So which little princeling is more corrupt, this one, or Hunter Biden?

So which little princeling is more corrupt, this one, or Hunter Biden?

Depends; which one do you think has done more damage to America - a crackhead politician's son or the grifting son of a Baptist minister who got rich off the family name and lineage?

 

[Black Angel]

Are we talking about the man, or his zipper?

And although I don't get the strange obsession with Hunter Biden, I'd argue that the septuagenarian son of a Nazi did more damage to this country as POTUS 45, and along with his acolytes and supporters, and is still doing so, (even as they dig themselves in deeper legally speaking) more so than the son of our current president who is struggling with drug addiction, likely caused by the loss of his only surviving brother who died of brain cancer and also survived having lost their mother and sister when they were kids.

That kind of pain NEVER goes away, drugs or not.. trust me, it never goes away. Something like this is hard to deal with privately, so I really can't imagine how hard it would be to do so when adjacent to a prominent and public political figure.

Most people in this position, turn to drugs and sex as a coping mechanism, and it is a damn shame that the so-called Christians out there can't at least see the humanity in a person suffering.

At least not before judging them first.

That said, it is painfully evident that these people never got the love and support from their loved ones that POTUS has for Hunter. I suppose this is why it is often said that there is no hate and cruelty like Christian love.

I REALLY don't get the obsession with Hunter Biden.. and they should just leave the man alone.

But these pious people sure went wild over his dick pic.. and they seem to be salivating at the idea of seeing more of them.. I mean, is that why they moved so seamlessly from Hillary's emails to Hunter's laptop? Do they think that Hillary and Hunter traded NSFW pics with each other? Do they think that Clinton traded her secret risotto recipe and yoga techniques with Hunter in exchange for his dick pics? Could it be penis envy? Or are they mad because Hunter had the decency (and was hung long enough) to use adult prostitutes and not children for sex?

I mean, I am sure that there is that kind of thing on both sides, but based on the "#NotADragQueen" and "#NotTransgender" hashtags I've seen all over Twitter and Instagram, and r/NotADragQueen on Reddit, the practice seems to be overwhelmingly on the conservative and Christian side and those were just 2 of common traits they share.. There was even a site out there that listed the sex scandals of the politicians in this country, and most of the ones involving the GOP had to do with children, inclusive of their own relatives and infants. It's fucked up, and, at least it finally explains their stance on abortion, especially in cases of rape and incest.

Even Trump's upper echelon and supporters had quite a few of them, George Nader, Jeffrey Epstein, Nick Fuentes, Matt Gaetz, et. al. Birds of a feather do flock together right? At least, that is how the saying goes.. but it really is weird, because you would think that these kinds of people would be "persona non grata" to anyone trying to maintain a positive reputation for themselves in general, let alone, trying to manage a political career, but oddly enough, these kinds of people seem to be drawn to Trump and the GOP, like moths to a flame.. and he as well as his acolytes are A-OK with it.

But, I digress.

Trump damaged the country both internationally and domestically. Even though he is out of office, families have been torn apart by his hateful rhetoric and abject ignorance. The people who died from Covid after following along with him, won't be brought back, and for a lot of these people, his hateful rhetoric and lies consumed them until their last moments on Earth and these families have been destroyed forever and this is all that is left the surviving family members to remember them by.

So, I admit that I am a bit curious as to how Hunter Biden caused damage to the country.. especially in comparison to Trump and his supporters or helped his Dad steal the election.. did the GOP ever present the all evidence they had? Did they have their witnesses come forward?

With all of the talking they did about both Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden, I was positively sure that the GOP would put on a hearing as eye-opening and informative as the Jan 6. hearings were.. what happened?

The GOP won the house, so what happened?

In truth, I think that the GOP's time would be better spent on trying to figure out why they seem to have so many Christian, conservative pedophiles that support them, rather than beating the dead horse that was once Obama's BC, HIllary's emails, and now is Hunter's laptop.. and Drag Shows and Story Time.

Jeffrey Epstein

The late Mr. Epstein w/Bill Clinton...

Him w/current USVI Del. Stacey Plaskett (the same one who tried to allege Matt Taibbi wasn't a journalist)....

