No surer way to get people to stop doubting one's mental competence than to have your coke-head son start attending work meetings.

Yeah, see it's hard to believe that his former addict son was invited to a family meeting, right?Who does that?

Is that what you got out of the article?

"Hunter Biden has joined meetings with President Joe Biden and his top aides since his father returned to the White House from Camp David, Maryland, on Monday evening, according to four people familiar with the matter. The president's son has also been talking to senior White House staff members, these people said. [...] While he is regularly at the White House residence and events, it is unusual for Hunter Biden to be in and around meetings his father is having with his team, these people said. They said the president's aides were struck by his presence during their discussions. [...] Another person familiar with the matter said the reaction from some senior White House staff members has been, "What the hell is happening?""

Perhaps you missed the 'former' in former addict. You don't strike me as the unforgiving sort. I know a good Rabbi if you need to talk.... ;) #8 | Posted by Corky

Point is the "ex"-druggie who was just convicted of multiple felonies probably shouldn't be hanging with his dad at work meetings. Assuming that optics matter in a presidential election.

Not that optics would matter to Hunter, of course, he's just greasing the wheels for his eventual pardon.

At least you know his motives... most people just assume them. #10 | Posted by Corky

Yes, it comes from my extensive education at the NSS [No Sheehet Sherlock] School for "Ex"-Druggie studies.
