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

    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.

    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.

    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.
