I chalk that up as lame but kind of inevitable mild corruption that doesn't really go anywhere -- Hunter seems more like an embarrassing addict child that a caring parent has no choice but to put up with than somebody who can truly peddle influence over his father -- and feel that this administration is a vast difference in degree of corruption. Degrees matter!

Do you feel better about naked self interest and blatant corruption after you say that?

Does it make it ok because you try to equivocate?

Is it so hard to just say "corruption is bad all the time and we should not tolerate it from anyone" - it is not a controversial position at all.


I'll bite. Remind me what job Hunter held in the previous administration again.

This whataboutism is also ridiculous. Even if we assume Hunter did the worst of what MAGA says, Trump is personally orders of magnitude worse. He did a crypto rug pull the first few days of being POTUS again ffs. And people complain that Hunter traded on his name to get a cushy board spot?

Trump is actively working to get rid of the law against foreign bribery!

What are you going to bring up next, Hilary's emails?


Nothing that Trump or Elon are doing is corruption. Money getting funneled through shell companies to Bidens’ is corruption. Your liberal bias is strong enough to not even realize that for 4 years. And the massive weaponization of government against opponents is the worst.

"And the massive weaponization of government against opponents is the worst..." it's ever been under Donald Trump.

There I fixed it.


Well, enjoy these 4 years
