Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

If you switch some of those names around it's sounds just like four years ago when Trump was leaving office....
You get that, right?
Like, Hunter was a crackhead that lied to get a gun, and then they abandoned the gun in a trashcan like, right next to a school, and then said when they went back for it, someone had taken it
Hunter is not some innocent child. He's a crackhead in his 50s who has lived a life of luxury free of consequences due to political connections.
Don't forget Biden wrote the 92 crime bill, he's ruined innumerable lives of actual children because of that.
If you can't see the hypocrisy, you probably don't understand why 1/3 of voters dont vote.
His situation is over publicized, so he can't have a fair case. I agree. He sounds like a piece of shit. There's a reason there's not supposed to be cameras in court, though.
His situation is published...
His auto biography provides the whole story, there's hard evidence to line up when the gun was bought, rehab records for drug use...
He's guilty. I dont think he's even tried to deny it...
And you realize your logic could be applied to people like Rudy, Mike Pillow, and trump himself?
You're inventing reasons why Hunter should escape consequences, but the thing is anything you come up with, can be applied to republicans in the exact same way.
Seriously. Before you try to excuse his behavior, replace it with "Don Jr" and think about if you still think it's a good reason.
Maybe you can? Maybe your consistent on anyone born into the ruling wealthy class gets zero consequences. But lots more people only want it for their "team".
So I'm hoping changing the name helps you understand.
You've lost sight of why Biden pardoned Hunter. It had nothing at all to do with the merits of case of the interests of criminal justice. It had to do with preserving the institutions of democracy for the immediate years to come.
You can't "both sides" this one.
You think to do that, Biden's one and only course of action was pardoning his soon, and now it's mission fucking accomplished?
It's a national security risk to give custody of the former president's son to Donald Trump.
The idea right now is to give Trump less avenues of control over institutions of democracy, and that includes a former law abiding president, his pulpit, and his classified knowledge.
Can you see that?
You replied to me a couple times saying that, without ever explaining how you think that's true...
You can't just repeat nonsense over and over and it becomes true eventually

Seems obvious.
No. They quite literally cannot get that. They will find a way to contort themselves into believing that Biden is a responsible dignified statesman who is forced into every stupid, evil or corrupt thing he does, up to and including genocide.
