    I get the appeal of this emotionally, but why does anyone listen to Hunter Biden? I see conservatives started glazing him in weird ways too and it’s just strange because I thought everyone hated both his dad and the idea of families in politics

      Are people though?

      I don’t take what he says as gospel just entertainment.

      And it’s pretty fun watching him have fun trolling those bastards.

      Why does it matter?

      He was given a platform by the GOP when they dragged him through the mud for checks notes struggling with addiction.

      It probably started as a therapeutic way for him to take back control of the narrative surrounding his own life and his sobriety journey when he broke his silence a few months ago. Addiction is a mother fucker, having gone through it myself, so I support him and am proud of him.

      Everything else is just putting into context how ridiculous U.S. politics is these days. The poor guy just wanted to actually speak for himself, after years and years of having his name dragged through the mud. He didn’t ask for Donald Dump to make his life an open book, but he’s having fun with it now, and I’m here for it.

      Plus, thanks to the GOP, it’s confirmed he’s packing a massive shlong. And I love that for him.

        Probably because treating politics like wrestling is how we got in this shit show, especially because peeps tend to overlook these personality’s baggage just because they can deliver sick owns to the enemy.

        But you’re right. This shit is so far gone from reasonable reality that it probably doesn’t matter anymore

      Republicans gave him a platform when they wouldn’t stop glazing his hog so he might as well use it.

      I’m fine with it. Trump’s criminal whelps screamed about Hunter’s failed attempts at getting a lucrative gig, and now they’re stealing America blind. Hunters criticism stings much harder than anyone else’s.

      Republicans can’t govern. They can only peddle scandal.

      Hunter is having fun turning this back on them.
