A couple months ago the findings against Hunter Biden were nothing, not even worth taking to court, only under GOP pressure did the Trump appointed prosecutor take it to court. Now it seems like a big deal and 17 years (max). What happened? Why the change? Was new evidence found?

    I love that this puts the Republicans in a position where they’re rabidly gung-ho about enforcing restrictions on gun ownership.

      I highly recommend enthusiastically agreeing with anyone who says Hunter should be in jail, and congratulate them on their progressive stance on gun control.

        I mean, if he broke laws then he broke laws.

        It always amazes me how openly amazed Republicans are about their opponents actually wanting the laws to be enforced against “their own side.” Laws are, generally speaking, a description of how we want people to behave. Republicans (again, generally speaking) instead see them more like weapons to be used against people they don’t like.

        There are some laws that I think are just plain bad and should be resisted, but most of what I’ve heard about the Hunter Biden allegations suggest that they’re just routine with no grand principle at stake.
