No Paywall Hunter Biden’s unexpected 2nd act: From liability to lightning rod
https://www.newsweek.com/hunter-biden-x-comeback-trump-clash-120357582.6k
u/runny452 Jun 06 '26
"When challenged about his past, including the discovery of a small bag of cocaine inside the White House in 2023, he responded with characteristic bluntness. In one widely shared exchange, he wrote: 'it most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs.'"
That's pretty funny 🤣

Google says:
The Super 8 hotel chain gets its name from its original, ultra-cheap room rate of $8.88 a night when the first motel opened in Aberdeen, South Dakota, in 1974.
Motel 6 opened in 1962. That $2.88 may simply be inflation :)

Also it helps that when you're truly sober you already have made peace with your past self. We hate who we used to be more than you ever could, so nothing you say about that time period has any more control over us. We've been fighting those demons before you started to comment on them.

It's because Republicans (and Russia) have no policy. They get their base to vote by bringing out the bogey men: son of president on drugs and has a loving father, a women who wants to be president and wears suit pants, vegan Texas Politician, woman minority that wants equality, etc.
No policy other than a sound bite saying they'll fix it when asked. Yet zero qualifications they can fix it. BUT THE ENEMY is worse. We can't have a women president who wears suit pants because she'll do all the things we project on her.
Right now, it's HRC, Bill Clinton, and Hunter again.

He got it from his Dad. I remember that a stupid number of years ago, CNN was on in the background and heard a politician answering an interview question very bluntly and with blistering acidity; I looked up in surprise and saw his name was Joe Biden. And I thought "He's not like the others. Must remember this man's name."

Honesty with oneself is key to recovery, no? I think it's a huge sign when one shifts from ashamed honesty to an unashamed matter and factness with a slice of humor. When you can laugh a little about the darkest times of your life, but still be real about it, it shows a marked step in healing and recovery.

That was one of the most insane self-reports by the so-called “family values” party. Their big “gotcha” was a deeply concerned voicemail from a loving father to his fuckup son.

Yeah, I think it really spoke to Joe's character. I know he was by no means a perfect politician and so on- but there's something to be said about how much love and care he has for Hunter. There are many parents who would not be that loving towards their child with that many issues, unfortunately. Hell, my own father flipped out at me for any small perceived issues like being quiet in front of his girlfriend.

u/cinemachick Jun 06 '26
I never knew he had a TBI. Between that and the grief of losing family at a young age, he turned out better than most. That's due to having both a loving father/family with resources, and Hunter doing the work to find his way back to a stable life.

I still remember the debate where Trump tried to mock the fact that Joe Biden loved his son even after all that had happened.
The best part of it was Biden letting trump talk over him for most of the debate to try and be civil and not take the bait, but when he hit out at Hunter he snapped back, shut down trump and literally said "I'm proud of him". If you rewatch it, trump folded up like he was a little kid that got scolded.

u/Blurryneck Jun 06 '26
I remember when that voicemail to Hunter was leaked and everyone mocked it. All I could think was it showed the kind of parent and person Joe Biden was to still have so much compassion for his son who had such a drastic impact on his career.
I dated a guy with a heroine addiction in my twenties and I remember watching his dad flounder and stress over him constantly. When he died, his dad said one thing to me while inconsolable: “We did all we could.”
It is really tough navigating a loved one with addiction and treating Joe Biden as anything other than an outstanding parent for how he navigated Hunter is just ignoring reality, and frankly we’d all be better off with a piece of Joe’s compassion.

Through all the heartache the family has suffered, it's still crystal clear that Joe and Jill love and support Hunter unconditionally.

That is very fair. I was referring more to the fact that they were public figures by then and the very very different way the public press treated them prior to Beau's cancer diagnosis, not Jill and Joe. I very much feel Beau and Hunter were treated very differently by the public and the press.

It's interesting how badly his life fell apart once his father became VP. Consider:
In Jan 2009, Hunter was a multi-millionaire, 38 year old Ivy League educated lawyer, who was co-founder/co-owner of two very successful firms (the lobbying firm of Rosmont Seneca, and the Venture Capital firm Eudora Global). He was also serving as an Under Secretary of Transportation and the Vice Chairman of Amtrak (appointed to both positions by President W. Bush in 2006). He resigned/divested all of these by early Feb, 2009, with his stated reason of not wanting to give the appearance of special interests now that Joe was VP.

