Nine rehabs, two trials, 12 felony counts, and three-fifths of five-eighths of fuck all found. Congratulations, America, you just fully vetted your next congressman.
this article is bloody spot on and it makes me think a lot as a left behind ally. We stood with American troops on the ground and risked everything, but this current administration completely abandoned us in danger because they was too weak to keep their promises. Seeing how Hunter Biden stays unkillable after they threw everything at him, including dumping his whole digital life in Congress, is crazy. If the DNC leaders actually had his guts to speak the truth and tell the corrupt politicians to go fuck themselves instead of writing softly worded letters, maybe they wouldn't fail their international allies and their own country so badly
Not sure given obvious exceptions, but I think this country has an aversion to dynastic politicians. Having sex with a mourning sister-in-law is a real hurdle. Although this nation’s recent voting choices seem to negate that argument. Addiction is still seen by some as personal failure rather than a disease process. Could enough voters overcome their hypocritical reasoning, maybe hold their collective noses, and vote for Hunter Biden? Maybe. This nation has a puritanical streak they like to dust off and tout as virtue when it suits them. Pearl clutching as sport is our real national pastime. After eight years of 👹, the necklace is out and in use. Not sure enough of us would be willing to take the risk again to give Mr. Biden the win. This is my observation of our citizenry and not my opinion. My two cents.
you make a good argument. While he may be an "ideal" person for the job, his baggage would drag him down - not because it is particularly tawdry, but because the MAGATS would use it against him easily.
Although that ship has sailed for MAGATS, they wouldn’t hesitate to use it. They may be able to persuade just enough voters to cringe at the prospect. Hypocrisy and virtue signaling is also a national pass time.
I agree to a point. For some people virtue signaling and cognitive dissonance are a daily ritual. And some of those people vote. The Overton Window (what we consider to be the norm) has shifted. The problem is it’s not equally applied. Republicans gonna be republicans and Democrats gonna be democrats. Independents are key. How many of them are thinking voters? How many are knee-jerk? How many apply standards unequally? I think the midterms will shed light on that question. How many are struggling to the point where “standards of conduct” are replaced with , “I can’t pay my bills?” (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) To put it another way, how many had to pawn their pearls to pay the bills? How we make voting choices is complicated. Yes 👹 changed that decision by claiming some religious conversion. Good enough for some. Horse shit to others. There is also the political dynasty thing to consider. A deep dive into Hunter’s qualifications would factor in. His capacity to handle the pressures of the office given his addiction is a question. His behavior when using is a cudgel that would be used daily. We love a good redemption story, true enough. But I think the last president has effectively exhausted the appetite for generosity of spirit. Wouldn’t the smarter route be to find a person with less baggage? Again, my two cents.
I completely agree with everything that was said. However, I still have hope that the American people will vote for someone who will truly help the abandoned Afghan allies, so that we can be saved from this complete uncertainty, and at the same time serve the people of the United States.
Pearl clutching Karens when the mood suits is correct. And when that mood isn't suiting, they can be the most hateful, bigoted, thieving, lying, traitorous people on the planet. I'm talking about the Joeys too.
Being a rapist and committed adulterer wasn't a hurdle for Trump. Even being an ignorant fool wasn't a hurdle for Trump. Why a different standard for Hunter?
The US is currently only accepting white South Africans as refugees. These people are not at risk; some have gone back home.
From Google AI regarding to what Trump did to our Afghan allies.
“Following his inauguration, President Donald Trump blocked resettlement and evacuation programs for Afghan allies by signing an executive order that suspended the U.S. refugee resettlement program, cancelled flights, and halted pending applications.
“The blanket suspension and travel ban initially left nearly 1,700 Afghans whose flights were canceled in immediate limbo. Broadly, the freeze on processing and travel bans impacted tens of thousands of Afghans who had assisted U.S. and coalition forces, including an estimated 200,000 individuals left behind in the region following the 2021 withdrawal. Furthermore, the administration's separate move to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) placed around 12,000 Afghans already living and working in the U.S. at risk of deportation.”
All those people are in mortal danger because Trump left them there and it was his peace deal Biden followed through on.
None of them wanted to be there; they expected America to be their home.
In the collapse of the South Vietnamese government a single US official organised their navy to bring them and their dependents and meet at reference point A. They then sailed on to the US base in the Philippines.
America had fucked up but it did the right thing in that moment. It should do the right thing now and restart the program.
Because those people are at risk and it’s because of Donald Trump.
Ya know, he was just following in the footsteps of Hillary. But I admire the fact that he’s willing to say it out loud. This, perhaps, because he’s more or less of the next generation from hers (once the dam breaks, people tend to not hold back).
While he has nothing to apologize for (what he did in his private life is his business) I wouldn’t put that on anyone. To have to relive every single mistake he’s ever made, courtesy of the selfRIGHTeous, pearl clutching Christian cosplayers, has to get to you as a human being.
I would vote for him, yes, but for his own well being, I hope he considers running and all its implications carefully.
