Of Course Hunter Biden Is A Suspect, He’s A Degenerate

If you were lead investigator of a double homicide at a golf course where two decapitated bodies were found in a storage closet and you found out that OJ Simpson was on the 7th tee, you’d be smart to start your list of potential suspects with him. He does, after all, have some ties to people who’ve had their heads cut off before, right? The same goes for Hunter Biden when he’s anywhere cocaine is discovered – it might not be his, but there’s more likelihood of it being his than some grandmother from Idaho on a West Wing tour or anyone else.

To be completely honest, I’m not sure I could get my hands on some cocaine now if I had to. When I was younger, I knew some people I could call and probably get it within an hour or two, but not anymore. Now I live in Maryland, where marijuana was just legalized, and I couldn’t tell you where you could buy it anywhere in the state. You’re probably in the same boat, at least on the Coke. 

In other words, we’ve grown up and weeded from our lives the degenerates everyone young has at least circulating on the periphery of their lives at some point, replacing irresponsibility for sanity and stability. At least, most people have.

Hunter Biden didn’t. Not while young, anyway. His life, at least well into his late 40s, was loaded with 1) hookers who were likely human trafficked – look at those videos he made himself of these seemingly eastern European women who look like a cross between strung out and terrified he’ll complain to their pimps about them and tell me they’re participating in things of their own free will. (And why hasn’t anyone in the media attempted to track down any of these women? It might be tough, but it wouldn’t be impossible to find some of them, right? CNN dispatches teams to the houses of random elderly women who post memes they don’t like. It seems like they could spare someone to see if these people are sex slaves if you don’t mind embarrassing the Biden family again.) And 2) degenerates who were either drug dealers, users, or both who had the time and money to roll to strip clubs across the country at any time of day or night. 

That’s not normal. It’s also impossible to happen without pretty much every member of the family noticing. There’s a lot of not coming home for long periods, a bunch of strange phone calls and smells; things go missing. Wives, girlfriends, sisters-in-law who you leave your wives for and turn into girlfriends notice and, if they give a single damn, reach out to other family members pretending not to notice for help. Yet, no one seems to have noticed, or at least cared. 

Eventually, we’re told, Hunter got his act together. And good for him. But in his wake there was a trail of cries for help and attempts to get caught in the hope, seemingly, of embarrassing his father, that it leaves you with no choice but to believe Hunter has deep-rooted issues with his parents that have never, and likely will never, be dealt with.

Why take pictures or film yourself with hookers or smoking crack or driving like a madman while smoking crack unless, if some horrible accident happened or you get arrested, you want those to be discovered for the express purpose of embarrassing your family, mainly your parents? 

Hunter had many of these things on his computers; he sent some to people. He either wanted to get caught or was absolutely convinced he never would, likely from a lifetime of getting away with everything because of who his father was. Again, I’d bet dollars to donuts there are dozens of police officers in Delaware who arrested Hunter Biden throughout the 80s, 90s, and 00s who were ordered to cut him loose and lose all records of the interaction after a “call from dad.” You don’t become a full-blown, historic-level degenerate in your 40s; you work up to it over a lifetime of getting away with it. 

Suspecting Hunter when cocaine is discovered in one of the most secure places on the planet, especially when you know he doesn’t have to be screened the way everyone entering for business does, only makes sense. And when the location of the discovery has changed at least four different times (so far) since the story broke, and knowing the Secret Service was involved in helping Hunter cover up with a gun issue, why would anyone take a face value the idea that the blow was discovered when no Bidens were in the White House?

There comes a point when you do not deserve the benefit of the doubt; when you’ve lied so many times, you should be assumed to be lying when asked for something as simple as the time. That’s where the Biden family is when it comes to the relationship between Hunter and Joe. Does anyone believe Joe never once discussed Hunter’s businesses with him? Joe was a horrible father who widely favored his other son, no doubt, but he’d be just this side of Joan Crawford if he never expressed any interest or curiosity in anything his son had going. Especially when he’s making a fortune off it himself while the kid is clearly in a self-destruction death spiral. 

Even Joe and Jill couldn’t be that bad of parents, could they? 

I don’t know if it was Hunter’s blow, and honestly, the odds are probably against it (someone would’ve likely talked by now), but he can’t be eliminated from the list and, just like OJ at that golf course, should be on top of that list until a reason can be given to remove him from it. The White House’s steadfast refusal to directly say it was not his isn’t a reason to take him off that list; it’s a reason to keep him on.
