WASHINGTON Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter talk every day, typically a fast check-in initiated by the Democratic presidential nominee, often from the back of a car between campaign stops. Although Mr. Biden tries to touch base with his two grown children and five grandchildren once a day, doling out I love yous, Hunter is a special case.
My only surviving son, is how the former vice president refers to his Hunt, whose battles with addiction have made for a long-running high-wire act within the Biden universe.
The stresses of Mr. Bidens presidential campaign have made an already complicated father-son relationship even more so. From the outset of the race, President Trump and his allies have made Hunter Bidens business dealings a centerpiece of their efforts to portray his father as an unscrupulous swamp presence.
Some of the attacks are unfounded, but the facts of Hunter Bidens troubled life have provided the president with ample fodder. Hunter Biden took a highly paid position with a Ukrainian oligarch regarded by the United States as corrupt, and later acknowledged he most likely got the job because his father was overseeing U.S. policy in the country at the time. He went into business with a number of partners who have subsequently been convicted of unrelated crimes. And his struggles with addiction have contributed to the less admirable lines on his résumé, including his abrupt departure from the Navy Reserve in 2014.

FOAD Biden!
Can we cut the sob stories about Sleepy Joe?
Does he have to resort to whining to beg for votes?
That the NYT feels the need to rehabilitate the Joe/Hunter Biden relationship tells you all you need to know. Clearly the China accusations are sticking, and hurting the campaign.
Isn’t that Hunt with a “C”?
Every day I check on my only surviving sump pump.
They know they have to write something on Hunter so they come up with nonsense articles like this.
Joe you ruined your son 30 years ago. ]
Poor Joe. /s
“Some of the charges are false . ..”
WHICH ONES?
Only thing bitter in this campaign is Joe and the RATs.
The Truth Slips out.
If he cared about Beau, his wife and kids wouldnt be Hunter Sex players.
Does anyone have a copy of that meme that goes:
When you like subpoena coladas,
Getting caught in Ukraine.
When your dads into young girls,
And you are into cocaine.........
Very funny graphics included
Probably earned a high five from dad since he was showering with Hunter's sister (or Joe's daughter, however you want to look at this hillbilly crap).
So he admits this is politically good for Trump
Spend your evening at someplace called the “Hustler Club” and what do you THINK is going to happen?
