Sweet. Now scour every other gun owner’s publications and social media and if you find evidence of drug use ring them up on federal charges because apparently we’re enforcing that shit on its own now. It’s going to be interesting to have to visit all of my rural-ass relatives in a federal penitentiary.
Every one of my republican voting friends owns firearms and smokes weed. One of them has a hemp businesses that they’re just waiting to switch over to cannabis as soon as it’s legalized. Guess who’s the most diehard Trump lover of the bunch…
It’d be fucked up, but one anonymous complaint…
So you’re suggesting ruining someone’s life because you’re pissy about political theatrics? Be better.
Hypocrisy ain’t gonna stomp itself out!
I mean if that is how they feel. Might as well be consistent. /me shrugs
So you’re suggesting ruining someone’s life because
you’re pissy about political theatricsthey are a criminal?FTFY.
Some crimes aren’t crimes.
Some things should be though, like being a Trumpet.

I’m not saying to do it. I’m simply pointing out that it’s an option and not an amazing one at that.

Gro-bro culture.
Every weed grower voted against legalization when California would have been the first in the nation to legalize in 2012.

My primary concern from the perspective of someone living in a prohibition state is that it is the last cottage industry that someone can start doing when they can’t or won’t get another job. If weed doesn’t serve that function anymore, the alternatives that are left are generally much more dangerous criminal activity, such as selling coke or prostitutes. Psychedelics don’t move fast enough to pay the bills.
they should learn to code and take up cyber crime
Or, you know… get a job in IT as a programmer? There’s plenty of work out there in IT at the moment.
It was a poor attempt at humor. Don’t do cyber-crime kids.
I am not saying this isn’t valid I am just wondering if they could find new employment within the cannabis industry. I have worked with some growers before and my impression is that they were their own best customers before all of this.
My pothead roommate was livid when that failed. Went on a big rant about it. At the end, I was like “ohh, when did you vote? I didn’t see you leave all day”, and he was like “well, I didn’t vote… but this is fucking bullshit”
I think technically alcohol too would fall under this without too much effort
It would be super fun if Hunter’s expensive lawyers raise some argument about the constitutionality of gun crimes that eventually makes it to the Supreme Court - put Thomas and Alito in the position of either pissing off gun nuts or pissing off MAGA idiots (and the center of that Venn diagram is quite large).
You’re not wrong.
But it’s also not incorrect that Biden’s son is a piece of shit, and I would really like to see our president spend as much effort trying to get a living wage for the American people as he does trying to keep his offspring out of jail.
Lmao… no he isnt… It’s not shity, to like your own penis and take pics of it to send out… enjoy having sex, even with whore (take a lesson from frank Reynolds) and to be into guns, and oh yeah, coke.
That is literally your everyday republican politician… they just don’t like Hunter, cause his massive dong made them feel confusing feelings they try to repress.
heck yeah love the positivity
What makes him a piece of shit? Genuinely curious. Do you know him personally?
Not the person you asked, but from what I can tell based on what I read, he’s a typical nepo baby who trades way too much on his father’s fame. The calls to Biden were things like “hey Dad, how are you?” during a meeting to show that he could get the VP on the phone. Biden didn’t even know he was bragging about his father in a meeting when he took the call. He just thought it was his son calling to say hi.
So kind of an asshole nepo baby.
Sounds kind of douchey. Not sure that makes someone a piece of shit.
I guess it depends on your definition of ‘piece of shit.’
The NRA is going to leap to his defense, right?
Just like how they leapt to the defense of Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor.
…Bueller?
Well I for one am glad this came out.
This cleared up any doubts I had in my mind when it came for voting for this guy for president. Yessiree, I absolutely am not gonna vote for Hunter Biden in 2024.
I would vote for Hunter Biden’s penis for president
Apparently so would Marjorie Taylor Green
Ok, I just cackled. I’ve never cackled before. Thanks for that.
Once you start, you can’t stop. Next thing you know, you’re living as far from society as you can, cooking strange things in large pots, and communing with nature.
It’s a curse. An absolutely wonderful curse.
I don’t know, seems like a different kinda leader, not a beltway insider.
If he shoots someone in the street I might be persuaded.
That’s it, I’m convinced – I definitely won’t vote for him now!
Hunter Biden didn’t get many votes in the last election either. He doesn’t seem to be too popular.
But this is DEFINITELY the end of his political career!
Certainly fewer votes than the last president who lost the popular vote
He’s no longer my president!
That’s neat part, we don’t care.
Republicans: “Ha ha ha, now the tables have turned! Vengeance is ours!”
Democrats: “Cool, whatever”
Yeah you think we give a fuck about nepo babies? 😂, 🤣 Even
You can have him. Set some precedents around gun control.
The only good thing that could come from him
K. Make sure that is standard for all gun owners.
now I’m upset that his father gave him a government job and placed him in charge of peace in the middle east…
