I am sorry, but right now, I could not possibly hate some on the right more. The abuse that they have put Hunter Biden through is near criminal. Like many of us, Hunter has had his troubles, who hasn’t? His mother died at a young age, he had to live up to being the son of Delaware’s favorite man “Amtrack Joe,” the most popular Senator in DC. His brother was almost too perfect and then died of cancer, almost like a martyr to what Barack Obama called “the measure of a man.” No one is feeling sorry for the way Hunter was brought up, but there is a great deal of disgust as to how he’s been treated throughout this election season.

And it’s all for one reason. The GOP literally had nothing else.

They don’t know how to run a campaign on “our guy is better than their guy,” “look at all the good we’ve done,” none of that – all they do is attack and tear someone down. They still want to tear Bill Clinton down, as if that somehow matters to any of us. But no one has taken more abuse than Hunter Biden.

Let’s be clear about one thing, Hunter Biden should not have taken that Board position on Burisma, even though it was perfectly legal. Joe Biden was leading the Western World’s effort to get rid of the corrupt prosecutor who wouldn’t look into Burisma (the GOP has it exactly backward, they like to infer that Hunter’s presence protected Burisma because Joe went after the prosecutor looking into it, it’s the exact opposite. Burisma was corrupt and so was the prosecutor, who wouldn’t look at it at all.). But that’s it, that’s all they have, some poor judgment – though legal – on making money, that and living a human life, ups and downs, struggles with substance abuse in the military. The same people making these criticisms support the Trumps.

Now look at this, from Newsmax “reporter” John Cardillo:

Does this look like an appropriate father/son interaction to you? pic.twitter.com/XDMIsgjUKI

That is called unconditional love you stupid-ass fck …ffff …. and that is what keep families together who have endured tragedy you’ll never know (for which you should be thankful), nor love like you’ll never know. Try to imagine a picture like that of Trump with anyone BUT some 20-something woman looking for cash. Trump would have one hand on her breast and the other going up her inner thigh, there is no other way to picture it.

But to answer your question, John, yes – it looks more than appropriate, it looks like what every son deserves but all too few get. It shows why Joe is a better person than Donald who’s never once hugged his sons and you fcking know it. So if we want to talk about f-up sons, let’s maybe start with the ones for which there are no pictures of them being hugged or loved by their father. Let’s talk about a president father of a teen – Barron – who went to a World Series game, was Barron there? Nope. Trump went to a rocket launch in Florida, was Barron there? Nope. Does manly man, Don Jr. ever take Barron camping with his boys, teach him to fish, since Barron’s “dad is so busy?” Nope. Never happens.

This stuff, this shit right here, this is the difference between being for Biden versus being a Trumper MAGA head. The Biden people see this picture and see a man, a real man, two real men, trying to live life to the fullest and its richest, with love. The MAGA heads see it and snigger as if there’s something homo-erotic about it and “joe.” They prefer coked-up Don Jr. whose five kids are sitting at home wondering why daddy left and see Don Jr. as some sort of “family values” man and an “appropriate” picture of a man.

Fck you, “John.”

****

Sorry, Y’all, but I have a soft spot in my heart for affectionate fathers because I think it’s damned important and try to be one.
