This is meant to convey "legitimacy" on the Trump Kangaroo Trials. It's possible they even send Hunter to the pokey at least until November 6, when he will surely be pardoned. I'm sure any such arrangement will be Club Fed, but the media will spin it to resemble a remote mining colony.
Unfortunately, the conservative media seems ready to take the bait. Hopefully they think it through and mute their cheering.
I agree that Hunter Biden will be pardoned by his father after the election whether Joe wins or not. He can't risk pardoning him before the election, but I'm sure they can figure out a way to keep him out of jail until then. Although, I hear it's easy to get drugs in jail. Probably a lot of sexual perversion going on as well. So, he might enjoy it.
Hunter Biden is scheduled to go on trial in California/Sep ‘24 for 9 counts of tax evasion and filing false returns, 2016 thru 2019. These charges potentially more serious than today’s gun charges as they relate to Joe, as they may highlight receipt of ill gotten funds from abroad.
Does anybody on the planet think Trump will get a fair shake from the probation officer and judge? The only disagreement is whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. It is possible that a political calculation will produce a decent outcome for Trump since everything they do seems to help him.
Biden said he would not pardon him, but leaves open the option of commuting his sentence.... neither he will do until after Nov 7, which means that the judge may give him jail time... to begin in January 2025.
If Hunter goes to prison on either the gun charge or a future conviction in Sep/Oct for tax evasion, and Joe does not pardon him - if Trump wins, he should pardon Hunter on his 1st day in office (alongside side many imprisoned J6’ers). Show who the adults are and be done with using the judicial system for political purposes.
Pardon J6 and Hunter plus all of Trump's lawyers and associates who have been persecuted. But prosecute those who have been denying civil rights under color of law.
Agreed. There’s a reason some intel voices from Left are talking about leaving the country should Trump win. They may need to look for countries w/o extradition treaty w/ US.
Except in one case you have someone willfully violating a clearly defined law that has been prosecuted repeatedly against other offenders in a venue that is exceedingly favorable to the defendant.
None of those conditions were present in any of the attempts to prosecute Trump in either the criminal or civil cases brought against him this year. In every case, it has required a novel interpretation of a vague, seldom/never prosecuted law, filed in the venues most hostile to the defendant.
The tax/gun charges were impossible to ignore, as were the tax & FARA charges that were already allowed to lapse under the statute of limitations.
Contrast that with the contortions exercised to prosecute Trump, anyone around him as well as his legal counsel. Or the damage done to due process, attorney/client privilege and the sustained effort to damage Trump and his supporters through making the process as punitive as the federal government can with all of it's resources.
Only by ignoring all of these blatant differences does this outcome make these cases in any way comparable.
Perfect summation of the outright injustice served Trump and the pampering of felon Hunter. So many charges not filed against this drug-crazed POS. Even his court martial was squashed.
There are more serious charges that Hunter Biden should have faced, but didn’t. They came up in the evidence for the crimes he was charged with, which more than made the case against him. The laptop had him fingering another gun in a cocaine photo. How about another charge? Nope. Or filing as a foreign agent for all the influence peddling? WTF?
First you must take a stock on what you think and bias before reflecting upon everyone else. If you cant fundamentally look at the problems from both sides as in a true proper debate you might just be part of the problem you described.
You’re giving me the “both sides” bs again. It’s not like we just see things differently and who’s to say who’s right. On his very first day in office Biden issued an Executive Order for all government agencies to be committed to “Equity” aka Equal Outcomes. Read this Real Clear Politics article about the severe damage this is doing and this is only one of many areas that they’re committed to destroying. These people are flat out insane. That’s not opinion. That’s fact.
“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”
“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”
My bias is for secure borders, safe city streets, schools that educate rather than indoctrinate and for a functional society in general. I see nothing wrong with bias in favor of a sane society.
Great secure borders are good and very achievable. Schools keeping out certain subjects unless its related to I agree with actually (Not Desantis where he demands certain ideology taught and others banned) and safe streets have been something not even red states can achieve not without locking up tons of people creating a massive problem all to itself.
Democrats teach hate and pretend it’s black history. This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. And these are the same people who are working to put Trump in prison. May God curse them for being such evil pigs.
“If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October.
“I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.”
“Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.”
The dumbing down of our schools, even medical schools, for the sake of “Equity” is new. The deterioration of standards isn’t new but this war on standards certainly is. This is dumbing down on steroids. This is national suicide.

