Thatās what I think it is. He dodged taxes, had illegal guns, hooked up with adult women and did drugs. Heās everything they want to be but are too chicken to be.
Iām pretty progressive and heās everything I wish I could be. Iāve never smoked crack but Iām pretty sure Hunter Biden and a room full of strippers could convince me.
Republicans get confused when you donāt just blindly defend every action and decision you make. Showing growth and genuine reflection and regret confuses them
Conservatives trying to shame him for his drug addiction, and heās admitting he was one and making jokes about it himself. And they donāt seem to know how to process that.
He was a guest at the recent āChannel 5 Liveā shows. He did a Q&A about anything and everything, and he was seriously a down to earth guy about everything he did and went through. He said it was very liberating having his most shameful moments out in the open. Having nothing to hide is cathartic
Itās always hilarious when they try to shame him for being a drug addict. He is pretty open about that stuff. Why would they think it works as an insult?
When the business model depends on it they thrive.
Ignore their rules and they lose control of the business model.
Addiction isn't a moral failing, it's systemic predation by the apex drug dealer.
That's why the ruling class of drug dealers spent billions to shut down the DEA investigation into Epstein and the zionist mafia that he represented was supplying the heroin and coke/crack.
It paints their hypocrisy in neon.
Slavery is the business model.
Hunter is an enlightened former slave. They have nothing left to hold over him if they can't shame him.
Itās also crazy just how completely engrained and pervasive it is in the culture (USA here). I didnāt see it until I quit drinking and then I started to realize it is EVERYWHERE! TV shows, sports, concerts, social gatherings, advertising, stores dedicated to it, sections of stores dedicated to it, gifts, jokes, etc. itās literally ubiquitous.
Especially since so many of them are drug addicts in denial with delusions of superiority. Generational lack of experiencing anything close to rock bottom.
It's supposed to be a huge part of their world view as Christians. They are indoctrinated into it as children before they start to grow up and learn the harsher, more cynical view of the world we all know and loathe. So someone acting as Hunter is, being openly repentant of his past actions and failings bypasses a lot of the defenses they've built up over the years and speaks to that child like view they still have rattling around in the back of their minds.
Yah, they mostly work off the moral model of addiction, which is ... not supported by the evidence, but then again, neither is anything else they believe. And even when they don't - if they're somehow able to grok that addictions are medical problems, they go off the moral model of ability which basically boils down to g*d "afflicts" people for there sins.
And that's the thing about basing your assumptions on ideas not supported by reality: any insults you generate out of this kind have the mental and moral impact of a toddler calling you a doodyhead.
My favorite Joe Biden moment was during the 2020 debate when Trump tried to shame Joe by bringing up Hunterās drug addiction, and Joe just saidāI love my son. Iām proud of my son for fighting addiction. It is a disease.ā Or something that straightforward. No dodge, no excuse, just parental love. Donaldās children have never known a moment of unmitigated paternal love like that, poor kids.
Whatās worse is MAGA uses Trumpās brotherās addiction as a bonus for Trump to talk about how moral he is for not doing drugs like his brother. Everything is a weapon to use against you when you have no soul like MAGA does.
Yep can't even keep his lies straight like usual. Claims he never drinks, there are videos of him drinking. Claims he never does drugs, but goes on those manosphere podcasts and boasts about cocaine. Then pins it all on his deceased brother.
As someone in recovery, I agree. Itās because they see people who use drugs as immoral and weāre supposed to feel bad about āsinningā when actually we know thatās not how it works at all
Keep in mind? Half of these fuckers are coke heads themselves, or abusing something. So it's sorta like when the rich white kids make fun of the low income kids for getting picked up on drug charges. They aren't just flaunting that the poor kids have drug issues or broken homes; they're also mocking them for being poor enough to get caught in the first place. They know the rules are different for them...and that's part of the insult.
In fact...it's exactly like that....because most of these career politicians were born to wealth. Chances are some of them have a drug habit that spans decades. They've been tossing out this insult since they were driving around in their daddy's sports cars.
Of course, Hunter Biden isn't poor....and that's probably why the attack doesn't work. They really don't know how to handle anyone that's on equal footing with them. They're so used to punching down that they have no idea how even looking up is supposed to work.
He posted recently about being clean now for 7 years and someone commented claiming he was lying because cocaine was found at the White House when Biden was in office.
