Hunter Biden’s lawyer filed an ethics complaint in the House of Representatives on Friday against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for reaching a “new level of abhorrent behavior” after she displayed sexually explicit pictures of him during a hearing Wednesday.

    I honestly don’t understand why they act like Joe Biden is the only politician with a child who has addiction issues and/or failed relationships. Donald Trump Jr. is also divorced and has had alcohol addiction problems. During the Biden/Trump debates I almost wanted Biden to mention Don Jr’s problems since Don Sr kept bringing up Hunter, but fortunately familial attacks are beneath Biden.

      If they cared about what close relatives of presidents were doing, they should be investigating Jared’s deal with the Saudis.

        The Kushner family sounds almost even more dysfunctional than the Trump or Biden families combined. Jared’s dad has been in jail for a while because he solicited a prostitute for Jared’s uncle(elder Kushner’s brother-in-law) because he wanted to prove to his sister that her husband was a bad person and divorce him. Jared and Ivanka’s kids will probably have to have a lot of therapy, not to mention Jared’s cousins and their children.

      I honestly don’t understand

      you’re still assuming good faith. stop it. they’re not interested in developing a well-rounded worldview and a rational approach to solving the problems that face America. They’re interested in seizing as much power as possible and hurting their opponents as much as possible. Once you realize that, their actions start to make perfect sense. Acting like Joe Biden is the only politician with a problem child serves that end. Ignoring Don Jr’s obvious coke and booze habit serves that end. There is no guiding philosophy to them, no principles they serve, no basis of human decency in which they even pretend to embed themselves. They’ve gone full Lee Atwater: they know who they’re enemies are and they’ll hurt everyone as long as their enemies get hurt too.
