Hunter Biden's N***a Lawya...

Hunter got a pass on so much.  Drug use.  Woman use. Family abuse. But that was pre-election... 

Surely the progressives -- with their insistence on banning the N word from white mouths, no matter the context -- will come for him now*...?

Along with his naughty words, Hunter also describes the God his father believes in as ‘a fictional character from the imagination of the collective frightened’. The exchange also suggests that Hunter may have accidentally sent George a sext, attempting to reach a woman named Georgia.

This would all be very, very bad for Hunter and his parents, if he were a local TV anchor or a cake-shop owner or a middle schooler or something. If he were any of those things then this story might conceivably consume the national news cycle for at least a day.

Fear not, though. Hunter Biden will be fine. His story will be restricted to the pages of the Mail and a few conservative-ish outlets. To his immense good fortune, he’s merely the son of a US president who has inexplicably piled up one lucrative opportunity after another despite being a druggie and all-around screwup. Nobody at CNN finds his story interesting.

Now, if Hunter were someone really powerful and important, like an anonymous high-schooler dreaming of cheerleading at the University of Tennessee, then this story would be important. Then, he might get a 2,500-word essay in the New York Times about him and the psychopathic classmate who doxxed him for a two-year-old video.

Or imagine if Hunter Biden was a graphic designer who dressed up as Megyn Kelly for a Halloween party two years ago. If he was, then it would definitely be worth a 3,000-word Washington Post investigation into his life. But fortunately, Biden’s only employment seems to be on the boards of shady foreign companies, so there’s nothing to look at here. Come on, the Post’s motto is ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’. If they want something to stay dark, then ipso facto it has nothing to do with democracy.

Hunter, the poor boy, is a man, a little man.  Yes, his brother, and mother and sister, are dead.

Does this give him a pass to talk, or type, like that? Hm. Will be telling if progressives speak out, and Joe too, if he's serious about the racial-reconciliation-within-families-to-bind-up-the-nation's-wounds talk.  There's still time to put the power of the purse behind progressive policies (not reparations!) to show seriousness in addressing the nation's past wrongs resulting in unequal classes of citizens in the economic marketplace that exists today.  Serious inequities that will be addressed in time, sooner smarter than later as always in investing.  Joe's been around politically and has built strong Dem allies. He's no Barack Obama where he will settle for prettytalk on his (clock ticking...) watch, I don't think...

Joe promised. Now what will he in actuality deliver?

A lot of people want to support him, I think. Especially if he continues implementing many of former President Trump's ideas (passing an economic relief package for workers that the parties just could not get done pre-election; prioritizing the vaccine rollout; pulling troops -- and sunken money costs! -- from our many alleged national-security interests in the Middle East;  hands off Israel's continual mow-the-lawn mini-wars ("if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em...").

*Really, it would be just like a Biden for some loose words to kick off the actual action needed to be undertaken to address the problem.  Here, not just token or symbolic change, but a progressive drive to build more housing, fairer workplaces, and healthier at-home families in America over prioritizing shareholders' interests...  Tightening the labor supply at the borders, releasing more and more funds over the coming years for housing, families and market-driven labor innovations would be key.  Ain't nobody need to be anybody's n***a in America today if we actually invested in our people instead of settling for cheap symbolic fixes.
