Paying $870k on sex work is absolutely staggering and there’s no way that he was a John for potentially thousands of escorts without being involved in human trafficking, statutory rape or just outright rape. The dude is a rapist and human trafficker. This isn’t “partying”. He took advantage of their addictions to cocaine as well I’m sure.
It is useful to point out the double standard between us lowly peasants and the upper class. Hunter’s father is the one who put harsh minimum sentences on millions of people for the same crimes his son gets away with without issue for years.
Also, Joe is laundering his corrupt money through his son so it is relevant. Hunter is the vessel through which all the Ukraine plunder flowed, and it’s a necessary part of understanding why the Democrats went so all in on Ukraine (heavy financial intertwining and corruption)
Looking at this through a leftist and class conscious lens, absolutely, the Bidens should be held to the same standards as everyone else. But the right-wing ghouls conducting this investigation and many of the rags reporting on it aren’t doing it for justice. They don’t care about that. They actually love punitive drug laws. To them this is nothing more than “payback” for Dems prosecuting similar cases against Trump and his nepo babies. They’ve been floating the idea of impeaching Biden since before he was even inaugurated and have been fishing for any reason to do so. Not to mention I bet if you dig deep enough into Congress alone you could find dozens or even hundreds of elected officials who have also spent tens of thousands on drugs and sex workers, but few of them will ever face so much as a moment of scrutiny.
I could get on board with going after Hunter if the same standard was applied to the rest of them.

Cool, let them fight. Hope the Republicans do as much damage as possible to Genocide Joe, who gives a fuck. Hopefully it distracts and paralyzes him.

Okay? That’s no reason to go easy on Biden corruption, just a reason to go harder on congressional corruption. Use the dirt on Biden to bring him down, damage and delegitimize these bourgeois political institutions. It’s better to focus on something that will cripple Genocide Joe domestically in the news than 99% of what American news focuses on
idgaf about the parties themselves but the working class in America still suffers while congress wastes their time fishing for reasons to impeach biden. which won’t even fucking do anything even if they succeed, because neither did the last two impeachments. Hunter wasn’t an elected official, the courts should be handling this, not congress. Bureaucratic inefficiency matters to me when it causes people to suffer. like obviously neither party is going to get better but it still helps to vent about it
and I’ve never suggested going easy on biden, either of them. i’m just saying none of this is going to result in any substantive or material changes for the working class in america, other than hastening the collapse of this racist piece of shit empire.

You think the Democrats or congress will ever help the working class of America? The best we can hope for from bourgeois dictatorships is paralysis and collapse and incompetency. If congress was united right now they would be pushing through more border walls and more Ukraine funding, a functioning American congress is a bad thing. The best case scenario for us is that they are distracting themselves and causing contradictions to lock-up. I would rather congress waste its time with this theater shit than push more funding for Ukraine

Okay yeah that’s fair. But I still think the media’s hyper focus on this issue is way overblown.

Being the president’s family will do that
