For someone that’s not familiar with US politics. Who is Marjorie Taylor Greene and who is Hunter Biden? Why do they matter?

Hunter Biden is President Biden’s son. To be clear, he doesn’t work for the gooberment.

Greene is a congresswoman, House of Representatives from the state of Georgia. She’s a complete right wing nut. And makes howler monkeys look civilized

Honestly you’re not exaggerating. If I was asked to pick between attempting to have a civil conversation with Greene or a howler monkey I think I’d have a better chance of success with the latter.

That’s a right-wing nut, not a right wing-nut.

Marjorie Taylor Green, sometimes called MTG, is a representation and a result of the dumbing down of united state politics. She’s a member of the far right party in this country and pushes conspiracies, racism, bigotry and hatred. She’s possibly the least intelligent person to ever hold federal office in this country.

Hunter Biden is the son of the current US president. He holds no office and has nothing to do with politics, but because he’s the president’s son, the far right politicians spend a large amount of time trying to find anything they can to make him look bad. He’s had problems with drugs and the law in the past so there’s a decent amount there for them to attack.

Well he did some business dealings in Ukraine with oil companies before the war. That’s pretty much it.

What’s funny is he didn’t even have any real operational authority. It was a total rich-kid-nepotism “show up a couple times a quarter” gig. The corruption shit is true, it’s just boring regular rich people corruption.

Dudes a fuckup, but like, yeah. Families have fuckups. My sister is a fuckup. Republicans are pushing on this just because it sucks to have your fuckup sister or kid have their shit put out there for people to see.

They’re just assholes.

None of the business stuff in Ukraine is illegal. He’s not a government official, and his dad being president has no bearing on what he can legally take for a job.

The only reason republicans care is because of trump’s corruption (along with most the rest of his family.) that has the critical distinction of being an actual employee of the federal government

She’s a member of the far right party

She actually got kicked out of the Freedom Caucus.

I would argue George Santos is a solid contender… Otherwise… Spot on. She’s a garbage human being, and, in my opinion, legitimately evil.

I only know her name from a JPEGMAFIA song. Pretty sure Hunter is the son of the president of the United States.
