I'd actually prefer Hunter Biden's cases go to trial. There's a good chance that his gun charges could go to the Supreme Court and set really strong precedent for gun rights.
But do you think Biden will let it happen?
reply
Probably not. I wouldn't leave it to chance if I were him.

The article rightly hints about Joe can get revenge for all his humiliation by his associates. On a lighter note, I think Trump had definitely suggested him to use this power for his son when he met him after elections.
reply
Could be, but this has been a topic of conversation throughout his entire term.

The best point made in the article was
In the end, this will be an intensely and deeply personal decision for the president. His family — like many American families — has struggled through death, divorce and substance abuse, and a prison term for Hunter Biden would compound the tragedies they’ve faced.
Does this hold truth in contemporary American society because I from far visualise them no as depicted here?
reply
It's disingenuous, but not untrue. The Bidens are not a relatable American family, despite some superficially similar struggles. Hunter is an entitled wealthy degenerate who was constantly enabled by his politically connected family.
There has been an enormous opioid epidemic in America for over a decade, which has put many American families through difficulties with substance abuse.
More broadly, there's been a sharp increase in "deaths of despair". Understanding the driving factors is a very active area of social science research.

Thanks.
I can now flaunt that I understand America much better. You know many people living in a different culture think that substance abuse and divorce are done for fun in America. But they are actually a kind of cultural pandemic.

It's a complex picture. There are definitely lots of frivolous people who don't take their marriages seriously and abuse drugs for fun. I would argue that's also part of the same cultural pathology.
