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.
Beyond the attacks, aides say the former vice president agonizes over how his hyper-public position has added to the formidable burdens of being his remaining son. If Hunter sounds down on the phone, Biden aides say, it can send his father into a funk and inflict a melancholy that lingers.

You forgot to add that the girl in question was Joe Biden's granddaughter. If I were Joe I would have called the cops myself to arrest my son. Arrest him to save him.
why isn’t FR posting Bobulinski articles instead of all the negative Dem rubbish?
30 Oct: Washington Times: Brent Bozell calls on conservatives to share Bobulinski story amid media blackout
‘If the leftist media won’t tell the truth, we will’ says media watchdog
by Jennifer Harper
We are witnessing what is arguably the biggest political scandal in American history. The bombshell allegations that have emerged concerning the Biden family and now corroborated by Tony Bobulinski, outline potential federal crimes involving a man who seeks to be President of the United States. The American media are deliberately covering it up to protect Joe Bidens campaign, said Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, in a statement on Friday.
This is the most important issue of the 2020 presidential election and the leftist so-called news media do not want America to know it. There is onlyone way for America to learn the truth, Mr. Bozell said.
I am calling on every member of the conservative movement to mobilize
to make the American people aware of this story. If the leftist media wont
tell the truth, we will. The American people deserve to know the truth
when they go to the voting booth, he advised...

30 Oct: American Spectator: The American media is failing you
Journalism has become partisan promotion
by Charles Lipson, Peter B. Ritzma Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the University of Chicago, where he founded the Program on International Politics, Economics and Security
Except for Fox News, all the major TV networks and national newspapers adopted the Russia collusion narrative and drove it forward. They relied almost entirely on leaked stories from anonymous sources, deeply opposed to Trump, mostly at the FBI and CIA, plus some Democrats on Capitol Hill. The main drivers were James Comey and Andrew McCabe at the FBI, John Brennan and James Clapper at the intelligence agencies and Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. They not only got a Special Counsel appointed but got him free rein. Robert Muellers prolonged investigation, managed by his deputy, Andrew Weissmann, hamstrung the presidency and helped the Democrats win the House in 2018.
All this time, Schiff was a media darling, repeating his claim that he had proof positive that Trump actively worked with the Kremlin. In fact, Schiff was sitting on secret testimony, given by all Obamas top officials in national security and law enforcement. Under oath, all of them said they had no evidence of Trump working with Russia. Schiff knew that, of course, but he repeatedly told the press the opposite...
Failure #2: The media failed to investigate spying on Trump...
We wont know the full story until US Attorney John Durham issues indictments and perhaps publishes a report. But we already know the main elements and, once again, we know the mainstream media missed it completely. What is that story? It is that the Obama administration used the most powerful tools of intelligence and law enforcement to spy on an opposition political campaign and impede the transition of power...
Looming Failure #3: Refusing to investigate Biden family corruption...
There are now three separate sets of damning documents covering overlapping scandals. One is Hunters laptop from hell, abandoned at a Delaware repair shop. The second is a cache of some 27,000 emails to and from Bevan Cooney, one of Hunter Bidens disgruntled ex-business partners. The third and most recent is another cache of documents plus an extensive, on-the-record TV interview with Tony Bobulinski, an international business executive and another of Hunters former partners...
Whether Tony Bobulinskis story ultimately pans out or not, the allegations and supporting documents are big news, worthy of serious investigation and reporting. Or, rather, they should be. So should the Delaware laptop and the Cooney emails. In fact, there is almost complete media silence about all of them. The laptop story was reported only by the New York Post, which was then locked out of its Twitter account for daring to share a link to its own cover story. Except for Fox News, The Spectator, the Wall Street Journal and some conservative blogs, the laptop story has received almost no follow-up coverage.
What happened to the Bobulinski story is even more amazing. There is an almost-complete mainstream media blackout, except for Fox News, which aired the hour-long interview with Bobulinski. Sinclair News has begun to do some follow-up. Of course, conservative media are consumed with it. Meanwhile, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC and CNN refuse to even mention it. A search for Bobulinski on the CNN website (on October 30 at 4:15 a.m.) shows Your search for Bobulinski did not match any documents....
The latest victim of this blackout is Glenn Greenwald, a prominent reporter on intelligence issues who formerly worked for the Guardian before co-founding a prominent website, the Intercept. Greenwald drafted a major article on these and other Biden problems for the Intercept, but the editors refused to publish it unless he deleted all criticism of the Democratic presidential candidate. Rather than do that, Greenwald resigned (for reasons he explains here) and published the article on his newly-launched Substack (here)...
Since nobody bothers to ask hard questions, the Biden team hasnt even been forced to deny the accusations. It certainly hasnt volunteered any details. The Biden campaign has never said the Delaware computer and the documents on it are fake, for example. They havent said anything about the Cooney emails. And they have completely avoided comments on Bobulinskis devastating accusations...
These are the same folks who eagerly reported the most salacious, unverified accusations against Donald Trump from Christopher Steeles dossier, based only on FBI leaks and a PR campaign from Hillary Clintons operatives. They seem to have learned nothing and forgotten nothing, as Talleyrand once said of Frances Bourbon monarchy...

Joe, you put Hunter into the position where his shame on the family might be too great to bear. Think about that before full dementia sweeps you away.
Joe at this stage is not even capable of effectively playing the victim standing over his familys bodies. The media has to write and play the victimhood role for him.
Snuggles Biden. I see most of the Bizarrevideos of Biden with kids have been taken down from YouTube. Whether thats because the regular news channels took them down or YouTube itself censored them I dont know, but the stuff I saw a year ago has now disappeared.
a MUST-WATCH:
strong support for Bobulinski from Rep Ro Khanna(D-Ca):

Poor Joe didnt know how to deal with his grief and ended up putting both his sons in a situation of abuse. The rest just snowballed but none of it was Joes fault. Get a grip others have had it much worse.Joe is pathetic.
slo jo disinters his dead kid more often than reruns of CSI.
He should just drag the coffin around with him and open the lid evey time hunter gets mentioned. He does it verbally, might as well do it for real.
I did not realize that much manure could be piled together without a permit.

They are Joe's business dealings. Hunter is there to provide plausible deniability.
I worry about Hunter. I hope they make an
exception to the rules and allow Hunter to share
a cell with his father. I can’t imagine a FReeper
so callous as to refuse to sign a petition to
support such a humanitarian effort.
I never knew what a hot mess the Biden family was.
Now I’ll never forget it.
Oh, and for the record, they all deserve each other.
I am with respect to the New York times no different than David Howorwitz is to the Marxists - one of the converts from their intellectual scams.
There is a NYT style of writing that takes the form of writing a very slick editorial made to read as if it is just a news report. There is nothing in Pravda on the Hudson that is not written that way.
