    Rare good thing from the US. Gotta be honest I do not understand the ironic adoration of Hunter Biden by the online US left at all. He's a terrible person that deserves to go to jail. From dodgy prostitution scandals, taking advantage of women, to corruption in Ukraine (which is very suspicious in hindsight given the Ukraine war and all the money that is exchanging hands currently).

            (we need a macro or bot for the comrade Trump pasta):

            Folks, the bourgeois, they're no good, more and more people are saying it. All these workers— the biggest, we have the biggest workers— very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they're right. These bourgeois are very nasty people, very very rude, and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me every day and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction, believe me. The means of production, Obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I'm seizing them. Landlords? They're done for folks. Everyone told me— they said, Comrade Trump you won't be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess who's laughing now?

        It doesn't really seem like he's actually ruined all that many lives. None of the pedophilia or sexual abuse accusations seem to be true afaict (Republicans made up a lot of stuff about what was on that laptop). The prostitution scandal seems to just him paying prostitutes with stolen money, not about harming people. His previous partners also seem to mostly describe parting "amicably". In terms of corruption, that money probably would be gone anyway. It's kind of hard to quantify the harm he did in Ukraine. His own life really seems to be the only one "ruined".

        He had sex with some of his employees, which is bad, but I'm not sure it's "life ruining". The power dynamic means they can't really consent, but also nobody has brought any charges against him related to that. The prostitutes across state lines thing is illegal (and technically trafficking), but also they were already prostitutes and they went across state lines voluntarily (and no charges were filed).

        Endangering other people, that might hold more weight. There's that other comment about him speeding while smoking crack, and there might well be more stuff, but still.

          That’s not completely true because I’m pretty sure the laptop had a video of him speeding in a sports car while actively smoking crack. If he had hit someone they’d definitely be dead.

      The ironic adoration comes from the fact that liberals cover their ears and eyes completely to Hunter. He is completely off limits to speak of. They want you to believe that a high ranking politician’s kid who has no experience with anything suddenly has qualifications for managing an oil company in a foreign country and that his prostitutes and crack smoking are private affairs while prosecuting anyone who doesn’t have a rich daddy for the same crimes

      It also comes from conservatives not giving a shit about any of that and just scream “HUNTER HAD SEX AND SCAMMED A BUNCH OF BUSINESSMEN”

        Also I've always felt like conservatives are almost holding water for Hunter. They focus entirely on his laptop and suggestions that Hunter was part of a Satanic pedophile murder orgy. The reality is much more boring. Hunter's just some rich idiot from an influencial family. His dad is famous and powerful. So that creates the type of person who Hunter is, someone who will indulge in excesses and never face real consequences until this exact moment.

        He smokes crack and frequents prostitutes. He got a bunch of jobs he wasn't qualified for. Nepotism can't be the answer, instead it's a weird shock thing for conservatives about pictures of his dick or vague suggestions about murdering kids or whatever.

      I'll be honest I haven't really kept up with the Hunter drama much. I knew about all the foreign companies that kept giving him BS "consultant jobs", and about the lying on a gun form thing, and doing tons of meth and hanging out with sex workers, but beyond that I really don't have any solid deets about his antics. I mean anyone that rich is going to be a piece of shit but I haven't heard anything beyond typical party-boy failson shit.

        I actually think he does.

        Academically, he was incredibly dumb. He's not nearly as rich as any of his contemporaries that have served for decades, he needed a loan from Obama to pay for his son's medical bills; the obvious implication being, he doesn't accept 'lobbying' the way his colleagues do. He's constantly talking about unity and was always reaching across the isle...

        I think he may actually believe in all the garbage he preaches, while being clinically unaware of how stupid he is for it.

        Joe Biden doesn't have the conviction and integrity of Joe Stalin.

        When Vasily Stalin got captured by Nazis, Joe was like "Yeah if you want to do a prisoner exchange, I'll trade him for a regular German soldier, you're not getting an officer for my idiot son"

          This was also why the Republicans were so insistent on crucifying Hunter, because he was a prominent link between Biden and Ukraine - an operation that the Republicans are left out of.

          While I appreciate that there are factions within the US imperial elite, I think you greatly underestimate the extent to which republican interests and donors benefit from project ukraine. The defence and lng majors have benefitted the most from the most maximal aspects of the project (provoking hot war, sabotaging any peace process and blowing up Nordstream). Are you really trying to say that there is no connection between the defence industry and the republican donor base? If so, where is the peace wing of the republican party? There isn't one. They just do stupid rhetoric where they would have done project ukraine so that they would have won. I'm sure that around the margins there would be different firms and individuals that are the biggest beneficiaries, but it's naive and reductive to say that the GOP donor class is "left out".

    Sure is nice to be pro gun and not a fascists so I can say without hypocrisy this is bullshit but also fuck hunter.

    The vast majority of gun owners I know told the exact same lie on the exact same form. The difference is the vast majority of those people are currently cheering about justice being served.

    It really is hilarious to see the party of personal liberties that is against literally any form of reasonable gun co trol cheer for somebody being forced to self incriminate to get their 2nd ammendment rights taken away, while being part of a death cult for the guy who said "take away the guns first, worry about due process later".

    It can not be over emphasized how much these people believe in literally nothing and could not be bigger hypocrites if they were trying.

    Also I know pointing out the hypocrisy is pointless.

        That's why I said I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn't matter but on the same side of the coin them believing it's the dems who are being hypocritical also doesn't really matter. They're wrong (in this one specific instance, not saying libs aren't hypocrites) and objective reality is still a thing.

        The whole "yea well chuds think it's hypocritical" is why pointing it out doesn't matter in the firstbplace but we shouldn't cede the fact they are wrong, full of shit, and they're the ones being hypocrites.

        We should all understand shameless hypocrisy is the cornerstone of their entire worldview but we shouldn't act like that makes their beliefs any less horrendous.

          They did but crypto bros bought it for 4 million dollars. They promised to turn it into an NFT and put it on the metaverse. They had a promo video and it’s this lanky nerdy white guy being escorted by rugged looking ‘bodyguards’. He plays the album through headphones (you don’t get to hear the song) and he just starts gushing while everyone stares at him silence
