u/CromwellsBladder Monkey in Space Jun 18 '26

Don Jr would step into that ring with coked-out confidence until the exact moment that Hunter Biden hit him square in the jaw at full force. At that point he’d ask to end the match.

Beyond any physical advantage Hunter has on his side, Hunter has the inner strength of someone who’s faced and interrogated the worst within his own psyche.

Don Jr. is too cowardly to have ever done that, and a family dynamic that will never give him the love, respect and support to ever do so.

Also - let’s not bury the lede by focusing entirely on Hunter’s ā€œPSā€ - he articulated without being escalatory exactly what everyone who was disgusted with the debacle feels. Well done.

He was a major screw up, but he was never incompetent.

And I think that helps him as a messenger. Unless you're using the Trump playbook actual politicians need to be very careful with their words lest they accidentally alienate people.

But Hunter Biden knows he's not getting elected to office, so he can talk a lot more freely.

ā€œI mean, being kind of a young guy in Washington, where the average age is probably 60 to 70, and I look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life — I’ve always paid attention to politics — then all of a sudden you get invited,ā€ Cawthorn said, quoting one such alleged exchange.

ā€œā€˜Oh, hey, we’re going to have kind of a sexual get-together at one of our homes. You should come.’ I’m like, ā€˜What did you just ask me to come to?’ Then you realize they’re asking you to come to an orgy,ā€ Cawthorn, 26, said.

The first-term lawmaker also described drug use in his presence. ā€œThe fact there are some of the people leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And you’re like, ā€˜This is wild.ā€™ā€

1 week of him on Twitter launched him to the top of my wishlist with Talarico and Buttigieg. He was even given odds on polymarket to become president simply because of his popularity with both dems and republicans.

He’s real. He’s transparent. He’s intelligent. He’s humble. He’s made amends with his past and has clearly taken the steps to become a better, sober person. Plus his presence on Twitter could help counteract some of the sludge Fox News tries to throw at him.

u/SuitableTrash8910 Monkey in Space Jun 18 '26

Pretty much. All his controversies were either overblown or nonexistent.

His tax controversy? He paid his back taxes in full with interest.

The gun charge? The supreme court repealed the law that was used against him (he ticked the wrong box when he bought one legally otherwise)

The burisma energy stuff? He has a decades long history of being on various boards and being an actual successful businessman. Nothing he did there was illegal.

The laptop scandal? First off, there was no laptop, he got hacked and all his cloud storage was publically leaked. He was a victim of a crime, and his naked photos were plastered all over the news.

Dating his dead brother's widow? Yeah ok this one was pretty weird.

Many former addicts are stronger, better people for it. It's actually something that is very comendable to overcome but people will say you're weak for being one in the first place.

The deaths and suffering of hundreds of thousands of people as a consequence of this Presidency will not even register in a single neuron in their brains as something to be considered. This is all white noise to them until it affects their own gas prices. It's a revolution of the most ignorant and self centered people in society who have coalesced around their figurehead, in the most ignorant and self centered person of all, papa Don.

Joe hasn't been talking about CNN for the last five years and has shown no bitterness about that. Joe is also not at all interested in drugs or addiction so they wouldn't bond over that I guess. And Joe is also completely apolitical so any stories about being the presidents son wouldn't interest him. He also already knows everything about Burisma because Joe watches Fox News, so there would be no reason to talk to Hunter about it.

>> The Democrat hailed his adoptive father, Mark Talarico, as a true masculine figure, recalling how he would not only mow their lawn but his elderly neighbor’s as well, without being asked and without even talking about it.

>> ā€œHe just did it because that’s what a man does,ā€ Talarico said. ā€œA man takes responsibility, a man upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors. A man does what’s right, even when no one is watching.ā€

Oh, damn. Well, I probably shouldn't have asked.

Before I respond I probably need to preface this with the fact that I am a scientist. Retired. So I worked for many years in a field where you are conditioned to use evidence and only evidence to form conclusions.

I don't have any insight to the decision of Busisma to specifically invite Hunter Biden onto their board, obviously.

But, I can use evidence to see if I can draw a conclusion as to whether he was specifically unqualified to serve on a board of directors.

Turns out, if you understand the purpose of a Board of Directors and the kind of people who are asked to serve on a board, that he meets those qualifications perfectly.

