Hey Joe, how does it feel to have a son convicted of a felony? For now you can call Trump a felon, but that won’t last due to numerous and flagrant judicial errors.
Hunter Biden Convicted in Gun Case
In what was an easy case, the WSK reports Jurors Quickly Convicted Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden was found guilty Tuesday of falsely claiming to be drug-free when applying to buy a handgun six years ago, adding to his family’s personal turmoil as his father President Biden campaigns for re-election.
The younger Biden, 54 years old, was convicted of three counts by a federal jury, which deliberated for about three hours over two days in a case that exposed a dark period of betrayal and substance abuse in the Biden family.
The jury found that when Hunter bought a .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, he lied on a federal form by checking a box to say he wasn’t addicted to or using drugs at the time. During a week of trial proceedings, jurors heard about his yearslong struggle to stay sober, including evidence that he bought and used drugs in the weeks before and the days after he purchased the firearm from a gun shop in his hometown of Wilmington.
Hunter Biden sat stone-faced as the verdict was read. As he departed the courtroom, he smiled and embraced his lawyer Abbe Lowell and other members of his defense team, then hugged his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden.
The younger Biden faces up to 25 years behind bars, although any prison term is likely to amount to a fraction of that maximum sentence.
The conviction and prospect of prison time deepens the political peril for his father during the middle of November’s election cycle. The trial in Delaware aired embarrassing details about the president’s family, and Hunter Biden is expected to face another trial on tax charges in Los Angeles in September, which could feature still more damaging details about his lavish spending and lifestyle. His wider legal problems have given Republicans an opening to portray the Biden family as corrupt, though they have failed to link the president to any wrongdoing.
President Biden has said he wouldn’t pardon his son but has otherwise stood by him, issuing a statement saying he was “so proud of the man” Hunter Biden is now.
Hunter’s own voice reverberated throughout the courtroom when prosecutors played portions of the audiobook version of his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” where he recounted smoking crack “every 15 minutes” for stretches of 2018. Like most defendants, he chose not to testify and risk exposing himself to cross-examination.
Prosecutor Leo Wise in closing arguments called the account “searingly painful, but personal and honest.”
The Hunter Biden case that deserved to go to trial. Next up, genuine tax fraud not misdemeanors converted by hokey-pokey to felonies.
The trial of Trump in New York was so flawed it never should have gone to trial.
We still do not know what crime Trump committed.
Trump Found Guilty – a Travesty of Justice for America
I commented on Trump in my post Trump Found Guilty – a Travesty of Justice for America
I Am Outraged
I am outraged but not surprised. But the hypocrites will cheer hoping for a knockout.
They will say “No one is above the law”. Indeed. But no one should be beneath the law either.
Every effort has been made to put Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton above the law. And every effort has been made to put Trump beneath the law, including judicial instructions.
I am outraged and I don’t even care for Trump. Everyone should be outraged. The trial was unfair because there should not have been a trial at all. The judge’s actions were outrageous.
It’s a travesty of justice not just for Trump, but for the United States of America.
To repeat, I do not care for Trump or his name calling, tariffs, and numerous other things. I am a Libertarian and Trump leaves a lot to be desired.
But I care even less for Biden.
A Slight Difference of Opinion on Biden the Uniter
I am not the only one with that view.
This is reflected in the polls. For discussion, please see Why Young Voters and Blacks Have Abandoned Biden in Two Pictures
Biden should be impeached if not prison.
He was directly involved in illegal payments to Hunter and lied about it.
He directed the FBI to cover up for Hunter
Clear grounds for impeachment.
As for Trump – there is a case in Georgia but it will not be heard because of the stupid NY trial that never should have happened.
Stop this stupid “no one above the law BS” because it applies more to Biden than Trump.
In NY Trump was “beneath” the law and the conviction will be tossed out in court.
The Georgia trial that should have happened, won’t because of Democrat idiocy, putting Trump beneath the law.
#2
A pair of clueless comments about me being MAGA
I don’t like Trump and won’t vote for him. People refuse to look at the vast body of my work where I have knocked Trump numerous times on tariffs, sanctions, and events in Georgia where I do believe he IS guilty.
Apologies accepted for idiotic comments.
