Hunter Biden drama assured to hang over Joe Biden's 2024 campaign with special counsel

Red_October, 10 months ago

Nobody who is swayed by the charges against Biden’s son, without seriously being swayed by the charges against Trump Himself, was actually swayed by the charges.

Is this headline a typo? Hunter is not Joe. It’s two different people!

I like candidates who aren’t charged under the Espionage Act.

Hmm so it’s a choice between the guy whose son didn’t pay his taxes on time and bought a gun when he wasn’t supposed to vs. the guy who is currently indicted in 3 soon to be 4 instances of among other things compromising classified documents and working to overthrow the government he happened to be leading at the time.

Going to be a real tough choice.

Add to it the gun law was declared unconstitutional by the fifth circuit Court of appeals recently, it’s likely the only charges he’ll be facing are tax related. It’s funny because the gun charge was the only thing holding back his plea deal.

Shouldn’t the conservatives all be rushing to Hunter’s defense on the gun thing? What happened to the Second Amendment worship?

Going to be a real tough choice.

For millions of extremely stupid people, it will be.

Oh no, not a tough choice. For millions of stupid people, they’re going to vote for Trump no matter what

They will clutch on to any culture war. It’s pretty sad this is really the only ammo they have against Biden.

Hunter Biden "drama" (lol). It's almost as realistic as professional wrestling.

TropicalDingdong, 10 months ago

Lol

Or you can pretend this shit gonna hang, but it will be a bigger issue for repubs.

Counterpoint, it won’t “hang over” Joe’s reelection bid because he’s not the one on trial. The article even quotes someone pointing out that voters don’t care about guilt by association in a situation like this.

I dunno about you, but I’m certainly not voting for Hunter Biden in 2024.

Honestly, if he was running and I had the right to vote, I would probably vote for him over the two other guys. And I don't have a problem with his father.

this is a bit inaccurate. The guy saying it’s a problem for biden is a republican(as in… former ethics advisor to W.)

Biden’s son’s criminal issues won’t sway democrats or swing voters away. because most people are seeing the lengths they’re going… and so far the only evidence they have on things is decades-old-crimes that most rich people would have just had to pay a bribe to get out of.

republicans are stupid enough think this whataboutism- the vast majority of which wouldn’t stand up in any semi-legitimate courtroom anyhow- is enough to save trump. and it’s simply not.

Too bad the court of public opinion is not semi-legitimate. They're grasping for straws (her emails 2.0), but people are dumb enough that it works.

Trump raped children and undermined democracy? Well, (a) Biden tok drugs and avoided taxes!

I don't know what is wrong with people, but somehow it seems to work perfectly on half the population.

FuglyDuck, 10 months ago

take solace in knowing that it’s not actually half the population.

a fair number are just straight up assholes. Like the Koch family. who find it’s more cost effective to buy off legislators (and trump,) to deregulate than it is to not fucking pollute the world. Or, that pastor who just got bought off by DeSantis for votes, that are actively telling their people to vote for him in iowa. for about 90k?