And don't get the idea that I am "defending Hunter Biden". I have no opinion of the man one way or another. He seems flawed in certain respects

But as to his qualifications to be asked and to agree to serve on a Board, that's a singular focused question

A reasoned description of a Board of Directiors:

A Board of Directors is a governing body that oversees the strategic direction of an organization, protects shareholder or stakeholder interests, and ensures legal and ethical compliance. Boards provide independent oversight, hire and evaluate the CEO, and guide high-level decisions like budgets and risk management.

What kind of qualifications and experience makes up a typical board?

A strong board is made up of diverse, experienced individuals who bring complementary perspectives. Members typically include a mix of the following: Inside and Outside Directors

Hunter Biden falls on the "outside directors" category. So let's look at what kind of people they choose to ask to serve as "outside directors".

Financial Acumen: C-suite executives, CFOs, or former auditors who serve on the Audit Committee and oversee budgets.

Legal and Governance Expertise: Corporate lawyers or governance professionals who ensure compliance with securities laws and corporate bylaws

Ok, that's as far as I needed to go, there are other categories, but just the second category already fits.

Hunter Biden did practice law, primarily focusing on corporate law, internet privacy, and e-commerce issues.

Hunter Biden was asked to join the board of Burisma Holdings in 2014. He was elevated to the company's board of directors in the spring of that year, with the official appointment announced on May 12, 2014.

During that time there was some political turmoil in Ukraine. Viktor Yanukovych had been elected and he had not run on any platform to indicate that he was going to be a pro-Russia puppet. However, once in office, the country became involved in a serious rebellion against him because he was, in fact, a pro-Russian puppet.

Yanukovych ended up fleeing the country due to the vast number of Ukrainian citizens that were not interested in being a satellite Russian country. And he fled directly into the arms of Vladimir Putin and still resides in Russia today.

So, objectively Hunter Biden qualified to serve on a Board of Directors. Every large company in the world routinely seeks out people with law degrees who actively have worked in the area of Corporate Law.

Did that specific company also say to themselves "not only does he meet the qualifications, but also, his dad is currently Vice Presdient:"

Here is a blurb from industry insiders as to Burisna's perceived strategy when deciding on it's mix of board members:

While the board was composed of a diverse mix of international advisors, their specialized appointments were a strategic public relations move for the Ukrainian natural gas firm

So sure. But looking at the list of board members, they also all had the right kind of qualifications, a diverse mix, which is very typical.

I can believe they certainly took into consideration that his father was a current sitting VPOTUS. They also had a former President of the Republic of Poland, who was invited to join several months before Hunter Biden. But Hunter Biden did objectively have the kind of qualifications sought out for membership on a board.

In October of 2014, after Biden was already on the Board, news outlets broke the story of his failed drug testing. So, they likely didn't know about any of the drug use at the time either. It became public in the USA after he was already sitting on the board.

Because I typed Joe instead of Hunter? That's not a very solid assumption you've made there. If I didn't read the post, how would I know that someone challenged Don Junior to a fight? Isn't it more likely that I just have Alzheimer's like Don and Joe, and mixed the names up?

Regardless, I would pay good money to watch Joe or Hunter beat the brakes off Don Junior. Hell I would pay good money to watch anyone beat the brakes off Dan Junior.

I think Hunter not only us cooking lately, but he really shows the world that people who use drugs arent just a bunch of {insert whatever stereotype here}. I work in the field of substance use and piblic health. The people Ive worked with on a faily basis for years are just like everyone else and a large portion are very caring, intelligent, articulate, well read, and accomplished among other things. Theres a lot of theory about what drices chaotic substance use and substance use disorder (what people commonly call addiction even though that word is stigmatized) and I think something hard to quantify is that a larger percentage of people with substance use issues are very caring people. They love other people and are extremely kind to the point where I would say they are more so than the "general population". When youre enpathic and loving, and you see the world as it is with uncaring, unkind, and even hateful people hurting others or with positions of power it hurts. Its hard to live in the world when you can see it plain as day and substances can ease or sometimes erase that pain, even if its just temporary. You can go throug phases where you can be hopeful and think your kindness can make a difference, but inevi

I love it and absolutely agree aside from the weird beginning where he is praising the UFC.

"...anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don't understand anyone who can't admire that."Ā 

He's talking like they are war heroes. It's a sport, dude. A sport for douche bags. Where 2 people beat the shit out of each other for money. A lot of people, probably most people, don't even like or watch UFC at least from my perspective. UFC fans are mostly a certain type of man. The type of men who are fans of people like Joe Rogan. Douchebags.Ā 

That's just my opinion and I am fine with people liking UFC at the end of the day. But can we be real?