Can we discuss the intricacies of the shelter component of the CPI? These Biden-Trump topics only trigger pointless BS.
Rage bait drives engagement.
Sad but true.
Disputing the ballot design or the dimpled chads in Florida is very annoying, sore loser behavior, but it is not a felony. Disputing election results in GA is also annoying, but it is not a felony.
A corrupt DA hiring her lover at a very generous six figure salary, and then going on luxury vacations with said lover using the proceeds of that contract… that is a felony. It would still be a felony even if the NY case never happened.
Colluding with attorneys at the White House, including at least one recorded in person visit prior to filing charges in GA, is a felony – election interference. It would still be a felony even if the NY case never happened.
Using the CIA and FBI against your political opponent in an election year is supposedly a federal felony – at least people thought it was when Nixon did it. Did Nixon order the Watergate break in, or did his staffers suggest it and Nixon just winked his eye? A meaningless distinction ethically. Did Obama and Biden and Hillary order the CIA and FBI to fabricate charges against Trump, or did Obama merely wink at the corrupt bureaucrats suggestion?A meaningless distinction ethically. People want to know if Obama is a crook, and the answer is he is exactly the same as Nixon.
Biden is too stupid to be Nixon. Biden actually took bribes his entire life (long before going senile), and thought his drug addict son could insulate him from suspicion. Not a very smart crook, that Joe.
Trump is an annoying person, but the criminals are all in Washington DC. We are hiring Trump to clean house, we are not hiring him to be our friend.
Not a lawyer but…
I understand that being found guilty by a jury is not a conviction. It is written that H Biden was convicted of blah blah blah. Juries do not convict people, technically. The Judge does, and that will happen when the Judge has reviewed their “work” and assessed it is not defective. perhaps it is. He will decide.
When the Judge records a conviction, he will pass sentence, again, after assessing proposals from the prosecution and defense. Trump and Biden have both been found guilty. Neither has yet been convicted.
CNN, of course, has been trumpeting that both of them are convicted felons. That tells you the quality of their legal analysts. If CNN paid a lawyer who told them so, that is professional malpractice in my humble view.
Trump won’t be convicted before 11 July. Biden’s date is not clear. At present they have “been found guilty by a jury of their peers.” Nothing more or less. Those are the words with which Biden’s Judge will start his sentence, followed by a conviction and some custodial sentence. We presume. Ha! Ha! Sorry…cushy social service out of a local jail in Miami now that Epstein vacated the bunk.
Mish. This thought occured to me after my last post.
Is it possible the Biden want him arrested and behind bars so he does not talk?
That’s why Joe will pardon him so he won’t talk.
Strong! I gotta step up my MAGA game.
If Joe were Republican he would have been impeached ten times over already. Too many nice guys in R Congress. We need more people like Trump.
I am:
MISA – make Americans sovereign again
MIFA – make Americans free again
AF – America first
MAFA – make America First Again
MAFAZA – make America foreign aid zero again
MAGSA – make American government small again
MAGA – make America great again
MTCGA – make the constitution great again
LAAA – leave Americans alone again
MTFGAA – MAKE THE FED GO AWAY AGAIN
MTCFCA – MAKE THE CIA/FBI CLOSED AGAIN
I AM ALL OF THOSE
While Libertarian in platform/nature, there is only 1 way to get a sniff at any of those things that I am. It’s okay to admit it Mish. 🇺🇲TRUMP 2024🇺🇲
I wish there were a platform addressing your list. Ain’t gonna happen and it is SAD.
Joe Walsh: “It comes down to this: Trump has ZERO interest in uniting this country. He’s all about dividing us. Joe Biden does want to unite us.”
Interesting propaganda.
KTLA couldn’t say convicted felon often enough about Trump. I didn’t hear the words convicted felon in reference to Hunter, out of their mouths last night or on CBS Radio News this morning. MSM is scripted propaganda, not news.
The Hunter prosecutor played the fraudulent “no one is above the law” card, when Hillary was not prosecuted for her alleged crime and no bankers were prosecuted for crimes committed during the housing bubble. William Black, who prosecuted 1,000 in the savings & loan scandal, said the banking scandal was 70 times larger. Zero prosecutions. Also, Pelosi should have already called for Biden to be impeached, if she wasn’t gaslighting that no one is above the law.
