The headline might better read Hunter Biden against Fox News. The is one other spot in the story where the sentence says something about “the Biden campaign”, where the clarity would be improved if it said “Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign.” Sorry, my grandma’s editorial red pencil!

The headline might better read Hunter Biden against Fox News. The is one other spot in the story where the sentence says something about “the Biden campaign”, where the clarity would be improved if it said “Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign.” Sorry, my grandma’s editorial red pencil! Over all, there comes a time in a recovering alcoholic’s life, after they have made amends to the wrongs they have done others, when they will feel a need to stand up against the wrongs that have been done to them. Hunter Biden’s journey has not been a pleasant one, but for the man personally, to be able to demand that Fox News make some amends for the damage they did to him, is a sign of personal growth.
But georges bush (the son) was as well an alcoholic if my memory is not yet failing!! And he never got that miserable treatment by the media. Down with fascists billionaires and maga assholes. Thank you.
Yes, for the most part they gave him a pass. I suppose because he clearly was a pale shade of his father, and toed the family and party line to a T. Hunter, on the other hand, caused his family as well as himself lots of trouble, and seemed to be asking for it, sometimes.
That’s what addiction/alcoholism does. Both addictions affect the entire family. However, in working one’s recovery, there comes a time after amends are made, that taking charge of one’s life is mandatory. Recovery doesn’t mean that life is perfect. It just means you have the tools at your disposal to face what life throws at you. I wish Hunter Biden and his family all the best in this challenge.
Please get back to the class when Hunter Biden runs for national office (or any elected office). Until then, let's not have any comparisons with George W. Shrub (as Molly Ivins called him) was involved in electoral politics for years. That he was an alcoholic who got a pass from the press was just the icing on the shit cake.
I doubt that Hunter Biden has any interest in getting into politics. Bush Senior was all about the power and the junior Bushes were up for making a dynasty, until they actually tasted power and found out it was not all it’s cracked up to be. I wasn’t advocating for the Bushes, or criticizing Hunter in comparison. Life is hard enough when you are not genetically predisposed to be rewarded by things that wreck your decision making capabilities. Anyone who pulls themself out of any sort of addiction deserves respect and support. Didn’t mean to sidetrack this here.
My grandma hard a hard life, and I consciously choose not to go there.I have been fortunate to not be put into the position of needing to control everything and everyone around me. I feel like I can make observations and help others reflect on their own choices. Don’t want to manage them.
No worries. The pleasure of honest on-line conversation! It reveals how easily we make assumptions and leap to conclusions! I find myself apologizing to people on a distressingly frequent basis! But if it is honest agenda free conversation, apologies come easily.

To Notes on Useful Beauty:
Love "Sorry, my grandma’s editorial red pencil!"
I have one, too. But it's my own, not my grandma's! lol
My grandmother was a force to be reckoned with. I think of myself as more of an observer. Guess I need to start owning my opinions!
Maybe you can start moving into your grandmother's place, a little at a time. And be sure to take that red pencil with you!

Sorry, I shouldn't have suggested that without knowing anything about your grandmother. I apologize.

And I loved that Grandma! Some of my earliest memories are of her making much of me when I was barely talking. I felt well loved by her.
