Sigh.

The thing that gets me regarding Hunter:

When he was a toddler he was in a car accident. His mother and sister were killed. He was sent to the hospital with, among other injuries, a skull fracture. It was a traumatic brain injury, and one to a developing brain.

His brother is next to him in the hospital with leg injuries, and their dad, wrecked, is commuting & trying to come to terms with a shattered life.

He develops addictions. Lots of people do. People with good parents and bad ones, or no parents. Wealthy and destitute. Did his TBI and the emotional trauma of the accident play a role? Wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibilities.

And then his older brother gets brain cancer and dies.

That’s a lot of stuff to deal with.

Now he’s a 52 year old addict, whose been in and out of treatment programs. His family has fought for him to get and stay clean and sober.

Has he fit be stupid things? Probably. Addicts often do.

Does that mean his father is the head of a nefarious crime syndicate aimed at taking over the world?

No. That would be Trump, an actual criminal with ties to dictators.

Ignoring 1/6 and all the business fraud, any one else with those level classified documents unsecured and without need (even former presidents, who are now private citizens) would already be in jail. They would have been arrested the day the documents were discovered.

Gaslighting. Deflecting. Redirecting. Whatever was on this mysterious laptop, I’ll bet $1000 it wasn’t SCI documents, kept in an unlocked drawer at a social club.

If that group of morally upstanding and righteous R's really, truly and sincerely *don't* want to make it about "the prostitute", then they need to find a way to somehow stop talking about the Republican Party itself, considering that since the Donald ditched Stormy and bedded the GOP, it's spent the past 7 years slouching against every lamp post on every street corner in sight.

I doubt there's enough penicillin in the world to cure that crew of what now ails it.
