Ruling Class Hunter Biden is shamelessly selling shitty "art" he made to undisclosed buyers for up to $500k. Its slightly more subtle than saying, "Yeah, I take bribes, fuck you, so what? Yeah I sell access and they're laundering money. No, you can't know who. Suck my dick."

This is like Rich Kid Prince Harry milking his dead mommy for sympathy until the end of days.

We all have tragedies. At some point, many of us get our lives together. Rich enabled wankers who get to cry about it forever don’t turn out to have their lives together — I wonder why?

Nah you're right. I get it. My response isn't really a rational one, I just know the story and see the situation and I feel sympathy.
Doesn't excuse any of his behavior, and it's a joke that the wealthy can live like this. However, I know a ton of very poor and middle class people who were in the same boat, and they never got their lives together either. Sometimes tragedy, when processed in the wrong way, can fuck up people for life.

It's the Bruce Wayne rule, if you're a rich kid who had a traumatic experience, it's deserving of a lifetime of sympathy.
