If this was a scandal involving one of the Trump children most of the media would be having a fit the FBI got involved like this… anyway I have literally no opinion on what the FBI (after affecting the election last time) or Facebook should do in this situation, it’s really tricky to decide what is best.



I have no idea what a scandal involving the Trump children would even mean either. Didn't Jared Kushner (who actually served in the White House) just get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And that was cool? So how many billions should Hunter get?

And why should I care what the media (whoever that is) has a fit over?


I just think it’s useful to put yourself in the opposite position and play devils advocate to understand their arguments and reasoning. Unpopular on the internet I know. I didn’t know Jared was given $2bn that’s pretty brazen and should be illegal.


Does the reasoning go beyond "it's ok when I do it"? Jared Kushner has been given things his entire life, from his Harvard entrance and degree (paid for by his father who actually spent time in prison thanks to Chris Christie) to his stint as a white house special advisor.

And I'm supposed to believe that anyone who thought all that was OK has a problem with Hunter Biden getting a salary from a company in Ukraine?