Hunter Biden should have never been brought to trial on these particular gun charges. Trump also should not have been charged by Bragg. Both cases have been manufactured to manipulate.
Ben, both cases, IMO, brought to us by the DOJ, led by Merritt Garland, a man scorned. The Hunter case only came forward after all other heavier charges (taking of foreign $) were expunged/dropped. This gun charge was ‘all that was left’. Trump case only because he’s running for POTUS and a threat. These are politically motivated cases. That help reinforce partisan divisions.
He may well get zero time. Which would make some sense. First time offender, conquered his addiction, many years have gone by since the offense and he is no spring chicken at age 55. Should have pled and that would have been even more likely. Any other person in that situation might received such a sentence and thus no quibble if he does.
Key is this offense puts him in a tougher spot if convicted of the tax charges coming up soon in that trial. That may have been why he gambled on at least a hung jury here.
Further research indicates that the defense did raise it but was denied in a pretrial ruling. It was without prejudice so could probably be raised on an appeal. It would be delicious.
To everyone referring to him as Hunter Biden I believe we were informed just the other week the correct salutation is “the convicted felon Hunter Biden”.
Your instincts are spot on like usual. This was staged to help Xiden by forgoing the treasonous actions of the entire family that has spanned decades.
Heck, some outlets are describing the verdict as delivered to a victim of substance abuse and 'simple' mistakes; all of the tragedy in the family gibberish.
I absolutely agree. Joe Biden must be very relieved. And if he wants to pardon his son, so be it. The beauty of the pardon power is that it offers clarity and political accountability. Bill Clinton will always be remembered as the president who pardoned Marc Rich, a major contributor, in the final hours of his presidency. There is some justice in that. It is like a stamp of corruption, but out in the open, where it should be.
I actually think the smartest political move for Judge Merchan would be to sentence Trump for a miniscule period, maybe one day. The Bragg case was an appalling miscarriage of justice, and everyone knows it, Bragg and Merchan too, I imagine, when they are lying in bed at night looking at the ceiling. In a system of law we do not find people guilty of unspecified crimes. We're not (yet) a Kafka novel. In any case one way to camouflage the absurdity of the New York trial would be to exact only a symbolic punishment. If there is any justice then the Trump case will be overturned on appeal, but by pretending that the case was just about "calling balls and strikes" our politicized judicial system can carry on the charade.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the Deep State informs Brandon his son is expendable - that Brandon will NOT pardon him even if - or especially if - he is given prison time. Hunter is quite valuable as a prisoner, again, as a "justification" for the Kangaroo Trials of Trump.
Might a delusional Brandon go off script and start calling out names, a la John Gill in Star Trek ("Patterns of Force")? After all, whatever shell of a human is left in his decrepit body might still genuinely love his son, and he would have to realize he has nothing to lose. That said, I have to think before he got to that point his handlers would administer a few too many meds for his frail body to handle.

If they ever happen to send this POS to the "pokey," I hope it's at least long enough for him to be "pokied!"

Treason
And those would be taking bribes from Russia, China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan.
And possibly places we don’t know about.
Bingo!
Community service and a fine for Hunter. Years in a Federal pen the or you or me.
Dude the tax evasion stuff would have gotten us in jail years ago.
I look forward to reading your piece about J-6. Everything they tell us about that day is such a sham and it makes me hella mad.
Half the country believes it though so what does that say about our society?
Yes I am disappointed in the lack of critical thinking within our population.
First you must take a stock on what you think and bias before reflecting upon everyone else. If you cant fundamentally look at the problems from both sides as in a true proper debate you might just be part of the problem you described.
I do look at both sides and see that one side is flat out insane. Am I biased against crazy people? Yes, I am. I admit it. For better or worse, I am.
To be fair, crazy people can't help it. TWANLOCs, on the other hand.
Also to be fair the other side views you as insane so equal hate and anger I guess is expected in this divided country.

Hunter Biden should have never been brought to trial on these particular gun charges. Trump also should not have been charged by Bragg. Both cases have been manufactured to manipulate.
Yes indeed. And a leadup to the big manipulation coming on Nov 5.
or law breaking is law breaking and they are both guilty and should perform some community service.
Ben, both cases, IMO, brought to us by the DOJ, led by Merritt Garland, a man scorned. The Hunter case only came forward after all other heavier charges (taking of foreign $) were expunged/dropped. This gun charge was ‘all that was left’. Trump case only because he’s running for POTUS and a threat. These are politically motivated cases. That help reinforce partisan divisions.
We'll see what kind of punishment the judge gives Hunter and whether or not Biden pardons him. And the facts of the case were too undeniable.

Pardons will come before Thanksgiving 🦃
Hunter will pardon the White House turkey to rub it in.
I thought that maybe the jury would decide that laws requiring background checks
And form 4473 for the purchase of a firearm are unconstitutional, and therefore not guilty.
Vain hope I suppose.
That would have taken jury nullification given the clear words of the statute. The 2A defense wasn't made by the defense.
True. The defense should have and the jury should have.
Further research indicates that the defense did raise it but was denied in a pretrial ruling. It was without prejudice so could probably be raised on an appeal. It would be delicious.
