Hunter is going upstream for a long time sweetie.

        I actually think he does.

        Academically, he was incredibly dumb. He’s not nearly as rich as any of his contemporaries that have served for decades, he needed a loan from Obama to pay for his son’s medical bills; the obvious implication being, he doesn’t accept ‘lobbying’ the way his colleagues do. He’s constantly talking about unity and was always reaching across the isle…

        I think he may actually believe in all the garbage he preaches, while being clinically unaware of how stupid he is for it.

        It’s not a game, it’s a cult. And Biden is the High Priest of that cult.

        They only interfered for Hunter Biden because there was a serious chance of him exposing and screwing up the entire Democratic money laundering operation in Ukraine.

        This was also why the Republicans were so insistent on crucifying Hunter, because he was a prominent link between Biden and Ukraine - an operation that the Republicans are left out of.

        Returning the favor, the Democrats charged Trump to force the Republicans to back off from the Biden-Ukraine case, which had led to a stalemate for both sides. But now, to defend Biden’s deteriorating poll numbers and potentially losing against Trump, the Democrats pressed forward with Trump’s conviction.

        The Republicans are now just responding in kind, but both sides understand that Joe Biden is willing to sacrifice Hunter to save his own electoral campaign.

    Rare good thing from the US. Gotta be honest I do not understand the ironic adoration of Hunter Biden by the online US left at all. He’s a terrible person that deserves to go to jail. From dodgy prostitution scandals, taking advantage of women, to corruption in Ukraine (which is very suspicious in hindsight given the Ukraine war and all the money that is exchanging hands currently).

    So was the laptop thing real? I assumed it wasn’t because I only ever heard QAnon types screaming about it. But that was when I was still in lib land.
