Hunter Biden just plead guilty to two federal charges in Delaware. Let the whining of the snowflake republICONs begin.
Why would they whine? Isn't that what they wanted all along? How this effects Bidens reelection in 2024 just got complicated for the POTUS.
... just wait. Not the charges they wanted, no jail time (as expected by sane people). No effect on his father. The government prosecutor is a Trump appointee.
I was thinking along the line of Hunters problems becoming campaign fodder for the Republicans.
... even without this they will pick on Hunter, that is already baked in.

PS: the whining has begun. Both Trump and DeSantis whining.
Does that come as a surprise to anyone?
of course not, babies whine.
Trump is a professional whiner, DeSantis sounds like he's whining no matter what he says....something in the pitch of his voice?
But the whining if phrased properly, would revolve around the preferential treatment given by the DOJ in this matter. I think the DOJ made the perfect choice at exactly the right time. Maybe not so much in the ethical sense but adjudicating this case against Hunter Biden at this time is a brilliant move. By 2024 elections the vast majority of Americans won't even remember who Hunter is much less what he confessed to.
mmm, the US Attorney made these decisions quite likely based on his own assessment, not any instruction from Garland or anyone else at the top of DOJ.
The decision to leave the Trump appointee in place was a decision to wall off that effort from any notion of political interference...had there been such presumably that US Attorney would have squawked.
That was a good call...and sure, fortunately the answer after 5 years of investigating was there was no more there there. So, rational to wrap it up.
If he hadn't done so and there really wasn't any justification other than partisan interest to do so, presumably others in that office would have eventually squawked; and if it was found out later he'd acted as a partisan, unless that's really who you want to be going forward, then it's a heck of a repetitional stain...so, let's give the benefit of the doubt to the prosecutor that he made this decision based on his own recognition of reality above any partisan interest. He's going to land the plane with a "win" on tax counts plea.
But as to "remember", I'll make another bet today that there's no way the right wing media world will let their viewers "not remember" Hunter. They'll make it sound like this was all a cover-up, and "the Biden crime family" doesn't deserve election. Yes, they'll gloss over what he actually confessed to...which he confessed long ago!
The "preferential treatment" is. massive projection by the Trump cult as to what they would do if they were in charge...they can't imagine not weaponizing the government against their political foes, so of course that explains everything...Yikes it's delusional for those who actually buy it, but it's the grifters peddling this swill that make me angry.
