On one hand it is quite funny how Hunter just couldn’t handle the family obligation to be a cruel killing machine (literally or metaphorically) in order to advance his and his family’s political career, so he became a drugs & party dude.
On the other hand, it is terrible how Hunter just gets to do whatever and the worst consequence for him is that he goes to a cool island resort where they help him with his drug habit, but normal people will absolutely be brutalized by the state for doing 5% of what Hunter is doing and the person who passed all the laws that brutalize people for it is Joe fucking Biden.
If partying hard is a crime then throw me in jail.
Also reactionaries really need to give this “disaster for dad Joe’s campaign” shit a fucking rest already. There’s a very long list of legitimate criticisms that people have of Genocide Joe, and his son dropping a mil on hookers and blow is not anywhere close to the top of it.
I’m not opposed to this perspective but Joe fuckin Biden is the guy who wrote the '94 crime bill. He argued in the Senate to put motherfuckers in prison for renting warehouses to ravers. This man’s son does more drugs than most of the people in prison from his bill, and yet he’s not in prison. It’s absolutely ripe political fodder for attacking him, there’s no reasonable argument for his kid not being affected by his awful policies other than he knows they’re awful and he doesn’t want his son affected by them. He should be attacked for this shit, it should be a normal way to criticize him. If his kid shouldn’t be in prison for the obvious, well documented crimes he does, why should anybody elses?
