I'd still give him more credit for trying to turn his life around no matter his age or what he has done to himself, than blanketly accuse him of being an active addict for no other reason than he is a Biden.

I'm talking about a human being...not a political talking point.

Well, you suggested to admire him though, which just is a bridge too far for many and I can understand why.

And I'd also say that all his shady businesses can not be excused by drug use. It wasn't cocaine that made him sit on a Burisma board, it was Hunter monetizing his last name. And as soon as you do that (and then do dealings in China that are shady as well), your deed will turn into a political talking point. Don't register as a foreign agent, something treated as the crime of the century when Flynn was concerned, and don't pay your due taxes, and well you'll get chastised, and suggesting to give him credit instead is tough to swallow.

Of course, I don't wish him ill, may he recover. And yeah I would not dare calling him an active addict too.