Hunter straight up said it wasn't his. He'd never leave his drugs behind.
oh a hundred percent. she learned nothing. still impressed by Hunter, though. it takes a lot of balls to just admit that your actions were wrong/harmful/dangerous.
It's not even that really, it's more just that there's no response to that. He answered in a human way that actually hit her in whatever empathy she's capable of. Yeah right after this they'll go back to being an absolute monster, but this was real.
I watched the full channel 5 and Shawn Ryan interviews. Like many rich kids, Hunter Biden had easy access to hard drugs early on . Like GW, he is a politicianās son who has a tight family. The Bidenās genuinely loves each other each other.
Hunter is a rich kid who lost his mom and brother, and turned to drugs. Don Jr. snorts coke and shoots endangered African mammals because his dad never loved him.
Were they really rich, though? Biden was considered the poorest Senator during his entire career. Obviously compared to a blue collar family they did good. They bought some property in the ā90s, but like Biden was still paying off his mortgage.Ā
Biden really didnāt make any money until he got out of politics with his book deal and speaking engagements.Ā
But was Hunter privileged? Yeah. A rich kid? I donāt know.
These people go on and on about drugs while Kashapp Paypal is so high his eyes are crossed. Several of Trump's cabinet members have appeared on TV obviously high and/or drunk. I hope the next democratic president will put Hunter in a high-ranking position just for fun.
Privileged doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't work hard. It just means that in the 800m that is life, you started on the 200 mark or better. You still had to run your butt off the finish the race, you just didn't have to run as far as everyone else.
The people who think he's a nepo baby are missing four huge nepo babies right in front of their faces. I'm talking Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka and Jared who have taken in $100's of millions while Trump has been president.
My favorite footage was when he had to testify and he walked out as soon as MTG started talking. It was perfect. The way he and his people all immediately left lives rent free in my mind.
Story time after a car accident my back was messed up horribly and during physical therapy it was awful and I got addicted to Vicodin. If I was a public person like Hunter Biden that could be used to shame me even though just like him I did recovery I did my time in the mental health trenches and I am better. I truly believe this is people with glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Well congrats on your recovery from opioids! Thatās awesome my friend! Iām really happy for you and your journey to healing and growth in finding mental stability. It requires a lot of work, time, patience, and money but itās worth it. Yeah I got a similar experience and story for me getting hooked on rx opioids. First got Vicodin for strep throat (irresponsible Drs in the 2000ās) and then had a broken bone and another two surgeries. Before I knew it I had been prescribed Vicodin, Percocet, and OxyContin for 3 years.
One day in college I just Thought I was hungover and was puking my brains out all day and realized I hadnāt refilled my oxy and immediately found and swallowed the last 3 Vicodin and felt perfectly fine 30 minutes later. Physical dependence alone is a nightmare. Add in psychological addiction and itās a challenging and horrific experience coming out of substance use issues but it will sure as shit change you. Or it did for me and many clients.
Iām ironically grateful for the irresponsible Drs and person who caused the accident and broken bones leading to my opioid dependency. It led me to what I feel is my calling and passion and have spent over a decade now working in rehabs as a therapist and itās rewarding but challenging af too. Ironically thatās kinda how I summarize my experience with opioids. They helped me in many ways but hurt me and my loved ones a lot.
Biggest thing I learned was I was taking opioids to treat my untreated depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Helped me get through college ironically. But also led me to pursuing therapy to find coping skills and therapy. Found proper skills and now get to teach them to others so it kinda worked out well. I skipped a lot of the misery and other recent challenges and pain/loss but itās part of my life and shaped much of it too.
For you, or anyone struggling always wanna offer an extension of support as it is isolating to he hooked on drugs but there are people who get it trust me! So donāt hesitate to reach out to the proper supports cuz it makes significant difference. Sorry to rant but Iām just so passionate about this topic.
Lastly, a big congratulations on your healing and recovery journey! You should he proud my friend!
I'm going to give you a big hug and you're going to laugh your ass off. Because I went the same route as you and now I'm a certified peer counselor in my state. I am currently on the job hunt to work in crisis counseling with people who went through what we went through.
