Congratulations on your teaching gig, Damon, although I will miss seeing your posts in my inbox three days a week.

I might be able to abide conservative handwringing about Hunter Biden if most conservatives had shown equal concern over the far more serious grifting of Trump's three oldest kids, Jared Kushner, and (of course) Trump himself during Trump's reign of error. It's sheer projection on Trump's part to call Joe head of the Biden Crime Family as the evidence of serious crimes stacks up against him. Hunter is certainly an unsavory character, but the GOP's "investigations" into him are simply a distraction technique from the crimes of their likely nominee.

I agree with you about Hunter Biden. Unlike Trump, President Biden has not interfered with any attempts to hold his son accountable for any criminal consequences, and he has kept his distance from the DOJ for this reason. He loves his son, but his son does not occupy political office or any official position in the Biden administration.

The Republicans are obviously going after Hunter Biden to retaliate against Trump’s impeachments, and they don’t want people to recall Trump placed his incompetent daughter and son-in-law into office as presidential advisers, and that Jared was originally denied a security clearance but Trump overrode the decision. Jared also went back and amended his security disclosures several times after omitting relevant information.

Congratulations on your new position!
