    He tweeted he wasn’t interested in running for office. I do appreciate his backbone when confronting MAGAts though. And that he acknowledges he had a drug problem instead of hiding that truth.

    Now we have a wired article singing his praises? I went from hearing nothing about HB for months to seeing a bunch of posts about his “comeback” and all these owns that he’s getting on social media against conservatives.

    This feels like an astroturf campaign to try to restore his public image.

      if I didn’t know better, I’d say it’s a campaign to put him in office.

      Which to be fair, can’t possibly be a worse idea than putting trump in office. twice.

    Why are we paying attention to this guy again? He’s not exactly an example of hardwork or particular brilliance. Just another disappointing nepo baby who would otherwise have no notable accomplishments if not for their familial connections like Don Jr. or Chelsea Clinton.

      You think the right wing are the only ones that enjoy trolling? Watching right wingers lose their minds every time we give him air-time is entertaining. His opinions aren’t worth much, but every time someone gives him a platform the collective pearl clutching is glorious. I’d like to believe most of us left of center, aren’t delusional enough to think he’s some great philosophical or political genius. But that in itself is kind of perfect, because he’s got no credibility left to destroy, so why not just say what you mean. Let the court jester speak!

    It’s because we all have struggled in our own ways and game recognizes game, we see someone who fought demons and came out the other side and we know what that’s like because we fight them too. Addiction is a great equalizer. Doesn’t matter who your dad is or how much money you have, it will still get you. Sure, it could be argued that some with more resources can get better treatment or that people who no resources can’t get ANY treatment but there is no cure for addiction that money can buy, unlike other diseases.

    Hunter has spent a lifetime as a lobbyist, banking on his daddy’s name. He’s pure trash, and a walking example of everything thats wrong with the US government.
