I don’t think this is main board quality post. But can someone explain to me the logic behind Joe not accepting his grandkid from a stripper now? Honestly higher class stripper think she played basketball in college. Everyone on both sides have already admitted Hunter is a degenerate in part because saying Hunter is a degenerate is their defense to Hunter doing a bunch of shady business deals. So accepting the kid would just make him look generous and caring. What’s the politics preventing it now that the issue seems to have gone mainstream.
Like @hydroacetylene said, I don’t think any of Joe’s decisions with regards to Hunter are motivated by political expediency or strategy. It seems more like he does what he wants, then his aides have to act upon it (actually a good argument against the idea that he’s a senile body in a chair, which I think is already pretty shaky anyway).
If Joe was following advice re. Hunter he’d have publicly disowned him years ago, and would have done a speech or at least released a statement saying how disappointed he is, how embarrassed he is, and how he dearly hopes Hunter goes to rehab, pays for his crimes and becomes a better person. Instead he just talks about how much he loves him.

He’s 80 and dealing with his bad egg son. It doesn’t have to be logical, and frankly I don’t think most of his decisions regarding hunter are.