The arrogance of the Biden defense team:
Hunter should’ve plead guilty & then probably would receive a lighter sentence, but since the Biden’s feel they own the state of Delaware, they assumed he’d be found not guilty.
Now with the tax fraud case coming up in Sept., this time he’ll have to plead guilty otherwise the “big guy” and the rest of the family would all be exposed as being in on the international money laundering racket.
Joe Rogan ‘I don’t know if the elections are real – they openly manipulate everything so why not the elections?’ https://t.me/VigilantFox/11781
I will take this further … they openly overturn governments and install dictators through colour revolutions … who are willing to do their bidding … so why would they not use their power to control US elections?
Nothing will happen… it’s political World Wrestling Federation stuff https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/what-if
Mike, as terrible as Biden is the US will fair even worse under a second Trump administration. Trump has shorn himself of any populist pretense of looking out for the interests of the American people. He flipflopped on Ukraine aid, bringing the US closer to military confrontation with a nuclear power. He doubled down on his inflationary tariff policy, boasting that he would double or even triple Biden’s tariff rates. Trump has completely ignored the health damage wrought by his Operation Warpspeed vaccine program that has injured, disabled and killed millions around the world. Trump has indebted himself to moneyed interests to cover legal expenses from his own self-made legal woes, selling out his working stiff MAGA followers, who at this point, are just gullible dupes.
Trump is the last man you want at the helm when a country is facing a serious financial and budgetary dilemma. I think we see a major crackup under a Trump 2.0. Once the remaining MAGA dupes wake up and realize that they have been conned all hell is going to break loose. For now, blind faith in this conman and hope that things will turn around in 2025 is keeping a lid on things.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”-William J. Casey, CIA Director.
Operation Mockingbird – The CIA has long played the international game of propaganda required by an intelligence agency, but during the Cold War, the Agency paid and intimidated journalists into helping promote its messages. Famous Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein broke the story in 1977 for Rolling Stone. Bernstein revealed the workings of Operation Mockingbird, in which many journalists – included Pulitzer Prize winners – joined the CIA’s payroll, writing fake stories to disseminate the agency’s agitprop and providing intelligence. Other journalists were threatened and blackmailed into cooperating with Mockingbird, and many were given falsified or fabricated information about their actions in order to engender their support for the CIA’s mission. The program has never been officially discontinued.
“Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nation’s laws. … Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.” — Mackenzie King, Canadian Prime Minister 1935-1948.
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” – Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” ― Woodrow Wilson
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.” – Edward Bernays – Propaganda
Maybe now Hunter can get the help he needs.
A Democratic President, a Democratic justice department indicted and prosecuted the Presidents’ son who was found guilty yet not a single democrats voice has objected, renegaded or attacked the justice system. The jury was accepted and moving forward to whatever appeals the laws allow.
If so , it’s because the trial was fair.
Look at Hillary still insisting she won, blaming it all on Russia
Here’s the deal if you have not figured it out: Hillary and Trump are both deniers
And they are all liars.
This is what sane people do. They realize that lies and tantrums will change nothing, and really could care less about what happens to Hunter Biden.
You must have missed the Hunter sweetheart deal that was attempted to be sneaked past the judge. They got caught, resulting in the current trial. Democrats have certainly been attacking the justice system, calling the Supreme Court illegitimate, as well as weaponizing lawfare against political opponents, which is corruption and abuse of the law.
Marijuana pills, and marijuana type powders have ruined a lot of lives. As seen on TV one Colombian has been murdered per kilo of this White Powder imported from Columbia into the USA. .This is in addition to the lives ruined in America due to destructive use of drugs and prolonged incarceration. Lots of ineffective solutions were propagate in the World of Finance, and Law Enforcement by Liberal Champions in the 1990’s. The following was seen on TV.

Was the “Special Counsel” appointed by the President or the Senate? Will Hunter get to ride on Trump coattails if his “Special Counsel” get’s canned? (Jack Smith)
Is this the moment that Biden steps down to focus on his family and secure his legacy as a “father” and “president”? I have to believe his advisors are pushing him to do so.
