Dirty Deeds Indeed.
This is just... not normal/ unnatural/ not how real American families operate, even those who can understand, and possibly forgive?, a mortal man's failings who needs sex while their wife is pregnant/just had a baby. Hint: It's the lying and deceit, the conniving "acceptance" to do whatever it takes to advance a political career that most Americans will not relate to here. Verrrrry incestuous:
Hallie Olivere grew up in Wilmington and knew the Biden family from an early age. Her mother, Joan, was a childhood friend of Joe Biden, and he once joked about trying to date her in high school = “I was the Catholic kid. She was the Jewish girl,” Joe Biden said in September 2015. “I still tried. I didn’t get anywhere.”...
Hallie's parents owned a local dry-cleaning business, and she played field hockey at Tatnall School, a private school on the same leafy street where Joe Biden now lives. By the late 1990s, she was dating Beau Biden and often spending time with his brother, Hunter, and Hunter’s new wife, Kathleen. Beau proposed on Nantucket on Thanksgiving 2001, and the couple married in a small Catholic church on the island a year later. (the Jewish woman converted to Catholicism to marry a Biden? hm. nttawwt, but sounds like it was a "conversion" in name only...)
Kathleen and Hallie bonded, sharing an interest in running and facing together the challenges of marrying into a prominent political family. When Kathleen discovered that Hunter was having an affair in 2014 after seeing photos on his iPad, Hallie was one of the few people she confided in, according to Kathleen’s 2022 memoir “If We Break.”
“If you leave him, Kathleen, he’ll find someone else, and then you’ll have to live with that,” she recalled Hallie telling her. (Ouch! First clue: your sister-in-law is not your friend...)
Kathleen confronted Hunter, and they began meeting with a therapist even as they were drifting apart. But any equilibrium within the family was disrupted when Beau Biden, after several years of battling brain cancer, died on May 30, 2015.
As the family mourned, Kathleen grew suspicious of the time Hunter was spending with Hallie, but she felt guilty questioning his desire to support his brother’s family, she later wrote.
Ultimately, her daughters found his phone, discovering the affair and telling their mother during a tearful exchange in a therapist’s office. (Double Ouch! The poor abandoned daughters had to tell their mother of their father's infidelities? Wow, why he always be leaving his phone/laptop/gun laying around for others to discover like that? hm.)
Several months after Kathleen filed for divorce from Hunter in 2017, news broke in the New York Post that Hunter and Hallie were in a romantic relationship.
Hunter issued a statement saying that he and Hallie were “incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other in such a difficult time.”
Hunter also urged his reluctant father to provide a statement as a way to break the news to the rest of the family, and to the world. “‘Dad,’ I told him, ‘if people find out, but they think you’re not approving of this, it makes it seem wrong,’” Hunter wrote in his memoir. “’The kids have to know that there’s nothing wrong with this, and the one person who can tell them that is you.’”
(Wow. The son dragged his father into his mess, acting as though this was something positive for the children? Where have we heard that story before...? The old man went along. Weak like that. Doubling down on the dumb, but nobody said Joe Biden was anything other than a savvy DC "player" in political circles, never known for his loyalty or brains.)
Joe Biden released a statement saying that the couple had his and his wife Jill’s “full and complete support.”

That's all she wrote.
I get it, not blaming a father (or child) for the sins of their son (or father). But when they "cover" for one another, and the son leads the father deeper and deeper into what anyone can see is not healthy personal behavior and it affects innocent family members... (poor Kathleen and her stunned girl-children* ... at the mercy of Hallie and Hunter -- and Joe and Jill's -- deceit. I'm glad they divorced themselves from the whole Biden family and got out of that mess. Hunter's behavior only got worse from there: fathering and denying an out-of-wedlock daughter with another woman; marrying yet another and fathering a family-acknowledged boy-baby. So sad, says a lot of the Biden brand of feminism and fairplay, I think.)
*They are the only ones deserving of any sympathy in this mess. Sounds like Hallie and Hunter, Joe and Jill, made their beds and now they cannot even lie in them... So much for a strong moralistic man. He is who we thought he was, and he will not be re-elected no matter how much the "moralists" in the press try to slime Donald, Melania and Barron now...
(I hope Melania and Barron have forgiven their father's weakness of the flesh, and the embarrassment he caused them in these latter years when his deed was allegedly uncovered and used for political purposes, but cmon: these two stories of two families are not at all comparable. Just sayin'.)
No way will the American people re-elect Joseph Robinette Biden when these family tales become more well-known, playing out in a courthouse soon. It's not that people are moralistic, but we do respect women way more than this and family sexualizing is frowned upon in most places outside of DC. (Have you read Gore Vidal's 1967 novel? Now is the time to check that one out, if you haven't already... The things some people will do to their family to gain power. Kinda sick, if you're into moralizing.)
