I had a brother who was an accessory to a crime at 17 and went to prison for three years at 18, and that experience makes me viscerally angry that Hunter Biden is going to skate just because he’s a member of the lucky sperm club. This is

I've never understood the mindset of "I suffered so you should too". The most convoluted example in recent member was "I worked hard for my degree so we shouldn't forget student loans."

I don't like this way of thinking because it's about eye-for-an-eye justice and it's not interested in facts. Such as the fact that nobody ever serves jail time for Hunter Biden's offense.
