    Gotta love how conservatives simultaneously:

    1. Think Hunter Biden is a horrible criminal who deserves the maximum punishment for the crimes of tax evasion and illegal gun ownership
    2. Want to defund the IRS and remove all barriers to owning a gun

      What’s the saying?

      “If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have standards at all.”

      Republicans have no policies or positions anymore. They’re fully bought and paid for by oligarchs both foreign and domestic. They don’t care about anything other than making sure their assets and the assets of their benefactors increase as ever higher rates.

      It still annoys me that Hunter Biden news is allowed to be posted in the politics community.

      He’s a private citizen. He’s not an elected official. This is not politics news.

        As long as house republicans are holding multiple investigations into him and his business dealings and personal life, then this is politics.But I’m my opinion this plea deal was sabotaged by political interference for the purpose of keeping Hunter Biden in the news as long as possible. For political purposes.

        I absolutely agree that this shouldn’t involve politics, as the younger Biden has made no effort to insert himself in political matters. But at the same time, I don’t think republicans should be able to do what they’re doing without the press shining a light on it.
