“The discovery occurred on Nov. 2, six days before the hotly contested midterm elections.” Then was kept secret for months.
But here’s what’s weird: If you were worried about the midterms, why not wait until after election day and look at the office then? https://t.co/rGtOfEUWve

Can’t say Hunter hasn’t achieved social equality in this anecdote. That is actually one of his appealing qualities. He’s not to snobby to hang with the homeless!

NYT story high point (and example of how Hunter’s degeneracy’s now his defense): Hunter wrote letter roping in Joe “because he was afraid he would lose his lease after security cameras spotted him sneaking a homeless person into the building so they could smoke crack together.” https://t.co/qchQKBMvIC

Credit to Biden, but I learned (from your own substack) that the law requiring FDA to authorize OTC hearing aids passed in 2017 (a Warren & Grassley initiative), signed by Trump. Biden’s role was to goose the FDA into actually writing the regulation. https://t.co/KXzdJPTVqH

First time farce, second time farce.
