your reminder that Republicans believe there should be no laws or restrictions on guns whatsoever, unless it's Hunter Biden, in which case he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for a minor infraction. don't even try to think about this or your hypocrisy meter will fucking explode

4. If drugs and Republicans hadn't made him paranoid enough to buy a gun

they'd prosecute him for unpaid parking tickets or jaywalking.

It's who they are: identify somebody, give people permission to hate him, then find a crime to try to pin on him.

Meanwhile, it looks like there is a lot of evidence for theft, fraud, and invasion of privacy around his old laptop. Since he's finally fighting back, that should be fun to watch.

Republicans would not be demanding investigations and prosecutions, on the contrary they would be saying that sexual and drug indulgences that would dwarf what is depicted in "The Wolf of Wall Street" are his entitlement as a Job Creator.

GOP patented the lying, corruption, and hypocrisy that instilled in the masses that the Government does not work because it contains Republicans...so they vote for the Republicans.
