      Why is he a piece of shit? Seems he’s a middlingly-successful lawyer who had an addiction problem, just like tens of millions of other people. Being an addict doesn’t make you a bad person, just like having the flu doesn’t.

        I don’t even know that he had an addiction problem. He had a doing cocaine and getting caught by a bunch of hypocritical cunts problem. He also had a having a big dick and getting it photographed and spread on the Internet by Marjorie Taylor Green problem. None of that amounts to an actual drug or sex addiction problem other than a bunch of shitty Republicans made his private life public. by any other standard, the guy just knows how to have a good time. And nothing pisses off Republicans more than another person enjoying themselves.

        I firmly believe that those who can use drugs responsibly should be allowed to do so, regardless of any stupid antiquated laws. just because some Republicans have some ridiculously hypocritical and outrageously outmoded belief that imbibing any chemical, other than water is some horrific weakness doesn’t mean that any other person, particularly rational people, should agree with it. Nor should anyone hold the same standard just because some crazy fascists want to use it as fuel for a character, assassination and impeachment of his father.

          Pretty sure it’s full on addiction. I remember the “bombshell” voice-mail fox got to smear Joe Biden. It was so poignant and humanizing they dropped that shit quickly cause it made the Biden’s look good.

      The only people that say Hunter, Biden is a piece of shit are the Republicans, and I am not inclined to believe them. Just because the guy did cocaine and owned a gun is not reason enough for me to condemn him. cocaine is awesome, and while I don’t particularly care for guns, he didn’t shoot anyone with it. Yes, he should not have been in possession of it. At the time he was, and he should face reasonable consequences for breaking the law, but what he is being put through now is ridiculous and outrageous.

      And if he has a drug abuse problem, he should get treatment for it. But none of this equates to him being some kind of piece of shit or scumbag in my eyes. Just a mildly interesting guy who also happens to be the son of the president of United States, and as a result of that, the target of an outrageous, GOP witchhunt , for no other reason, then to discredit his father.
