As long as the coke-fiend daddy's boy stays out of politics then who cares what he does. I dont understand why Hassan bothered with this interview.

Dude barely made a mill selling paintings over the 4 years iirc. Trump mare that in illegitimate earnings last week.

<.< It’s weird that this is news while the entire trump family is grifting like their lives depend on it.

[-] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 18 points 14 hours ago

Mehdi does a lot of holding right wing people's feet to the fire too. Hunter Biden was just having a moment recently and it wouldn't be reasonable to not hold him to the same standard. I believe his people booked the interview after congress started barking about grilling him again. Nothing wrong with reminding people that yes, this guy is a PoS, but an irrelevant PoS and a congressional witch hunt doesn't change that he's a distraction.

Well, maybe not like their lives depend on it, but the window of time for them to do their smash-and-grab is not going to be infinite.

Either other cons will shut them out of it because they are jealous or this shitty admin will have to at least leave office, and his family may have to flee the country.

I for one, will not, vote for this Hunter Biden guy when he’s on the ballot this November.

[-] artyom@piefed.social -4 points 12 hours ago

Unless you're privy to some sort of information that I'm not, he will not be on the ballot.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

If you watched the interview y'all are mocking just to defend a Biden, he talks about his presidential ambitions.

The man’s effectively a nobody at this point, he’s old news and not politically relevant to anything going on.

[-] artyom@piefed.social -4 points 11 hours ago

He's politically-relevant to the current state of the Democratic party, a fucked up election, and corruption of Joe Biden. Democrats repeatedly ignored his crimes and conflicts of interest as a nothingburger. Dems being tribalistic about "one of their own" instead of simply holding him accountable did them no favors.

[-] frostedtrailblazer@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 hours ago

Biden and Hunter are old news. They’re not relevant to anything that’s going to matter to the current or future Democratic Party. Hunter especially is not relevant given he’s not even a politician. Whatever legal issues Hunter, the private citizen, has are between him and the court as far as I am concerned.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 0 points 9 hours ago

I disagree. The issue is not Hunter himself but the way Dems handled his situation.

[-] blartcap_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 hours ago

Why should a political party take responsibility or control over someone who isn't on any of their ballots just because he's the family member of someone who is? Seems like a pretty dangerous thing to advocate for.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 0 points 9 hours ago

They don't have to take responsibility, they just have to stop defending him.

[-] blartcap_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Where did you see the Democratic party making it official party business to assume responsibility for Hunter Biden in order to defend him?

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago

That's not what I said. Read again.

[-] blartcap_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 7 hours ago

Disagree with how I read it all you like but I'm not far enough off from what you believe you must have said to avoid answering the question.

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I literally said it was not official party business and then you asked me where I saw that it was official party business. You're all the way off.

Well, I'm not surprised the point sailed over, but oh well.

So let's attack Biden over his son's medical issue while ignoring the billions that Trump's family is making.

So let’s attack Biden over his son’s medical issue while ignoring the billions that Trump’s family is making.

I was happy to cheer for him when his greatest flaw was his severe drug addiction, and loved watching him clap at conservatives perl clutching etc... over him.

But this meme coin grift. He's litterally burned the leg he was standing on. and it's a fricking stupid reason to do it because it's going to flop big time because.. 1. people on the left aren't as quick to jump into a ponzi grift like meme coins. 2. No one will ever imagine the biden's taking power again, and thus no millionare with half a brain is going to be investing in this coin for hte purposes of political influence.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Dude, you don't have to pick! You can hate two different kinds of corruption at the same time.

Also there is no medical condition that makes you sign onto the board of a Ukrainian energy company. That's rare even for crackheads.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Liberals are just as bad as conservatives. It's a team sport to them, and if you dare point out a flaw about their team they get defensive and accuse you of being on the other team.
