He wound up flushing an ounce of cocaine down the toilet of a local watering hole. I had his ex wife call me because he promised his kids he would be over that day to bring them presents for Christmas. He was a no show and his 2 kids waited for him on the porch crying their eyes out. I use to go with him to his meetings when he was inpatient at Park Ridge chemical dependency. There were times when that sparkle would come back to his eyes. There were times I actually thought he might make it this time. I lost track of how many rehabs, how many promises that this time would be different and the list goes on and on of empty broken promises. Every drug addict has to find their bottom. That bottom is deeper and darker for every addict. My friend who I loved like he was my brother never found his bottom no matter how deep he sank.

I was unaware he was an old friend.
Obviously, it's tragic that your friend succumbed to his addiction and died, as my family member did.
But millions of people successfully deal with their addiction and don't succumb...BTW, I'm sure some of these are "arrogant" "jerks". But they make it. I would agree that humility in the face of addiction can be very helpful to successful recovery. But not everyone who succumbs is an 'arrogant jerk'...
It's likely to be a lifelong challenge for Hunter...like with any such person, I suggest hoping or praying for their successful recovery is the appropriate sentiment. Doesn't mean giving them a pass for their mistakes, just a measure of understanding and maybe some empathy...but for the grace of God there go I
That said, sorry about your friend but that bad experience does not make you any more credible or even right about Hunter Biden.

Re: Hunter Biden Tinfoil issues
Not sure of the connection to the rest of this, but yeah, Manafort and Gates undoubtedly "came to attention" as they were so flamboyantly drawing attention with their political activities, whether in the Baltics or then on behalf of Putin/Trump via Deripaska.... Would that have been sufficient to draw attention and prosecution had they not conspicuously joined the Trump Campaign...UNPAID...which is unheard of in the campaign racket...question was obvious, who are these guys and who is actually paying them...and are they reporting it? The cases got brought under the attention it got because of the Mueller investigation, not because the IRS had prioritized it among many potential such cases.old salt wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2023 10:34 pmWho knows ?

So, if the connection is the understaffing, yup, the IRS doesn't pursue most potential cases, just don't have enough personnel...so, they take the layups and force settlements, and if they have a case that will get media attention and they know is slam dunk they'll use it to send a message to others...
But the ones where the perp taxpayer is smart enough to have hired all sorts of accountants and lawyers to obfuscate their tax liabilities, the cases are much, much harder to organize and bring to justice...and the man hours aren't there for every such case.
That's great for large, sophisticated tax avoiders...and only much more funding support can solve that. But if we fund that effort, we should be sure that the money is enough to be able to focus attention on the big tax avoiders, and not mom and pop who just got behind and struggled to get caught up but wants to do so. Gotta be some oversight on how the priorities get set. But starve them of money and all the effort will go to the easy lay-ups, typically the unsophisticated. Egregious tax avoidance should be addressed, even if not large, but it's the large, chronic tax cheats that should get the manpower.

So, he was delusional?
No, I think he had fallen into MAGA-Fox-think and had/has an enormous ego. You have to have an enormous ego to, from the outside, conclude that you actually know better than the FBI whether Trump had colluded with Russia, whether there was evidence to suspect such. That investigating such was totally unreasonable, an effort to "sabotage"...Anyone with even a smidgen of humility would have realized that there was plenty of reason to at least suspect such efforts and to realize that the FBI would know far more than Joe citizen...including Bill Barr...
He interfered massively politically during his tenure in the job, made all sorts of politically motivated decisions on behalf of Trump and his allies, and established a Special Counsel specifically to target the likely opponent of Trump...this was not a guy who had a "belief" that the DOJ should be apolitical, just a 'belief' that the DOJ should do the political work convenient to his own party. And only on behalf of his party...

Trump made his money the old fashioned way -- he inherited it. Sadly for him, there's no market for a book written by Trump. Not surprising -- precious little evidence that Trump or his MAGA followers actually read books.

Re: Hunter Biden Tinfoil issues
counting the tax payer money directed to his businesses while in office, the almost $2billion given by the Saudis to Jared to bail him out if his real estate deal and the funds redirected from his campaign to his legal defense? Just asking the baseline comparison. He inherited something lime 250-300 million and would have done better just putting it in index funds.

Irony abounds here. Nothing you said negates the larger havk and dump explanation.

Re: Hunter Biden Tinfoil issues
Oh I knew exactly what you meant and what you were trying to say. I'll give you bonus points for dragging the term dullard out of the 1930s.
