Why can't they leave his son alone?

He’s not running for president. He’s not running for anything. He’s just a private citizen living a private life. Unlike those vile parasites Trump calls his children, he hasn’t sought the limelight at all.

Seriously, Hunter needs to get a restraining order against these sick scumbags. Their obsession with him is just unhealthy.

As much as they want it to sink Biden, it won't change any votes. It's their exercise in futility.

Of course they are failing miserably. The tactics will get more desperate as time gets closer and closer to Nov. 2020. Beware of their underhanded tactics to keep us from voting and of course, vote!

They have nothing else. It is bullshit, but that is all they have.

Scary part is, is that bullshit is working as well as it is.

Scary bullshit seems to work.

Take a deep thought, regarding scary bullshit.

14. Because they love cruelty and want to exploit Joe's family losses
Wed Oct 14, 2020, 07:37 PM

They know of the devastating loss of family members that Joe Biden has experienced, and how deeply he loves his family and feels the pain of those losses every day.

Knowing of Joe's pain, and his huge heart, they want to strike him where he is most emotionally vulnerable - by going after one of his remaining children.

It's the same cruelty behind Trump constantly interrupting Biden during the debate, hoping to trigger Biden's stutter.

Complete and utter cruelty. Like mocking a U.S. Senator and war hero for a year while the Senator was dying of brain cancer. Like telling Americans not to let COVID dominate their lives, after 200,000+ families have lost loved ones to the disease and millions have lost jobs due to Trump's reckless and self-focused mishandling of the pandemic. Like mocking the disabled. I could go on and on....

They know a big piece of Joe's heart is already broken from the deaths of his first wife and children, and they are willing to break the rest of it if it will give them a couple more votes.

they have to have a boogie man, and Joe hasn't given them much to work with. They are losing their ability to slime, and get people all worked up. Nobody believes them, and it's not the 80's. The internets put their little fires out before they even flicker.

I don't hear this stated ever, but two of Biden's children--half of them--died tragically. What kind of monsters go after one of his two surviving children?

This is the most reprehensible of all the things they've done. IMO. Well that and the kids separated from their parents. So much evil.

so they need to prove that Biden's kid is dirty too to uphold their "everybody does it" defense.

The Republican strategy is always make sure to accuse the Democrats of something you are actually doing, or accused of doing yourself. Like Trump's use of repeating the word "rigged" both before the last election and today. Then it becomes a he said she said Both Sides-erism. and the MSM news bends over backwards with false equivalency to not offend any demographic.

The MSM news networks are only looking better, with that false equivalency problem, because there's not much choice. He's calling you the fake news ffs! Trump's actions are so embarrassingly thoughtless and abusive they couldn't ignore that. I think the MSM news has come to realize that they don't have to cozy up to the ruling Republicans, like when they held power before. The never-Trumpers and TLP among others have convinced them there is another Republican party coming, and with it new viewers. They've moved on already from any Trump supporter viewer.

They are desperate people. Trump is so far behind in the polls it would take a miracle for him to even get close. Total desperation.
