CE would be having a pool party if any of the Trump kids caught a gun charge and they'd also be mad when they didn't go to jail over it.

They also are all for enhanced background checks, but plenty itt alone are acting like it isn't a big deal to lie on a federal gun background check. They even downplaying the size of the gun lol

I don't like Biden or Trump, or pretty much anyone in the federal government, but hypocrisy is hypocrisy.

Comparing real reactions to how you hypothesize people would react to a hypothetical situation is not hypocrisy even though multiple words start with hypo. No one on these boards expects a gun handling charge to be something so serious that the Trump kids cant wiggle out of.

I can't wait to the the liberals giving a felon a pass on getting caught with a weapon, acting like they weren't trying to ban them the last decade

Most of us here have already said that they will not be voting for Hunter Biden.

There is no hypocrisy here.

People want the background checks for violent criminals and abusers or to stop potential mass shooters.

I dont care about drug users. This is not the same as the sensible gun control reform people want.

I would vote for him if forced to choose between him and any Republican that will be.

All these rich privileged bastards can go to hell. There is no need to jump to their defense in any case.

Yemmy got dog piled

yemmy is the textbook example of the so-called "centrist" who maintains that balance by defending the right and criticizing the left.

And he's so transparent about it that no one is buying his shit

Also that law about him not being able to possess a gun while a drug user is pretty unconstitutional anyway. In some states you cant own a gun if you smoke weed even if weed is legal there

the 2nd amendment Stans should be defending him on this one

Who's defending Hunter Biden in this topic?

Maybe it's different for me, but...how do you fail to pay income taxes? Isn't it automatically taken out of your income?

You are aware that every year you still have to file with the IRS, right? And you could still owe more than they took throughout the year or you might get a refund if they took too much.

I see. I file taxes, but I've never had them say that I owed more. Guess I'm just lucky.

Well it depends on income brackets and other factors.

Very true. You'd think they'd have either caught the discrepancy or hid it better.

About what? He didnt pay some taxes? Okay, so pay them off plus the fine for not paying and be done with it.

I'mma be honest. I'd vote for Hunter Biden over anyone the GOP puts up.

Do you think Hunter will run in the Republican primaries? Bad ass, gun toting criminal against his own father. It's the best candidate they could ask for.

Need me to go on? Deflections to the republican party and saying "well he's not running for president!" Do you honestly think he would've gotten off this easy if he wasn't the president's son?

You've failed the assignment.

With how much you people scream about deflection, I'd think you'd understand what it is, or does it only count when republicans deflect?

This is LITERALLY deflection lmao. Like this is absolutely the textbook definition of deflection.

The deflector will redirect the conversation to focus on something their target did wrong to escape having to take accountability for their own actions.

I am fucking dying. Youre hilarious

The only reason we're even talking about Hunter Biden at all is because of Republicans using him to deflect away from Trump in the first place.

Like, do you not realize that the vast majority of the responses in this topic are themselves a response to that? Because we already know for a fact that Republicans are going to blow up this story to distract from Trump's much worse crimes

Then there's other people in the topic saying they don't give a fuck if Hunter Biden gets charged and sentenced for this.

Yeah, those posts aren't deflection lol

Id wager if you scrutinized just about every rich persons taxes youd find some misdemeanor to charge them with

why do you think republicans so badly want to defund the irs

I can't believe the government has weaponized the justice system to make up phony charges just to make Hunter Biden look bad

"But I bet if Hunter BIDEN was getting investigated by the DoJ, you LIBRUHLS would jump to defend him!"

"Actually, we don't care. If he broke the law, he should be held accountable too."

"NUH-UH, YOU GUYS ARE HYPOCRITES! YOU TOTALLY CARE!"

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



The best part is both actually didn't read was was being typed but instead went off what THEY wanted everyone to say. And then tried to put the round peg in the square hole and got embarrassed as they always do. So excited to do the whole "You're hypocrites" thing they clowned themselves.

More GOP whining "No, not like that!"

You'd think the chuds would read this news and be excited. Instead they're still just crying. Goes to show that even they think these charges are pointless but they're too tribalistic to admit as much.

Well good for him to copping to it.

Excellent, I'm glad to see that being the spawn of a president doesn't put one above the law. With these revelations, I'm now confident that I simply cannot vote for Hunter Biden.

Now, since this precedent has been established, we should take a look at the children of all former presidents. May as well go from the most recent backwards...

Nah, he was a regular GOP defender on 261. He was just one of those "I'm a real leftist buuuut" types.

Ruvan22 posted...

Yes, he lied on the forms before buying the gun.

"The gun purchase that led to the criminal charge happened in late 2018, at a time when, by his own telling in his autobiography, Hunter Biden was regularly abusing crack cocaine. When he filled out paperwork to buy the gun, however, he denied using drugs or having a drug problem, exposing him to a potential charge of making a false statement on the document, as well as illegal gun possession once he acquired the weapon. Biden owned the gun for less than two weeks, because his then-girlfriend threw it away, according to public accounts of that time period."

I dont really know what more you want out of this. He pled guilty to failure to pay taxes, not tax evasion. Nobody goes to jail for that. They pay a fine.

And if the below is true, then it was highly unusual for somebody like Hunter Biden to be charged at all let along receive a sentence for the gun possession charge.

Sidenote, I cant wait for the NRA to come out in defense of Hunter Bidens right to own and possess a firearm. Any minute now Im sure its coming.

Yeah, let's just talk about the lowest crime he's been charged with. Let's omit the drug and tax issues this privileged rich kid has been facing no consequences for while millions of Americans are sitting in prison for the same (or lesser) crimes.

I literally quoted posts defending this and then you people, to extra super duper prove to me that you aren't defending hunter, decided to not read what I quoted and claimed those messages weren't in defense of hunter.

How is: "About what? He didnt pay some taxes? Okay, so pay them off plus the fine for not paying and be done with it." not a defense of hunter? Suddenly not paying taxes is not serious?

Bullshit. Stop lying about me. I've attacked the republican party many times but you and others like you choose to ignore that because it makes you feel better pretending that someone who disagrees with you couldn't possibly be to the left of you. In your bubble, democrats are the most progressive anyone could be.
