This was obviously a publicity stunt, but we all know if this was Eric Trump or Don Trump Jr the Democrats would be doing the exact same thing.

@SumKindaMunster Ahh SW's most famous "independent" returns 🙄.
No, the Democrats would not be doing the same thing because no-one in the Democrat Party is certifiably insane, unlike MTG (or Kari Lake, Josh Hawley, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Rand Paul...)

@SumKindaMunster i highly doubt that. I know of no democratic congressperson that would stoop so low. They well know that instead of cheering such a display of crassness, their constituents would cry foul. I would. And i am no different than anyone else i know.

@SW-User Ahhh SW's current leftwing scold du jour opines. 🙄
Yeah if it was either of the Trump boys smoking crack, abusing prostitutes, banging his brother's wife, and traveling all over the world selling his fathers influence, you can bet the Democrats would get it on the front page of the New York Times and Washington Post.

@Carla Don't agree and that is based on precedent. People called Trumps wife a "whore" and openly called for the death of his youngest son, Baron, so I feel very confident the Democrats would absolutely make this a meme were it one of the Trump boys.
Carla · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster "people" unknown people on twitter. Or wherever. Not an elected official, in a nationally televised hearing.
And don't get me started on name calling.
And i don't believe what she showed was a meme. It was a still shot from his laptop.

@Carla I never said this was a "meme". I said if the situation was such that it was Eric or Don Trump Jr, the Democrats would make a meme out of it, and get in on the front page of the New York Times or Washington Post.
What upset you about this? That explicit photos were shown? Or that they called out Hunter Biden for soliciting a prostitute? Something else?

@SumKindaMunster they are using the failings of a man, that happens to be the son of a potus, to use against that potus.
Showing those photos was just only for embarrassment, and is cruel. Hunter biden's past escapades have no bearing on the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of joe biden.
It isn't as though he works in govt or has anything to do with this administration.

@Carla So, ok yes, its personally shameful to Hunter Biden, and his father. But Hunter Biden has repeatedly done such things for years, and given chance after chance to clean up his act. Additionally, and you know this is true whether you will acknowledge it or not...
...there was significant evidence that Hunter Biden was brokering his father's influence with overseas business people and promising them political favors in return for money.
This is the most pernicious of corruption, and again, you fall all over yourself to point out when Trump allegedly does such things, but now you want to feel bad for Hunter Biden??? He did this to himself. What idiot takes pictures and photos of himself smoking crack and banging prostitutes and leaves them on a laptop?
It's about time he was called out and investigated.

@SumKindaMunster "promising them political favors in return for money".
First, many use their name to promote themselves for money. What promises were made? And how so could they be kept, when biden was out of office?
I do feel bad for hunter biden. I feel bad for anyone that falls into the tragedy that is addiction. Addictive drugs are bad enough. Add to that a boatload of cash,
trauma, and an obvious penchant towards self destruction and you get the hunter bidens of the world.
How does that deserve investigation? Let me rephrase...how does that desetve more investigation after four years of investigation?

@Carla
Let's get it investigated to find out shall we?
Hunter Biden did this during Biden's vice presidency. It was plausible then and came true obviously that he could and did become President.
I have sympathy for addicts as well. What matters to me here is what Hunter Biden did regarding selling illegal influence of his father. I don't care if he chooses to do drugs but if he is going to use his addiction to weasel out of justice, then I have a problem with that.
I also have a problem with high level, politically connected people like Hunter Biden getting protection from the media and sympathetic Biden supporters such as yourself.
You know as well as I, this guy has blown through chance after chance to get his act together.
Carla, it wasn't investigated. They investigated his tax evasion and illegal weapon use. They didn't investigate what he was doing overseas.

@SumKindaMunster they certainly did. They were investigating his finances. Why, when and where he earned his dollars. The thing they found was the taxes.
They've had the laptop. They had his taxes. How long do you think he should be investigated? You see that what they have, the only thing they have now, is salacious photos. Very weak.

@Carla No, they didn't. Multiple whistle blowers have come forth and detailed the interference in the investigation and the fact that the investigation was hampered by politics.
Carla · 61-69, F
@SumKindaMunster those claims were denied by those being claimed against.
And it is only opinion that these men voiced. What they believe should have been done.
And you do know that joe biden has made no public response. He also left trump's appointee to remain the lead.

@Carla
Source?
It is. And imagine how strongly they must have felt to risk their careers and reputation to let us know of these shenanigans. If they hadn't we never would have known about this.
Why would he? I'm sure his lawyers and advisors have told him not to.
Yes, heard this a MILLION times. What of it? Why is this such a important point to you? Are you implying that the guy is absolutely loyal to Trump because he was appointed to him so there is no way there could be any political interference on this? Please advise, I am curious why this matters so much to you all...
