Since the start of the 2020 presidential campaign, now-President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, has been a primary target for Republicans hoping to call the President's credibility into question.

When he was still President, Donald Trump withheld congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine while urging its President, Volodymyr Zelensky, to launch an investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings with a Ukrainian energy firm. This call led to Trump's first impeachment.

After Biden secured the Democratic nomination, spurious claims regarding the contents of a laptop supposedly belonging to Hunter Biden were broadcast across right wing news outlets.

With Biden's presidency nearly two weeks underway, the Hunter Biden discourse is bubbling up again, spurred by a report from Axios that Hunter Biden's lawyer's ex-colleague, Nicholas McQuaid, was appointed to temporarily head up the Justice Department's criminal division.

Hunter Biden is reportedly under investigation for potential tax-related crimes, but this investigation is under the U.S. Attorney for Delaware, not the main Justice Department, as the piece's writer Lachlan Markay noted.


Republicans such as Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) eagerly shared the piece, implying reason for alarm that a former colleague of the lawyer of Hunter Biden was temporarily appointed to the Justice Department position.

People soon began invoking actor Kevin Bacon, the subject of a popular internet joke that no actor is more than six degrees of separation away from Bacon's work.

Soon "Kevin Bacon" began trending on Twitter.


The consensus was that Republicans were grasping at straws.

Notably, President Biden has not hired Hunter Biden in any capacity to a White House position. The same cannot be said of his predecessor.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
