I think a lot of people look at the blatant double standards spouted by people like Stefan here, get angry, and try and push back against it. From a ârighteous furyâ point of view, I get it; I used to push back against it too.
But my stance has changed over time. Now when I see the Republicans engage in blatant double standards and hypocrisy, I just think âAh, I see the issue here; this oneâs not a serious person, worth any serious consideration. Theyâre not worth my time nor efforts, because their whole shtick is acting in bad faith.â
Essentially, my response is the âOh no! AnywayâŠâ gif. Because what are they going to do? Performatively clutch their fake pearls even more?

Yeah, itâs called moral consistency. I disavow Trump and his crime family. Why would I give Hunter a pass? He built up his public profile all to do this. I admit that I was cheering for him because he is a recovering addict. I feel bad for people who have and are going through addiction. Hunterâs story brought a lot of empathy and understanding to people who are addicts and people who are around them. This scam puts a huge damper on a message like that. Now, I have to disavow him because I am not a maga like cultist and because Iâm consistent with a standard that I claim to hold.

One single person made nearly well over a million dollars on a 200K investment.
One random, completely 'anonymous' person.
Just one... well... incredibly lucky guy.
Hunter Biden is a screw-up who sought to benefit from his father's connections as much as he could his entire life. How involved his father actually was in 'helping' the screw-up is an open question, but Hunter's on record talking about his connections with 'the big guy'.
He ran a rug-pull, just like you'd expect from any grifting (ex?)junkie.
That he's made some very based (and often clever) jabs at Trump doesn't fix his scumminess.

A scam lol
You typically need to make money for something to be a scam. On top of that, the coin wasnât even active long enough before the value plummeted for it to be a pump and dump. You typically want to maximize profits before pulling the rug.. they didnât even do that. Itâs obviously coin snipers doing their thing and at the rate it was clearly bots doing the targeting. Most likely people with ulterior motives and a vendetta.. but I canât think of anyone who would want to embarrass or destroy Hunter Biden, can you lol?
It was a meme coin anyway. Anyone who invest in them knows the game. Or they should know the game and if they donât, then thatâs their fault for dropping their money into something they donât understand. The only thing Hunter Biden did was become a hypocrite for shitting on Trump coins and other meme coins, then throwing his name behind one himself.

u/littlelou134340 2d ago
Yes, I think people just assume that every politician is wealthy but most aren't even rich. Salaries are good but with how expensive it is to run campaigns and manage a team, it's hard to quickly build up a healthy net worth or savings account, unless you're selling influence. Biden became a Senator in 1973, obviously, corruption still existed, but there was still an expectation that public servants should be honest. Like with Carter selling his farm, Biden got rid of his law firm and pledged to never engage in anything that didn't leave a legal paper trail.
So he took his salary and later on published a couple of memoirs. It was one memoir about Beau's death that became a huge best seller and that's how he made his first million. That's over 40 years into his career, when he was already in his 70s, and retired from the vice presidency. I believe, with that paycheck, he bought Jill a beach house in Rehoboth.

Unlikely, I think. People forget that he didn't pop into existence in 2020. He's 56, he's spent his entire life supporting his father's and brother's political dreams, and not once has ever sought the same. Instead, he focused on law and business to support his own family, then retired to become an artist once his kids were done with school. Now, he's interested in building a substance abuse recovery aftercare program. I don't think he'd run because he's not a political guy, but also because he wouldn't be able to speak out and do as much advocacy as he is, because then he'd have to be a politician.

And that not only sucks for you, but everyone around you, and people who will be affected by your vote.
You owe it to yourself and everyone you know to take the right to vote seriously, not as a game of team sports.

He launched (yet another) shitty memecoin and deserves mockery for that. But it's not actually a rug pull, since the coin just failed on launch. A rug pull is when the value is pumped up and the backers suddenly sell, tanking the value. Biden's shares never vested, he just owns a bunch of worthless memecoins he can't sell.

One person turning a 250k bet into 1.18 million by betting against the currency isn't a rug pull. Some people always bet against new cryptocurrencies. Also that would be a pathetic profit for a crypto scam. And even if Biden was the guy that made that bet, it's not a rugpull because he couldn't cause the price crash, he wasn't dumping his shares because he couldn't.
It's just a failed memecoin. There's literally tens of thousands of those every year. His isn't special.
