In recovery we learn the whole point is service.
Showing up for somebody besides yourself.
That’s leadership too.
Setting the tone.
Right now the tone is vengeance and yeah, I get the anger.
But anger isn’t leadership. It’s tyranny.
We can and should reach for each other. Demand better.
Seven years sober. Federal pardon. Half a million people watching him make crack cocaine jokes with more self-possession than most people manage on their best day.
We spent years using Hunter Biden as a political prop. His addiction was a weapon before it was a story. His recovery was ignored because recovery does not move the same needle that relapse does. The caricature was more useful than the person, so the caricature is what we got.
That's over now. He is speaking in his own voice for the first time — unmediated by lawyers, White House optics, or the campaign calculus of people who needed him manageable. What's coming through is something the prop version couldn't carry: actual human texture. Wit without defensiveness. Accountability without performance. A son who watched his father get used and hasn't pretended otherwise.
You don't have to agree with his politics. You don't have to rehabilitate the Biden presidency to receive this honestly. What you owe him — what we owe anyone who survives what he survived and speaks about it without self-pity — is the same thing Patti Davis asked us to give: the recognition that there are a lot of Hunter Bidens in this world. Most of them never get heard. He finally is.
That's worth something. Receive it that way.
🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Election Security experts are now recommending recounts in the 2024 Presidential election. Making claims of possible breach of voting machines. This letter was sent to Vice President Kamala Harris. 🚨
The thing I am struggling with is Joe Biden has just as much immunity as Trump does.
Why won’t he use some political capital and executive power to save this fucking country?
Tell me again why Matt Gaetz gets rewarded with an AG nomination after ‘allegedly’ raping an underaged girl, sex trafficking a minor & requesting a pardon - but Al Franken was forced to resign over a joke photo.
There are stories popping up all over the place about people now regretting their votes, as they learn that trump's tariffs or deportation policies will DIRECTLY affect them.
"Oh, you mean WE pay the tariffs?"
"But I'M not a criminal."
Alas, my field of fucks is now barren.
I have NONE to spare.
So the brain worm serial cheater who decapitated a whale & dumped a dead bear is gonna be in charge of our nation’s health and the chick who shot her dog and her goat and lied about meeting with Kim Jong Un is gonna be in charge of our homeland security.
We are living The Onion.
