This was very interesting. Here's the guy in the flesh that we've mostly only heard soundbites about.



He's written a book putting everything out in the open, or at least as out in the open as a person admitting to all their crack cocaine use can.

Oddly enough, he truly doesn't know if that is his laptop or not.

Compared to Donny Jr, Hunter Biden is pretty classy at the moment.

He claims not to know.

I don't really see the point of making a comparison, but seriously?

(No fan of Don Jr, but "pretty classy" isn't the sort of adjective that springs to mind with regard to Hunter Biden.)
 
I find the fascination with politician's family members pretty gross.

One of the supposed benefits of a Biden admin is that he isn't staffing up the place with his dimwitted spawn like Trump did. There's no reason why the public should have to be familiar with these children of powerful people.

If I never have to hear about the failson Hunter ever again, that would be swell.

Well good luck with that. He's not exactly shying away from the media attention either. He's got a book out and he's doing a media tour (morning TV shows, late night shows). I think the only reason anyone cares is because he's the president's son. I am personally not a fan. I think he has used the fact that his father is a powerful politician to profit for himself. The Burisma thing, for one. Selling his family connection. They paid him something like $80,000 per month for that. Some other dubious business ventures. Now he's selling a book that nobody would buy if his name wasn't Biden.

To be fair the right wing media aired all his dirty laundry out nationally. That his father is a powerful politician has done him plenty of harm as well.

Yeah, that goes against everything America holds dear. Especially the GOP.

Seems that liberals are going for the over-correction.

You're right that it's pretty laughable to hear the GOP complain about a politician's son cashing in on his proximity to power. It was a pretty lame attack considering their own comfort with corruption, and it notably failed to make much of a splash outside of very right wing media. It certainly wasn't a scandal that seemed to hurt papa Biden much.

That doesn't mean libs have to pretend he's some great guy. He's a failson cashing in on the power of his politician father, there's nothing admirable about that. He's scum, but I guess libs need to pretend he's someone they should care about.

Well he made some mistakes and I wish him the best in his recovery. That’s the extent of my thoughts on him.

I view it more that they are just being more open about all his issues. It is harder to gain political traction with accusations of nefarious things when that person has already written them up in a book and is discussing it on TV. They can't exactly be accused of brushing this under the carpet.

This preempts some of the criticism and rumors. That has political value.

Without the GOP attacks he would not have a book deal. He is drinking their tears and they are crying about it.

Who wants to read this dreck? I suppose there's vicarious enjoyment. Inside us all in the desire to smoke crack and **** prostitutes all paid for by a do-nothing job handed to us thanks to our last name.

I have no interest, either. But, the GOP picked him out and made him significant. He was just a recovering addict until they decided that he was interesting. And now, some think he is interesting. Ka-ching!

He should really go on Fox News and thank them for his newfound celebrity status and this book deal in particular.

The right wing media is actually the direct reason he has the fame to cash in. If it wasn't for that, he'd be as interesting as Chelsea Clinton with a drug habit.

There already exists a Roger Clinton.

I'm not sure liberals care at all. I'm not saying he's a good guy. But that doesn't make him scum either. It means I don't know and I don't care.
