It seems that Tucker Carlson has finally been told to tone it down by his superiors at Fox News; which isn't surprising, considering he was the only one at the network willing to focus on the scandal and its full ramifications. Fox News isn't better than any other mainstream media organization; it's just catering to a different audience.
Tone it down doesnt mean stop. Full disclosure, I haven't seen the vid yet.
I think part of the reason Tucker said that is, well...because Hunter's actions where continually enabled by his father and uncle, who put him in he stress situations with very bad people repeatedly when forcing him to act as a bag man.
Tucker has a point that Hunter isn't the one running, and that whatever Hunter's faults/vices/crimes, focusing on his father's connection to it all is far more important.
Which isnt to say that Hunters actions arent reprehensible. They certainly are. But in comparison to and in connection with his Fathers...well, not exactly small potatoes but certainly something.
The situation is symmetrical though. There's also the Walk Away campaign.
Politicians are corrupt. We've all been told this growing up. That said, there is some corruption that is both beyond the pale and wholly incompatible with American interests. Americans as a whole generally don't care if politicians skim off the top when things are going well and their interests are aligned. If they don't...well.
Your basic sense of morality is instilled in you as a toddler. You can either reject or accept that morality, but it will always be a part of you. It tend to center on a national morality too. Since the USA is composed of 11 different dominate cultures, you might see how that has an influence on people.
That's not accurate to say the least.
Republicans and Democrats are composed of voting blocs. The Republicans are a much smaller group, but tend to win most elections because there are no contradictions within the party. The Democrats are sort of the default "opposition" party that is much, much larger--but is full of contradictions. Case in point; Unions and Greens being in the same party means that anything the Unions want, the Greens will object. And anything the Greens want, the Unions will object. Same goes with African Americans; their idea of Civil Rights is in an entirely different world for LGBT voters. You can't actually win on policy issues.
Now, what's happening to the Republican party is that it's going through a re-alignment of politics. Primarily it comes down to globalists vs nationalists. The globalists are for some reason or another, attached to the global market, to global power, and/or global culture. The nationalists believe that the United States is one of several competing states and it shouldn't be using its military and economy to advantage others. This arose after the fall of the Soviet Union, as the whole reason was that the US would be in charge of world security to keep the Russians contained, while the rest of the alliance gets to export their way back to a functional economy.
In regards to the Trump Republicans...they're actually the opposite. They hate the insiders. Hence the "drain the swamp" mantra. They're actually closer to the classic American isolationists before WWI or WWII. Now, that may seem racist on the surface when you see; Travel Bans that seem to target black people, trade wars intent on breaking down international relations, building a literal wall along the border of Mexico, banning abortions to hurt women, and deporting dreamers because they're Mexican or keeping children in cages.
But that's not how Trump Republicans actually see things.
The travel ban is to keep out potential terrorists. The trade wars were not only launched at Asian countries, but European countries such as Germany and Canada. The wall is to prevent immigrants, regardless of race or origin from illegally entering the country. Banning abortions is more of a conservative religious position. Deporting dreamers is because they were illegally in the country to begin with and on top of, were being exploited by employers. And Obama built those cages.
Some of that is true, but it's not wholly true. First off, the Trump Republicans still retain intellectuals. Just of a different sort than what you're used to seeing at the forefront of Republican politics. The business people are leaving as are the fiscals conservatives, but the military voters are split. Some of them like Trump and some of them don't. It generally boils down to globalism vs nationalism.
I can't say that I've ever perceived Zeihan as being terrified of Trump. Nor does he really blame Trump or believes Trump to be the main cause. Rather, Zeihan indicates that the core of the issue comes down to one fact; the current US foreign posture is not working for the United States anymore and it is attempting to re-negotiate that posture with the rest of the world. And it is coming at a time that the US's political parties are off-line because of political re-alignment.

It's more likely that he was neglectful or like I said in my post that he probably forgot it rather than being half-heartedly repentant. I don't deny that he can be. I'm just not seeing it.
Is there any indication that he's really repentant?
Not saying he's repentant. Just that he hates what he's become and may be ambivalent about maintaining the facade any longer.

It still seems more likely that he forgot about it. People like him tend to be neglectful.
Which is very likely. Still... I can't help but think about it.

With him being an addict, I'm pretty sure the drugs messed up his brain. And of course he lives in a bubble that he/they are untouchable.
Do you really think it's more likely he hates what he's doing and/or him being remorseful than him being neglectful?

I think it say something good about your character, that your immediate thought was that he did it on purpose to seek redemption of some sort.
I‘ve been following this from afar, since it’s not really my place to butt in, but I am not seeing any evidence showing remorse from him, if anything, it look like now that the thruth is out the sharks are trying to eat each other in order to make sure nobody can escape.
A bit spiteful, but honestly not that rare in normal business, let alone corruption on that level.
Granted, we haven’t seen Hunter for a while, so it’s hard to tell what he could be thinking.

EXCLUSIVE: National security nightmare of Hunter Biden's laptop
Hunter Biden chose to protect his MacBook Pro computer - crammed with what an IT expert last night described as a 'national security nightmare' and 'classic blackmail material'.
The password was Hunter02. Go figure.

Possiblity? Sure.
Plausible? Fuck no.
The amount of potential legal problems you'd drop yourself in...drug use, child porn, political corruption, and possible basis for treason is really not the best means of running away from your problems.
From what I've seen, it looks to me that after Hunter proved himself utterly incapable of even standing around as naval decoration for more than a month, he was made into a middleman for Biden and his associates.

Update on the Bidentate scandal that most mainstream media covered up
www.foxnews.com
Turns out that Hunter Biden has been under a Grand Jury Investigation since 2018 and they allegedly only informed him on Tuesday.
Now this can be taken two ways in my suspicious mind.
Either this is a Trump play (4D chess!) and this may be part of an effort to help stigmatise Joe Biden so that Trump's efforts to overturn fraudulent election results go down easier. I mean I find it hard to believe that Trump knew nothing of this but then why not reveal the investigation before the election somehow? Unless the laptop affair was a fortuitous soft-leak way of trying to do just that?
Or maybe the Dems knew about this too and that this is a way for them to release this now and get President Harris quicker.
Or if I don't assume shenanigans then maybe if Biden becomes President he may have to have his only surviving son thrown in gaol.
