'F*** YOU, MR. PRESIDENT': JOE BIDEN'S SON HUNTER BRUSHES OFF DONALD TRUMP'S INVESTIGATION THREATS

BY ALEXANDRA HUTZLER ON 7/1/19 AT 10:34 AM EDT

Hunter Biden, the son of 2020 Democratic hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden, brushed off President Donald Trump's call for an investigation into his business deals with foreign powers.

In a feature published by The New Yorker on Monday, Hunter Biden said when he first saw reports of Trump's threats he also noticed a helicopter flying overhead.

"I said, 'I hope they're taking pictures of us right now. I hope it's a live feed of the President so he can see just how much I care about the tweets,'" he told the magazine. He added that he also told his new wife, Melissa Cohen, "I don't care. F*** you, Mr. President. Here I am, living my life."

During an interview with Fox News host Steve Hilton in May, Trump said that the Justice Department should "one hundred percent" launch a probe into the former vice president and his son's financial ties with China and Ukraine.

The president also said that an investigation would "be an appropriate thing" to discuss with Attorney General William Barr. Barr, who joined the Trump administration in February, has been accused of acting as a defense lawyer for the president and has received many calls to resign from former federal prosecutors and Democratic lawmakers.

1. Then why is it off limits...

to look into the financial deals of his family?

[PatSeg]

2. Seriously

He judges other people based on his own activities. Trump just assumes most people are as dishonest and crooked as he is.

[bluewater]

3. I'd rather not see any posts about Hunter Biden.

He's not the candidate and I really don't want to hear about him at all.

4. Why don't you not read such posts then? NT

[bluewater]

6. 99.999% of all Hunter Biden stories are RW Talking points.

[JI7]

5. then tell the right wing to stop attacking him

[Maru Kitteh]

7. You have the power to ignore threads

You even have the power to not comment in them

[bluewater]

8. True, and the power to express an opinion and preference about them.

99.9999% of all Hunter Biden stories are Right Wing Talking points.

Giving them credence here on DU by feeling the need to present and rebut them seems like a back door way to introduce right wing talking points.

Hypothetical example... "Foxnews attacks something about Hunter Biden's Sex Life"

Posting rebuttals about that type of crap, when Hunter Biden isn't even the candidate, accomplishes what here on DU?

The Russian bots and Right Wing Trolls are going to be out in force attacking Hunter Biden this election year. I don't think bringing that shit into our house here on DU accomplishes much.

I rather not hear about it. So, yeah, I will be ignoring all Hunter Biden threads going forward. Thanks for the suggestion.
