    Where are the business collusion charges then?

    Likely where the mishandling classified documents charges for Trump ended up.

    The gun charges should have been brought years ago

    Or not at all, because they’re bad laws that are capriciously enforced by Police/DAs/Judges more interested in chasing the media spotlight than any kind of public safety standard. Hunter go thrown to the wolves in order to prove the court system is fair, because he was any serious safety risk.

    people who listen to mold like AOC don’t have any brain cells either.

    The fixation on trashing a junior house rep with good fundraising numbers above any number of USAs, police chiefs, and judicial appointees with actual power is curious. People lose their fucking minds any time AOC gets handed a mic in a way I never see aimed at a Gavin Newsom or Ron DeSantis or Eric Adams.

    One almost begins to wonder if this outrage is manufactured by the Two Minute Hate mass media. Are you in any way sincere in your anger, or are you just passing down what you heard on the AM Radio this morning?

      Fucking lol. ALL leftist claim they want more gun laws. But for Hunter “they’re bad laws”.

      What a joke. Democracy is dead, Democrats killed it. (then blamed white men)

          Let not forget Biden specifically campaigned for more gun laws.

          Whatever you call them, pretending that now, suddenly, they’re ‘bad laws’ is yet another example of how The Left™ says one thing then does another. Without double-standards they’d have none at all.

            Why do you think the guy who gave the eulogy at Strom Thurmond’s funeral is farther to The Left than the guy who signed the Mulford Act in California?

            Without double-standards they’d have none at all.

            Tough on Crime Conservatives have been carving away at gun rights for over 80 years. Whether it was the National Rifle Association, condemning the Smith & Wesson Magnum revolver as a weapon that should be exclusively carried by the police or the Klu Klux Klan’s gun-grabbing Jim Crow laws passed in the Deep South, or the Gun Free School Zone Act (what a fucking joke) that was championed and signed by George Herbert Walker Bush in 1990 or the Trump militarization of the US-Mexico border under the pretext of halting gun traffic, Republicans have always staunchly defended the right of state governments to take your firearms.

            Biden might be President of the liberal party, but he’s played up his “centrist” credentials through his championship of conservative gun control measures. He is right in line with the Republican mainstream on this subject.

        Why isn’t the NRA defending Hunter Biden against this unjust law? Same or different reason they didn’t defend Philando Castile?
