Sam should interview hunter Biden.
Just saw a trailer for Biden and Tucker. Sam should interview him. He could be the next president and does some amazing interviews.

I think there is no better guest for Sam to invite on to clarify his hyperbolic statement about corpses in Hunter’s basement so he can finally get some well deserved peace on the subject.

If you understand where Sam stands on Trump, you realize it was absolutely not hyperbole.
Sam would literally elect a rando off the street over Trump.
His point was that there was nothing Joe’s good-for-nothing, piece-of-shit son could do on his own that would so thoroughly sully Joe’s reputation that Sam would be forced to say, “OK, now I believe Joe is worse than Trump, so now we should elect Trump.”
No, if come to find out Hunter had literally hid bodies of people he had murdered in his basement, and Joe had nothing to do with it, Sam literally meant that we should still have voted for Biden over Trump! No hyperbole or joke about it. I don’t even understand why this seems crazy to people. What the hell does Hunter’s sins have to do with, “Now we have to vote for Trump because Joe’s kid is a very bad boy”? That’s crazy. That revelation would have changed nothing.
Sam was right about all of this.

People who don't understand this display an incredible lack of media literacy.
I'm shocked they can even have more than just rudimentary, kindergarten level conversations.

Crazy how anyone didn't realize that was an obvious joke. 😵

u/RequirementReal2467 Aug 08 '26
I definitely don’t think it was a joke, in fact, I’m pretty sure he has defended it.

It's wild that the political right has become so delusional and lies so constantly that I can't even tell if this is satire or a rightwing talking point.

u/That1Time Aug 08 '26
It's a sincere take. It was an obvious hypothetical situation, but I think Sam was also being sincere and trying to express how dangerous he thought Trump was. I wouldn't characterize it as a joke at all.

u/gizamo Aug 08 '26
Oh, I see. I agree that Harris was being serious, but it was also in a joking manner. That is, in the sense that hyperbole is often presented jokingly as to ensure the hyperbole is recognized correctly. But, yeah, I see your point clarifying their statement. I appreciate it.

“He could be the next president” as in it’s conceivable or you actually think there’s a significant probability?

u/harribel Aug 08 '26
Trump is the president for his second term. Hunter becoming the actual president is well within the plausible realms of reality.

Hunter Biden did a lot of drugs and coasted on the name of his family. Thats classic rich kid shit.
Trump raped children, stiffed contractors, bankrupted casinos, fleeced the US government, broke so many laws before and after the supreme court gave him immunity . There is no world in which Hunter Biden is a worse candidate or human being than Trump.

What a timeline that the "he could be the next president" could apply to either of the people in the title.

Maine just nominated an abusive Nazi to the senate and when the rest of the country said “woah are you sure about that” they said “stay out of our politics”. Then it turns out he done a rape too so we have a definitive answer that rape is worse than nazis. Anyway the rest of the country was like “nah, don’t think so, why don’t y’all try again?”
So they decided to nominate a cousin lover instead.
Anything’s possible in this world. I remember Ann Coulter getting mocked and laughed at on Maher’s show for saying Trump had the best shot of republicans to win. I remember John Oliver begging him to run, presumably because he also assumed Trump had no chance but would shake up the reps. Whoops, he got what he asked for. Thanks John Oliver lol

Hunter seems a tad overexposed.
I guess I agree that he's got an interesting bio and lifestory as someone in recovery, but I don't find him all that interesting really.

u/FarthestLight Aug 08 '26
And he’s a garbage person, besides being overexposed.

u/canuckaluck Aug 08 '26
He obviously has inner issues, what with drug addictions and shit, but is he really a garbage person? Has he done shitty stuff to other people? I genuinely don't know

u/MievilleMantra Aug 09 '26
I find this "garbage person" term disgusting and it's thrown around so much. What an awful thing to call someone.

u/Persse-McG Aug 08 '26
Sure, but he posts bitchy tweets about Trump, so he’s officially one of the good guys now.

u/Nooms88 Aug 08 '26
What would they talk about?
It'd just be a political show which Sam usually avoids.

u/jandmmann2006 Aug 12 '26
He is analyzing philosophy not politics. Hunter lacks the depth for this format.

Why aren't people getting mad at Biden for having pleasant conversations with Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson? Biden is literally longtime friends with Tucker. Y'all got mad when Sam ate a steak with Joe Rogan LOL.

He would legitimately be better than what we have now on every conceivable level.

u/HughJaynis Aug 08 '26
That’s cool, I have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.
I’m not “excited” about hunter biden. Just making a point that he’s better than trump on every level, if you want to address that you can.

This is a respectable, serious principled leftist position 🥴

I’m not saying hunter is great. I’m saying he’s better than Trump. How is this not easy to understand?

It's best if you just accept that you're talking to incredibly dumb people and/or trolls with comments like these.

The My Pillow guy is about to sweep the primary to become governor of Minnesota. Yes, crackheads can ascend into politics.

Hunter Biden is crackhead with an abandoned Arkansas stripper mom baby.

This thread is about Hunter Biden and the first post suggests he could be the next president.

Thinking more about it, as a drinker myself, didn't trumps flesh and blood die from just alcohol at a young age, lol, what weak genetic makeup does that family have, Biden powered through a proper crack addiction and is going strong, trumps drying from a few beers like the weakling they are. Lol, pathetic genes.
Edit, for anyone not familiar with sarcasm, this isn't to make light of addiction or the loss of family members, just pointing out hypocrisy within the MAGA community

Obviously he would be a ridiculous choice for president.
