      And one (Trump) is far more relevant than the other.

        The only thing relevant about Hunter Biden’s conviction is that his father, who is the current President of the United States, isn’t pardoning him, even though he has every power to do so.

          Is there a limit to how late he can pardon someone? If he loses (somehow) could he pardon him on the last day as a final “eff you!”?

              Well at that point all statements could go out the window since he wouldn’t be president anymore pretty soon

            Donald pardoned a bunch of shitbirds on his way out. Definitely possible although it shouldn’t be. They should have to publish all the pardons they’re planning well before the election and can only pardon names from that list.

    We have a news outlet reporting on another news outlet’s report on a news outlet’s reaction to an actual event. 🍿

    This can go deeper!

      Since we are discussing this on social media, another news outlet could make a “story” about the discussion or should I say your popcorn enriched outrage.

      I would also be available for a game about the movie about the game about the book about that story.

    House Oversight Committee chair James Comer said the conviction was only “a step toward accountability” while MAGA congressman Matt Gaetz insisted the gun case had been “kinda dumb” from the beginning.

    Lol how is Gaetz the voice of reason

      I assume because he’s a drug user that owns a gun and is thus guilty of the same crime.

    I’m starting to suspect that these Fox News guys might be somewhat biased.
