"Biden, 83, was accompanied by former first lady Jill Biden to a ceremony where their son, Hunter Biden, accepted the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse."

"Demonstrators and spectators gathered outside the venue during the event hosted by the College Historical Society (HIST). As Biden departed, some people stepped forward and threw objects."

From "Joe Biden swarmed by protesters during surprise Dublin visit to support Hunter/Chaos broke out near the event attended by Biden and his family" (Independent).

This is bloggable because:

1. A Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse!

2. For Hunter!

3. Is he really "their son"? 

4. People threw objects at Joe Biden? Why? What exactly was their beef?

5. The throwing of objects is public discourse, but it doesn't deserve the gold medal.

6. I'm happy to see Joe is well enough to travel to Dublin, but it heightens my skepticism about why he's avoiding doing interviews about this new book he wrote/"wrote."

Hunter Biden getting an Irish award. Makes sense. I'm sure the Irish pols really see themselves in him. They can only steal and get Bribes on a small scale. Hunter and "the big guy" got tens of $millions.

rehajm said...

…dollars to donuts they invented the award for the sole purpose of posting the video of people throwing things to social media…

So very much wrong with this story; so much shame to go around.

But regardless of your opinion about Joe Biden, he is the former president of the United States and he was attacked by a foreign mob for actions he took as president of the United States. Ireland needs to go medieval on the people who did this; if they don't, then the US needs to go medieval on Ireland.

…oops I see I’m wrong. Except for maybe Geldof it’s for getting away with outstanding leftie shenanigans…

rehajm said...

…maybe they fave Biden Trump’s old Secret Service team, Tim…

the left will eat their own. The insanity was injected.

Hope they were those small cartons of milk. If one hit Joe Biden at his age, bad news.

Makes sense that this happened in Ireland. They're one of the most Anti-Genocide in Gaza countries in Europe. And Biden was a total Zionsist shill. I wonder if biden's now on his way to Israel to wail at the wailing wall. And pick up a bribe.

Coming soon to a country nearer you?

The failed pols should emulate vivek and bush jr.
Don't let us see you out in public again.

The Global left is a Crime syndicate. The Pro-Palestine crowd ring the edges.
The corrupt left will be given golden globes.

---- People threw objects at Joe Biden? Why? What exactly was their beef?

Moods change fast. Corrupt political leadership and hypocritical application of the rule of law may have finally run out of places to hide -- having outraged more and more people the world over. A prime example right at hand, for them.

I think the Irish decided to honor Hunter Biden because they heard that he was a piper and didn't realize that he was a CRACK piper.

Aggie said...

Hey at least they didn't throw frozen milk cartons.

Not an oldster. said...

It is shameful for hunter and Jill to be trotting a demented cancer patient around the world, but he is still their meal ticket and people/ladies like ann eat this coverage up...

bagoh20 said...

Why can't the left find anyone wholly virtuous to honor? It seems they require the deepest flaws before they can give someone accolades. There are people on the left who have never done anything wrong, some even heroic, but if they don't have some major evil on their resume, they get ignored.

RideSpaceMountain said...

They would've thrown ice cream at him but it's less aerodynamic. Heft is required.

Peachy+2 said...

Leftists back slap their fellow grifters.

OnwardandUpward said...

The less one hears or reads about the Biden (Crime) Family, the better.

Nancy said...

Surely this rates the "I'm skeptical" tag!

"5. The throwing of objects is public discourse, but it doesn't deserve the gold medal." Usually, you win a gold medal for hitting your target bigger badder faster more than others.

Throwing big milk cartons the size of small milk cartons?

Which reminds me ... many years ago a group of us were watching the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics. As the teams marched around the stadium, a small group with the Palestinian flag trooped by. "Palestine, huh, I wonder what event they compete in?", one person asked. "Rock throwing," came the reply.

Lazarus said...

Ireland is a little crazy. They used to be crazy about religion and nationalism. Having thrown those overboard -- they can't even properly hate the English anymore -- the Irish need to be crazy about other things. Hurling and Gaelic football aren't crazy enough.

John henry said...

I thought, back in 24, that Biden was just days away from death by prostate cancer. Yet here he is cavorting all over the world. Giving speeches (sort of) and generally seeming halthy.

Was the prostate cancer just another Biden scam?

Or is it a Festivus Miracle!

Of all the things to object to, questioning hunters relationship with Jill after his own mum dies young is not worthy of a law professor's analysis...

People might question whether meade is really your husband if Cohen still lives, but we dont stoop that low to criticize 21st century family formations.

DJ99 said...

An award for public discourse? Maybe they meant an award for public intercourse. Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress.

Peachy+2 said...

Top democrats are given top notch healthcare. Healthcare the rest of us will never access.
Look how long they preserved Jimmy Carter.

Iman said...

Gee whiz, better call in Bono to mediate a peace treaty…

rehajm said...

…they list milk cartons as objects thrown at joe biden but they fail to mention shoes…

Iman said...

Or maybe invite Nayib Bukele in to rid them of the new snakes.

rehajm said...

…I volunteer for the team to hammer out the peace accords, and propose the meetings be held at Royal County Down, Portrush, Lahinch, and the little nine holer Bill Murray played the day before his birthday…

LOL - this must be satire. Yes, I for one am upset at furinerrs attacking OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF (Retired) by throwing milk at him. We need to send some Marines to teach them a lesson.

Let Ireland bow down to the Yankee nation. You cant mess with Uncle Sam. LOL!

Gusty Winds said...

Is there and award Hunter and his parents can be given for disowning a his love child?

RCOCEAN II said...

Joe Biden is just a corrupt lying pol who tried to put his precessor in jail - and got rich on bribes from foreign countries. Not to mention he got elected by fraud. Joe Biden should have been Mayor of Newark NJ in the 40s. He'd have fit right in.

RCOCEAN II said...

BTW, I thought he was dying of cancer. He seems pretty spry for that.

Achilles said...

Everyone involved in this situation is a fucking parasite.

We need to delouse the world.

Achilles said...

The people giving the awards are parasites, the bidens are parasites, the media reporting this are parasites, the voters that voted for biden before throwing things at him are parasites.

They all just need to be shipped to Afghanistan and left there.

Gusty Winds said...

I don't even need to know the morons on the Trinity College committee who decided to give Hunter this joke award. I can already write their profiles.

Ireland has gone insane. Are must still be drinking absinthe.

Dave Begley said...

Trinity College has completely disgraced itself.

Mr. D said...

Milk the public for 50 years, then get pelted with milk cartons. I further assume that Hunter's award came from one of those online ratings grifts that declares something random as the best in the world without ever disclosing their criteria or methodology, the kind that always gets a story on the local news.

Gusty Winds said...

What book did Joe Biden write?? "The Art of the Steal"?

Aggie said...

It should be pointed out that the College Historical Society (Hist) is a student debating club.

The pictures of Joe at the event are pretty sad, he's got that wide-eyed demented look that shows his semi-permanent state of being startled by his surroundings.

“Public discourse”?

gspencer said...

1. A Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse!

2. For Hunter!

Everything has turned to DRECK!

“It heightens my skepticism”

Althouse, your skepticism is heightening my skepticism. Biden aides were already shutting off microphones whenever he tried to answer an unscripted question early on in his Presidential term. There’s no reason to believe his facilities have improved in subsequent years.

Jaq said...

"'Public discourse'?"

Yes, it's a kind of public intercourse.

Ambrose said...

Ireland is another of those places where all the good people took their DNA and left for the USA long ago.