Replacing wacky Howard Dean with John Kerry didn’t accomplish anything.
Kamilla and Newsome already lost to Biden in Dem primaries; they are no better than (and probably worse) than John Kerry replacing Dean. Michelle has the same last name as the guy who used the CIA and FBI to attack his political opponents.
Biden is a corrupt corpse, but he can serve the purpose of keeping the dems automatically on the ticket next election – which was supposedly the reason for appointing Kerry instead of Dean.
There are many democrat state governors who would like a fresh start in 2028 – without the taint of DNC corruption.
There are many republicans who would like Trump to fire a million federal bureaucrats and right size the colossal mess that is Washington… I guess Tulsi Gabbard is now a republican, sort of? She might become Trump’s VP.
Biden’s advisors are selfishly desperate to avoid prison, but the Dems outside of DC have broader priorities.
Having an annoying guy like Trump be the hatchet man that right sizes the federal bureaucracy works out for everyone (maybe even Trump himself)
It’s hard for his handlers to “push” him to do anything because he doesn’t even know where he is most of the time.
Hunter is a card carrying member of the Biden Crime Syndicate. The White House should be RICO’d.
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Hunter IS an expert in Ukrainian oil and gas drilling?
He’s an expert at smoking crack
Given that neither Biden nor Trump actually run/ran the show, I’ll go for entertainment-value & stupid over evil any day. What the Biden regime has done to the US in the past three years is nothing short of evil.
If Biden is reelected, Hunter will be fully pardoned and his record expunged. Such is politics. [shrug]
Doesn’t need Biden to be re-elected to pardon his son. He can do that anytime up to next January. Hunters biggest risk is if Pedo Joe drops dead before signing his pardon and the death might be intentional (assassination) to blame the evil white male extremists and insurrectionists that the Dems portray any who support Trump. Such a death would rally the left to support a replacement candidate.
Thank God Hunter has his painting career to fall back on.
When Joe keeps saying that he’s proud of Hunter, its like Jimmy Conway and young Henry Hill, just released from jail (Goodfellas). “Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.”
“To repeat, I do not care for Trump or his name calling, tariffs, and numerous other things. I am a Libertarian and Trump leaves a lot to be desired.
But I care even less for Biden.”
Well said. My sentiments exactly.
Choose whomever you gauge to be the lesser evil.
I’ll be glad when AI’s run this world and we don’t have to deal with lesser evils any longer.
I have always thought that would be a better alternative to what we have now. At least a computer cannot be bribed or worried about getting re elected
With Trump you get pussy-grabbing AND kids in cages. It’s a no-brainer.
If Joe goes to the Big House he can bunk with Hunter. They can shower together. It won’t be the same as showering with Ashley, but …
Biden will not pardon his son and accept the result of the trials. That shows how much better Biden is compared to Trump. That shows excactly that Hunter Biden is not above the law and president Biden respects the law.
Biden should be impeached if not prison.
He was directly involved in illegal payments to Hunter and lied about it.
He directed the FBI to cover up for Hunter
Clear grounds for impeachment.
As for Trump – there is a case in Georgia but it will not be heard because of the stupid NY trial that never should have happened.
Stop this stupid “no one above the law BS” because it applied more to Biden than Trump.
In NY Trump was “beneath” the law and the conviction will be tossed out in court.
The Georgia trial that should have happened, won’t because of Democrat idiocy, putting Trump beneath the law.
Disputing the ballot design or the dimpled chads in Florida is very annoying, sore loser behavior, but it is not a felony. Disputing election results in GA is also annoying, but it is not a felony.
There is no case in GA.
“I need you to find 12,000 votes” just meant “I need you to find at least 12,000 ballots to offset the ballots they took out from under the table when they pulled the ol’ broken water main scam”.
How you corruptly choose to misinterpret the actual statement is your problem.
Its not a felony to question an election outcome, or to suggest that some ballots pulled out of nowhere when auditors weren’t looking might not be legit.
There is no case in GA or anywhere else. Go back to lying about your Russia hoax
It’s all a set up. The Prosecution presented massive amounts of evidence of Bidan family corruption that had no bearing on the facts of the case. This was done on purpose…to give the Dems an easier path to oust Joe before the convention.
