    Tax charges?

    He was a crackhead that illegally bought a gun after lying on federal forms and then abandoned the gun in a trash can where it was gone by the time his wife found it…

    Now, I’m not a CPA, but how is that a “tax charge”?

    If anything, Hunter Biden was treated harshly — those crimes are rarely charged.”

    I do appreciate that quote literally using Trump’s own excuse for tax fraud tho…

    But you should but an /s or something or people will think you actually believe what the quote claims.

      The gun indictment was revealed as part of his tax investigation.

      Kinda like when they investigated Clinton for Whitewater and found out he lied about a blowjob.

      In both cases, the crimes are rarely prosecuted. The only reason they were prosecuted was because Clinton is Clinton and Hunter is Hunter.

        The reason the gun charges are rarely prosecuted is most people aren’t dumb enough to admit it in an autobiography and do book tours talking about and verify you did in fact break federal gun laws…

        Most people wouldnt do that because they’re afraid of prison.

        Hunter Biden wasnt, even though his dad promised not to pardon him and that “no one is above the law”

        And now he’s pardoned. Either Biden was always going to do this and lied to us, or the US president just got punked by his adult son in a way I thought only Netenyahu could punk him.

        I’m honestly not sure which would be worse.

        Which do you think happend?

        1. Biden lied and was always going to do this

        2. A geriatric man just got manipulated by his adult crackhead son

        3. Mystery answer you havent came up with yet

        Because it’s hard to act like it’s because of the charges being bullshit now when they’re the same charges as when Biden said he was staying out of it.

        The only thing that changed is Joe and Hunter both expected Joe’s DOJ to let Hunter off

          1. Biden was willing to let the charges stand right up until Trump got elected and started talking about how he was going to pardon everyone from 1/6 onward.

          “Oh, so he’s going to abuse pardon power? Fine, fuck it, Hunter gets a pardon.”

            Close but missed it.

            Biden was willing until Trump won because with Trump running the DOJ, letting the DOJ have custody of Biden’s son is a massive national security risk.

            That was never going to happen.
