Congressman James Comer (R-KY) is going to use his political power to hunt President Biden’s surviving son, and assassinate his pursuit of happiness because Hunter Biden is an easy target in the graceless world that demands his destruction for political sport. Here is what Comer had to say on yesterday’s edition of ‘This Week:’
My hunch is that Jared Kushner belongs in jail. Years ago, right after Trump was elected, I had a gut feeling Kushner would end up in jail. Now, I'm not so sure. The focus on his dirty dealings should intensify. Steve, thanks for your insight and clarity on this topic.
Steve’s is on point. Hunter is an addict and it made him do atrocious things. Trump and Kushner are addicts also, addicted to power and money and have done atrocious acts that HAVE undermined the security of our country and to democracy worldwide. Unfortunately, it isn’t just Donald and Jared, others in the government including FBI agents and numerous elected officials have the same addiction. Change and reform is needed, but most importantly, the need to hold accountable those that dishonor their democratic oath.
One of the greatest moments of Joe Biden's career was during that debacle of a "debate" with Trump. When Trump tried to trash Hunter to score cheap points, Joe said, without hesitation, that he was proud of his son and the way he fought against addiction. It brought tears to my eyes. Every person watching who has a loved one struggling with addiction - which is almost everyone these days, it seems - saw Joe stand up for his son and knew they were seeing how a real man stands up to a bully. It made people who have experienced the struggle of addiction feel seen.
And here come the MAGA bullies, coming after Joe's son again. There really is no bottom for them.
Every column you post is bette than the ones preceding it. You have always had a knack, a way with words, and your description of the thieving grifters has always been spot on, perfect, for the last 8 years. But every time you write about them, your descriptions of them all gets better and better.
As a private citizen, Hunter Biden did not have the access to power that Jared Kushner did as a highly placed "advisor" to the President. The sociopaths elected to the House are out to ruin the life of a private person for their personal gain.
The president’s son Hunter has never held elected or appointed office where he has any influence over policy and as such has no business being in the cross hairs of any congressional committee. The repugnantkins continue to gloss over the majority of the insipid one’s family who were drawn to the White House as if by a super magnet. Anyone that has a legitimate interest in corruption in our government doesn’t have to look far to find it, they paraded in and out of the White House and on and off government jets for 4 years with impunity, all the while banking paychecks paid for by the people they were screwing. The difference between the clown’s clan of misfits, and Hunter Biden couldn’t be clearer, it’s sad really, that those idiot’s have nothing better to do than to demonize the president’s son because they can, they had better stay away from mirrors.
I wonder how these howling Republican stooges that have been slipped into governance will feel if they cause just what they are aiming for - the ruination or death of the son of our President. They remind me of Romans who were comfortable throwing their fellow citizens in with the lions. Everyone probably held their breath but yet were titillated by the prospect of a bloody outcome. If Hunter Biden has broken the law we have courts for justice. What Republican’s are seeking is not justice or revelation of salacious fact to use against the President. They are looking for an ultimate victory. Republicans have lost their way and the dark underbelly of their party is working hard to be victorious, like everyone here is saying, at any cost. Living day after day being assaulted by the lies and thievery of Republicans is excruciating. It feels like a caul of evil is covering our country and some days I feel hopeless.
It's like you, and all of us, are screaming into this foul, fetid, maelstrom of dense and laden wind, stating the obvious and the essential over and over and over like a Sisyphean task made so only by the cemented blinders of the intended recipients....
The fact that you have to state any of this once, much yet with metronomic frequency, is the most revealing of the netherworlds in which we are entrapped
To say there is a double standard of how Hunter Biden and Jared Kushner have been treated and mistreated by the media is an understatement for the ages. Every powerful parent with children want their sons and daughters to succeed on their own abilities. Sometimes they are hired by firms with good intentions and sometimes they are hired thinking it is a channel of access to the powerful parent. This seems to be the case for both Hunter and Jared. Their cases should have been treated and reported on with similar distinction but that would not be news, especially for the Fox News audience.
We all know how the game is played and Fox News, by their own admission is not a news organization. It is a media spin organization for the Republican party and the maga movement. In other words, it exists to cover up all misdeeds of the Republicans and lay blame and attack Democrats and their families.
Once again you have crafted a well written straight speaking accounting of the current circumstances regarding an issue of grave importance to our national conversation..Hunter Biden is as you described..one who is deserving of grace..He has made mistakes that have fucked up his life and is now being made into a distraction from the real danger embodied by the likes of Jarad Kushner and others..
The Republicans do not care to hold to account any of the Trump family or the circle of degenerate grifters within their orbit from the corrupt treasonous conduct that they have been engaged in..What they are doing is a continuation of the attack on our Country and Democracy..Just as you have written time and again..
In other Substack newsletters, to which I am a community member, I’ve remarked that the traitors such as MTG, Lauren Boebert, Ron Johnson et al were all sent back to Congress, along with newly minted members of their ilk..JD Vance et al & George Santos for example, who amazingly is still not in a jail cell..
Our Country is in desperate times..I can’t understand why there has not been the kind of action taken to turn it around..It seems to me there must be some form of “An offer they can’t refuse” to force a reset of the current trajectory that we are on..and back to a place governed by the rule of law, the Constitution and as you have said “Better”. What the Republicans are doing seems to be working..They are moving forward, while it appears the Democrats, the defenders of our Democracy are preaching to their choir watching it happen..

Why I subscribe to your blog. I weep for Hunter.

Do. Not. Ever. Stop. Calling. Them. What. They. Are.

We won’t know all the grifting that happened ever.
There is no equivalency between Hunter and Jared. One is a predator and the other is being preyed upon. More optics for their delusion illusion.
I don’t know how people like Cormer can look at themselves in the mirror.

Lets not forget nepotism issues extends to Judges too. A particular Supreme Court Justice and his spouse come to mind.
