It's depressing how dismissive people are of the story.

Don't let hatred, bias and mainstream media take over your critical thinking abilities.

When you open yourself up to news from all sides, you can form a better picture and opinion on what's going on.

The biases from law enforcement and the media are clear to anyone with an open mind.

Well it would help if news outlets that report about it wouldn’t use slurs about the subject they are reporting about or at least write their articles with proper sources instead of „commentaries“.
The story is nonsense. Rudy gets a laptop, sits on it, does whatever with it, and then claims it shows malfeasance on the part of Joe Biden (at best it shows Hunter Biden is what everyone already knows–a mild fuckup whose dad loves him).

The rightwing smear campaign attempting to frame Biden and exonerate trump by pretending Hunter is worse than Kushner, Ivanka, and the rest of the trump criminal family is ridiculous.

Frankly, I don’t think that is the ridiculous part. I’d bet Hunter _is_ worse.

The ridiculous thing to me is that this didn’t matter in context. Hunter wasn’t running and Hunter isn’t actively working in the white house like the Trump family. Meanwhile Trump engaged in gross nepotism, had a scandal rich administration, and did not agree to a peaceful transfer of power. Ultimately he went on to oversee the most violent transfer of power in American history.

IMO most folks didn’t care about the Hunter story and I still don’t. Not because it isn’t important but because it’s a candle to the sun. I don’t think our leaders _should_ be corrupt but when you put forth two terrible candidates all you can do is vote for the least corrupt of two bad options.
