Hunter Biden has been convicted of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, the president’s son lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.

    Do the crime, do the time. You’ll never see a conservative admit to this when it applies to Cheeto Jesus

    I can clearly imagine the response from the Trumpers:

    “Biden WANTED to convict his son so he could make it SEEM like the justice system is fair, when really its all RIGGED!!!”

    The conspiracy mind is hard to crack, and while I like seeing a fair an impartial system at work I don’t think it will actually sway many people who think it’s corrupt.

    What a poser. The other guy racked up more than 11 times as many conviction. Hunter is an amateur.

      Good thing the justice system is a scam and a hoax. Can’t wait to hear how rigged this trial was tonight and for the next 3 weeks on fair and balanced FOX news. They should run together. Biden Jr/Trump 2024 - double the felons, double the fun.

    That IT! I’m no longer voting Hunter Biden for president. Not that I was going to… But NOW I definitely won’t!

        Depends on the felony for me, since there are some people who have felonies but have reformed and some people who have ridiculous felonies from the war on drugs designed to ruin the lives of minorities. Most states make posessing any quantity of herion a felony. Someone who has been clean for decades could still get my vote if they aligned with my views because past drug use they learned from is not a dealbreaker for me.

        Now violence based felonies or felonies related to running or being in office would be a hard no among some other ones.

          A felony related to climate protesting and the like wouldn’t bother me either. Not that it should be a felony in the first place, but it’s plausible with the way that protesting is being cracked down on in many jurisdictions.

    “No one in this country is above the law,” special counsel David Weiss, the prosecutor who has led the long-running federal investigation into the president’s son, told reporters after the verdict.

    Somebody remind this to Trump supporters.

    Oh look, nobody is blaming the DA or claiming that the trial and the judge were rigged. Funny that.

    Hunter Biden’s conviction is the best possible evidence that the president is not “rigging” the criminal justice system. Will that stop Trump and his apologists from claiming otherwise? Of course not

      You see, actually, it’s a false flag conviction to make you think that. It just shows how deep the deep state runs!

    So, we’re now prosecuting all gun owners who have done drugs in the past?

    Shout-out to all you 2nd Amendment bros.

      Oh no, not all gun owners who’ve done drugs. Just certain ones.

      The 2nd amendment bros aren’t going to help in this case. The NRA declined get involved in the police shooting of Philando Castile who was licensed to carry his gun and who told the police he was legally carrying it. The NRA said it was because he also was in possession of Marijuana, which makes it illegal for him to have a gun.

        Do not lump the NRA in with gun owners. FUDDs are basically the only people who donate to the nra anymore. They’re a trash ass organization that just shills for repubs. Every gun owner who isn’t suckin the nras tit, thinks that the Castile case was bullshit, same with the Taylor shooting. Those cops should be in jail for murder.

            Sure that I can’t say they wouldn’t, but they’re not the NRA type anymore. A large portion are not the racist assholes the NRA stands for now.

            Do remember there are a lot more gun owners now that are on the left. There are also a lot more minorities that are gun owners as well.
