No, we're not in a court of law, we can comfortably state our opinion based on observation.  Biden recently settled a court case with attending rehab as a condition of the settlement, no?  This would lead a logical person to conclude that substance abuse is still an issue, or the rehabilitation element of his plea would not exist.  Why send a person who's been sober for two years to rehab?  That's actually counterproductive as you're surrounding them with people who are still actively using.


But you do know about other people, right?



Oh, my.

Of course I know once an addict always an addict.  You said he HAS a sever drug addiction and since you don't think he went to a facility you inferred he is still actively using drugs.

You don't want o have to provide proof (and I didn't ask you because you didn't ask me for proof that he is clean) because you are hiding behind it being "an opinion", yet earlier you were quite sure due to your "experience".  That's quite the flip-flop you have working for you there.  And your hang up on the pleas deal is probably more to do with you being jaded to the system than anything else.  Just an opinion based on what your write about DA's and defendants. 

All I can do is observe behavior and offer my opinion.  

I have not claimed to be an expert.  I have not claimed that I am absolutely right.  Unlike, well, some people.  

Others, who knew him, have said publicly that JR used drugs.  I do not know of him ever seeking help.  They say Sr is addicted to Adderall too.  All I know is what I have read.

That's all you know too, but this gives you a chance to flex those 20+ years and talk down to anyone who disagrees. Because how could their opinion be as good as yours?

Which reminds me:

I asked earlier about your experiences and if you wanted people to turn their life around.  If you would admire them for the efforts.  Seemed you didn't answer that.
