Oh look, it’s the opinion of someone I don’t fucking care about.

Fuck off, hunter. You’re a fucking asshole. Nobody likes you. You were unjustly politically targeted, yes, but you’re still an asshole and an idiot.

"My Hunter is not an asshole. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, and an asshole, but he is not a medical expert." - Joe Biden (probably)

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

God damn the guy is an idiot... blaming a sleeping pill doesn't help at all, because he damn well knew when he'd be on the debate, either he used the pills regularly, and knew how they effected him, or he hadn't, and he was a complete dumbass trying out a new medication right before the most important public visit for his campaign.

I find it completely impossible to believe that before the democratic primary, that half of states didn't even bother letting happen, that advisors around biden could tell, that he was at diminished capacity at least 10% of the time... of which, no you can't be a good president and not be ready to be at 100% at any given moment.

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Compared to what we have in 2025, Joe Biden was a very, very good president. I mean, he had brain rot to be sure, and was nothing much even before the rot set in, but compared to what we have, a 90% presence would be a relief.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, not saying biden wasn't a breath of fresh air compared to trump... President has 2 main responsibilities, put competent people in charge of the important things... and don't humiliate the nation on camera or in front of other diplomats etc... and biden did one of those pretty darn well... and was considerably less bad than trump at the second. (though I'd hesitate to say he was better than, a random person off the street might be, just better than the petulant man child pedophile that beat him).

Compared to what is arguably the worst president in the history of the entire country even W looks good.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

This is not helpful, Hunter....

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Fuck what NBC has to say about it. Just watch the interview for yourself here.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I posted it a while ago to /politicalvideos

Even knowing it was a small community I thought it would take off.

But to be honest I only made it like half an hour. I'll eventually watch all of it, but a three hour long interview is pretty intense.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely not. There is no remote chance I'm going to watch a 3 hour interview with a failson who's only claim to significance is being born to a powerful man and then living his life so poorly he became a liability.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's surprisingly insightful, well thought, and down to Earth. If you want to stay ignorant that's your choice.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

He's a nobody failson, there are people who get interviewed because they have thought deeply or accomplished things that may be worth 3 hours of deep conversation. Not the random child of wealth and privilege.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

At least he didn't go on some racist rant and then blame it on ambien

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Ok, but for Hunter a “sleeping pill” is just slang for not smoking crack…
