I mean, I don't give a fuck about somebody smoking crack and buying a gun, but Hunter Biden is in no way a political prisoner or a dissident. If anything he belongs in prison for his corruption along with probably every other high ranking politician and their children.
Oh, I forgot everyone is corrupt, so any charges are automatically justified. Yeah that's not something a dictator would say at all...
Crackhead with a plum job on the board of a foreign energy company? Nothing to see here!
Don't go to Wall Street then. That's not evidence of anything but being connected to wealthy people.
Do I look like a judge or something? I don't need require evidence to have an opinion about the impropriety of the crack head failson of a top US politician being given a well-paid, do-nothing position on the board of an energy company. Do you require evidence to think it's shady that the Saudis bailed out Jared Kushner's NY real estate investment?
Back to the point: Hunter is not a "dissident". I don't really care though-- I'd pardon my son too. But you know what else I'd do? Pardon a bunch of people who actually deserve it.
Oh so you're just admitting that it's a double standard against Hunter then.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You don't care about the facts. You said so yourself. You're just here to hate on Biden and his son.
Jesus Christ what a waste of time you are.
