Nothing has “happened” yet, seeing that Hunter is still not in the slammer. Moreover, nothing is going to happen. Nothing ever does.

  I feel like I'm living in an alternative dimension when somebody worries about that when we have someone like Trump literally running for president and with a high likelihood of winning, like someone buying a gun after using drugs its a matter of massive importance when we have a jackass this close to being president who literally stole from charity and would convert muslins, black people and mexicans into slaves if he could.

    I’m not the one arguing for moral superiority that Democrats purportedly have over Republicans, which is the point the OP was unsuccessfully trying to make. Truth is: the probability of seeing the inside of a jail cell is markedly lower for the rich and well connected, irrespective of their political affiliation.

      this is quite a different statement from "nothing ever happens".

        But nothing ever does if you know the right people. Prima facie evidence is Epstein’s client list which our DOJ is categorically not interested in investigating.

  I'll never understand this obsession with Hunter Biden. I'm sure he's a fuck up or was a fuck up as a drug addict. He's probably had all types of questionable dealings being who he is but his list of crimes are: 1. Failure to pay income tax 2. Illegally owning a gun and lying about it Both are bad with the second being worse IMO. Here are just a couple people who Trump pardoned and their crimes: - Roger Stone (convicted of obstruction, making false statements, and witness tampering) - Steve Bannon (charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering) - Three U.S. military officers who were accused or convicted of war crimes - Chris Collins (Congressman convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, securities fraud, and lying to the FBI) - Duncan Hunter (Congressman convicted of one count of misusing campaign funds) - Steve Stockman (Congressman convicted of money laundering, mail and wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to make "conduit contributions" and false statements) - Paul Pogue (Convicted of making and subscribing a false tax return) - Bernard Kerik (Obstructing the administration of the Internal Revenue Laws; aiding in the preparation of a false income tax return; making false statements on a loan application; making false statements) This is a small list of pardons but all of these seem for the most part like worse or similar crimes than what Hunter Biden is guilty. Again, I don't doubt Hunter Biden is a fuck up but as far as I know he's not been pardoned by his father.
