      No, please do. It makes it very clear I don’t want to read this trash.

    Now we have a wired article singing his praises? I went from hearing nothing about HB for months to seeing a bunch of posts about his “comeback” and all these owns that he’s getting on social media against conservatives.

    This feels like an astroturf campaign to try to restore his public image.

      if I didn’t know better, I’d say it’s a campaign to put him in office.

      Which to be fair, can’t possibly be a worse idea than putting trump in office. twice.

    It’s because we all have struggled in our own ways and game recognizes game, we see someone who fought demons and came out the other side and we know what that’s like because we fight them too. Addiction is a great equalizer. Doesn’t matter who your dad is or how much money you have, it will still get you. Sure, it could be argued that some with more resources can get better treatment or that people who no resources can’t get ANY treatment but there is no cure for addiction that money can buy, unlike other diseases.

    Hunter has spent a lifetime as a lobbyist, banking on his daddy’s name. I dont understand why anyone likes the guy.

    He tweeted he wasn’t interested in running for office. I do appreciate his backbone when confronting MAGAts though. And that he acknowledges he had a drug problem instead of hiding that truth.

    I don’t give a fuck about Hunter Biden but I do have an intuition that he’ll probably get caught smoking crack and/or banging hookers in the not too distant future, so if I were a public person I would let him talk his shit, maybe cheer him on from a distance but stay out of his orbit.

    I don’t know why American politicians (or ajacents) run from controversy. Americans love flawed people these days. Own your vices and Americans will love you for it.

    Why are we hearing about Hunter Biden? Did his grift dry-up? He is less relevant then UK royals and I hear almost nothing about them in american media.

    It’s like hey Biden being cute in the Whitehouse was fun, should we have elected him president? No! This is that same bullshit
