Imagine going from crack with hookers to being advisor to the president. Like he's obviously a stooge but still what an insane pivot

[–] NapoleonBlownApart@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Really makes you think about all that Ukraine/Biden stuff...

Okay hear me out: What if we just go back to monarchy in order to stop Trump

The United States is also ran by a mad king but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.

This sounds like the kind of shit they make up about Kim Jong Un or Putin, except it's actually happening

The democrats are just working on their new strategy of turning biden into trump. First they had him argue about his golf game in a Presidential debate, then they oranged him up, then they had him call into morning shows to rustle around papers and stumble through reading pre-written garbage. Now they're just doing the best with what they've got because the dang Supreme Court went and made Presidents untouchable so it's impossible to make Biden a felon and the next best thing they can do is get Hunter, famous crackhead and felon, as close to the President as possible.

The press is also avoiding covering our robust crowds at campaign events. Joe mentioned this on morning Joe yesterday!

The failing New York Times wants you to think we have small crowds because they are fake news

possum-party damn i love when dems do cover albums, those original republican tracks don't hit as hard

Even if Biden was functional, this is such a terrible move. Hunter is a story that tugs at the heartstrings of voters if kept at a distance, and the biggest political liability any president could have if given power.

Even setting everything else aside, and I realize that includes an actual genocide, how are you so fucking bad at politics somebody didn't tell hunter to rent a cabin in Montana and never come back weeks ago.

Hunter being in the inner circle would (correctly) be a big story on its own but there's three other bigger fuckups sucking the oxygen out of the room.

It’s very clear that Hunter’s role is to reassure the bourgeois donor class that even if Biden has become a vegetable, he will be there to make sure that the promises of the Bidens will be fulfilled.

The donor class isn’t afraid of Biden losing, they’re worried about whether Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity will jeopardize Project Ukraine, a multi-billion dollar investment scheme of the Democratic Party, and Hunter is the central figure in this scheme.

Now you understand why Trump was indicted in 2019 when he threatened to withhold a $400 million foreign aid to the newly elected Zelensky unless he exposes Hunter’s role in Ukraine, and why the Republicans are so obsessed with crucifying Hunter Biden.

So why the fuck isn't he telling his dad to decriminalize all drugs. Imagine being a crack smoker and the presidents son but not doing that.

[–] Sleve_McDichael@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

It’s already legal for him and his friends, I don’t think he cares if it’s legal for non-failsons

[–] neera_tanden@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I won’t let that happen. I’ll call the cops on him if he suggests legalizing anything

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Holy shit he's literally just Grima Wormtongue

Fuck it, time to repost it:

Mrs. Tanden come work for hexbear!

On bidens deathbed he says “I want her to be president after me,” referring to his son Hunter, which Jill interprets as herself and Kamala interprets as herself. The two queens go to war, the blues vs the blacks, and the dance of Dan Quinn’s begins.

Hunter Biden, Failson, Whitehouse Advisor

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

brump, except Hunter is somehow more embarrassing than any of Trump's children.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Tbh allowing hunter in the white house is grounds for impeachment

Unrelated, but here's a 2011 video from the Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden about stopping elder abuse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL6QJNM6z0U