I always wanted that job. You can’t really be blamed for not being good at it also job security. Besides I could host peace events where a bunch of rich ex-pats from those places hangout in an embassy eating middle eastern food and it looks like we are doing something.
/s is still needed today. In fact the past 8ish years have clearly demonstrated that the /s is needed now more than ever!
So Republicans are cool with Hunter’s indictment over his gun license application details? I guess that means they hate the Bidens even more than they love guns.
“Bobby, if those Republicans could read they’d be very upset.”
If they actually had principles, they’d be really conflicted right now.
It’s quite interesting from a religious perspective. Most of these people pretend to be devout christians with christian principles, but they judge Joe Biden harshly for loving his son and for the fact he has forgiven him his many missteps.
If they were actually devout christians, they would realise the way Biden treats his son is quite reminiscent of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It’s been a while, but the whole point of that parable, is that just like a father forgives his wayward son, God forgives his children for our many missteps and sins, and celebrates our return to the fold as the father celebrated the return of his prodigal son.
I honestly don’t know how you can hate Joe Biden for forgiving and loving his son, then expect God to forgive you for your sins.
Personally, I’m not religious. The interesting thing is that in practice, despite their loud prostestations and virtue signaling, the conservative right seem to be becoming increasingly secular too. I don’t think many of them actually believe. They certainly don’t seem to believe in Christian values or the bible anymore. They just hang on to the symbols of religion because it is politically expedient and allows them to differentiate their in-group, then often seem to do the exact opposite of what the bible tells them to do.
I don’t think many of them actually believe.
its so much worse than that. not only do they believe, but they believe their version of christianity that allows for racism, hate and just about whatever the priest feeds them. for a non-trivial percent of the population, jesus isnt about loving your neighbor anymore.
You have a point but the Bible can be used to prove or disprove anything. Read Mark 4:12 in context. Jesus does not want people who don’t instantly accept him to ever be given a chance to repent. Going completely against what you just said.
If they knew their Bible they could use this argument. You are right however that they don’t.
So Republicans are cool with Hunter’s indictment over his gun license application details?
Dunno about Republicans in general but a lot of Gun Owners are because they’ve wanted question 11e on the 4473 removed for a LONG time and Hunter’s situation was a way to force the Federal Goverment / ATF to address the issue.
To be clear Hunter shouldn’t be in trouble for this BUT neither should anyone else and it was always bullshit they’d dismiss his charge but toss other people in prison over it.
Patrick Daniels got four years and the 5th Circuit only over turned that conviction in August of 2023 which was after the details of Hunters deal were released.
How’d you like to be the guy sitting in prison watching CNN tell you about the President’s Son getting a pass on the same thing that put you inside?
The Republicans of the House of Representatives announced an Impeachment Inquiry into Hunter Bidens penis today.
Right? This law is rarely prosecuted, probably unconstitutional, and certain people still think that he’s getting a sweetheart deal because of his name.
But the Constitution is only there for Trump supporters, right?
One another note, as a Canadian watching this soap opera, it’s getting boring already. I mean the level of backstabbing, whinging and general vindictiveness is like watching As the World Turns (21st century version).
I dunno, they still haven’t done a good, evil twin sub plot.
Doesn’t apply. He’s not being penalized by a State but rather by the Federal Government. Plenty of examples out there of people getting prison sentences for lying on question 11e of the 4473.
Hear me out… General election debate… Biden called out on it… he responds:
"My son has a problem with pills and drugs. I lost my other boy after his time in the service. This guy and his kids are under scrutiny for insert implications of their wealth and status. Who do you all relate to more? You don’t have that one cousin who…? "
I lost my other boy to cancer after years of navigating year of the complicated and expensive US healthcare system this was after he served in war zones in Iraq.
Who do you all relate to more?

Not a terrible point, but goddamn learn how to form a sentence
Are you that worked up about a missing period and a single letter capitalized? Just so you don’t have a stroke I’ll fixed JUST for you. :)
“I lost my other boy to cancer after years of navigating year of the complicated and expensive US healthcare system .This was after he served in war zones in Iraq.”
Still got it wrong lmao
On one hand if he broke the law he broke the law. Charge him.
On the other hand I’m completely convinced he only got caught because Republicans have been “investigating” unnecessarily for years.
Which is super ironic considering Republicans are the party of “small govt” yet “big brother” is why Hunter got hit with anything.
Imma say it, he’s kinda based, evades taxes and “illegally” owns guns, free my boy.
So it a federal charge, can’t the president pardon him? Trump pardoned so many asswipes right before leaving office.