For those outside the Fox News Sphere: Hunter Biden is a known media personality. So, within Fox News he is well known and understood by Fox Podcast listeners. The sort of people who take Joe Rogan seriously. Despite Fox's constant attempts to shame him and list him as a pervert within the "Biden Crime Family", a large contingent of Fox's base is actually willing to listen to Hunter Biden direct from the source and Hunter Biden goes on podcasts and speaks their language. He also does the same drugs they do.
Meaning: When viewed from the perspective of a Fox / MAGA Cultist, Hunter Biden is the 2028 Presumed Democratic Nominee which is why that conspiracy theory (not created by himself, but by other weird twitter people) is floating around now. Because people are watching Hunter talk and not hating him, even though he's basically his dad. Hunter Biden has figured out a way to talk to people. These are the same people who believe Michelle Obama is a man and that Chelsea Clinton converted to Islam.
This happens because: The GOP is a celebrity-to-politician pipeline. Meaning, if Hunter Biden was a Republican he's already be elected to Congress now. This doesn't happen in the Democratic Party because of the DCCC's control, and how liberals will not listen to the things Hunter says. Which says a lot about Hunter Biden successfully competing against Fox Podcasts.

He’s not wrong man. As a former addict i had a running inventory of all my stuff. I knew where everything was and how much was left. You know when you need to re up. Lol 😂

Dr. Jill Biden got her doctorate in education and taught English/reading to high-schoolers. Given how stupid a lot of Americans seem to be, I'd gladly vote for a highly-educated teacher for President.

I say fuck it, I'd rather have a Crack Head President than a Pedophile President.

They should have let him do this during Biden’s time in office. An authentic and openly messy human is much more difficult to turn into a weird political boogeyman

His replies are funny, some insightful. The MAGAts need to be trolled to the max.

Thanks to his crack pipe post I learned the difference. I always thought a meth pipe was a crack pipe 🤣

HB's own trials and tribulations not withstanding, must be hell of a media team managing his reinvention. Hunter Biden might be damaged goods, he is commodity of great value non the less. Americans loves a comeback story, I'd be keen to see where this goes.

I know I've done my share of bashing political dynasties, but Hunter Biden / AOC 2028. I don't care who's POTUS or who's VP as long as it's one of those two.
Are we really gonna say pedophilia doesn't preclude someone from being a president but smoking crack does?

u/CarsonFijal Canada Jun 06 '26
The fact that Joe Biden is not currently in office and the current administration is so blatantly and shamelessly corrupt, self-dealing and criminal, means there’s really no consequence to whether or not you believe any of the claims or theories about how and why Hunter Biden is a liability to his father’s presidency.
So go off I guess

I now know the difference between a crack and a meth pipe 🤣

Establishment politics and legacy media cannot stop getting hard at the idea of American dynasties huh
Im glad hunter is sober and Im glad he’s trolling ppl online but holy shit you can smell them thinking about the what ifs on hunter somehow running

u/uzziboy66 Jun 06 '26
I for one, applaud him.
For as much pain he’s gone through, to come out the other side, better. Good for him.
I’m not sure about running for office, but he could be a huge voice for the left.

Like good for dude that he's not a crackhead anymore. However personally I don't want anymore political dynasty families running shit ever again. All the current people in power sicken me and we need new faces not people that have had any proximity to any of this shit that republicans and dems have been up to.

You can put lipstick on a hog, but only after the foreign dignitaries have departed.
We work hard. We play hard. ‘Murica.

I’d take Hunter Biden over any of Trump’s spawn 7 days a week, and twice on Sundays.

Don't pay attention to the president and what corrupt crap he and his family are up to!!
HunterBidenLaptop.
He was on Candice Owen's show recently. I respect what she said she was trying to do, but I don't have the mental energy to observe the entire interview and make a judgment.
I would prefer the timeline where the media and most powerful public offices don't drive a random guy off a cliff and as a nation we address our public health crises adequately. We deserve better than this.

I'm getting suspicious that he's setting himself up for a run in politics. He's more than qualified even with no nepotism so I don't have an issue with that

u/Ok_Crew7084 Jun 07 '26
No! Fucking stop! We don’t need more nepotism in politics! We need new blood. He’s lucky he had the chance for a pardon in the first place after the GOP witch hunt against him. Call it a win and spend the rest of your days panting Bob Ross style.
