It is why he doesn't drink.

He is doing the right thing. Supporting his son but not running in to fix everything.

How do you think Hunter has stayed out of trouble, out of jail, from being homeless, up to this point? He’s a crack addict. I know you are not a child, don’t pretend Joe hasn’t been fixing everything up to this point. Joe even paid for Hallie to go to rehab after Hunter got her on crack. Hunter’s adult child and her husband live in the white house with Joe and Jill- and you have the nerve to say Joe isn’t fixing everything.

Yo

DP. You think this makes him sound bad?

Privileged, wealthy white family with political power uses said power and wealth to keep law breaking son from facing consequences regular Americans are subject to?

He was found guilty and you're complaining about how he's not facing consequences? If he were a regular American he wouldn't have even been prosecuted.

If he was a regular American he would have been arrested long ago for crack cocaine possession. He would be homeless or dead.

So many families struggle with an addicted member of the family. So many. And many don't manage to get sober and end up in very bad circumstances.

I think the right thinks it helps trump to keep flogging the addicted son, but it is the opposite. It makes trump look kinda like a jerk and it makes Biden more relatable.

This whole saga has been the opposite of relatable and I say this as someone with a family tree full of alcoholics.

Yeah, but democrats want us to feel sorry for a white privileged family with wealth and power and pretend the laptop is fake.

I’m a Democrat. I’m not sure what this infatuation is with this laptop. But I also don’t have much sympathy, even as I have family members dealing with addiction and substance abuse. The reason I have little sympathy is that most people that lived like Hunter did would have serious legal consequences a lot sooner. Somehow the tragedy here is supposed to be that he got clean and shouldn’t face legal consequences. Most people that were serious addicted like him would not have that luxury and instead would be hitting rock bottom detoxing in a jail cell. Hunter should consider himself lucky.

And for the love of Mary please go after all the other addicts guns. No addict should have a gun.

That's what GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) seems to be implying with his post on X, “Hunter might deserve to be in jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it.” He added, “There are millions of marijuana users who own guns in this country, and none of them should be in jail for purchasing or possessing a firearm against current laws.”

He is wrong. An untreated, using addict is not of sound mind and should not have a gun.

It is illegal for good reason.

Good look finding them, rounding them up, and charging them.

Luck has nothing to do with it. Budget for it and do it.

Donald Trump reportedly admitted to possessing a gun in Florida during his pre-sentencing interview on Monday — another potential felony that has the potential to violate the terms of his release. It is a federal offense to possess a firearm or ammunition as a convicted felon.

He should be charged and tried (again) for these crimes.

Trump's older brother from the wealthy trump family died from alcoholism. Is such a thing not worthy of sympathy regardless of the bank account ?

There is no sympathy ever displayed here for any member of the Trump family. Zero. Negative sympathy for the Trumps here. In fact, people here go out of their way to attack anyone who doesn’t agree with them. But we must join hands and say a little prayer for the crack addict who buys prostitutes and abandons his older kids.

When is the death of Fred trump ever discussed on here?

And no some people have absolutely no sympathy for addicts. I have seen it many many times and some of them are clearly on here.

Battling addiction was one of the things I was looking forward to when Trump won the 2016 election and he said he was going to try to combat addition issues.

270,000 Overdose Deaths Thrust Fentanyl Into Heart of US Presidential Race

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-03-21/fentanyl-crisis-at-center-of-us-2024-presidential-race-as-deaths-reach-270-000

The crisis with fentanyl in the United States is horrific. Families and entire communities are suffering. Why has Biden not done anything to stop the flow of fentanyl into the US? Chinese fentanyl is flowing over the US-Mexico border.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans have overdosed on fentanyl. Families who have lost loved ones are begging for help.

But we are supposed to cry actual tears for Hunter Biden. You people are transparent, political hacks.

Again. Your posts indicate little experience with addiction. But the shaming is all part of it for every family that does have experience with this. The tone of these posts are nothing new to many of us.

Both my parents were addicted to drugs and my sister died in a crack house in Portland, OR when she was 22 years old. Who in your family had addiction issues?

