lost a big publishing contract and most of his speaking gigs. Meanwhile, though I don’t know the specifics, he had accumulated debt on the order of a million.
So one way I consider Milo’s current situation is that he is doing his best to make some money, since his previous persona is radioactive.
But I’m guessing.
@Avi:
Tomorrow Belongs to Me is your Broadway/Hollywood team taking a leaf out of Streicher’s rag after the fact. Remember? 😀 It’s as canonical as Obama making the waters recede.
@Huxley:
Well yeah… Fag bonks Twink. News at 10. Still, if he’s going to get up to that kind of stuff, the other side of politics might suit him better… or could just go work for the RNC.
For sure he’s trying to claw back some money while his name still has any currency. Cernovich is similar — always ducking and weaving and keeping up with the latest most profitable grift. I think Milo does it by instinct and Cerno probably has an eye on SEO data when he zigs or zags.
It’s hard to say, since we don’t know much about cases which didn’t appear publicly. But it seems to me that all dems are, by party affiliation, immune to blackmail.

of course
And Among Herr Müllers landsman Streiches last word as be was being hanged was “Purimfest”!!!
As far as Milo I’ll go with this statement and remember that as far as I am concerned he was among the first victims of what we now know as “cancel culture.” The Left hates most of all when a member of one of their “pet” classes doesn’t fall in line and opposes them.

I wish him well.
Neo, your first questions presuppose acquaintance with facts that most likely never came near this person, much less engaged his attention. His reaction didn’t really amount to anything more than “nah nah nah i can’t hear you.”
As for the Trump family, I don’t know, but I never heard the person say anything about them. I think it was enough that Trump himself was such a sacrilege.
This person works for the United States Government by the way and is quite intelligent and educated, in the very limited sense that the term usually means nowadays.
@ huxley (& Zaphod & geoffb) – “BTW, what happened to Milo? I recall him having “live boy” problems and now he’s renounced homosexuality and come out as some kind of born-again Christian.”
This is the most recent information at Wikipedia:
I was kind of sad to see Milo flame-out in 2019; stories about him were always good for a laugh. FWIW, I most enjoyed the events where he mixed his outrageous provocateur moments with serious, and quite credible, observations on the zeitgeist.
@Avi:
Never truer words spoken, but did not win any Closing Night awards for Best Mordant Wit. A trifle labored. But you get that when you’ve gassed all the best comedians. Goldman/Spengler makes a good case in one of his many essays that Germanic Humor has never recovered.
@AesopFan:
Is he selling shares in the Bridge next to his Gay Conversion Therapy Center? 🙂
Goldman—usually oh-so perceptive—has clearly overlooked Mutti Merkel…whose deadpan delivery and self-effacing shtick (while owing much to Buster Keaton)—not to mention her uniquely comic fashion sense—is truly uber alles….
Zap-hod
“Goldman/Spengler makes a good case in one of his many essays that Germanic Humor has never recovered.”
When the late great Robin Williams visited Germany he was interviewed it was ask him why he thought German comedy was so poor. His response was “you killed all the funny people”

Let the effen comet hit.
I think the foreign powers now know Hunter Biden is officially immune to blackmail.
They see the American press won’t publish or even acknowledge the existence of the heaps of utterly damning evidence available, that the American judicial system or Department of Justice would never seek to prosecute or even investigate any wrongdoing committed by him or his father, that the American congress would never press the issue vis a vis impeachment, and that it doesn’t matter at all to half the American population.
China or Russia or the Ukraine could release documents, photos, videos, and reams of other incontrovertible evidence showing that Biden was bought and paid for and utterly under their control, everything they constantly accused Trump of and more, and it won’t do a thing other than merit a mention in a British tabloid.
But no more mean tweets. I know some suburban women for whom that is all there is. Policy. Results. Such mentions bring expressions of confusion and alarm. What is this policy of which you speak? What is policy? What are results? Why are we supposed to be interested?
No more mean tweets.
