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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
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.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So regular folks don't get prosecuted for lying when purchasing a firearm?
Oh no, the millionaire was prosecuted for breaking the law.
Oh and don’t forget the unpaid taxes they were after him for as well.
Why is everyone so mean to the millionaire presidents son, he has it rough.
You missed the point...
That I should feel bad that the millionaire son of a president was targeted for breaking the law?
No, I didn’t miss it. It’s a pointless point.
Yep so you managed to miss the point again
Like I said, it’s a pointless point.
I don’t give a fuck if he the only reason he got a bit of justice is because he was targeted due to his father. Scum getting justice is scum getting justice regardless.
Instead of clamouring to defend millionaire for being singled out, why don’t you spend your energy arguing for every other one to get the same treatment?
No that's the thing, you can't say it's a pointless point if from the beginning you never managed to grasp what the point was in the first place because your never actually took the time to reread what you said and then read what I said properly.
You're saying that his cushy life lead to him being persecuted, but regular folks that lie when buying a firearm (and who commit other crimes) also get persecuted and prosecuted so there's nothing exceptional about Hunter Biden.
Hell, you can't even hold a thought because you were the one saying he got persecuted because of who his father is so YOU were the one defending in the first place!
