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.

I mean if that is how they feel. Might as well be consistent. /me shrugs

This is an extremely Republican train of thought, are you sure you're on the right side of the table here?

What does political affiliation have to do with anything here?

In a global utilitarianism point of view, the best course of action is not to pursue that.

I’m a kantian point of view, there are no exceptions to rules. If you find an exception, it’s a bad rule and needs to be rewritten.

I’m taking a kantian ethics point of view. Why does this appear to be Republican to you?

So you’re suggesting ruining someone’s life because you’re pissy about political theatrics they are a criminal?

FTFY.

Some crimes aren't crimes.

Some things should be though, like being a Trumpet.

No it's still a crime regardless but civil disobedience is certainly a thing.

The party of personal responsibility ... law and order ... fuck you, I got mine.

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 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).

That's almost certainly what his lawyers are going to do. But I think that it will be the appeals court that pisses off the MAGA idiots, and that the SCOTUS will not take the case.

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.

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.
