At one point, republicans need to show proof or shut the fuck up. They've been talking about the stupid laptop for years to eventually admit they have dogshit. They claim to have dirt on Hunter Biden but never back it up.
It is clearly a diversion tactic as usual.
If they do have dirt on him, throw the book at Hunter/Joe Biden. Until then, shut the fuck up.
He just got offered basically a free pass for a felony of possessing a gun as a prior drug user. Something the average citizen would be sitting in prison for a minimum 10 year sentence for.
That's sounds like a REAL big order or free French fries.
PS I'm not a republican, I'm just calling out the obvious corruption of that dirt bag getting a pass.
Please provide a fucking source that isn't Facebook or fox
Every gun owner that legally uses weed in a weed-legal state commits the same felony by lying on that same form, when purchasing a firearm. It's pretty common to not prosecute this felony.
Show us how Joe Biden was involved.
Whataboutism
It's not whataboutism. Corruption is bad. It's asking for consistency.
Literally brings up some other person not involved in a debate and it is not "what about"
Whataboutism implies that you are using that actions of person A to justify person B. It is not when you point out condemnation of person B for the same actions as person A but person A is not condemned.
Yes I know. Literally no one ever has attacked Biden over his son. Not once in history.
Whataboutism.
