The average American wouldn't have gotten lynched over what Trump did in New York, but here we are. Why is this retarded pooner even talking to Huffpost, let alone simping Joe Biden's crackhead son as he does so? The reason that this particular crime is rarely charged is because it's almost impossible to catch. There's no way they can check if you're a drug addict when you're buying a gun, so they rely on the honor system and the threat of perjury charges. Every time this crime is charged the evidence comes from the defendant telling on themselves. There were some cases of gun Youtubers getting charged because weed was visible in their videos. In Hunter's case it's because he was retarded enough to admit what he did in his book.
The right don't care about the gun thing, the gun thing is the left attempting to say "see no one is above the law now lets not look in to potential corruption in Ukraine or China where "the big guy" was involved"
I mean, Graham's a piece of shit, but he's right. The gun shit shouldn't even be a crime (shall not be infringed), but tax evasion (while usually based, should be called out severely if you're a political family.) If anything, I'd criticize Graham for not going after the blatant political corruption; that puts both the gun and taxes charges to shame, and is the real dangerous crime of Hunter's.
While you could argue he should be held accountable under existing laws for the guns, drugs, and taxes, they're really not a big deal. The corruption is though.
Honestly, the whole 'charge hunter with the very least of his degenerate, perverted, and corrupt crimes,' so the media can proclaim how fair and balanced everyone is, and how no one is above the law, is a massive fucking L for the Republicans. I'd rather Hunter not be charged at all, than on this bullshit. It just gives them more ammo to go one of two directions; political persecution (the irony, but they run the media and libs will lap it up), or use it to justify and validate the prosecution of Donald Trump.
I despise Lindsey Graham, but he's right on this one; nothing good comes from this.
FYI, if you are in possession of illegal drugs and also normally legal guns you WILL be charged with gun crimes along with the drug crimes. their reasoning is that you have these very dangerous things around and are doing illegal drug things that impair judgement.
that is their argument, not mine, and it is the legal system you live within.
you will absolutely be charged with additional gun crimes. this happens regularly and it holds up in court. it is the precedent.
Oh, I'm aware. I just think it's stupid.
Also, I'm against "enhancers" in general. Charge the crime, not the thought or other aspect.
Drunk driver? Get fucked. Passenger with an open lite beer? Don't care.
"Hate crime?" Nope, don't care. Beat a dude? Charge that shit. Said mean shit while beating dude? Irrelevant. Charge. The. Crime.
"Terrorist?" Nope, don't even care. Detonated a bomb? Yeah, that's probably mass murder, fuck you.
Various gun possession crimes? Don't care. Shoot someone for a non-justifiable reason, yeah, get fucked.
And, no, you shouldn't be able to be fined for not wearing a seatbelt, either.
Charge crimes that hurt people. That's it.
I assume that one is more of a logistical thing, because otherwise you could drive while drinking and then pass the beer to the guy sitting next to you if you get pulled over.
I thought that's what a breathalyzer is for?
Yes, but what I'm saying is that you could be temporarily below the 0.08 limit and heading above it by continuing to consume alcohol while you drive. I think that would avoid the breathalyzer, but is still a dangerous behavior that shouldn't be allowed.
Nick Rekieta (the youtube-famous lawyer guy) just got hit with that a week ago, child neglect and a shitload of coke and there's an extra charge for having guns in the house together with the coke. Kiwifarms has been going apeshit.
I disagree. It's the closest thing we have to giving the left a taste of their own medicine. You're right that the gun shit shouldn't be a crime, but as long as it is we shouldn't hesitate to use it as a bludgeon against our enemies, just like they're inventing crimes to go after Trump in New York. This shit won't end until we turn the left's tactics back on them.
multiplied a thousandfold until they're on their knees, in tears, begging for mercy.
Nah, we could do sooooo much fucking better. Like, again, going after Hunter for any of his other crimes. The gun thing is a major self-own. Tax crime, business/political crime, even the sex crime would better.
The sex stuff is really nasty, but also probably wouldn't sell well to the uninformed public. The gun thing is the worst of the bunch, though. So this is just more 'Republicans setting up their own L's' in my opinion..
Perhaps. I don't inherently disagree. But I still think this is a recipe for disaster, and not a good call. Heck, I'd rather they just go full Clown World and invent some stuff, like you mentioned they did against Trump. That would be better than this weak shit.
Again, I'm not against the whole 'taste of their own medicine' thing - although I am saddened it's coming to this - I just don't think charging Hunter Biden with weird gun shit qualifies as that. They're taking Trump off the campaign trail, and fining him hundreds of thousands of dollars. This Hunter shit, in it's present form, is nonsense. Not a taste of their own medicine in the slightest. Might even help Joe, just like how the Trump witchhunt (in some aspects) helps Trump.
But it won't give them a taste of their own medicine. All it does is show the reason that people on the right cannot win: they have not, and do not take the threat of the left controlling the public narrative seriously enough.
That's from the article. Every single article that you will find on this, that isn't written specifically from some right-wing affiliated news source is going to have something in it doing the exact same thing: coloring the trial, and putting that seed in the average person's head that, "See? The right are just abusing the courts. They are doing this because Trump was "brought to justice!".
No one will ever give the left "a taste of their own medicine", comeuppance, whatever, until the left's control of the narrative is dealt with seriously.
The media of the right only reaches those already firmly on the right. For everyone else - the shitbag left, and those in the middle - that same shitbag radical left has near total control of what they hear, what they don't hear, and how they hear of it. Whenever the right tries the "turnabout is fairplay" angle, they are going to get bit.