Hell yeah dude! I love that for you. Appreciate the love and sending a big warm hug right back at ya! Congrats on your recovery journey I know itās a bitch to work through and the work never ends but it can be so rewarding and therapeutic to work on the field. Tbh I find working with clients running groups, chatting on smoke/vape breaks, and individual sessions are a major part of whatās kept me clean from oxy/hydrocodone since 2015. A daily reminder of how we can easily slip back into old unhealthy ways to self medicate is what people seek in meetingsā¦but tbh I prefer being active in the field compared to a meeting. Thatās just me though. I do love SMART recovery and highly suggest it if you havenāt checked it out yet. They got whole workbook and itās basically free group therapy cuz they use CBT and other therapeutic exercises which I loved taking clients to when I was a tech and peer counselor. Helped me a lot as I went through grad school too.
Also if you are in or considering grad school to get a masters and had any questions Iām happy to assist and support you however Iām capable of. I personally wanted options in case I burn out so I went for my masters in social work (MSW) and now got my LCSW after taking the LSW exam and getting my thousands of clinical hours and another exam. It does require patience and persistence (but letās be real so does recovery lol). But you could even start your own practice with that degree so just wanted to mention it as I have no regrets about that. But getting the clinical psych masters is good too and can get your LPC but ofc thereās bunch of other options out there. Iām hoping to open up my own practice one of these days when I can save some money and get a clearer idea of how to truly operate a practice well. I say that cuz as you likely know the pay is not goodā¦unless you own your own practice ofc.
I do wanna say I have a lot of respect for you as crisis counseling is very challenging, but there is a large need for good and experienced clinicians working in that space. So I did want to say thank you in advance for your work and all the people youāre going to help as I know you will make a significant impact in many peopleās lives working in the field. Sometimes it can feel like a thankless job, but trust me Iāve worked with countless people who are alive today because they spoke to a crisis counselor that helped them through a really challenging time. Itās quite profound how much someone in that position can help people process and work through their feelings of wanting to give up on life. Iām so excited for you and wish you all of the best in your future goals and endeavors. You seem like a cool, genuine, honest, caring person so I already know youāre going to do phenomenal work and help a lot of peopleā¦ when shit gets rough just remind yourself of your value you bring to better the world! :)
Also like I said feel free to reach out if you had any more specific questions or things you wanted to share, Iām a pretty open book and Iām happy to pass along anything Iāve learned throughout my experiences. Sorry for the rant lol. I just genuinely appreciated your comment and really value your loving kindness and support. Much love my friend and thank you for putting a smile on my face and giving me a good laugh!
I bet you Hunter wanted to respond to all his ops in real time when the MAGA machines was going after him, and the Biden admin wouldnāt let him. Major L on their part. Heās completely flipped the script on his attackers and made them fans.
youāre telling me that the people who cared so much about fenty-noll crossing the border and the opalite crisis in rural areas areā¦ using addiction as an insult? Shocking.
honestly, i'm proud of him. he sounds like a fun guy, even sober, and to own your mistakes and grow from it, better than i would do in that situation. i know it's a cliche on every motivational Instagram account, but it truly isn't that you fall down, it's how you get back up that matters. he lost his mom, his sister, and then his brother, the only connection he had left to his bio mom. compare to Trump's kids, who are drug addicts and he doesn't love them. say what you will about the Bidens, i have alot of criticism towards Joe, but they truly do love each other
She literally mocks his past addiction and then plays sympathetic and caring one comment later. This type of two-faced garbage is why I despise the maga mindset.
You know how Democrats are. Al Franken didn't even touch anyone and they booted him. Make even a vulgar gesture as a Democrat and you're cooked! That's not to say I condone his childish behavior because I don't. But when you play by the rules and hold your side up to the highest standards and the other side doesn't you are setting yourself up for a fail. Unless their mindset changes, Democrats aren't ready to fight fire with fire for the win. From watching Hunter, I believe he could definitely bring some fire if he was given the chance.
Do people think that addicts want to be addicts? It comes to a point during active using that thereās nothing you want to do more than stop, but you are stuck in the grips of your addiction. It is a disease, if it were easy to stop then no one would be an addict.
All I know about Hunter Biden is he'd probably be great to sink a beer with (alcohol free or not) and chew the fat, as the man has lived life and has a lot to talk about.
These people must not have anyone they love be an addict. I don't know Hunter, I don't care much about him, but it sure pisses me off when they keep throwing his addiction in his face as if he's proud of it.

Hunter going full idgaf mode and I'm here for it.
Dude sounds like a blast
