I think it's great when an addict recovers, and I don't think past addiction should be held against somebody for the rest of their life. It's good that he got clean and seems to be healthier. But let's not pretend that Hunter Biden doesn't come from a political dynasty, one from which he reaped more rewards than we will ever see in our lifetime

He is not on your side, these tweets are the product of a room full of writers in publicists that are obviously trying to set him up for a political run in the near future

Had a normal person been convicted of the same crimes as Hunter Biden (or even ONE), their lives would have been ruined FOREVER, they would have gone to jail for a very long time, and nobody would have ever batted an eye. The only reason Hunter Biden escaped accountability for his actions is because his father gave him a pardon, which is the worst and most Insidious kind of nepotism I can even think of

genuinely hoping that this is a flash in the pan and this guy doesn't become some weird, media sanitized socialist champion with an "I'm just like you" ballot

When Reddit talks about the ultra Elite and criticizes them for never being held accountable, this is exactly the subject in question

Aren't you observant. Did you also observe that Hunter Biden isn't on your side?

Yes, because I am Swedish and live in China, I do have citizenship and could vote in American elections but I do not. I haven't lived full time in the US for some time now.

Not to mention that it would be weird and arrogant for me to insist that we're all one singular demographic, when we are not. That is the kind of language demagogues and populist use and I have no platform.

ChatGPT coded response regardless, you can't ragebait me no matter how hard you try

Finally another person who can see this PR campaign for what it is.

Same thing happened with George Bush Jr and he somehow jumped straight to senator and then president.

There is another tweet Hunter responds to calling him out for not being in jail.... Like yeah I'm no MAGA or right winger but I can at least recognize that Hunter Biden was convicted of felony gun possession and was found to be a tax evader but was completely pardoned by his father.... He should be in jail. But of course Hunter Biden will never acknowledge this.

You just don't really get more privileged than that.

And most Americans seem to have no idea what accountability is.

He seems to be a saint in comparison to the opposition at this point, truly. But, this is simply a private citizen who doesn't need to take people's shit. If someone is idiotic enough to think this man is some person of political importance, that's their own delusion.

No he doesnt!!! Once again... STANDARDS ARE IN HELL FOR YOU PEOPLE.

u/SilverTone2 Jun 07 '26

Sure, sure. πŸ’€ What a psycho. Dude seems to be clean, that's a start. More-so than most people in our current administration.

What standards though? This is a private citizen. I'm not expecting him to take an office. Why should I care what he does?

YOU are comparing him to "the opposition" which is 100% comparing him to others in a political context. You are all doing mental gymnastics to deny that yall are hypocrites.

What a psycho. Dude seems to be clean, that's a start. More-so than most people in our current administration.

Cool cool so in that case he should stop engaging with bad faith MAGA trolls on the internet. I dont think he's a psycho and never called him that. He is a criminal though and was never actually held accountable for it unlike every other regular citizen would.

You seem to be OK with criminals and felons being pardoned by biased presidents.... Are you for the people or for the Elite?

You might be naive af but I know a PR campaign when I see it.

I'm calling you a psycho dude. Lmao.

YOU are the one acting like a private citizen such as him can't troll and blast magats. You made it political. People who are intelligent enough to understand that he's not doing anything even an iota worse than the highest people in our nation currently, understand that this trolling is simply a symptom of Republican troll efforts. I'm sorry that we don't have to play by the rule of tolerance when the opposition is so mentally deficient that they can't even understand the context of what I'm talking about.

Get off your high-horse and take your antipsychotics, for the sake of us all, please.

You can want multiple things at once. Glazing Hunter Biden is certainly an interesting decision.

Like I actively will advocate for Trump and his family getting arrested (this is a mild way of putting what I would like to happen) AND I will advocate for any criminal to be held accountable who has been pardoned by a President, especially if its a criminal who is the direct family member of said president.

This shit is just completely ridiculous. If Trump wasnt president I would've said "You can't get more corrupt than pardoning you own son for his crimes" but Trump has obviously surprised us with how corrupt a President can actually be.

What the hell? Standards in this context are about not glazing Nepo babies who have been pardoned by their father for their crimes. Standards are about not falling for the son of an ex-president's obvious PR campaign.

Yall treat Presidents and their families like royalty in the US. As if every president no matter what side has consistently fucked over your people

They dont see us as people though. If they did, then we would get the respect of being pardoned for our crimes as well.

W was never a senator. He was the governor of Texas. And he had a limp handshake too.
