No. Hunter Biden was never an elected official. He was not installed in the White House as a a "senior advisor" along with his spouse. This hysteria about Hunter is a simple minded deflection from the horrible things that Ivanka and Jared did while in the White House because of nepotism. And that sort of high-level chicanery is absolutely unrelated to anyone's pearl-clutching about Biden's son.

I idea that they personally made more than half a BILLION dollars while installed as their daddy's help may not raise an eyebrow now, but it absolutely should.

Just how dirty are Joe & Hunter ?  Here's the deets on their infamous escapade in Ukraine, from William Shipley aka Shipwreckedcrew  — " a "Retired" AUSA 22+ years, last 8 as a criminal defense attorney".

The full text of the tweet...

Three thoughts this morning:

1) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last year will go down in history as one of the biggest fuckups & biggest miscalculations ever made by a major figure on the world’s stage.

2) Joe Biden’s response to Putin’s invasion, Biden’s strong defense of Ukraine, and Biden’s leadership in assembling a unified worldwide coalition to stand WITH Ukraine and stand AGAINST Russia will go down in history as one of the greatest defenses of freedom & sovereignty ever put together on the world’s stage.

3) The world is so fortunate Trump lost in 2020.


Maybe the old man was up to it after all?

Kurt, that crap about Joe pushing to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired because he was supposedly investigating Burisma too hard is still crap. It was debunked a long time ago.

When you regurgitate BS like this you really damage your credibility. It really does feel like Whac-a-mole with you.

You know... you talk about the damage that all of the drugs coming across the southern do to families and then appear to have absolutely zero empathy for the train wreck that is Hunter Biden.  He's a total mess.  He is a series of bad decisions.  Instead of acknowledging his situation and appreciating how difficult it must be on everyone around him, he became the centerpiece of a series of attacks on Joe.

What are the chances that a drug addict with a powerful father uses him as leverage to get money, drugs, or whatever?  Pretty high?  That doesn't mean that Joe knows when he's doing it, and it certainly doesn't mean Joe's involved.  Just because Hunter says "make sure we save XX% for the big guy" doesn't mean his father had anything to do with it.  It's probably a way for Hunter to get a bit extra out of people for his own purposes.  I assume you can appreciate this, but acknowledging that would limit the damage that you can do to Joe... even if it's not correct.

*If you know any families who have been through drug addiction, then you know that the parents rarely know what's going on.  Instead of seeing Burisma as a way to make money, it's quite possible that Joe thought "Finally something to make him clean up his act".  Joe Biden's history suggests that he's an emotional and caring person.  He doesn't have a history of screwing people over for money and blaming them for everything.  He's the antithesis of our last President.  

To date, there is no real evidence of Joe's involvement other than to try to help his troubled son.  Using Hunter for political gain is cruel, and yet another thing that will likely come back to bite the Republicans in the ass on election day.    Time will tell.
 
Ah, Hunter is a victim, not a bad guy.  Check.

And you'll still defend Joe's statements that he never had any knowledge or interactions with Hunter's business affairs.

You're right... I could probably add a link, but honestly, since you can see the links in the HTML editor I generally forget.

A text from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao revealed during an IRS agent's whistleblower testimony today. 

Hunter Biden sent a WhatsApp message demanding payment from a Chinese businessman while he was 'sitting with his father' Joe, according to bombshell testimony from an IRS whistleblower

I refer to more sites than WaPo and NYT but they are generally reliable and do re-examine their articles when confronted with oversights, inaccuracies, etc.

Interesting.  Their international polling started in 2005.  Thought that they were strictly domestic.  It is obviously an over simplified general over view of opinions.  It would be nice to see the questions posed.  I did look into their methodology but specifics were not mentioned.
Regarding the bolded ... are you referring to this ?

If so, please read the chain again.  I was scurrilously accused of deliberately passing russian (sic) disinformation.  I addressed that and then islander wanted me to address something else he brought up, something separate from what he accused me of.  So I in so many words to him to eff off and find it himself.

The world disagrees with you.  You'll note that the Obama years are marked by his being the highest globally-rated leader, followed by the Trump era when we mixed it up at Xi and Putin levels, while Angela Merkel becomes the true global leader.  Biden returns, looks to restore alliances, and the trust in the US goes up significantly.  It's important to note that the 45 below is 4 points lower than the high for the year, reflective of the Afghanistan pullout.

You can respond with some sort of foolish "the world respected Trump and not Biden", that Joe's being played, etc, but that's just inaccurate.  Trump was a disaster.   He didn't get us into a war for 2 reasons: He's a typical bully who at a critical moment will flinch and run, but more importantly, he lost in 2020.  If he'd have been in charge during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, who knows what would have happened?  Any suggestion that Putin would have stayed away is misguided.  He was planning the invasion for years (during Trump's administration).
