Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

The reason the gun charges are rarely prosecuted is most people aren't dumb enough to admit it in an autobiography and do book tours talking about and verify you did in fact break federal gun laws...
Most people wouldnt do that because they're afraid of prison.
Hunter Biden wasnt, even though his dad promised not to pardon him and that "no one is above the law"
And now he's pardoned. Either Biden was always going to do this and lied to us, or the US president just got punked by his adult son in a way I thought only Netenyahu could punk him.
I'm honestly not sure which would be worse.
Which do you think happend?
Biden lied and was always going to do this
A geriatric man just got manipulated by his adult crackhead son
Mystery answer you havent came up with yet
Because it's hard to act like it's because of the charges being bullshit now when they're the same charges as when Biden said he was staying out of it.
The only thing that changed is Joe and Hunter both expected Joe's DOJ to let Hunter off
"Oh, so he's going to abuse pardon power? Fine, fuck it, Hunter gets a pardon."
Close but missed it.
Biden was willing until Trump won because with Trump running the DOJ, letting the DOJ have custody of Biden's son is a massive national security risk.
That was never going to happen.