In addition, it provides the talking points they think the need in regards to no one being above the law.
You are being played. If you don’t see it, I can’t help you.
What a bunch of nonsense.
One of Biden’s kids screwed up and was an addict. Happens ALL the time in the US. Please look at ANY news ANYWHERE in the US. What a Non-Story.
But Trump IS corrupt and HAS been corrupt for YEARS and Bragged about it. Now he’s BUSTED and will probably end up in jail. ALSO not a surprise for ANYONE who knew TRUMP BEFORE he ever Ran for President. He’s been crooked and incompetent his entire life and Bankrupted plenty of his companies to prove he is incompetent.
Have fun watching.
Tell us …. Just How do you know that Trump is corrupt … you are just parroting the Media … he is definitely not incompetent … He’s been using the system to his advantage for years … because that’s the way the system is set up sounds like you’re jealous …
Inside the mind of a progressive parrot:
private-sector success = corrupt
…because, of course, you know… white male privilege ‘n stuff like that…!
No need to search any further – this is as deep as they go.
Has terminal TDS. Needs a lobotomy. All of out politicians are corrupt.
He was “busted” for paying a woman he slept with to shut up.
Standard politician behavior, not really a felony.
“America can be counted on to do the right thing… after first trying everything else”
–Winston Churchill
and that was 85 years ago. Today I would say that America will try everything else, but never actually do the right thing.
The Biden family is a third tier crime syndicate. They will (eventually) get theirs in court of law, or Hunter will suffer worse in court of public opinion. He will go to jail or he will get OJ Simpson’d. Either way, the Biden brand is burned. Joe has replaced Nixon as the corrupt politician poster child. Good riddance.
I care far more about the general culture of corruption that dominates Washington DC (both parties), and I hope the USA will do the right thing… eventually… but the powers that be are trying everything else first to avoid or delay accountability.
Whether Trump fires a million corrupt bureaucrats out of revenge or because it really is the right thing to do – it doesn’t matter as long as they are gone. The excuse or explanation on TV only matters to people dumb enough to still watch TV. What matters is the political class has to be “right sized” (aka massive permanent layoffs).
I hope Churchill’s comment will be applied to DC as a whole… eventually. The endless distractions and diversions are not exactly encouraging.
Will Hunter and Ashley visit Joe on Father’s Day? I hear they are calling for showers in DC that weekend.
Just in time for Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day FJB!
Although sentencing guidelines call for it, he won’t see a day in prison.
Joe is the father of a felon. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
[LOL]. Now THAT could be the nexus of a good Pub campaign ad!
If nothing else it mutes the “Trump is a convicted felon” talking point.
Apples & Oranges (Sons vs. Former/Actual Presidents).
the sentencing is the tell here…………lets see..
Still all a ploy to keep the Biden crime family safe.
Lets see, 6 months in jail and 5 years probabation and 25 years to life for Trump
25 years IS life for the Angry Orange Mussolini Wannabe. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…or at least someone who wasn’t as corrupt as Trump. The worst loser…glad he Got Fired.
It was Biden that mandated Covid shots. You ignore Mussolini.
They’re in meetings now trying to decide how to FOG THIS UP and WHAT COLOR THE FOG SHOULD BE for CONSUMER CONSUMPTION.
Whatever happened to the FORENSIC AUDITORS in our GAO who could EASILY OPEN THE ELECTRONIC RECORDS showing the UKRAINE and CHINESE “funny money” so widely reported – – but EFFECTIVELY CENSORED by a Government that KNOWS it cannot get TOO FOCUSED ON ONE CORRUPT POLITICIAN because it could trigger an avalanche of Pelosi style dealings.
Thus, what we have is a well-oild system of corruption that is close-looped!
IF EVERYTHING IS CORRUPT, no one is by definition. The world NEEDS the HONEST and “UNCORRUPTED” to allow us to define characters with standards that are according to reality not the FOG that we get called the NEWS.
In other words, HONESTY is better defined by its opposite which is what the entire DEEP STATE has become.
SHADY.
Empire of Lies, baby. We’re living in it. Putin called it.
You are right.
