I’m never voting for Hunter Biden again.
My bets are still on “the big guy”.
This is a totally honest legitimate question, that I keep searching for in all of this for years now, why is this news? I mean I know why. But I’m like searching for the “oh, okay, that must be what matters to people.” And I can’t find it. I’m serious I’d love to hear what actually matters here to the American public at large.

What matters to you Matthew? Safeguarding our D E M O C R A C Y ?
Hunter Biden’s crime is apparently not being as successful or blatant profiting on his time in office as Jared Kushner. I mean, Kushner got $2 billion and all it took was convincing his father in law to look the other way on the Saudi’s murder one “nobody”, as some would describe him.
Prosecute Hunter Biden for everything he’s proven to have done. Right now Republicans haven’t made the case.
Lauren, protecting American democracy from the autocratic tendencies present in today’s Republican Party is always the most important thing.
Sure thing Joe. Then go after #45 with all the vigor you possibly can. Like they already are. Like they tried to with Russia-gate–a situation where I believed they genuinely might find true dirt on trump (he’s not a savory guy) but still couldn’t, after making him the most investigated president in the nation’s history.
Even I agree that going after Crackhead for gun charges is a sham. Nobody cares about his weaponry any more than they care about his flesh rifle. This is a distraction for the far greater corruption ring for which he was instrumental and which obviously involved his daddy, and for which the legacy media ran cover in 2019.
What on G-d’s Green Earth will you do when the ESG money runs out and your beloved media outlets have nothing to turn to, Joe? The money may be abundant but it IS finite.
“We can remain uninterested longer than they [the corporate establishment and their financiers] can remain solvent.”
Most of all, it mostly reflects the two-tiered justice system that protects the elite or even the little guy, if he/she/xie has the right politics. Once again, no different than Mississippi in 1961. And the same political party orchestrating it today as well. Who’d-a thunk.
Why on earth do you continue cosplaying as a centrist when you clearly agree with one party 99.99% percent of the time? You’re more partisan than the Alex Jones of the left herself, Rachel Maddow.
trump/Biden versus Bulsonaro/Lula. How quickly we turn to a Banana Republic.
Tangled up in the conspiracy theories again, Lauren …
The populism you espouse is just hacks and losers who are somehow worse than the current losers, who’s already said or shown all they’re going to do is take more off the top than the current elites. You’ve yet to sell me on the improvement, or the players, or the solutions.
They don’t have any fixes to sell, but they know you’ll gladly let them take whatever they want as long in exchange for giving you the joy of watching someone else get punched down on. For you, it appears, as long as you see some transgendered person get hurt, you’ll give up all kinds of things. Not my kind of thing, but hey, you do you I guess.
Lauren B., as the old saying goes “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”
Glad to see the justice system hold the President’s family accountable. Time to investigate the Trump kids!

Small change. Much to the delight of Republicans, Hunter Biden has been criminally charged for a status offense, purchasing a handgun while using narcotics. Much to the dismay of Republicans, this law has already been found unconstitutional by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, the Republicans favorite appellate circuit, following recent changes in 2nd Amendment law provided by their beloved Supreme Court. Not even the six lap poodles on the Supreme Court are likely to reverse their recent opinions on 2nd Amendment just to get Biden’s son, and by extension his father. So, this goes nowhere, but it gave the Special Prosecutor, a Republican, cover with Congress. Well played, Mr. Weiss. The charges will ulltimately be dismissed, more taxpayer funds will have been wasted, and nothing accomplished. Two months ago, BIden was willing to plead guilty on this one; now it will be resovled in his favor. Which leaves us with the tax counts, which again Biden was willing to enter a plea so as to resolve and put this all away. Small potatoes, a fine. None of this sticks.
Unlike the fraud case in New York, which if it goes forward will directly involve Donald, Donald Jr., and Eric. Ivanka was already dismissed. IF that goes to trial, and if the state prevails, the Trump boys are felons.
Presidential children benefitting from Dad’s position? Influence peddling? See comment on Jared Kushner, above. And recall Ivanka went to China with Daddy as part of the official US delegation, but managed to break off from the boring diplomatic stuff to meet with goverment officials to discuss the terms of her company’s business in China. Magically, special deals were reached, but ultimately to little benefit as Ivanka’s company bit the dust.
Meanwhile, Eric and Don Jr. continued to use Dad’s name and position to negotiate deals around the world…
Hunter Biden is very small potatoes. As Texans might say, All hat, no cattle…
Go ahead, Republicans in the House, investigate away.
If HB broke the law he should pay as any other citizen would but how ironic it is that the right is going gaga over a gun purchase related offense. I could have sworn they made selling guns to drug addicts legal already. I guess now that effort will have to be put on hold until this HB thing plays out.
