https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/09/with-nothing-on-joe-biden-republicans-move-toward-impeaching-him-anyway/ a pretty good overview of what's been going on with Hunter Biden (who, frankly, has done some shady things) and why and how republicans have nothing on Joe Biden.
It's a grift, pure and simple.
Yeah, Hunter Biden himself doesn't seem like a great character, but last I checked he hadn't been on the ballot and I'm pretty sure he hasn't been given an official position within the government like "Senior White House Advisor" or "Assistant to the President" (as we saw with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump). If there's some sort of impropriety going on, then yeah, that's not right, though not sure that it rises to the level of "High crimes and misdemeanors" (maybe it's just a "misdemeanor") IF it was occurring. It wasn't right when the previous occupant was sitting in the White House when it was out in the open and blatant nepotism, but I haven't seen any evidence of it occurring in the current administration.
He's just a private citizen which is why this is dumb as hell. He did dumb shit, but it has zero effect on the government in any way.
I still don't know what dumb shit he allegedly did.
he did cocaine off of a strippers butt hole and some other stuff i guess
