The "Biden Crime Family" wasn't true. But, it does seem pretty obvious that Hunter Biden tried to take advantage of his father's political position in order to enrich himself. Joe Biden may not have approved, or have been involved in any way. And, the degree of possible "corruption" seems quaint compared with the absolute bullshit that the Trump family is doing. But, you can't just say that the "Biden Crime Family" was made out of thin air. It was anchored on something real, even though it was blown way out of proportion.

    Nonsense, many presidential kids have traded on their famous names, that wasn't unique to Hunter.

    Jenna Bush's first job was as a on-air host for The Today Show, leapfrogging over literally thousands of other far more qualified people, simply because she was a Bush. She gets a multi-million dollar a year contract, and nobody says a word.

    And let's not forget that the Trump children are making BILLIONS in incredibly corrupt deals with the worst people and worst regimes in the world, but yeah, let's talk about Hunter Biden, who tried to cut huge deals, but was largely unsuccessful. He's certainly been out-earned by plenty of Right Wing Nepo Babies.

    Nobody said it was unique to hunter, but it's still corruption.

    A self-serving Nepo Baby does not a "Crime Family" make.

    Yes, but it's why the "Biden Crime Family" rhetoric started. It didn't arise out of thin air.

    So what? It wasn't an "interpretation," or a personal opinion, it was a total lie, and they knew it as they were inventing it.

    Hunter was only trying to trade on his family name like every other rich person on the fucking planet, and he didn't even do it well. If they didn't have that nonsense to hang their propaganda hat on, they would have gone after him for parking tickets, and still called them the Biden Crime Family.

    There was never one shred of evidence that the Biden family was involved in any sort of crime at all, as opposed to the Bush's, which have had legal problems since Neil's corrupt savings & loan debacle back in the 80s, as well as Jeb and George conspiring to steal the 2000 election. There's a crime family for you.

    And of course, the worst occupants of the White House has been the Trump Crime Family, which really does fit every definition of organized crime, including hundreds of civil.amd criminal convictions, and many more to come.

    But again, let's pretend that Hunter doing what literally every other rich kid on the planet does, is worthy of dubbing his entire extended family as an organized crime family.

    Stop trying to rationalize, and repeat, that slanderous MAGA propaganda.
