Infidelity? Trust? Ethics? Riding Daddy’s coattails? Breaking the law?
Does America even have “standing” to care anymore?

It sure wasn't Trump.
I feel bad for Joe. He is dealing with a tough situation as best he can as a father.
I didn’t gather that the purpose of your original post was to garner sympathy for Joe or Hunter or the family. Obviously, many families have members who struggle in various ways. We should root for those persons and families to find a healthy path to recovery.
My take was that you highlighted the article because you believe Hunter taints Joe in some way, or that Hunter’s transgressions reflects negatively on Joe. Sorry if I mistakenly assumed this was your intent in posting. After reading the entire article, it does show how much Joe supports his son. For sure, it will a long and winding road for Hunter.
Hunter is not a political candidate. His father is. On the politics, I do not view Hunter as a liability to his father’s campaign.
Nevertheless, to my point in the abstract, many voters seemingly could care less about personal or moral or ethical transgressions, given how much the bar has been lowered for Trump and his family.
.......when he had the investigator fired in order for Ukraine to receive promised US support money.
He admitted it in his own words. He described it in detail.
This isn’t a Billy Carter scenario.

I thought it was interesting for several reasons:
1) Hunter is an incredible screw-up
2) Joe is trying to help, but there is only so much you can do for a near 50-year old.
3) Who the hell thought this article was a good idea?
4) Did one of the other Dem candidates get the ball rolling with this?
5) Are there ethical questions raised for Joe with Hunter’s Ukrainian and Chinese clients? There sure are judgement questions raised for Hunter. Dude, they didn’t hire you because of your business expertise.
