I want the book to be thrown at Hunter.
Ten times the penalty that Trump got the last time he was evading taxes and ten times the gun charges the last NRA fluffer got when they had a gun on probation (or whatever that charge is)
We can't send the message that the children of our president can just enrich themselves at the teat of the government.
...
Of course he shouldn't pardon him. How has it come this far?
--
Edit: Did I really have to be more obvious that this is a criticism of Trump and his family's behavior? Seriously? I even used the word fluffer.
We missed that boat by about 6 years.
I can't believe nobody has even brought up all the taxpayer dollars that went into the Presidents hotels while he was in office.
*checks notes*
Oh, wait. Biden is President now?
Don't worry, because the hotels were his, he charged a special rate.
I mean. Did everyone really not get that?
Did I have to be more obvious that this was commentary on the trump family?
I'm down voted a lot already, but seriously?
Sarcasm died under Trump. Sorry.
Sigh. My wife and I are currently talking about a "this is why we can't have nice things" movie parody of the godfather or something.
I can't find it because the Internet now sucks and t swift has over taken that query.
I didn't know that was a thing!
Are you talking about "Mafia!", the 1998 Lloyd Bridges and Jay Mohr mob movie spoof?
yes! thanks!
The dog breaking is the greatest.
Sadly true. The level of ass-kissing and cognitive dissonance is really at an all-time high.

So. You’re for prosecuting Jared Kushner, too?
Who received 2 billion dollars from the Saudis for no stated reason. While serving as a senior advisor to his daddy-in-law?
Hunters employment might be a bit shady…. But it wasn’t illegal. kushner’s bribe was.
Of course. That was commentary on the trump crime family.
Unfortunately we were shown time and time again that GOP doesn't care about looking like hypocrites. Their base is completly disconnected with the real world.