I also lost a parent and sibling to addiction.

People who lose loved ones to addiction usually don’t go around gatekeeping the life changing experience of losing a loved one to drugs or alcohol. Do you think you are special? Your posts keep referring to the royal “we.” You haven’t learned by now everyone’s family has experienced problems with drug and alcohol addiction?

Fair enough. in my experience it was heartbreaking and brutal. Tremendous effort was put into combatting it without success. But there were periods of success but ultimately it can kill loved ones. In my experience it is very rare to meet someone whose life has not been touched by this illness in some way.

So why are you gatekeeping addiction and disparaging people you don’t even know if you are so affected by addiction?

I have compassion for addicts. I am not gatekeeping anything. If you want to condemn an addict that that is what you want to do. That does not resonate with my experience and maybe compassion for addicts does not resonate with you. I do have compassion for the Trump's family's struggle with addiction with his brother and Amy other family members that are afflicted.

You are gatekeeping; everyone has family problems with addiction. It is rare for a family to not have addiction problems.

Your arrogant and dismissive posts do not represent a person who has sympathy for others. Your posts represent only your POV while dismissing anyone else’s POV. I don’t have any problem with you but you made it a point several times to dismiss my family’s addiction struggles and call yourself out as the penultimate example of addiction and loss. I really have never encountered someone who has lost a loved one to addiction who has displayed that attitude. You should not assume you are the only person who has experienced loss, because you should know better.

Don't understand your aggressive posts about Hunter Biden being from a wealthy family. He probably had every treatment that money could buy and addicts from low income situations can not access. But wealth cannot protect you the disease itself. But try again and see if I can understand.

If you think PP was “aggressive”, the internet is not for you. It is that your shtick? Pester people then call them aggressive for responding?

Ok fine. Non aggressive post. Anyway. The poster explained that the drug overdose deaths are increasing under Biden and that is true. It is also true that they increased under trump and Obama and Bush and Clinton.....

Over 100,000 people died by drug overdose last year, preliminary statistics from the CDC show. That death toll, essentially unprecedented in American history, is driven by the rise of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, a far-deadlier cousin of heroin responsible for the lion’s share of the fatalities.


https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/drug-overdose-data.htm

Almost nobody is taking America's drug crisis seriously. To be sure, the ever-mounting deaths attract headlines. They get a mention in the State of the Union, or on the campaign trail. But based on the outcomes, policymakers appear to have more or less given up.

Some numbers put the problem in perspective. After Covid-19, drugs are now the leading driver of America's steadily declining life expectancy. A reported 111,219 Americans died from a drug overdose in 2021. That figure has risen more or less unabated, and at an increasing pace, since the early 1990s. Back in 2011, 43,544 Americans died from a drug overdose — less than half the 2021 figure. Ten years earlier, in 2001, it was 21,705 — less than half as many again. And the problem keeps getting worse: The 2021 figure is nearly 50% higher than it was in 2019.


https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/drug-overdose-data.htm


107,941 drug overdose deaths reported in 2022. Deaths involving synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily fentanyl) continued to rise with 73,838 overdose deaths reported in 2022.

https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates#:~:text=Figure%202.,overdose%20deaths%20reported%20in%202022.

The new total estimate attributes 107,543 deaths to drug overdoses in 2023, down from 111,029 in 2022.

https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/news/20240516/drug-overdose-deaths-declined-2023-cdc

I have noticed you attacked another poster, and whenever you spell Trump you use a small t. You don’t care about addressing addiction or stopping the flow of fentanyl and opioids into the US; you are just a partisan democrat who hates Trump.

Calling it an illness doesn’t help. Cancer and diabetes are illnesses. Drugs and alcohol require effort on the individual’s part to get them. My brother got addicted to meth and didn’t care that our elderly parents were running out of money. He would routinely prey on my mother to get more “so he didn’t end up on the street”. He’s clean now but still exhibits the selfish behavior that comes with the type of personality that gets into drugs to begin with.
