Just so everyone is on the same page, here’s the timeline as I understand it now: Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s only surviving son, began dating Beau Biden’s widow Hallie shortly after Beau’s death. Hunter and Hallie broke up earlier this year. We now know that the breakup happened because Hunter was screwing around on Hallie with a stripper whose real name is Lunden Alexis Roberts. Lunden got pregnant. Hunter Biden then met a woman named Melissa Cohen – a young, South African Instagram-model type – and they had a whirlwind romance and elopement. They married less than two weeks after they first met. Just after their elopement, Lunden Roberts served Hunter with a paternity claim. He denied knowing her and denied fathering the child. He eventually took a court-ordered paternity test and it turns out the kid is his. And now he doesn’t want to pay child support. And he’s fired his lawyers.
Hunter Biden was a no-show for an Arkansas court hearing Monday in the paternity case against him – as his lawyers unexpectedly filed papers saying they’d been fired, according to reports. The motion by Biden’s attorneys to withdraw from his case was filed moments before the scheduled hearing in Independence County Circuit Court in Batesville, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Former Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel and two co-counsels cited an unspecified “irreconcilable conflict” and also said Biden’s “personal attorney” had “advised undersigned counsel of discharge,” the paper said.
Although Biden, 49, didn’t attend the hearing, the woman who’s suing him – Lunden Alexis Roberts, 28 – sat in the front row of the gallery, wearing a striking, black and white outfit and three-inch heels, according to the Daily Mail. Afterward, Roberts and her father left the courthouse without comment, the Mail said.
Last week, The Post exclusively revealed that Biden was regular at a Washington, DC, strip club where Roberts performed under the stage name “Dallas” around the time that he broke up with his late brother’s widow. Roberts sued Biden in May over the child she gave birth to in August 2018. She’s seeking child support and more than $11,000 in attorney’s fees and court costs.
Although Biden initially denied having had sex with Roberts, she filed court papers last month that said DNA testing proved his paternity “with scientific certainty.” In response, Biden filed court papers that said he was “not contesting paternity” but needed more time to “consult with his accountants.”
During Monday’s hearing, Judge Don McSpadden ordered both Biden and Roberts to submit their financial information ahead of another hearing on Jan. 7, the Democrat-Gazette said.
What’s worth noting in this sea of shenanigans and malarkey is that Hunter Biden really doesn’t want his finances made public, nor does he want to submit any financial statements to a court. Which… bugs me. I mean, it sucks for Lunden Roberts, obviously, because she’s paying for their child out of pocket at the moment. But it sucks even harder because Hunter Biden is a shady mess. I’ve said this before – I 100% KNOW that Donald Trump should be impeached and that his quid pro quo with Ukraine was all about dirtying up the Bidens. That’s one issue. The other issue is that… Hunter Biden really is this f–king sketchy. He doesn’t want to reveal his finances for a reason.
And yes, it occurs to me that the Republicans could have used a multi-pronged dirty-tricks scheme to “get” the Bidens. It occurs to me that Lunden Roberts could have honey-trapped Hunter Biden and the GOP could be paying her bills right now. But that doesn’t negate the fact that Hunter Biden is an idiot and he walked into this mess entirely.

Now, now…let’s not give Republicans that much credit. Hunter fell into that honey trap all by his lonesome. So messy. So gross.
Some men are so f*cking stupid. He gets what he deserves. If the DNA test proved it’s his kid, he should pay up. Should have thought about that before jumping into bed with her !
Agreed and let’s not forget the just as stupid women who actually willingly lie with these dumb dogs and bring kids into this mess. His 1st Ex wife is the only winner here.
@ Jb
Yes for sure, equal blame for both men and women. Too many people bringing kids into toxic situations. It’s irresponsible.
What is wrong with these stupid men. Do they not keep a condom in their wallets?
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Lol
It is supposed that Ukraine is a smokescreen for Russia relative to Trump’s misdealings. Read the Lisa Page article, as one source for that idea. I like to point this out often because the geopolitical ramifications and Trump’s position become much different when you consider Russia as the primary culprit.
The way Trump projects, I’m
100% certain he coordinated/coordinates with Russia and cheated to win in 2016.
He says the left spied on him and worked with a foreign country to help Hillary? That’s precisely what he did…spied on rivals and worked with a foreign country.
Add in the fact Putin is the one person he’s never insulted. Ever. It all adds up that Trump is guilty of what he accuses others of.
Oh and does anyone remember the days when the left/Hillary was supposed to have conspired with Russia, instead of Trump? “You’re the puppet you’re the puppet “? Now it’s Ukraine they were working with? GMAFB.