Since Gman is asking why Hunter’s not running, I’ll tell him. Hunter is not electable. Sad, but true. The GOP hit machine has worked him over so well that even Democrats would shun him. And you can’t assume that every recovering addict, whether helped by Hunter’s organization or not, would vote for him. MAGAMorons are recovering addicts too, and their political ideology trumps (God how I hate that pun) supporting Hunter. So yes, Hunter is an open book, but it is a book that most voters wouldn’t want on their shelf, and he is a book that would prompt GOP book burning like an LGBT porn graphic novel in a Mississippi middle school. OK, enough book metaphors. Simply put, Hunter might make a great politician, but he will never be given the chance to be elected. And given everything he has been through, I think he is too smart to want to expose himself to the grief. One last point, Gman. I read you religiously, and quite a few times in the past month, you have referred to IQ47 as “a 79 year old man”. The Tangerine Turd turned 80 on June 14, so you are 5 weeks behind. Please update, because I know IFLA is all about truth and facts. Love you, and Maizy and Texas Mom, and Mitzy. ❤️🇨🇦
Hunter didn't just survive his past, he's now thriving in his present. It's an unbelievable, and heartwarming, success story. Everyone who's life has been touched by addiction, and let's be honest - that's everyone in America - admires and respects the work Hunter has put in.
I will agree with you on a few things here. One there was NO Biden "crime" family (of course we know there IS one with the current leader), Two considering he was the only child left of Bidens it was worth it for Joe Biden to clear and pardon his son for his crimes (which pale in comparison with the "crime" family in office now). And finally Hunter has more truth in what he says than our leader has in any of his little fingers. And as far as Hunter trying to pay back he's truly doing a better job than the nepoes of the the current leader will ever do.
Every word he speaks is the truth - more people should take a page from his book. The things he has been through show he is human and came out the other side. He is exactly what we need - someone with no scandals waiting to come to light. I’d vote for him.
There's truth, and then there's truth so true it rattles the bones. Would that this democracy could be shaken back to life with someone like Hunter Biden.
This is SO PROFOUND amandancks! Hats off to you! It digs right down past all the accolades one could spout. In only a very few words, you’ve hit on something so deep, it indeed rattles the bones. It’s the little, most often missed little things, little comments that roar. Yours does that my friend. Loud, clear and not to be missed! 🇨🇦
The ultimate redemption story for the folks that like that sort of thing. For the rest of us, he could be the spotlight we need to drive all the little Fox affiliated cockroaches out from under the furniture in the White House to the middle of the floor where we can administer a long overdue dose of bug spray.
I love the man's honesty, I love the way he thinks. But I would NEVER ask him to run for anything for a simple reason. This man is white knuckling his way through every fucking day he's breathing. Yes, he's stood up, taken every bit of shit thrown at him and is still standing. But I would no more ask him to put it all at risk for an office, even the Presidency, than I would ask my dead wife for sex. The very thought is ghoulish, and I don't think he'd even consider it, nor should he.
White knuckling it yes but he would be under every microscope in the country and knows it. I think he has the fortitude to overcome that and every loud and vitriolic criic of him would just be exposing themselves for the pathetic illness inducing microbes that they are.
As one who had his own white knuckles moments with alcohol & suicide, asking such is not something to do from outside. Only he knows how much he can handle, and no one should ask him to make that choice, least of all strangers. He is far too valuable a human being to put at risk. Valuable to those who see his recovery and say, “If he can, I can.” Valuable to the dad who's lost so much, and the step-mom who loves so fiercely. Besides, there's a Corvette that's gonna need a new driver far too soon.
I wasn't saying he should be asked or or pressured to do this from anyone outside. I was just trying to say that if he decided on that route I think he would be able to handle it. But you are are right. It should be his decision alone with no pushing. I'm sure that whatever he decides will be the best course for him and I just hope it makes him happy and furthers his recovery.
I doubt he could win because of all the baggage, but he could be a great help to virtually every other democrat candidate by simply running. Can you imagine the money, time, and effort the 'pubs would spend crucifying him? All those resources they wasted on Hunter would have been used against the democratic field of candidates. That may just be the biggest assist in the next election cycle!
Reading US citizens comments about addiction and sex with his grieving sister in law may be a line in the sand. I am dumbfounded that somehow they can vote for (or not vote at all which is the same thing)a rapist, pedophile, cheating, cowardly piece of sht but might have issue with a man who has fought the fierce fight of recovery and won. A man who is completely open and acknowledges and accepts responsibility for his actions as an addict. A man who has stood in the fire of Maga wrath and came out stronger than ever, not caved like the recently deceased because he was afraid.
I watched his sit down with Jennifer Welch last night and must say that there is more honesty, transparency and integrity on the tip of his congressionally exposed cock (courtesy of mtg, everyone's favourite nut bag) than almost every sitting member of every senate, house of reps, house of parliament, city counsel or whatever anywhere in the world.
Unlike all of them Hunter knows he has an unsavoury past. Unlike the overwhelming majority of the others he confronts and admits it openly and has worked hard to redeem himself. Personally I think he's done a hell of successful job of that. For that alone he deserves and has my respect. As far as being too damaged to run for congress, perhaps. But for a change, if he did run and won his constituents would get actually their money's worth.

