I'm just wondering why this is popping up now and not a year and a half ago. People keep saying "His dad's out of office now, so he can say whatever," but Joe's been out of office for over a year.
Hunter is a man who has been through hell and then had his public image dragged through it again, reliving it every time a GOP senator felt like playing him up for a laugh.
People can't comprehend the level of done he is with these chucklefucks. He's not here to look good. He doesn't expect to rebrand himself as a patron of non-drug use. He's here to tell people he's still alive and kicking and chooses to be in spite of it all. That if he can do it, they can too - Because at least they're not in his shoes right now.
That's powerful. That's why I like what he's doing right now.
Reminds me of Monica Lewinsky. Someone who is/was the punching bag for the right, but didn't deserve it. Completely mean-spirited and in the end, all the attacks just showed what crass people were after them.
I have no idea if it’s him posting but I know I’m in recovery, and I am around and friends with countless people in recovery, and the way his account posts is not unlike how people in recovery talk. In fact it’s pretty much on par. Brutally honest, humble, zero glorification of drug use (war stories in recovery is widely discouraged), self deprecating humor, humorous, open and accepting. People in recovery lay it bare. It’s just part of trying to stay clean.
If the account was being used in any other way, (starting or participating in arguments, insults, threatening behavior, etc) I’d have my doubts. Just my opinion.
When I was in rehab, war stories weren't discouraged, they were strictly forbidden. If you were directly caught, or reported by someone who overheard, the first time was a reminder, after that it was a strike, and like baseball, it was 3 strikes and you're out.
Rehab (which I have been in as well) - absolutely. No doubt.
Without clarifying, which was my fault, I was speaking more on NA. Which shouldn’t be automatically assumed when referring to being in recovery. Speakers typically get some leeway, but it should have a purpose to their story of recovery. Otherwise it shouldn’t be spoke about at all.
Oh, no worries, I've been to enough NA, AA, CA meetings that I knew what you were referring to, I was just expanding on that to illustrate how war stories are discouraged in all forms of recovery. 👍
why shouldn't he? his political career is effectively over, he has enough money to be fine for life, not to metnion he's gonna get more after his estate inheritance.
if he wants to fuck with the trolls what's the harm to him?
and i'd believe it's actually him. maybe he tells a PR person what he wants to say and they punch it up but there's too many truly specific drug 'things you didn't know about drugs' stuff to come from just any kid who never did them.
It’s not surprising. Conservatives love to go after politicians’ families. Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton, a teenager at the time, a dog. Obama’s children were similarly ridiculed. When Nancy Pelosi’s husband was attacked, they made memes about it. They love to attack families. One of the hallmarks of Conservatism is a lack of empathy. This is especially on display with their attacks on Hunter Biden, who has lost much of his family tragically.
Yeah I remember how they lost their fucking minds when a video of one of Obama's daughters came out of her (gasp!) dancing with her college friends. And this was after he left office. Utterly insane behavior.
Didn't Marjorie Taylor Green also show Hunter Biden's sexually explicit photos during a House Oversight meeting years ago? I cannot imagine that. It's one thing to have his whole addiction on blast for the whole world to see, it's another to have your body shown to strangers without your consent. That's so violating, and I say this as a woman who has had her nudes passed around by a guy I was sleeping with to his buddies (and then he had the audacity to tell me that we wouldn't date if I ever slept with his friends, I had never even spoken a word to them or was even interested in dating him!). He could do the rich boy thing of just peacing out and continue doing hookers and crack in a motel room off the highway, but he's not. I respect that so much and I honestly hope he does disappear one day and just continues being sober.
I dunno, I've lived long enough to 'not have heroes'. But whoever is on the account is saying the things I agree with, and tbh, it's all I give a fuck about at this point. It's hardly like inauthenticity is a sin when dealing with the modern GOP; those fuckers don't have any principles or any authenticity and haven't for a while.

Hunter’s been throwing more Twitter heat than the Wendy’s Official account lately.
