Mate, obviously the Trump dynasty's hands were tied. Michelle wrote a book or two, so therefore it's totally ok for the entire extended Trump clan to have roles in government. The real problem here is Michelle though for doing far less - and we mustn't talk about how the Trump clan has done far worse.

This is one of those times where people need to apply standards consistently...
I understand that everyone has their political preferences, which is fine, we all do.
...but to pretend that the Hunter laptop thing wouldn't be just as big of a story had it been Don Jr.'s laptop is just disingenuous.
Democrats want to downplay it when it's their guy
Republicans want to downplay it when it's their guy
With both presidential candidates, there's solid evidence that both have children are using their name (and position of power) to make deals.
So to pretend that it's a "nothingburger" just because it's the guy someone hates less is dishonest.
Trump's kids leverage his status & position to capitalize...I don't know why people think it's unthinkable that Hunter Biden would do the same.
If there were a Don Jr. photo of him passed out with a crack pipe in his mouth, and other pics that were currently being investigated as potential underage inappropriate contentography, we all know it would be a much bigger story in certain outlets.
I wish it were easier for people to just admit that Biden and Trump are both terrible.
It's fine if you think that one is slightly less terrible than the other, but that doesn't mean you have to pretend as if the other one is a "good guy".
To pretend as if Hunter's position with Burisma isn't suspicious is wearing a pretty big pair of blinders. A person with no energy industry experience, getting a multi-million dollar salary from an energy company when their dad is the VP is suspicious by any objective standard.
If you think that Trump is worse, that's fine, there's probably a fair argument that could be made for that, but to pretend that it's a "nothing to see here" situation with Hunter Biden and his dad is dishonest.

THe point is it's virtually never the trump guy's fault, even though that dynasty is culpable for an insane amount of dodgy stuff.
YOu want us to pretend that Biden is 'as bad' when he's not, this is a lie. Do better.

I'm not saying who's worse...in my own personal opinion, Trump is worse.
I'm saying that Trump being worse doesn't equate to "any corruption involving Biden = nothingburger"
The Hunter Biden situation is problematic. ...and there is some evidence that makes it at least makes it worth looking into weather or not his father was complicit.
That's not an endorsement of Trump.
The "lesser of two evils" shouldn't be immune from criticism.

It shouldn't. But prioritise the greater evil - Trump. This isn't difficult if you truly care about all the stuff you're claiming to care about.

Hunter's ex-partner recounts meeting Joe Biden, claims family 'paranoid' about hiding former VP's involvement
Hunter Biden's ex-business partner Tony Bobulinski confirmed on Thursday that he met with former Vice President Joe Biden regarding his son's business dealings and alleged that someone involved with the controversy had warned him about coming forward.
"I was told this past Sunday by somebody who was also involved in this matter that if I went public, this information -- it would 'bury all of us, man,'" Bobulinski alleged.
Bobulinski went on to accuse the former vice president of lying about his involvement with his son's business dealings, and indicated that his family sought to conceal his activities.
Specifically, Bobulinski alleges he met with the former vice president on May 2, 2017, introduced by his son, Hunter and brother, Jim.

Maybe he saved up all that money because some people are letting him live rent-free in their heads?

All of it. Given all the red flags identified early, it's hardly worth my time. It's obviously a mis-leading hit pieced manufactured to drive a narrative.
Did Hunter use his position as the VP son for his own advantage. Most likely.
Compared to open corruption of the Trump family members, it's kindergarten league. And anyone who suggest there is some equivalence between Hunter and any of the Trump kid's activities is smoking crack (not saying you are....but others imply it).

There has been reasons given to be skeptical. Sure, I'm not saying DON'T look into it. Suer. In fact, it sounds like the FBI is looking into it and has been since December of 2019.
I don't think many people would say Biden is clean as the driven snow. But again, to compare/equate the actions of these two is beyond the pale of reason. And frankly, even at the WORST case scenario for this whole email situation it really isn't that big a deal in the age of Trump's pocket lining.

Honestly, I don't think they do know it. They're too busy feeling shadenfreude at liberals being angry at his lying to actually CARE that he's lying.
Misplaced, vindicitive priorities.

Did satan come forward with an on air description of the business dealings, providing additional proof also?
Biden's former business associate sure did.
