Liberal pundits are descending to ever greater depths of self-abasement in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election . On this past weekend's edition of Fox News Sunday, senior political analyst Juan Williams made his case to become D.C.'s swampiest commentator by attempting to spin the Hunter Biden saga into an occasion of sympathy for President Joe Biden . Behold this tour-de-force of sycophancy:
It’s not clear to me that the current president’s wayward son and whatever he did… it’s not as clear as what the former president has done. There’s a difference between saying you’ve got a troubled child in your family, that that might even generate some sympathy from parents in this country, and saying, this man has been indicted four times (emphasis mine).
To be sure, such comments could only emerge from someone with no respect for the intelligence of his audience. In order to accept Williams's spin on the Hunter Biden saga - that he is a mere "troubled child" and that President Biden deserves sympathy as a result — one would need to know almost nothing about it in the first place.
For starters, describing a 53-year-old as a “troubled child” is the stuff of Will Ferrell movies, not real life. In this warped fantasy, Hunter Biden’s “troubles” are just an unfortunate family matter to which ordinary Americans can relate.
After all, who doesn't know someone who served on the board of a Ukrainian oil and gas company that paid $1 million per year in exchange for access to the vice president of the United States? Or someone who threatened Chinese nationals with retribution from his vice presidential father if payments weren't transferred to his account by sundown? Or someone who secured at least $20 million in foreign cash for his family spread out across...

A troubled child doesn’t pay a tithe to his dad.
Unless the trouble is the dad.
That would be a good idea.
True dat!
It's not self-abasement if they are soldiers fighting for the Marxists trying to overthrow our government and establish a dictatorship.
They are not self-abased. They are the enemies of freedom (even if they are just useful idiots).
this is true- but Freeper women said the same about Prince Harry when he hooked up with Markle “ But his mommy died sooo young he can’t help it, being confused and all”
so while i think both grown men are responsible for their own actions, many do not.
he’s a common criminal.......
In this feel-good warped liberal fantasy, 53 year old cokehead Hunter Biden’s “troubles” are just “an unfortunate family matter” to which all of us ordinary Americans can relate. After all, who doesn’t have a son or relative, maybe a second cousin, twice removed:
<><>who was a Ukrainian energy company board member?
<><>someone paid $1M p/y in exchange for access to the VP of the US?
<><>someone who threatened Chinese nationals with retribution from his VP father?
<><> someone who demand payments be transferred to his account by sundown?
<><>someone who secured at least $20 million in foreign cash for his family, even the VP grandkids?

It is my understanding that:
The son took ‘dirty’ money and gave some to his daddy.
Daddy knew his son took ‘dirty’ money.
consider:
“The International Court of Justice (ICJ) concluded separately that there was no evidence linking him to genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces during the Bosnian War, but did find that Milošević and others in Serbia had violated the Genocide Convention by failing to prevent the genocide from occurring and hold those involved accountable.”

People are alleging that Joe Biden, a federal officer, failed to hold his son accountable.
.
Same question for Juan.......
No doubt he WAS a troubled child after witnessing what his father was doing to his sister Ashley, or perhaps even to himself, with a stepmother who looked the other way,
The hypersexualization and drug abuse in the Biden “ children” seemingly have familial roots
After all, what kid doesn’t nickname his Dad “Peter Pedo” ?
The propa-press wants to excuse Hunter and give parental excuses for Joe Biden, but in reality, he is scared to death of what Hunter will say, perhaps even turning against him. If you were the head of criminal organization, your biggest fear would be that a compromised, crackhead, out of control underboss who knows where all of the bodies are buried. Perhaps Hunter is blackmailing his daddy. Wouldn’t be the first time.
No, but he’s a very troubled adult.
Other than the $20 million in my ‘offshore account,’ I really can’t relate to anything else Hunter/Brandon have done. *SNORT*
I guess his next card to play will be that ‘Dear Old Dad’ was sexually molesting him, too? That part I might even believe.
These people are degenerate trash. DESTRUCTIVE, degenerate trash. ANTI-AMERICAN, destructive, degenerate trash.
How far America has fallen. :(
Not all of us. Matter of fact, I don't recall seeing that lame excuse at all.
Don't broad brush all FReeper women.
The Biden family was and still is immersed in Joe’s political career, which came before anything else. It was all about public image, power, money and Joe.
In private, I am betting Joe was a very angry and controlling husband and father, possibly mentally and physically abusive. Everything was about image and promoting Joe Biden. His hobby and sport was politics, his wife and kids were and are his props. He is a fraud, which is why he continually tries to reinvent himself. His kids didn’t have a chance.
