Hey, Everybody, it's Friday, June 5th, 2026. I'm Allison Gill and this is Beans Talk. Hey, everybody, Happy Friday. Dana's out today. She'll be back Monday, so I'm looking forward to seeing again. Thanks for hanging out with me solo and while we wait with bated breath for the video of staffers removing Donald Trump's name from the front of the Kennedy Center. And I am looking forward to that video. It is going to go viral. I wanted to draw your attention to some glorious happening on Twitter. You know, I don't call it X, I call it Twitter. I wanted to give you this gift so that you can follow along. This may continue over the weekend. It may continue indefinitely. But there's something amazing going on over on Twitter. Hunter Biden is replying to right wing nutjobs and MAGA idiots and it is so bringing me life right now. So I wanted to share a few of my favorites. And I know Twitter is horrible. It's a Nazi cesspool wasteland. And we're all over on Blue sky now. But you can't find Nazi trolls to reply to and make fun of as readily on Blue Sky. So that is why we're doing that here today. Uh, so here we go. Or as Hunter Biden said to it's all a joke. Who said, shut the fuck up, crackhead. This crackhead has lots to say. So buckle your seatbelt, my friend. Let's start. Let's start with a tweet from Gary Bob, who I guess is taking after Marquene Mullen by having two first names. And he said, maybe you could write a book on the finer points of smoke and crack. To which Hunter Biden replied, I did, and it's not a how to. That would be irresponsible. But I do go into my crack addiction In Depth in Beautiful Things, which came out a few years ago. That book is available if, you know, if you need it. I. I own a copy. It's absolutely wonderful book, but that was a really great clap back. Or how about this tweet from Ms. Jewis who said, I refuse to ever be on the side of this pedophile named Hunter Biden. And Hunter replied, what the fuck are you talking about? Do you all drink from the same poisoned well? There are so many other true things you could say, like crackhead, criminal, I am a convicted felon, drunk, et cetera. It's just so lazy. Do better. Fantastic. How about this one? This from Jack Edwards, who said, please stop with the Epstein lies. You sound dumb. He was your guy. He supported your party. Trump had nothing to do with him. You know it. But you will purposely lie to make friends with the Tucker and Candace of the world. We're not buying it, clown face. To which Hunter Biden replied, now who's smoking crack? Oh, fantastic. Here's a good one. Robert asks, why are you not in prison? Show us the laptop. And Hunter Biden says, because I got a pardon. The entire contents of multiple hard drives and my cloud were hacked and or stolen and have been available online for the last five years. Thank you for your interest in this matter. Why are you not in prison? I was pardoned. Next, how about Stefan Smith, who says a lot of this Biden stuff is money leaving office. The offers weren't there for him. The speaking engagements, board offers and other lucrative deals didn't materialize. The Biden book tours aren't just settling scores. They need the cash. And Hunter goes, yep, you caught him. Mom and dad were gonna sell bibles and cell phones and golden sneakers and NFTs and Chinese watches and colog, but we wouldn't. You know, someone beat them to the punch. They were left with only one choice. To write two books, like every former first lady and president has done in modern history. Yep, you got us. I love Hunter Biden. Or how about this Manny who queries your paintings? Who gives a fuck? I want to know how much coke you snorted before posting this tweet. And Hunter says, man, if you're going to be mean, at least get it right. I smoked crack. I would never have wasted coke on snorting it. I'm dying. All right, check this out. This is a tweet from someone named Slaps Stroganoff with, hey, Hunter, you should probably stay off social media unless you're a masochist. And then Hunter Biden says, doesn't bother me. Slaps. How often do you look at these pictures in a day? Your name is Slap Stroganoff. And my favorite, Hunter's reply to Ken Dunn, who says, you sound bitter for someone who benefited from a stolen erection. And Hunter says, I've never stolen an erection in my life. So thank you, Hunter Biden. I got to meet Hunter Biden at the 2024 White House Christmas party, and he and I talked for quite a while. It's really quite uncanny how much he sounds just like his father with his mannerisms and the way that he speaks and his vocal patterns. We talked for a long time. We talked about veterans issues. We talked about homelessness in Los Angeles and how he's fighting to help get the veterans campus there in Los Angeles to be used to house homeless veterans. It hasn't been. And there's been a lot of corrupt stuff that's gone on with that campus. We talked about that. We talked about his. That just how much he loves his dad and how much his dad loves him despite everything and. And how important that was to him. Really, truly an amazing, gracious person. And I just love to see this over on Twitter. So if, you know you won't need a good laugh, head to Hunter Biden's Twitter account and click on the replies because you can see his posts. But if you click on replies right next to it, you can see all of these that I have shared with you and more. And I imagine we'll see more in the future. I thought I would give you that gift before we head into the weekend and I appreciate you watching. As you know, Dana's out. She'll be back on Monday. She'll also be back on Monday for the Daily Beans podcast, which you should listen to. That's also free. All of our content is free. We don't believe in paywalls because we think it's important to get the truth out out there. So thank you so very much for watching and we'll see you Monday on the Beans News. We're swearing
