    January 6th is a nothing burger we should move on from, but this is a big story that we should be paying close attention to?

    Addiction can be so tough. Whatever is the truth about this story, I bet there have been many hard times with Hunter. Hopefully, there’s light at the end of that tunnel.

    I do have a tremendous amount of empathy for Joe Biden. He lost his first wife and one year old daughter in a car crash in 1972. Then his son Beau from his first wife also died of cancer. Hunter is the only thing left of his first marriage to Neilla Hunter, which is where his son got his first name. Burying two children and one wife has to be pretty tough.

    It is "whataboutism" the difference being that in the case of the former president his son-in-law was actually in a position in which he could influence policy during which time he did receive a huge (estimated $100 million) benefit which may have been directly related to his position. There is also the real possibility that the administration of the former president did change its position with Qatar after Jared's company received its bailout. There is no substantive evidence that Hunter actually influenced policy even if he tried to create the illusion that he was able to do so.

    Because no one will look into it for fear of what they may uncover. You know it.

    Hunter has been investigated by the right-wing media for at least the last five years and most of the accusations have been unfounded. The most recent one that comes immediately to mind concerned Hunter's relationship with the Chinese businessman which took place in 2018. If I recall Joe Biden wasn't in a position to have any influence in the government at the time. In 2017 and 2018 the Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress, they were free to investigate Hunter but elected not to do so, maybe because they knew they wouldn't find anything.

    Well, Twitter-verse and 4chan has become a mud-slinging fest — delete iCloud.

    That doesn't excuse him from a lifetime of inconsistent viewpoints and about-face politics.

    1. Abortion: Biden used to pride himself on a “middle of the road” approach, supporting the pro-choice movement but maintaining that Roe v. Wade went too far. He also supported the Hyde amendment, which prevents federal funding for abortion, and voted to ban partial-birth abortions. He even voted to allow states to overturn Roe. Recently, however, Biden reversed his position on the Hyde amendment, and condemned efforts by states like Alabama to overturn Roe.

    2. Iraq War: Biden voted against the Gulf War in 1991, but voted in favor of the Iraq War in 2002. Like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, Biden regretted that vote later. Rather than backing a U.S. troop “surge” — which ultimately worked — Biden’s proposed alternative for Iraq was to partition the country into separate religious enclaves.

    3. Immigration: As recently as 2006, Biden told Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball that the U.S. should not grant “amnesty” to illegal aliens in the country, and that aspiring immigrants ought to be required to learn English. He also voted for a border fence — and told voters that he was proud of it. All of these positions are now broadly described as “racist” by Democrats, and Biden has revised his positions on amnesty (it is unclear where he stands on a border wall).

    4. Women: Biden has taken criticism from Anita Hill and other women about how he treated her during the 1991 confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Though he said privately at the time that he believed she was lying, he has now tried to make amends. Biden is also trying to change a pattern of behavior in which he touched, kissed, or sniffed women at public events — unacceptable conduct in the post-#MeToo era.

    5. Desegregation: Early in his Senate career, Biden opposed “busing” to integrate schools. Biden also worked closely with Senators who opposed civil rights and delivered a eulogy for former segregationist Strom Thurmond. His initial comments on Barack Obama’s campaign were tinged with racial condescension. Later, as vice president, he warned black voters Republicans would “put y’all back in chains.” Now he is running as a uniter, casting Trump as a racist.

    6. Guns. In 1986, Biden voted with the National Rifle Association (NRA) on a bill called the “Firearms Owners’ Protection Act (FOPA),” which the Second Amendment lobby calls “the law that saved gun rights” because it rolled back onerous regulations. As NBC News notes, Biden was key to the law’s passage. In the 1990s, however, Biden began backing aggressive gun control laws. (He still offers bizarre advice on the use of shotguns for self-defense).
    7. Drugs: As Politico noted recently, Biden was one of the leaders of the war on drugs — which he now says went too far. His policies on crack led to racial disparities in sentencing; other legislation he pushed has made it harder to treat opioid addiction, or to report overdoses. The Free Beacon notes that Biden used to call marijuana a “gateway drug,” but shifted suddenly toward backing “decriminalization” — just days before a fundraiser with a pro-legalization donor.

    8. Gay marriage: In 1996, Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibited federal recognition of same-sex marriages. Later in 2012, he shifted positions, in effect forcing President Obama to do the same (though many suspected Obama already backed same-sex marriage despite his public opposition and support for a traditional Christian view.) Biden now says that the movement for transgender rights is the “civil rights issue of our time.”

    And as far as any real impact is concerned both are completely irrelevant raising the question why do these threads on Hunter Biden keeping popping up or maybe more significantly why is Rupert Murdoch's NY tabloid so obsessed with Hunter?

    Some things are more important than politics. Regardless of what the person‘s political viewpoints are, my heart goes out to anyone who had to bury a spouse or especially a child.

    As an aside, a lot of my Irish ancestors are buried in the same cemetery as Joe’s family. His home church was that side of my family‘s home church going back to the 1840s when they came from Ireland.
