This is so totally fucked up that it makes me more determined than ever to vote for every democrat on the ballot. Republicans are not only full of hypocritical shit but they’re dangerous as Hell. Flush them all!

That racist bastard along with his enabling mother should be locked up. His trial along with that dipshit judge was a complete sham. Only today's GOP led by that vile tangerine turd would make this murderer their hero.

exactly ! can you imagine the reaction of republicans if Hunter Biden shot 2 bat sh*t crazy MAGAS and got away with it and the democrats praised him?

They'd be burning crosses on people's front lawns!

Wait, they do that anyhow...shit.

the second amendment literally contradicts itself. well regulated is the damn opposite of shall not be infringed.

Amen...but we stopped making sense when a serial rapist, serial bankrupt always broke "billionaire" with severe personality disorders who's previous job was game show host, gets elected by the pathetic, equally deranged republican voters with an assist from corrupt, overly entitled, self-righteous religious bigots & their billionaire buddies both domestic & foreign.

The apparent solution to is for people, only wanting a sane, safe life have to get their "mind right" and get with the program. I guess if we are going to be patriotic we have to buy a gun and get strapped.

Sure. Right...never mind every western movie, ever where someone loses his gun "rights" or that police will not be willing to sort out the "good guys" from the bad guys...because that isn't even a question anymore

UNLESS you are named Biden. Makes complete sense in crack-pipe GOP world.

The Republican Party is beyond anything I recognized when I was younger. I’m 68 years old, and I can’t believe it’s now the trump party. I’ll be voting for all the democrats because our democracy depends on it.

Rules for thee, not for me… how the hell does anyone’s brain, assuming they have one, accept this hypocrisy?

Expand full comment

They don’t have a brain. I watch Jordan Klemperer on YouTube try to talk to these people. It’s mind boggling at first, afterwards it’s just depressing.

Expand full comment

Yeah, also Jason Selvig does those & I wonder if after they are confronted with their stupidity, does a tiny speck remain in their consciousness?

Expand full comment

It amazes me what they believe. I've watched Jordan Klemperer too. I like the way he questions MAGAs. I don't recall any other president having rallies where adults dress up in American Flags and hold up handmade signs and actually revere the man. Now, I could be wrong about that. I just don't recall seeing anything like it before. I'm praying I never see it again.

Hunter Biden is charged with "making false statements," plural, on a federal firearms form, but what he did was check a box saying "I am not a drug addict."

He possessed the gun for 11 days, and never fired it.

do you have a link to that? I had a line in this piece about 11 days and not firing the gun, but I couldn't find a link to confirm it, so I deleted the line.

Expand full comment

Here it is, though the article doesn't mention that he never fired it. But I heard that on an NPR show about 10 minutes ago, FWIW.

So my right to be not killed by a fuckstick with a gun has just disappeared? Poof, gone, shit out of luck, up the creek, fuck you lady, you don't count (not that I did anyway 'cuz I'm a woman), just too fuckin' bad, shut up and go away bitch....

Don't I have some right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Isn't that written down somewhere in fancy calligraphy? Hmm, I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Or does it just apply to white, republican men? (Always has, I guess.)

Fuck the world, I want to get off.

I think about this same thing a lot. Don't we have the right to LIVE??? Can we have a mass law suit?

Depends. Are you a cishet white "Christian" male? No? Then no. Because fuck you, that's why.

This is not the country I grew up in. It's just not safe here any more.

I am starting to think THAT is the plan.

What? Do they think that there are people who won't shoot back? It's the last thing I want, but I will take steps to defend myself. Be careful what you wish for, Magats!!

At least their society makes sense.

I spent time in France due to work and Spain & Portugal for fun and riding horses. I would take any of the 3 but when you are there you realize how crazy it is here. A d for me that eas 15 years ago!

I mean it's not perfect there, but it's better.

It is true but think how it will be if democracy fails here? I know that others do!

As I have said before I have to stay here and fight. Like so many, i cried when Trump was elected and that GOP whore, Ron Johnson got elected in WI. I decided to put $$ in the political races because i could afford it. After 2016, I thought, sheesh...I am too old for this ( in-between kleenex) but later I was PISSED. and i figure I will go out fighting. This democracy, our home has many issues. Issues that should have been clear 20 or 30 years ago and addressed. These are foundational damage, i.e. Reagon BS we are still cleaning up. Be that as it may, I can't throw in the towel and I won't give in and leave. Too late for me, so this is my legacy. I suppose but fuck'em.

NOBODY runs me off my turf!!

Eh. I mean I liked it here as a kid, before Reaganomics shot everything to shit. After that any time I wondered why I still lived here, it was "'Cause I was born here and can't afford to leave."

The way this country treats its workers after unions got stamped on a dozen times? Doesn't appeal to me. The way it shits on educators? Nah, man. The way it makes things worse and worse for women?

This is just where I was born, man. I'm not loyal to the dirt, I'm loyal to ideals. And the ideals this country is chasing? Guns everywhere, predatory pricing on everything, dog-eat-dog step on whoever you have to to get ahead and damn the consequences?

Not my bag, yo. I'm not being chased out, I'm being made to feel unwelcome and slamming that door behind me.

Hey, it's a free country. Not ever citizen gets to be so chooses.

I was in South America in the mid 70s. I watched college students from Chile, exiled to Ecuador and waiting for the newly married husband to come back with a visa. More of a humanitarian type marriage if you understand the history of the times. Lots of graves of college students

If possible, think about moving to another country. I've lived in Mexico for two years now. NO ONE has guns except the National Guards, and they aren't even allowed to use them, go figure. Sure, if you live in a shitty area which would be a dumb thing to do, there are cartel guys with guns, but they really only shoot each other which is fine with us.

Expand full comment

FFS! No one has ever been prosecuted for lying on their gun application before; HB had the gun for a total of 11 days; and the first thing Traitor Tot signed into law was to allow crazy people to buy a gun. Are these heinous mofos upset because Hunter Biden is not really a hunter? No, it's because they have NOTHING ELSE!

Expand full comment

That is right. Look up HR1 from 2017, all the necessary legislation the first the GOP House did was protect the gun rights of crazy or mentally ill. I don't think it passed the Senate. So, now the only question is, who ARE the crazy people? Not the folk intended by this legislation effort but really, the fascists in office and 6 SCOTUS.judges to be sure!

So...will Hunter Biden be the Christ on the Cross? Will he be sacrificed for our sins so that from now on, we will have gun laws that mandate strict controls? Hold my beer.

The depth of the hypocrisy is beyond belief. Every statement and action from the GOP is jaw droppingly loaded with hypocrisy and lies. It has become the party of losers that we can depend on to say and do anything in it’s power grab. As absurd (but not funny) as Jon Lovitz Pathological Liar https://youtube.com/watch?v=pkYNBwCEeH4&si=7UbKuHwLh9h8lwLM
