The verdict undermines their claims that the U.S. Department of Justice has been “weaponized” against Donald Trump and his supporters.
Several prominent Republicans said they were not impressed by the guilty verdict against President Joe Biden’s son on Tuesday, complaining that the government should have busted him for worse crimes.
A Delaware jury found Hunter Biden, 54, guilty on three counts related to a gun purchase in 2018 when he was addicted to crack cocaine. Hunter Biden’s crimes carry a prison sentence of up to 25 years.
“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign, said in reaction to the verdict.
I’m such an underachiever. Here is “Sleepy Joe Biden”, a doddering fool who even tries to sit where there is no chair, yet who also is the criminal mastermind behind an entire crime family and who easily controls all government and media for his own diabolical schemes. I mean, pick a lane, Republicans!
They don’t need to pick a lane, their base eats it up either way. My entire life Republicans have said immigrants are both lazy welfare leaches and simultaneously stealing all the jobs.
both lazy welfare leaches and simultaneously stealing all the jobs
They’re half right, and I wanna talk about that.
I’ve worked with a lot of Romanian kids in I.T, and these people are the most effective, skillful, professional and happy I.T people I’ve seen. I’m none of those things, some days.
They’re stealing jobs by being so fucking heroic, and I know I can’t compete.
They represent super well. That’s all I gotta say. Hire more Romanian kids for I.T, and I’ll be down at the bread line, because der takin meh jerb.
They do that with everything. Haha look at these soyboy vegan leftist who can’t even lift a GUN. Watch out for these scary leftists, they are dangerous.
Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
And once again, the goalposts move back…
“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine."
Wait wait wait… Didn’t the trump kids secure 2.something billion from the Saudi government?
Yes, which is exactly why Republicans are making those crazy claims.
When the Saudi deals resurface in the public spotlight Republicans will point to those baseless claims and say “How is what the Trump kids doing any worse than this!?!?!?” and their followers will accept it at face value and say “See both sides are doing it, it’s bad but no worse than what the other guy is doing”
Another tried and true republican tactic.
Accuse the other side of imaginary crimes, so when their real crimes come out they can go “Oh this is just evil democrat retribution! Obviously its not real/bad/etc!”
The Saudis are not China nor Russia nor Ukraine. They are ultra-cool chads who we love because of their traditional family values and based fossil fuel empire.
The Ukrainians are woke, soy, and gay, so you’re not supposed to make money from them. The Russians are Evil Communists who want to Destroy America (except when they’re chads we love because they’re Trad Orthodox Christian or based fossil fuel guys). And the Chinese are China, which is the worst of the lot.
This is all very obvious to a person who knows things. If you don’t know these things, you’re probably also woke and gay.
Poor guy is a victim of dimwitted mob stupidity. Imagine it was you suffering for your father’s career. Republicans are absolute shit humans. The whole lot of them are criminal trash.

Christo fascists comparing Trump to Jesus are missing the even stronger parallel with Hunter. 😆
Double secret probation!
Take the L, losers
Lol their worst accusations are over tens of millions of dollars?
Trump’s son, who was actually involved in the government despite being grossly unqualified, was enriched by 2 billion dollars from Saudi investors.
Jared Kushner’s technically his son*-in-law*.
Nevertheless, Jared got rich because he was smart and cool and good at deals. Hunter got rich because he was dumb and lame and a lazy piece of shit. Its totally different, because Kushner codes as “rich” and Biden codes as “poor”.
Also forced through a security clearance for Jared when literally EVERYONE said he is compromised and a motherfucking security risk. But then again so is trump and republicans worship the fat lazy useless narcissistic child rapist.
Lol their worst accusations are over tens of millions of dollars?
Tens of millions of dollars they can’t even prove exists. And they literally tried for 3 years. Hearing after hearing, tens of thousands of documents, and they came up with nothing.
But the sad thing is, they’ve successfully conditioned about 30-40% of the voting base to just believe whatever they said without question and dismiss anything that contradicts their statement as “fake news” from the “deep state”.
Yes, republicans complain when they get everything they want.
Remember when McConnell filibustered his own bill?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
It’s almost like trying to please them or compromise is a fools errand.
Unless you want to move to the right, yes.
I just realized that we need more political education. I mean, some people should at least stay publican and not have to republican. And what if you still pretend to vote for a candidate on the third try? Will you be rerepublican then? Not me, I’m like Dem! Oh! Crat! Lol
Lmao they’re fucking crybabies. Idiots.
Also, this is a high profile case for making the case to more rigidly enforce the existing gun laws. That also probably upsets them as the dog who caught the tire.
I am sure they are big mad they couldn’t milk it for longer.
Aren’t the Republicans the reason why this began?
Of course they are. What they wanted wasn’t what they got though. What they wanted was for hunter to walk. Since that didn’t happen they have no position to whine about it and of course they are whining about that.
Reminds me of my zealously religious family members, they can take any argument and twist it into supporting their beliefs.
But he’ll do it on the way out, I’m sure. Hunter has served his purpose as being a showpiece for the belligerent right, albeit not as good as they hoped, and someone’s kept the email traffic where they strategized about this as a distraction.
I hope Hunter is safe in the Fed clink, and I hope if he’s still got a substance issue that it gets resolved.
Ask Monica Lewinsky.
“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which we’re still trying to find evidence of, but we’re sure they’ve gained a Brazilian dollars from their time in politics"
It must be so exhausting to have being angry and scared as part of your identity.
