    The channel 5 interview with hunter Biden was pretty entertaining. He was good at politicking which isn’t shocking given his background and pedigree, the man went to Georgetown and got a JD from Yale. He’s not a moron. He just was an addict, which happens to a ton of lawyers (6-7% of gen pop has an alcohol problem, 21-36% of lawyers will have an alcohol problem at some point in their career. 15-20% of lawyers screen positive for illegal substances like benzos or opioids. Oddly cocaine and amphetamine misuse is the least documented when that is probably the most commonly abused substance amongst lawyers. It is a profession with a substantially higher rate of substance abuse disorders)

    The right wing news sphere is so up their own ass with a combo of “he’s a total moron” and “he’s a scumbag drug addict” that of course they’re shocked when presented with evidence that he’s functional and maybe even more than that. Of course, they should know this, given their antivax head of HHS (rfk) went to Harvard and got his JD from the university of Virginia (also as a political legacy) while struggling with heroin addiction. They will recognize that someone can clean up their act when they align with their values, of course. Otherwise a drug addict is a lost cause.

    Neither should be in politics though. Rfk and Biden are both pieces of shit. Fuck political legacies. Just because your dad/uncle was president doesn’t mean shit, fuck you and your nepotism. Your gilded life wasn’t enough? Now you want to rule the world? Go fuck yourself
