"They are trying to, in their most illegitimate ... but rational way, they're trying to destroy a presidency," he said in the episode of Moby Pod.

"What they're trying to do is they're trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle, and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way," he said, adding that they want him to relapse to drug abuse.

"It's not about me," he continued, adding that "these people are just sad, very, very sick people that have most likely just faced traumas in their lives that they've decided that they are going to turn into an evil that they decide that they're going to inflict on the rest of the world". He also accused conservative news outlets of "harassing" him.

Mr Biden added: "I'm gonna survive it clean and sober, is because I am not gonna let these [expletive], OK, use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never gonna be OK, never to be trusted, they're all degenerates."

i didn't care who Hunter was before Joe became President, and i still don't give a single fuck.. Republicans are nothing but fucking trolls, and they can all fuck off to Russia any time they like, if that's the kind of place they want to call home.. they can live in a country full of trolls like them..

and if you mindlessly vote for Republicans because you think you're a Republican, you can starve for all i care

It's all performative nonsense. They literally have nothing else. They definitely don't believe their right-to-life bullshit because Republicans have mistresses that have had abortions. They don't believe in their gay bashing. They still do it because they have nothing else. It gets them into office so they can sell out the public interests as usual. They believe in nothing.

Hunter Biden is also 53 years old. This isn't some juvenile runaway with a cushty job provided by his dad, he's some old dude. At what point is Joe Biden no longer responsible for him?

Yeah, I don’t think he’s going to get much of a defense given the only people who know who he is are over-the-top obsessed with him. I mainly know him as just another (Anthony) wiener in the soup making everything worse.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
