Physically, Joe Biden Needs Family Close.

Peter Baker does prize-winning political analysis from an insider Washington POV.  He looks at how the political men in DC would analyze Merrick Garland and Hunter Biden at an official state party in the White House, how the ethics look bad so soon after the favored son's plea deal.

Now... try and imagine how things look to all the voters who put these men in our house.

It looks bad, like you treat White crackheads (former -- God bless him for overcoming his addiction) different from Black people who struggle with substance-abuse problems.  Maybe loving your child means disciplining him, Joe?  Letting the State enforce "Law and Order" against your child, too?

Plenty of people with children in jail or prison for less don't think Hunter should keep getting rewarded for his sins and crimes.  (He slept with his late brother's wife;  made a baby out of wedlock that he had to be pushed -- like a teen-aged boy! -- to acknowledge and support.  He wasn't even discreet, leaving his laptop where it was later "discovered" then simply denying it was his and expecting the press and prosecutors to be toothless in reporting the news, simply to enable him.

Why put him on display though and invite him to the parties at pop's place? (it's our house really; you're just temporarily residing there, Biden family, rent free...)

Because its still a very "in-your-face" White privilege that is in power in America today. 

The immigrants haven't really hit out East yet, I don't think.  California and Texas are really the populist power centers of the Americas today.  The coyotes are writting USA's immigration policies, turning the valves to let so many people -- men, women and children -- in today, and so many tomorrow.  Like with corporations, if they get "caught" not playing by the rules, they simply pay fines...  

The criminal trials taking place today for the heat deaths in Texas last year are an abberation -- usually the money changes hands, people come and go, and any deaths are absorbed as the costs of doing business.  America, we know who you are...

Joe Biden, and Jill, likely can't quit Hunter now.  They can't love him, but make him accept responsibility on his own two (feet) , because physically, our president can't be left alone without a personal caregiver close.  That's obvious to anyone who has been around elderly people, who has seen the footage of Biden's physical and verbal stumbles of late...

It's a family drama being played out in public in our house.  Who cares how it plays in Hunger Games DC, Mr. Baker? They're not the swing voters the Dems need.

You ought to know what it does to a parent whose child doesn't get the breaks because they don't have the money or the connections of those currently politically in power under the systematic racism/classism we currently have in place here.    They don't vote for your kid to go to the parties when theirs is in the grave, and the (acknowledged and loved) grandbaby left behind is being raised ... in the home.  That child deserves to stay with family.  Yours doesn't Mr. President.

Get that lil birdie out of the nest already.  Plenty of boys have lost their  mother at his age now.
