Considering Hunter Biden was the victim of a politically motivated witch hunt, and not an actual criminal. I have no problem with this,
It’s not like Hunter was a convicted felon serving as President, or any political office. If y’all want to try to throw the rock of corruption, you might want to leave that glass house or step away from the windows
yeah it can happen to anybody. sometimes you just forget to pay $1.4M you owe in taxes from the millions of dollars of dubious payments from overseas organizations (Burisma Holdings) owned by Russian oligarchs (Mykola Zlochevsky) that just happened to be investigated, tried and convicted of corruption
you know what message this sends to us plebs? they can do whatever the fuck they want. all we can do is sit and watch
If the law truly means nothing, then may it be exposed as such and may all do as they will.
Yeah no actual crimes that is why he plead guilty to all of them.
He can both have committed the crimes and have only been attacked as a member of the upper class because of a political jab. The judicial system being used for petty revenge doesn't make it better when it mostly just discredits the system and the position of the president.
You do realize they had solid evidence of. at least, one 3rd degree felony, ~~owning a firearm when previous convictions bar you from doing so~~ committed fraud on the paperwork to own a gun. right? He has been in criminal trouble, doing things many people are spending decades in prison for, and has never had a serious issue because daddy is Joe Biden. You know, one of the biggest signatories to the drug war, that Joe Biden? Fuck him.
He was not a felon. That rule applies to felony convictions. And can be repaired by the state that convicted you.
The charges were for buying a gun while being an addict.
Ok, I was wrong about it being barred. He got a felony fraud charge for lying on the paperwork to own the gun. It is still a crime, and he still did it. The charges aren't fake. My point still stands that he is going to not have anything happen, again, because he is a nepo-baby, fuck him. There are people in prison for this, right now, and his dad was one of the biggest political agents behind the types of laws he broke. Rules for thee, and all that.
I don't care who his dad is the law is a thought crime that can get you put in prison on nothing more than innuendo. Make a bad joke about drugs after going to a shooting range? You too can go to prison.
And it's rarely used as anything more than an add on charge because of its constitutional dubiousness. We shouldn't be okay with this happening to anyone.