Hunter Biden’s gun conviction is an insignificant distraction. It’s not worth a pardon because there’s no way he’ll get jail time.
What about the Biden family’s influence peddling in the Ukraine and China while Joe was vice-president. Burisma employee Hunter was the bag man.
Also, off topic, but did anyone see Biden attending yesterday’s Juneteenth celebration? He pulled a Mitch McConnell and froze up motionless for a good 30 seconds
This was after slurring and mumbling a speech so badly that parts of it were unintelligible. The whole world is laughing at us.
Looks like the rightwing crying about the left fixing the judiciary is a lie
There are no left and right wings.
WE HAVE ONE WING with bullshit nuances used to motivate us to take sides.
IMAGINE A FLAT SHEET OF HARD STEEL where NO EDGE can be found in order to flip it over and see what color the other side is.
THAT IS AMERICA. One huge flat sheet of steel all of the same grade, color, thickness and durability.
We cannot even drill through because the DRILL WOULD BE AN EXISTING JUSTICE SYSTEM based upon rules-based orderliness.
You know: the orderliness of our Foreign Affairs!??
Hunter Biden is now the posterchild of giving the appearance that the justice system is impartial and that powerful people are not ‘above the law’. It’s a sham – he’ll get some token sentence and be out in weeks if not given time served or some bogus rehab alternative.
They’re gonna cry whatever the outcome. Victimhood is their identity now.
Biden will be counseled to now pardon both Hunter and Trump symmetrically.
And then he will be able to claim to be magnanimous and merciful.
As in football, Trump should reject the pardon. He is better served by getting the judicial acquittal
If we had a Supreme Court worth its salt, they would accomplish this prior to the July 11th Sentencing, which is when Merchan is likely to formally enter the Conviction, which has not yet been done I think
Or as the Yale law prof said, Trump should appeal in Federal District Court and get a stay on the entry of the conviction formally.
Tom, beautiful out-of-the-box thinking here.
YOU GOT IT!
Ignorant thinking.
The president can only pardon Federal crimes. Trump was convicted of a NY state crime.
What happens *WHEN* (not if) Merchan and Bragg and the NY gang get convicted of federal election interference? It is likely the case would then be vacated by federal judges, even though it was a state case.
Trump can’t pardon himself, but the federal courts can (in effect) vacate the judgement even though it was a state case. This is pretty likely.
No one wants a third world banana legal system, at least not anyone with even half a brain. Trump is annoying, but that’s no excuse to screw up the entire legal system for everyone in vane effort to ‘get him’
Hiring a hooker but labeling it something else is the world’s second oldest profession, right after being a hooker. No one cares.
Making a mockery of the legal system is a far bigger offense, and its hard to imagine a scenario where Merchan et al do not get charged with federal election interference
Mish, they will change the rules just as they did for Trump’s “Trumped Up” trial. Don’t you see that RULES NO LONGER MATTER, just as they do with CENSORSHIP, Justice, Policing, Regulatory issues, Health Care, Insurance….all of it is slanted away from OUR interests. WE ARE SUNK as a Nation. It is coming to a head and bit huge THUMBS AND FOREFINGERS are gonna pop this HUGE BOIL KNOWN AS AMERICA.
Not to beat a dead horse, but what crime was Trump convicted of exactly? Because as you’ve detailed, along with Turley et al, the dead misdemeanor of business records in NY (past statute of limitations) was revived as a felony as a furtherance of another crime … But we truly don’t know what the other crime is or was. Federal election law? He was never charged or convicted. Etc. This is the same level of sophistry as repeating that Jan 6 was an insurrection and by repetition making it so. It wasn’t. So in the NY case, how can the misdemeanor be elevated to a felony based on a speculative or imaginary crime? Its mind boggling that this was an official court proceeding. Worse than the Soviet Union. At least there, people unanimously understood the system was rigged.
The NY case, whatever it’s merits, is a state case, not federal. Biden could pardon his kid, but not Trump (on this one).
Biden isn’t pardoning anybody.
Again, you lose.
Unlike Trump, Biden’s actually guilty of his crime. Now if they would really serve justice and convict Hunter of sleeping underaged children and funneling money from the CCP to the “big guy”.
