It really is stupid. Hunter and Joe have both acknowledge his substance abuse issues and, while it is probably embarrassing and hurts to see those pictures, it is a badge of honor that he was able to overcome his addiction and make a life for himself.


It’s humanizing. It’s relatable. Every person in this country is one or maybe two links removed from someone who has dealt with or is dealing with substance abuse.

I’d be upset if Biden didn’t acknowledge this or disowned his son for it. Instead, it’s been the exact opposite. And that’s powerful and emotional.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

I don't expect Biden to disown his son, but I would think we can all just accept that he's a bit of a scumbag instead of some kind of substance abuse martyr

Just to be clear: That top line number is the Georgia number, not the general election number. I'm as bullish as anyone on Biden but I'd be a little surprised if he won Georgia by 7.



What's important too is that both GA Senate races could go to run-offs...Warnock is not expected to have a chance in a run-off as many think the split GOP vote that comes out of Collins/Loeffler will come back together to have a majority GOP vote in a one-on-one against Warnock..

Ossoff is interesting...almost every other poll has shown him down about 3%...if he somehow gets 50%, which I think is not likely, then he wins outright without a runoff...at least that is what I understand...is this incorrect and there can't be a run-off with Ossoff and he can win outright?

I just hope Republicans don't use Hunter Biden's first name in a hypothetical situation to make a point prohibitions of titles of nobility in the US. That would be beyond forgivable. Children of candidates are off limits when it comes to puns.

There is not.

The GOP is pretty comfortable as an opposition party, a minority party, with no principles outside of opposition to other party's principles.

Trump asked if Barr figures into his second term, Donald replies, “I have no comment. I can’t comment on that. It’s too early”, then moves on to “I’m not happy with all the evidence I have, I can tell you that. I’m not happy”

https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/trump-won ... bill-barr/

So that worm Barr is stuck between a fickle master and operating completely outside the law.

Qanon puts out a fabrication that Osama Bin Laden was not killed. What happens next? Trump retweets it.

Buckle up for: 'I don't know him. I've never met him. Could be true.' from Trump

The Q person in the video separately said in a video that the following should be hanged: Obama, Biden, Pinetta, Brennen, and Hiliary. But its OK because she is a christian. (gotta use a small c)

there's a whole litany of stuff, most of it described in a New Yorker article last year. he fairly recently had to get sued in Arkansas to admit paternity of a child and agree to support

It really is stupid. Hunter and Joe have both acknowledge his substance abuse issues and, while it is probably embarrassing and hurts to see those pictures, it is a badge of honor that he was able to overcome his addiction and make a life for himself.

Early voting in my Austin suburb.

Signs for local candidates D and R. Signs for #Biden but none for #Trump.

Downballot candidates may be distancing themselves from the covidiot.

Local wait times between 1-3 hours. All good signs.

No serious news outlet seems to have engaged with the secrets all found on the mystery computer, right? NY Post is a joke. I expect Briebart and ONN likely are running with it. No one else, right? I hope Fox News is avoiding this tripe (of course I was wrong, there is a half dozen stories including deriding 'big tech' for slowing the distribution of the stories).
