    I mean the vulgarity of the event is obvious. And the mental image of Hunter bitchslapping Jr is enticing.

    However this kind of exchange in itself is so far of the classy scale, more in the trailer park terms of conversation.

      Who fucking cares? The US left needs to give up on the “high road” bullshit. It does nothing but harm.

        I feel the need to stress that this is not a us thing only. I feel that trying to be better is the inverse of useless, it’s quite essential.

        And we should hold our leaders to that standard.

          I guess I just value actual ideals and actual action to some kind of misguided, self-imposed, faux-kindness for PR

          That’s nice. I’m ready to fight to win, personally.

          Fight dirty. Pack every court, add seats, gerrymander the life out of every county and up, abuse every rule and gentleman’s agreement. It all ends when those things become enshrined in law. No more wringing hands and strongly worded letters. Sometimes the bully just needs a bitch slap to make the trip back to reality.

      We should give them a couple of pistols and let them shoot each other instead far more civilized. I’m not even joking, though I’ll add that I’d swap jrs ammo for blanks.

        Without even a modicum of grace, society crumbles. Honour is still a thing even though it’s been pushed out of sight during this current admin-aggression. See graceless Jane watch society crumble. Crumble society, crumble.

      Hunter is a piece of shit in his own right. The last thing we need is Hunter Biden as our new democratic “champion.” I hoped Jon Stewart would make a play, but I honestly think he’s too much of a bitch.
