I think it would bring shame on this great nation to have a convicted felon running for President
Whoa whoa whoa, I thought this was supposed to be satire

Bruh. Satire is dead.
This is a kangaroo court I tells ya! It's all rigged! Oh wait, he's on their side. This is justice!
Very noble to drop out after 1 felony, imagine have over 30.
Well, to be fair he has 3 felonies. Yes, I'm fun at parties.
I would've had a beer with him 😔
You still can!
Hell you can probably smoke crack with him.
He's buying.
I don't care if your dad is the president and that you're good for it I'm not giving out freebies
There are people that would take this headline seriously.
Clearly we need to spam pictures like this on social media. It's a totally normal thing to do when your preferred political candidate is convicted of a crime.
I was going to blast Fox News, but hell, pretty close coverage.
Fair enough I guess!
No, I didn't read the articles, just pointing out the "severity" of the headlines were similar. And no, one thing isn't exactly like the other, I get that. Still, both were more than little newsworthy and you gotta admit, the fat pic of Trump with "GUILTY" plastered on there was hardly prejudicial.
(Now if you had looked at foxnews.com on 01/06/21, yeah, radio silence until much later in the day. I checked, that day.)
Oh shit, he was already convicted? Did his lawyers forget to jam up the court with bullshit paperwork and delays so that the trail takes months to complete?
I had no idea any trial was going on because I didn't get daily news about Hunter urging a cult of brainlets to target court staff, court family members, and the jury with threats and harassment.
Are we supposed to sob about perverting the justice system over politics and screech about starting a civil war now? I didn't realize the verdict would be so soon, I've got other stuff to do this week.
Yeah the conscious seems to be Fox News and conservatives aren't going to go hard on Hunter for this one after he's been convicted as it could back fire and look like they're just piling on someone's kid. That and it's a 2A charge they definitely don't even want on that books, so I guess we found the hypocritical threshold. Finally.
I think they were really hoping he'd get off so they can tout their "2 tier" rhetoric (irony) but since he's just as guilty as Trump they can't use that. Even conservative Congresspersons like Gaetz tweeted that it wasn't a fair conviction or that he shouldn't have been tried for that crime.
If he gets off on the tax charges they're gonna nuke him into oblivion though.
Ironically I think SCOTUS is planning on ruling on 2A laws soon which conservative ruling could give him an out on appeal.
WTF? I love gun regulations now!

For a moment I was like, "Wait, what? When did he announce he was running in the first place" Then I saw the source, doh!
EDIT: It wasn't actually from The Onion, so this might not apply.
Newsthump is basically a British onion
Spectacular
Bravo! 🙌
It's the right thing to do.
