So lemme get this straight: Donnie routinely abuses his office to enrich himself,

To steer public funds into his private ventures.
To hand jobs and power to his kids.
To get Chinese trademarks for ivanka.
To get vacant rooms in his hotels filled by secret service so he can charge the treasury.
To give publicity to his golf courses and hotels.
And so on and so on this sort of thing, often several times a week.

And the media continues to report on hunter and the fact-free, entirely speculative Republican fantasy that joe Biden might have... uh, what, abused his status as a *private citizen* to help his son professionally?

How can any journalist cover this responsibly without putting it in the context that whatever joe is accused of, even if it were true, it would still be nothing next to the criminal crap Donnie gets away with constantly.
