No, Hunter Biden isn't a 'troubled child'
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/24/23 | Peter Laffin

Posted on 08/25/2023 2:48:13 AM PDT by Libloather

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...

i did not say all, so just calm down. and just because you did not see the comment does not mean it wasn’t posted.
Was that your point? anything else you’d like to correct before the weekend?

$1 million per year in exchange for access to the vice president of the United States.

Money changed hands with the Biden’s and the democrats want to go after Trump with the RICO act when no money changed hands.

Democrats in action nobody is safe.

Women is plural.

If just one woman posted it, then using the singular would have been appropriate instead of implying that many or all FReeperettes stated that.

I raised 2 truly troubled children that were adopted out of foster care. My last words to them when they finally moved out was to never let their shadow darken my doorstep again.

Hunter is a grown man and deserves nothing more or less than the consequences of what his own decisions have brought.

My point is you can only do so much for your children until you realize that they can’t be helped.

As for Joe, this would mean cutting off the golden goose bag man son of his which would never happen. This tells me Joe is as F’ed up as his kid and views Hunters habits and behavior as normal

Freeper women said the same about Prince Henry? I don’t remember any gender difference in those kind of remarks.

We have enough pejorative remarks about women here on FR. It’s sexist and reflects poorly on those who do it.

you got me there- i attributed that comment to a woman, because i can’t imagine a man getting weepy about Harry and his mommy.

I can't imagine a man breast feeding, needing tampax, wearing dresses and doing a whole bunch of things but apparently some men do. LOL

No, you did not attribute it to *A* woman, singular.

You used plural and that changes the meaning.

And posting a couple line response is no indicator of how much time I have on my hands.

Your condescending, snarky attitude is duly noted.

Excellent points.

Everything about Joe Biden is his image and promoting Joe Biden.......
his hobby, his pets, even sports, are his political crutches.

His wife and kids are just his props........but number one son Beau died
and whoring cokehead Hunter hasnt lived up to dad’s expectations to replace Beau.

I have watched Jill a lot and her body movement, the way she talks, moves around Joe and I am convinced she has not had the greatest life with Joe. I wasn’t kidding when I mentioned he was probably abusive. Again the fake image came into play it was insisted that she was to be referred to as Dr. Who does that? He is a misogynist his fondling little kids and women, his reference to women’s looks, dating, etc. everything liberal women hate about men.
