The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

With Hunter's sordid reputation one would think he'd be kept 'under wraps' till some of the stink rubbed off instead off flaunting him in public, but then President Biden is proud of First Son.

I couldn't care less about Hunter. But I'm sure Joe cares a lot, especially since his other son died of brain cancer. My brother died very young, and my dad (who previously was mostly absent) suddenly was there. It's family. Good or bad, Hunter is his family. I suspect he doesn't care about public perception when it comes to his family. And I can excuse it if he has Hunter attending functions that are appropriate for a first-offspring. I can't excuse any abuse of power, or law-breaking. I don't care who you are.

Other than his laptop, I know very little about Hunter. And, until he crosses into illegal activity, I don't care. And I still don't care about the illegal stuff as long as his dad doesn't intervene on his behalf. If he commits a crime, he should be prosecuted just like anyone else, with a presumption of innocence. His dad is my business (i.e. my POTUS). His offspring, if they aren't into political affairs, aren't. Same with Trump. Tiffany was none of my business because she stayed out of the political side of the family. Ditto Baron. Jared was my business because he was an actual government official appointed by Trump.
