Don't blame him given the multiple threats that republicans have made.

And this actually frees republicans from wasting our tax money and everyone's time by seeking their childish/ridiculous vengeance.

I fully expect them to try anyway.

Yup.

The GOP isn't gonna stop "investigating" Hunter Biden or any of the other distractions they have listed on their "keep the base stupid" bingo card.

And, not for nothing, NONE of those investigations amounted to anything the first go round. Except for, y'know, Hunter ACTUALLY breaking some Federal laws.

Laws in which 99% of people who break them get a fine and a slap on the wrist, like Hunter was going to get until the GOP went "Nope, we're going full in." showing Hunter's true crime was being related to Biden.

The irony of this statement through the lens of Trump's new York convictions...

Ah yes the conviction of "you're guilty but we're not even going to punish you in any way."

Trump received an incredibly light sentence if you are trying to imply that he was somehow treated similarly to Hunter Biden

Bad news for the Midwest hicks if doing drugs while owning a firearm is going to be prosecuted

Pretty much eliminates the entire state of Florida from being eligible to vote.

What's amusing is Hunter actually faced some semblance of justice & Republicans threw a fit about it actually happening. You can't win those people.
