BREAKING: Hunter Biden Cops a Sweetheart Plea Deal - No Jail time
2023-06-20
Posted by:DarthVader

#26  Those January 6th political prisoners did less (if anything) than what our artiste did.

#25  DEEPER... WHAT IF THOUGHT.

A political deal was made to allow Hunter to skate in exchange for some type of DOJ cease fire on Trump?

#24  It's the stuff people talk about among themselves, not the curated lies of the lamestream media that will do the damage.

#23  The leftist control of most media isn't enough to prevent people from occasionally getting the facts.

At this point, most people still want election integrity despite years of leftist agiprop on the subject.

Likewise, affirmative action is opposed by a solid majority.

Likewise a solid majority thinks Biden is too old and/or crazy and/or senile to be Pres again.

#20  As to "they", paraphrasing: "I admire their purity... unclouded by conscience, remorse or delusions of morality. I can't lie to you about our chances, but you have my sympathies.".

#19  As a rule, tipping points look unremarkable in hindsight. The notion that this isn't bad enough to be it is probably incorrect.

#18  I think we can all agree on that.

#17  I declare Bidenweiser.

#16  I dunno, Super. Hope you're right but MSM will make scant mention of this and then drop it down the Memory Hole. Since most people get all of their information from the TV nightly news, that could well be all that comes of it. A lot of people know what it's like to have one or more "troubled individuals" in their families. The point will be made that Hunter is not Joe and Joe didn't know. MSM will not contradict it. Target and Bud Lite will ride out the storm without apology. Biden's puppet masters will try to do the same.

#15  ^^^^
Ditto

#14  They went too far. They won’t know it for weeks because the shift will happen in the 40 states that they pay no attention to.
Posted by: Super Hose   2023-06-20 14:18  

#13  ^ I think this is correct. They can't help themselves and they don't even recognize they have a problem.

And by "they," I mean the entire dem party, the media (but I repeat myself) and the deep state, which includes many people whose ideology is neither left nor right, but "me."

#12  The “investigation” will be ongoing for the purposes of stonewalling any action against the Bidens.

It does not matter. In reality, this is the Bud Lite can for our favorite Delaware crime syndicate. Joe’s polls will tank tonight and there will be no plateau. This action was DC business as usual in an environment where the American people have no more patience.
The toilet will now be plunged and flushed. By the end of July, everyone will be talking about what a bad mistake this was. Like the Target CEOs, all of the Washington crowd will be brainstorming how to JBWeld their Humpty back into the papier-mâché puppet that had been so useful for their purposes. It won’t work. This day was neap tide in their dukey show. Now they will flow out to their doom. The last chance to step on the beach has passed at noon. The Titanic is in the news for a reason that they did not discern. Bon Voyage.

#10  How long until the big guy pardons him?

#9  are we sure this is the end of the investigation

the charges don't cover 'acting as a unregistered foreign agent' which seems like an obvious charge

also, money laundering seems obvious

#8  Joe said Hunter is grounded on Friday nights all Summer and can only drive the Corvette to Church on Sunday.

#7  /\ The 'proper procedure' would have involved electricity.
Posted by: Besoeker   2023-06-20 11:55  

#6  The proper procedure would have been to threaten him with felony charges and hard time unless he agreed to testify against the Big Guy. Instead, he gets a slap on the wrist in the hope that it will satisfy everybody and that now everybody will just shut up about Hunter. Two tier justice system is still firmly in place.

#5  But I was promised that there would be no scandals. Maybe we were promised no sandals and it autocorrected.
Posted by: Super Hose   2023-06-20 11:46  

#4  REMEMBER.... The sentence has been established for those crimes at Federal Court system level now.

So, IF you are or someone you know is charged similar crimes.
Demand the same the NO-JAIL Time sentencing deal provided Hunter.

Because, under US Constitutional clause of the right of EQUAL JUSTICE, anything else handed out, would be Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

#3  Hunter = member of "the protected class."

#2  /\ We've been on our own for some time but this puts the shine to that.

Some things simply cannot be polished Rex.
Posted by: Besoeker   2023-06-20 10:27  

#1  Exactly as predicted by pretty much everyone. The US can now only ever be destroyed. Whether by its own citizenry or a foreign adversary, our leaders are too busy making bank to defend us rubes. We've been on our own for some time but this puts the shine to that.