“…guilty of what he accuses others of.” is a classic narcissist gaslighting technique. It has the added benefit of deflecting attention as now we are discussing whether I did the ish in question. It’s infuriating. They do it all the time.
God, Hunter is a mess. Always has been. It makes me nervous that he doesn’t want to release his financials. I like delving into the psychology: what makes him so messy? Trauma of surviving when his mom and sister died in that tragic car crash? Feeling like second-place to his public servant brother? Who knows.
It’s a good question, and who knows what that kind of early trauma does to someone. I mean, it is a really horrible thing that happened. But I can wait for the book to find out, the bottom line is we better think one thousand times before we nominate Joe.
Probably all of the above? He also received a traumatic brain injury from that car accident, and since he was so young, there’s no telling how his personality/judgment would be different had the accident never occured.
I was just thinking the same thing. His behavior is profoundly self destructive on so many levels. What’s happening in that brain of his?!
Yes, I agree Kaiser. We need some nuanced thinking here, as you indicate. I am terrified we are walking straight into 4 more years if we nominate Biden. God help us.
oh, we definitely are. Trump was a backlash to the Obama years (not saying Trump was the right person, but republicans were clearly fired up), and if Biden is nominated, those republicans will stick with their disaster.
Oh i’m not worried about getting republican votes. No dem will. I am worried about our own turnout, and whatever few true independents are left in this country.
I don’t like Biden or trump and hunter equals don jr imo. I wouldn’t vote for Biden even without hunter. I’m sure Obama was pressured into taking Biden as vp so he could get more of the white vote. I’ve never cared for him. But I’m ok w Republicans doing a smear job on Biden, takes the heat off other potential better candidates
I liked Joe well enough as VP. But he’s getting old.
And Hunter is a train wreck.
It’s just not going to work.
Your ok w Republicans doing a smear job on Biden? Do you mean in the typical ethical way, or in the way where our president requires a foreign leader to announce a sham investigation in order to get his aid?
It’s crazy how messy Hunter is. The Bidens have another daughter we never hear anything scandalous about meanwhile Hunter is out there, living his best Days of Our lives drama.
He should pay her for the time she wasn’t able to perform at her job due to her pregnancy & birth, and pay child support, immediately. Then let’s say goodbye to the Bidens.
I entertained the possibility of this pregnancy being a long con by the GOP, but realized that it could have all been avoided (or a good chance it would have) had Biden worn a condom. And shame on him for getting (unprotected) strange when he was in a relationship with someone else at the time (his brother’s widow, which is another whole nasty issue altogether).
I would also be concerned that this new wife isn’t some operative. Sounds nuts but we live in a nutty world.
Man he looks rough. His drug abuse really shows on his face.
I’d rather Hunter’s messiness be played out in the media now for everyone to see than be used for leverage by Trump/Russian/Ukrainian trolls to undermine Biden’s campaign. And I’m not a Biden fan, I just don’t want Trump or the Republican party to get their way through this kind of illegally obtained info. I do wonder what Joe thinks about his son. Dare I say Beau was his favorite child?
But yeah the guy is a hot mess and the John Edwards of this campaign round. I think he and Hallie were probably only together for a few months before she wised up that she could not possibly replace her husband with his extremely disastrous brother. I think they broke up way earlier last year sometime and we only heard about it because Hunter eloped all of a sudden.
You’re telling me this almost 50 year old man has been in a relationship with his sister-in-law, married another woman he barely knew, and had a baby with a woman he met while she worked as a stripper? Good lord. He and Don Jr. would be great friends in alternative circumstances.
Damn, the look in his eyes! Man has got some demons. His name should be Hunted not Hunter.
Yeah this guy is gross. I wonder if he married the first one that came around to offset the fact that he moved onto his SIL so soon after his brother’s death. That and the fact that he was out messing around with strippers at the same time, And then found out the stripper was pregnant and he was advised to get married quick to make things not look so bad. Seeing as his father is running for President. Whatever the truth is he is gross and an unconscionable pig, imo.
You could claim the GOP did a long con or honey-trapped him or whatever…but someone who goes after his sister-in-law after she’s been widowed, then cheats on her with a stripper, then marries a woman he met two weeks ago is not someone with good judgment.
Occam’s razor says he didn’t need anyone’s help to make his life messy.
And if his messiness is possibly the result of a traumatic brain injury when he was young, then he does have my sympathy, but he also needs to step up and support the child he helped create.
