He's such a piece of shit, no one likes him. His own staff must hate him so much, but they just put up with his bs for the grift.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden demolishes former CNN hack Chris Cillizza for attacking his family and focusing on the wrong "bullshit" while "Rome burns" under Trump.
These people get paid to distract us from what matters...
"Who is the audience for the Hunter Biden re-emergence? And, why? Like, who asked for this? Who wants it?" Cillizza wrote on X, posting a video urging Democrats to abandon the Bidens if they want to win in 2026.
The fact that Cillizza — a lukewarm intellect who regularly churns out inane think pieces about how Democrats must embrace more moderate politics to win despite mountains of evidence to the contrary — feels entitled to give strategy advice at all is remarkable. This man has never uttered a single thing worth paying attention to.
Hunter quickly put him in his place.
"Dear Chris, I can start by telling you who my audience is not. It is NOT you. It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties," the former President's son wrote.
"It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people. It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics," he continued.
"The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit. The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering," wrote Hunter. "The families fighting for the lives of the those they love. Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again."
This has been a persistent theme in Hunter's reemergence into the public eye: the idea of second chances. As a recovering drug addict, he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to push through the shame and humiliation and how important it is to afford yourself the grace to start anew. It's inspiring and exactly what many Americans need to hear.
"My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me," wrote Hunter. "My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal."
"And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern," he went on. "Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18 hours of unscripted podcasts I have done."
"I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me," he continued. "Take a look at the comments to your post. And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns."
"So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say," he concluded.
Well said! America is fed up with these empty suits in the mainstream media who wring their hands and pretend to have all the answers while doing nothing to stop our country's slide into MAGA fascism.
Please ❤️ and share if you're glad that Hunter Biden is speaking out!

Minnesota traded Towns cause he was "washed"...
Dallas refused to pay Brunson cause "he's not that good"...
Nets traded Bridges cause he "has no future"...
Raptors got rid of OG to "save on the cap"
Blazers got rid of Josh Hart cause he's "too emotional"...
Knicks just took the Biggest Rejects in the league and won a title.

By conservative estimates Elon Musk probably killed hundreds of thousands by taking a chainsaw to global health programs. He’s not a visionary, he’s a dimwit and a monster.

As satisfying it may be to watch the public humiliation of Donald Trump on the eve of his birthday party, the power of this moment is in showing that there are forces that are stronger than him.
Fighting back works.

How fitting that this ended with yet another shameful cover-up, though.
Perfectly, perfectly Trumpian.

trump is rapidly becoming a lame duck President.
His name has already been removed from the Kennedy Center.
And his name will be removed from everything in due time.
He will go down as the worst President in American history with very little permanent changes he can point to.

It’s done! Trump’s name has been YEETED from the Kennedy Center like the failed grifter he is.
No more pretending he belongs anywhere near JFK’s legacy.

Emblematic of the kind of fresh start we may get when he is gone. So little of what's he's done will last - save for the damages to places and relationships that will take some repair.

The difference is that in 2029 there will be no tarp to obscure the removal of Trumpist desecrations. It will happen joyfully and proudly, in broad daylight.

Last month, solar power generated 12.8% of electricity in the U.S. while coal was responsible for 12.2%.
It’s the first time in history that solar accounted for more energy than coal. 🔋 abcnews.com/US/solar-generat…

Despite the (ahem) coverup at the Kennedy Center to prevent video of his name being stripped from the building, it’s happening at last.
Cry harder, MAGAe.
In the end, nothing with his name on it will survive.