NEVER WILL HAPPEN.
NOTHING.WILL.HAPPEN.
Trump is a dirty as the day is long. Should NEVER have run for President but he’s too corrupt to realize not everyone is as bad as he is.
Most investigated man in history and the New York BS case is the best “they” could do? Recall he was dead man walking as soon as they could “illegally” get their hands on his tax returns. Yawn.
So if Trump doesnt get his appeal decision and the Supreme Court (if they are smart) refuse to review, will Mish apologize for being wrong from start to finish? 🙂 Im fine with a chronic drug user doing some prison time, which it should result in.
I won’t apologize for well thought out opinions.
I will admit I was wrong.
But hypotheticals about “apologies” for opinions is stupid.
Really!?!?!? What a dirty comment.
Biden has already promised not to pardon his son.
Trump can only hope the corruption will save his from his crimes.
Don’t mind the triggered spinster snowflakes, they’ll never admit Trump did anything wrong when he claimed to pay a porn star $130K as a legal expense when it was hush money for having sex with her, which he ALSO denies is true.
Let’s hope you are convicted of an 8 year-old expired misdemeanor raised to a felony so you can report back.
i think that makes the transaction prostitution, not a felony. That’s a very expensive whore. You are fool to believe otherwise.
Trump categorized payment of hush money (legal btw) as legal expenses.
HRC categorized payments for manufactured Steele dossier as “legal expenses.” Fined $8k by FEC. All done while resident of New York (One of the Sate’s Two Senators).
Where were NY charges against HRC for false business records (unlawful means) in furtherance of election (Trump charge) under New York law.
But, but, it’s different – one was Trump.
Please.
Biden promised. Ha hahahahahahahahahaha
Trump won’t go to war. This is the most significant issue we have. Neocons control DC on both sides, and a Trump win means no war. Look at what Graham just stated. He admitted they want Russian wealth, and Ukraine is the ticket to getting that wealth. The Neocons don’t give a shit about the US economy.
Nobody needs to go to war if he’s president… he’ll just give them what they want if they tell him how special he is. A short bus candidate for a short bus constituency.
And waiting on deck is the tax evasion prosecution, which could make this look like a nothingburger.
Mish – you sound more and more MAGA every day. Why don’t you just come out and claim it? I don’t like either guy running btw – not a Biden dope or a Trump dupe. You?
You’re not a “Biden” guy huh? I bet you weren’t saying anything during the sham political prosecution trial of Trump. By the way, what’s Trump guilty of again?
Claiming the hush money payment was a legal expense. Did you even look at the verdict, or automatically claim he is 100% innocent and a victim of the evil Marxist left?
He bought an NDA. How should this have been classified to avoid a felony charge? I assume you believe that he personally classified all the expenses.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Mish did a pretty good job criticizing everyone on all sides for years – a sort of libertarian Jon Stewart. Good stuff. I assume he now figured out that clickbait and MAGA trolling is where the money is at, so we get this kind of stuff. Bummer.
Ha Ha> I took a vacation from Mish when he contracted TDS. I came back after he found the cure.
Mish is MAGA
What a F’ing hoot.
I don’t like Trump and won’t vote for him either.
You must not pay attention to much of what Mish writes, or you are new here.
Hunter will be pardoned.
Joe is on record saying he would not.
Kind of puts him in a bind.
You seem to believe Joe knows what he’s saying.
You seem to believe what you’re told to believe about Joe Biden
I think he’ll hold true to it. The worst hunter would see is a year or 2 in jail, which he deserves for being an armed, coked up dumbass.
All Biden has to do to win this is not be a mendacious crybaby.
Why? The media is reporting that there’s zero chance of jail time for this crime, even for a regular citizen. As well, Joe can now point out how justice is blind, courts are fair, etc. since his own son was found guilty. The optics of Hunter’s conviction make Trump’s conviction seem less biased.
“The media is reporting…”
Stop reading right there. It is not reporting.
At best they are stating their opinion of what they think (or hope?) might happen in the future, they are not reporting on an actual court decision.
There are many reasons people why don’t trust the media, and failure to distinguish facts from media opinions is only one of them
Well said on a confusing topic for many…
