Episode notes
Enabling Pathology
- The Bidens enable Hunter's pathology by portraying him as a victim.
- This mirrors the Democrats' tendency to victimize criminals, which amplifies criminal consequences.
Early Intervention for Aggression
- Address childhood aggression early with prosocial encouragement.
- Limit and stringently punish aggressive manifestations; don't enable them.
Invalid Excuses
- The Bidens' excuses for Hunter's actions resemble those for a juvenile delinquent.
- This is inappropriate given Hunter's age (50), as such excuses are invalid beyond adolescence.