Epstein also helped California Dem. Will Rollins and was friends w/LinkedIn boss Reid Hoffman (who also contributed to the 2024 campaign of President Biden Sniffy Old Guy)....

Point is, Jeffrey Epstein was a major league scumbag who catered to both sides of the political aisle; if ever there was anyone who deserved a quick trip to hell, it was Epstein.

 

[Webster]

And although I don't get the strange obsession with Hunter Biden

I think part of it is merely pushback from the all the times people slagged on the Trump siblings (Barron & Tiffany Trump notwithstanding) and part of it is from the fact that Biden, like a lot of politicians' children, gets away with stuff, Angel, that you or I or most anyone would get thrown into the Black Iron Hotel (to use Philip K. Dick's words) over.

Remember years ago over on Talk Nexus you asked me what drove the average Trump voter....one of the reason I gave IIRC was that a lot of Trump voters saw how politicians and the elites (and Hunter belongs in the latter group there) could and can get away with everything up to and probably including murder that the average American would get crucified over. Hunter getting what amounts to a sweetheart deal that you or I wouldn't get counts as that.

 

[Black Angel]

I know that Bill Clinton was friends with Epstein also.. and my remark about hanging with pedophiles still stands.. he has a daughter.. so how can you as a father to a daughter hang with someone like Epstein.. and I don't believe for a second that all he had on those flights was a PB&J sandwich either.. for all we know that was dyslexic interpretation of what really happened..

I mean, I had a friend that was the neighborhood doorknob and because she was for the streets, people assumed that I was too..

So I really can't understand hanging and associating with pedophiles on any level..

And I am also aware that the FBI were very well aware of what Epstein and others were doing, but they did nothing about it..

Don't try this at home. I, after all, AM a Professional.

And the PhD is in Metaphysics, NOT "snark".

Dr., I'll have you know that thanks to my Grandfather's sharp wit and sarcastic sense of humor, I have learned not to mess with a man over a certain age when it comes to that.. I mean I have seen some shit play out, but it was never directed at me.. LOL

My Grandad was a Southern gentleman born and raised in North Carolina, and yet, somehow, at the same time, was also a native New Yorker.. his accent was heavy on the "Sweet Tea" but he still had the bite of Brooklyn.. and he was a taxi driver in the 70s before he moved to VA with his family after my Dad and uncles graduated and went into the military. This man was the embodiment of ascerbic wit and he was a surgeon with his tongue and could deliver the most brutal line while wearing the biggest, brightest and sweetest smile you'd ever see.

And that was energy that even I knew not to fuck with.. even if I inherited it myself.. lol

He was the closest to us as grandkids and we always had a hilariously sarcastic relationship with him.. even to the point that my Stepdad once grounded us because he thought we were being disrespectful to him, and thankfully Mom told him that that was the nature of our relationship with him and her too.. and it was all good..

That said, I didn't make it to 42, by randomly sassing dudes much older than I and with more experience in that dept.. (let alone a PHD) LOL

So, I am just happy enough to stay in my lane and learn from experts on this one.

And damn, this post has made me really miss my Grandad..

Fuck Brain Cancer.

Seriously.

*deadpans* Sounds distinctly Appalachian by the description above, Angel.

 

[Black Angel]

Well as you know, I have had to ban both Carolinas in addition to about 10 other states when it came to dating, simply because I have so much family there on both sides of my family, that I didn't want to take a chance on dating someone that could be a cousin or something.. so you never know who could be a relative.. LOL

 

[Webster]

so you never know who could be a relative.. LOL

That's West Virginia, not the Carolinas!

[Black Angel]

Webster, have you ever dropped a bag of marbles?

The same applies to family.. you might've started in one place, but like marbles, they don't stay there..

I have banned about 12 states because those were the ones I knew of from my living relatives before I did my genealogy.. since then, I could expand to the ones outside of them and include places like WV, KY, GA, FL etc.. but im lazy.. LOL so I wont..

 

[Webster]

Webster, have you ever dropped a bag of marbles?

Oh yes, a couple times.
I also like marble racing; remind me to tell you about this Youtube page that's nothing but marble racing...

 

[Webster]

but im lazy.. LOL so I wont..

*deadpans* Are you sure that we're not related to some degree?
