> [@enipla](#): > > They’re trying to show that Hunter is a loser that need’s dads help. The fact that it shows that Joe has empathy and cares for his family is a bridge to far for them. I think they are also trying to show that Biden will _give_ that help, and will use the power of his office in order to enrich his family. ---

A few possible attacks. - Demented Bdien admits he doesn’t even know how to help his family, why does he think he knows how to help the country. - What “help” was Biden offering Hunter? Was he getting him drugs? Buying off law enforcement, securing a job at Burisma? - Hunter is a drug adicted looser and its all his fathers fault. - Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Hunter Biden! Everyone’s talking about Hunter Biden so there must be something to the allegations. ---

I don’t understand how voicemails like this get out in the public anyway. Biden left a message on his son’s (I assume mobile number) private voicemail. Was someone able to hack the account and hear the message? Was it publicly released by the Bidens? How do completely unrelated parties get access to this stuff? ---

Some huge percentage of kids who trick-or-treat are under ten; how many such kids could finance a drug habit? A “free sample” isn’t going to pay off for dealers if the recipient a) doesn’t know who they are to come to for more, and b) has no way of paying for the product. And if we’re worried about teenagers instead of little kids: can’t teens see the difference between a Skittle and a tablet of Dangerous Drug X…??? Are they that helpless? ---
