A federal jury found Hunter Biden guilty on all three federal felony gun charges he faced. Follow here for the latest live news updates, analysis and more.
Rare good thing from the US. Gotta be honest I do not understand the ironic adoration of Hunter Biden by the online US left at all. He's a terrible person that deserves to go to jail. From dodgy prostitution scandals, taking advantage of women, to corruption in Ukraine (which is very suspicious in hindsight given the Ukraine war and all the money that is exchanging hands currently).
american leftists "like" hunter in the same way we "like" trump, they're funny while also being terrible and there's fuck-all we can do about it so better to laugh
Seriously, he's a piece of shit, and even ironically saying he's "cool" is fucking stupid. How many lives has he ruined? How many times has he endangered others lives on camera?
It doesn't really seem like he's actually ruined all that many lives. None of the pedophilia or sexual abuse accusations seem to be true afaict (Republicans made up a lot of stuff about what was on that laptop). The prostitution scandal seems to just him paying prostitutes with stolen money, not about harming people. His previous partners also seem to mostly describe parting "amicably". In terms of corruption, that money probably would be gone anyway. It's kind of hard to quantify the harm he did in Ukraine. His own life really seems to be the only one "ruined".
He had sex with some of his employees, which is bad, but I'm not sure it's "life ruining". The power dynamic means they can't really consent, but also nobody has brought any charges against him related to that. The prostitutes across state lines thing is illegal (and technically trafficking), but also they were already prostitutes and they went across state lines voluntarily (and no charges were filed).
Endangering other people, that might hold more weight. There's that other comment about him speeding while smoking crack, and there might well be more stuff, but still.
The ironic adoration comes from the fact that liberals cover their ears and eyes completely to Hunter. He is completely off limits to speak of. They want you to believe that a high ranking politician’s kid who has no experience with anything suddenly has qualifications for managing an oil company in a foreign country and that his prostitutes and crack smoking are private affairs while prosecuting anyone who doesn’t have a rich daddy for the same crimes
It also comes from conservatives not giving a shit about any of that and just scream “HUNTER HAD SEX AND SCAMMED A BUNCH OF BUSINESSMEN”
Also I've always felt like conservatives are almost holding water for Hunter. They focus entirely on his laptop and suggestions that Hunter was part of a Satanic pedophile murder orgy. The reality is much more boring. Hunter's just some rich idiot from an influencial family. His dad is famous and powerful. So that creates the type of person who Hunter is, someone who will indulge in excesses and never face real consequences until this exact moment.
He smokes crack and frequents prostitutes. He got a bunch of jobs he wasn't qualified for. Nepotism can't be the answer, instead it's a weird shock thing for conservatives about pictures of his dick or vague suggestions about murdering kids or whatever.
I'll be honest I haven't really kept up with the Hunter drama much. I knew about all the foreign companies that kept giving him BS "consultant jobs", and about the lying on a gun form thing, and doing tons of meth and hanging out with sex workers, but beyond that I really don't have any solid deets about his antics. I mean anyone that rich is going to be a piece of shit but I haven't heard anything beyond typical party-boy failson shit.
Academically, he was incredibly dumb. He's not nearly as rich as any of his contemporaries that have served for decades, he needed a loan from Obama to pay for his son's medical bills; the obvious implication being, he doesn't accept 'lobbying' the way his colleagues do. He's constantly talking about unity and was always reaching across the isle...
I think he may actually believe in all the garbage he preaches, while being clinically unaware of how stupid he is for it.
Joe Biden doesn't have the conviction and integrity of Joe Stalin.
When Vasily Stalin got captured by Nazis, Joe was like "Yeah if you want to do a prisoner exchange, I'll trade him for a regular German soldier, you're not getting an officer for my idiot son"
Remember when Philando Castillo got murdered? NRA just talked about how he shouldn't have been smoking weed. Even the reddit gun weirdos were upset about that one.
There was a recent case of a “second amendment self defense insurance” company refusing to pay for a client’s legal fees after he shot somebody in self defense lol
Sure is nice to be pro gun and not a fascists so I can say without hypocrisy this is bullshit but also fuck hunter.
The vast majority of gun owners I know told the exact same lie on the exact same form. The difference is the vast majority of those people are currently cheering about justice being served.
It really is hilarious to see the party of personal liberties that is against literally any form of reasonable gun co trol cheer for somebody being forced to self incriminate to get their 2nd ammendment rights taken away, while being part of a death cult for the guy who said "take away the guns first, worry about due process later".
It can not be over emphasized how much these people believe in literally nothing and could not be bigger hypocrites if they were trying.
Also I know pointing out the hypocrisy is pointless.
That's why I said I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn't matter but on the same side of the coin them believing it's the dems who are being hypocritical also doesn't really matter. They're wrong (in this one specific instance, not saying libs aren't hypocrites) and objective reality is still a thing.
The whole "yea well chuds think it's hypocritical" is why pointing it out doesn't matter in the firstbplace but we shouldn't cede the fact they are wrong, full of shit, and they're the ones being hypocrites.
We should all understand shameless hypocrisy is the cornerstone of their entire worldview but we shouldn't act like that makes their beliefs any less horrendous.
trump and hunter biden buddy comedy where they end up in the same cell and have to square away their differences to face their biggest problem: the fact that nobody put money on their books
There is a certain irony to the fact that probablly 80% of the people cheering for this committed literally the exact same crime by lying on the exact same form but still believe they are totally justified while Hunter got what he deserved.
Yeah there was evidence of him doing crimes and shit on it and it was used in trial. But I think the evidence comes down to him texting drug dealers and taking pictures of crack around the time he said no on the form.
I mean while pedo crimes were far fetched, the laptop definitely had evidence of potential sex crimes, which led to Hunter Biden's Pornhub account being discovered(where he allegedly posted videos of himself and others, allegedly including another female family member) , and subsequently wiped off of the internet. It's where all the weird jokes about his penis come from.
I found it very weird how all evidence was wiped off of the internet (only extreme right wing chud sites have the evidence still posted), and how you get treated like a crank if you bring it up now. Definitely lots of suspicious stuff went down there.
Trump gets elected. Pardons Hunter. Says he's not that bad of a guy and just made a few slip ups.
MAGA crowd implodes. Trump doesn't need them anymore anyways. Republicans want to move on and can't capitalize on the "brand" after 2026. Hugs and chocolates by Jill Biden and Michelle Obama follow at high profile events.
