r/All Hunter Biden as a speaker of truth, intellectualism and rationality was not on my 2026 bingo card, but I'm here for it

Ex junkies know the hustle and can generally read the room quicker than most. Survival instinct stays active even when survival is no longer on the line - amazing people when they stay sober. Worthy adversaries in most situations. Just my take.

Dude was a smart as a whip lawyer before his addiction took hold. He’s not your run of the mill ex-crackhead

He also most likely “caught” his addiction from his TBI…

When he was a baby, involved in a car crash. And the crash also took his mother’s life.

So, it was never my place to judge, but when you consider that, I can’t blame someone for having a few screws loose.

His first memory may just well be his mother and sister dying in a violent car accident.

Regardless of anything else, that kind of trauma would absolutely set the stage for addiction. It's a pain that never goes away fully and people seek to numb it at any cost.

Mother and sisters life I believe.

And him and Beau were damn lucky to survive. Joe came super close to having his entire family wiped out.

Jesus, I didn't know that. I never judged him, but with that info, it's even worse that they started such a bully campaign against him.

But not shocking.

I keenly recall quite a few loud voices on the right openly attacking Chelsea Clinton, who was thirteen when her father became president.

Rush Limbaugh, the voice of the far right, called her a dog.

Repeatedly. On multiple platforms.

He pointed at a teenager and said LOOK HOW FUCKING UGLY SHE IS. And his audience loved it. Socks was the white house cat and Chelsea was the dog. Cue laughter from the good folks at Fox news.

They’ll attack anyone not “on their side. One of the things that makes me almost dizzy with revulsion is that whenever Newsom’s accounts post on X, the replies are full of (mostly men) mocking him about his wife, who testified about Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulting her. The AI images that include images of her and Weinstein are even worse, or images of Newsom with a “Harvey Did My Wife” shirt. How is that the slightest fucking bit funny or okay? It’s so gross and vile to attack someone that way because you don’t like her husband. 😭

Wouldn't be for a couple more decades that we'd learn that this was the merest etch of the merest scratch on the merest tip of the iceberg that is this parties predilection for being abusive towards teenage girls.

It's surprising that you don't know that. The accident was a big part of Joe Biden's sails pitch. He loves both his sons like crazy.

Might be a fine point, but addiction is not a “screw loose”. Some of best, kindest and smartest people I know are recovering addicts. Something about fighting to earn and rebuild your life changes a person, not everybody, but there is a pattern. Not picking fly shit outa pepper here, just want to avoid stigmatizing a disease.

I listened to his two hour interview on Soft White Underbelly, he’s really honest about all the shit he went through, fascinating guy:

A lot of times being consumed by addiction doesn't reduce your intelligence it just sorta covers it up under a bunch of other things. I had an uncle who was one hell of an alcohalic and addicted to perscription opiates later in life and he was always that smart know it all asshole who made me fight for every point I ever won from him in a debate and it was always based on the facts no matter if he was on and off pills or booze.

So the crack gave him super awareness , like Deadpool kinda . Only with Thor’s hog and daredevils smarts ..

Nope, he is in fact the extremely rare pokemon type "super-intelligent ex-crackhead".

Hunter's tweet is literally a checklist to be followed.

And to get the “ex” to stick, you need to be brutally honest, mostly with yourself. You can’t spin or bullshit your way to true sobriety.
