No person with a loved one who has suffered through addiction could feel anything but empathy for Hunter Biden and his family. “There are a lot of Hunter Bidens in this world, people who fell in way over their heads, who long for someone to believe they can recover and construct their lives differently,”

The Biden’s, who shun a granddaughter, passed?

The Biden’s, who used the power of the government to let the statute of limitations protect Hunter, passed?

Remember this is the partisan author’s opinion and that opinions are like a—holes, everyone has one.

The first sentence initiates the attempted con. I suppose that people who believe everything they read in the newspaper will get conned.

I tried to read this even though I knew what was coming. As you have guessed, I couldn’t get too far into this whining drivel. These commies always keep trying to get something positive about bad news for their favorite communist. Oh well, I have more important things to do today than read something in the WaPo.

Rubin used to pretend to be a conservative, and claimed to value the rule of law.
Clearly, DC she was just a fraud, playing an assigned role. She's completely exposed her evil, corrupt, ethics-free true nature. A total political whore.

Jennifer Rubin, like Nicole Wallace, et al, is the literal definition of a tool. She's a useful idiot for the left who thinks she's really deep and important because she's getting pats on the head from "all the right people". They'll come to an end of usefulness for her and she will, like so many dolts before her, be discarded. She's just one of the flavors of the month right now.

Amazing that someone so addle-brained can be a star columnist. My horse barn had less manure than this column.

Couldn’t make it all the way through this drivel. These days, I can only shake my head as I realize that liberals live in an entirely different world, with their own language, rules, and reality. But, this article has served the purpose of the guilty verdict in the Hunter Biden case, and that is for liberals to be able to crow that the justice system is not rigged. They know what the American people see in the Trump lawfare persecutions. They desperately needed a narrative that dispelled that notion. That’s the sole reason. And, that’s why, out of everything he could’ve been charged with, that also implicated his father, they went for the gun charge. They are as shrewd as can be, and evil to core.

Sorry, don't see that at all. The Bidens could have got out front acknowledged Hunter had an addiction problem and used the presidential podium to warn about the dangers of drugs. Instead, they never talked about it, had the media cover it up, and even refused to acknowledge a granddaughter. The Bidens handled it wrong in every way possible. Why? Because half their supporters want drugs legalized, and some of the Democrats are probably on cartel payrolls.
What's really sad is the author of this article is still covering for Biden.
Meanwhile a sizable chunk of the American populace blindly believes every word that comes out of lefty mouths.

Sympathy for Hunter Biden? Or any of the Biden Family?
I and my family have suffered through life without betraying our friends, family, or each other. We aren't rich, but we know whom we trust and love.
The Biden can discuss their hardships and responses in the afterlife. They and their "friends" can ride a sinking ship into the Maianna Trench for all I care.

No writer with any self-respect stamps a byline on dishonest garbage like this. Rubin has no credibility.

No greater illustration of the two-tier justice system; Anyone who is not politically-connected is sent to prison for buying, selling, using, possessing cocaine. A Biden get's ''treatment'' which doesn't seem to ever work.
And the son of Senator/Vice President/President Biden who advocates strict gun control for all of us peasants, doesn't seem to think that it applies to his family members. Lying on background check paperwork is a Federal felony. Abandoning a gun across the street from a school is also a felony. These are laws that Biden imposed on the rest of us, but wants to exempt his own family members. Biden also constantly whines about the wealthy ''not paying their fair share'', yet here is his son evading taxes on millions of dollars of ill-gotten gains from foreign sources. Again, the rules don't apply to a Biden.
The press feeling sorry for this family of criminal trash is getting rather old.

A good question is why did Hunter need such a handgun in the first place? Obviously to enhance his safety when he was engaging in the criminal activity of purchasing illegal drugs from criminal drug dealers.
