Clintons, young kid while in office, same with Obama. Neither going to be a hairdresser or a waitress.
So we have Biden the candidate and Trump with adult kids.

Which of these kids went on to do their own thing without daddy's help? Don Jr a plumber? Ivanka a wedding planner? Wouldnt that be something?

It's understandably upsetting to regular shmoes like us, but silver spoon is a thing in politics and business.
Very true, and I'm not disagreeing at all.

I think the bigger issue here isn't whether or not political figures use their position to gain benefits for their family, etc....but the fact that the media is basically refusing to report on the Biden emails, something that concerns people like Greenwald who have been fighting government interference and restriction to information since the Bush years.

Why it matters that the entire mainstream press is non-reporting the Biden emails (or falsely labeling them disinformation): they’re likely to be charged soon with challenging a Biden administration. If they’re already lying on his behalf, it makes them politicians, not press.
