    Well, think about it; Reagan really was diminished, but we knew his strings were being pulled by Bush Senior and other cronies.

    For Biden to be diminished, and string pulled, Kamala has to be the evil genius, and they can't utter that shit out loud.

    So, Biden's brain has to be a Schrodinger's Cat box.
    It's nonsense, but nonsense that keeps right-wing pundits from being lynched by "the base".

    That Hunter wasn't immediately executed via drone strike is just proof that everything is rigged in favour of the Dems! :shakefist:

    Called it.

    House and Senate Republicans have been quick to criticize the plea deal between the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden, arguing Tuesday that the charges brought against President Joe Biden’s son exemplify what they describe as the weaponization of the DOJ.

    The reaction underscores how the charges brought by the DOJ as the result of a five-year investigation led by a Donald Trump appointee will not deter Republicans on Capitol Hill, particularly GOP lawmakers who control the House and by extension the committees, from pursuing their own probes into the Biden family.

    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy dismissed the fact that the US attorney was a Trump holdover when asked by CNN’s Manu Raju.

    “You think it’s equal and fair that a political opponent is going to be given jail time, but a presidential son – and if you compare this to other individuals in America that have the same accusations against them, same crimes that they had been guilty of, that they were proposed to have 10 years and other time periods – I think that’s a difference of justice,” McCarthy said.

    The argument that the Justice Department has been politicized against conservatives has been central to how House Republicans approach their congressional investigations, how they frame their defense of Trump and how they rationalize the cuts in funding they want to make to the DOJ and specifically the FBI across the board through the House appropriations process.

    House Oversight Chairman James Comer criticized the Justice Department for only giving Hunter Biden “a slap on the wrist,” saying he received a “sweetheart plea deal.”

    Honestly I can't help but feel Hunter should fall on his sword here and spend some time in jail

    I think that the prevailing conspiracy theory would be that Antifa/the Left/George Soros/"global elites" wink-wink, nudge-nudge are puppeteering Biden, not Harris.

    Nothing short of Joe Biden handing the presidency over to Trump and then committing suicide on live tv is going to stop the Republicans from "investigating" the many alleged atrocities committed by "the Biden crime family." It was exactly the same way with Hillary. (Remember when Federal Farmer was willing to go to war over Hillary's emails, then a bunch of people in the Trump administration did the exact same thing and he didn't care?)

    Why bother doing anything to placate critics that will never be satisfied?

    Well, while I respect and perhaps even envy Hunter's OG player life of first class and 5 star travel and doing blow with hookers, I don't really give a fuck about him and his freedom, and from what I understand sentences for felonies can range anywhere from one year to life in prison, so it does seem like he's getting off a bit light here

    You think a black guy is going to get a slap on the wrist for lying about his drug use while purchasing a firearm with a touch of tax evasion?

    The accounts I'm seeing is that Hunter will plead to two misdemeanors of failing to file income taxes and the prosecutors are going to drop the gun charge, which would have been a felony and which sounds weird to me and possibly unconstitutional. It is apparently a felony to possess a gun as a drug user?

    https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-charges-income-tax-weapon-ea6b78d4bac037da24b485985b99bc1c

    Now, it's part of the unfairness of the system that not paying $100k in taxes on $1.5m annual income (I think that's the figure I saw) could be considered a misdemeanor, while stealing like over (say) $1k is a felony depending on the jurisdiction. But I'd guess a first-time convicted misdemeanant would not get an actual jail sentence 9 times out of 10, regardless of race/class/etc.

    They're all interested in Hunter's sword and stuff being impaled on it.

    I'll grant you that, but even @Bill Carson will tell you that's just how the system works currently. I do support reforming the system, but no amount of sacrificial coke addicts will accomplish that. :clyde:

    No it doesn't have to be Harris pulling the strings, Wilson's wife was pulling his strings after he had his stroke. Nobody has to play along with the scenarios you come up with, there can but a scenario that you didn't come up with can can be true.

    Apparently this is actually on the harsher side of the spectrum.

    And holy fuck that drug user law is fucking nuts and includes marijuana!

    So anyone living in a civilized state, uses legalized weed and owns a firearm is a potential felon. :shock:

    I did just see on Twitter that Roger Stone settled a $2 million unpaid tax case with the DOJ last year, wasn't charged criminally and didn't even get probation so perhaps you are right

    Yeah, where is Gunforge to complain about this federal law saying if you are a user of illegal drugs and possess a firearm, you have committed a felony?

    At home, washing their tights!

    For what it's worth, my copy of the 2nd Amendment doesn't read, "...unless one uses an arbitrarily prohibited substance."

    There’s a lot of shit not in the bill of rights that falls under the category of “needless to say”. However, now that I see I have to say it, maybe it should have been implicitly stated.

    No, the 9th protects abortion among other things.

    The 10th doesn't do anything.

    Meh. This way they can say "see, we go after people on the Left too" when they go after Trump. They didn't go after a Dem politician, mind you, but still someone connected with a Dem. It's all political kabuki theater.