I would vote for him.
Vote for him, I would volunteer to be his campaign manager.
Vote fir him, I volunteer to be his campaign manager.

I appreciate your unvarnished opinion. You made some very strong and realistic points about the current political climate.
you make a good argument. While he may be an "ideal" person for the job, his baggage would drag him down - not because it is particularly tawdry, but because the MAGATS would use it against him easily.
After trump, nobody has "too much baggage."
Although that ship has sailed for MAGATS, they wouldn’t hesitate to use it. They may be able to persuade just enough voters to cringe at the prospect. Hypocrisy and virtue signaling is also a national pass time.
Yes exactly I agree with you 💯
You're saying that stuff will stick at this point? I beg to differ.

Do explain. There is nothing in Hunter’s past that remotely resembles Hillary’s path through politics.
Except for the relentless harassment from the Republicans over bogus claims.
While he has nothing to apologize for (what he did in his private life is his business) I wouldn’t put that on anyone. To have to relive every single mistake he’s ever made, courtesy of the selfRIGHTeous, pearl clutching Christian cosplayers, has to get to you as a human being.

I've been reading a lot of his posts on here. He talks a very good game indeed, and is spot on, as are you.
I think his past is sadly his undoing, but it shouldn't be, it's less tarnished than the spectacular waste of carbon currently playing president.
Hunter didn't just survive his past, he's now thriving in his present. It's an unbelievable, and heartwarming, success story. Everyone who's life has been touched by addiction, and let's be honest - that's everyone in America - admires and respects the work Hunter has put in.
Absolutely right Toni
Hunter's past is his strength: he's been to hell and made his way back to life, one day at a time. The man has receipts and he's honest about them.
Yes. the president, "I'm NOT a successful businessman but I played on my game show on tv".
Strikes me that he is reasonable man. He has nothing to hide, so he would be better than anything that the Republicans can field.
With AOC as his running mate
🇨🇦🇨🇦
I will agree with you on a few things here.

His auto-biography is life-altering, Beautiful Things. Especially if you live with someone with addiction.
The ultimate redemption story for the folks that like that sort of thing. For the rest of us, he could be the spotlight we need to drive all the little Fox affiliated cockroaches out from under the furniture in the White House to the middle of the floor where we can administer a long overdue dose of bug spray.
More satisfying to just squash them underfoot.
I'm going to be the contrarian here.
I love the man's honesty, I love the way he thinks. But I would NEVER ask him to run for anything for a simple reason. This man is white knuckling his way through every fucking day he's breathing.

Jeff, that is a beautiful and compassionate response to the conversation. Hunter certainly is a valuable human being. And so are you.
Thank you.
I believe he has more power NOT running for congress.
“The grift is so naked it should be on Hunter’s laptop” may be the singularly best description of trumpism I’ve ever read.
I doubt he could win because of all the baggage, but he could be a great help to virtually every other democrat candidate by simply running. Can you imagine the money, time, and effort the 'pubs would spend crucifying him? All those resources they wasted on Hunter would have been used against the democratic field of candidates.

ILFA has become our morning devotional reading. You have become a spiritual guru in this Virginia household.
lol, certainly better than what most of "AMerica is reading" (said with a suitable hillbilly accent}. Where are you? I'm in Richmond.
Well, with suitable hillbilly language, shouldn't that be "Where are you at?"
