    One thing I find genuinely admirable about Joe Biden is that with his son Hunter he understands that a punitive approach to drug use is harmful and counterproductive. But it's hard to square that with his hardline war on drugs position for everyone else.https://twitter.com/maiasz/status/1372890748115419146 …

        it's easy to square, he cares about his family and he doesn't give a shit about anybody else's.

        Yeah we really need to stop pretending that people like Biden give a shit about consistency. Pointing out their hypocrisy isn’t really a gotcha. It’s the point.

        If the internet has taught us anything maybe we use a little caution about a “shocking” article that claims dozenS of people but then doesn’t have a single on the record example?

        Nevermind the huge gap in details on this story, and the objectionable but legitimate possible reasons for the action, do you really think Biden is involved in personnel matters like this?

        Biden’s great at emoting empathy, but not so great at translating that into humane public policies.
