    You literally said he didn’t do anything unlawful. Also, that’s the only thing I commented on. Everything you’re saying about false equivalencies is just you talking to yourself.

    "EXCEPT, what is the real issue with Hunter’s behavior?

    Best I’ve been able to tell Hunter is guilty of being privileged and well off. Not really anything unlawful."

      Because best I can tell that’s the case. He’s not convicted of anything and all we’re talking about is republican talking points of how “corrupt” Hunter is based on accusations. This whole conversation is centered on republican talking points and at worst it means Hunter owes the IRS no diff than any of us. Meanwhile trump is facing over 40 indictments. His kids were given jobs in the White House and access to top secret info. But Hunter owes taxes so stop the presses?

      I’m not saying he gets a pass but what this is is kinda laughable compared to the real concerns of democracy’s lifespan.

        You’re just all over the place with the legality aspect. Just make up your mind what you’re trying to say.

        I think everyone here agrees with you on the rest. I don’t really care if he gets prison time, but whatever is dealt to him should be done to any other rich asshole (Trump) trying to do the exact same thing. And if he’s held accountable for this, others like Gaetz should 100% be held accountable.

          I think the issue here is concern of scandal rather than punishment by virtue of legality.

          It sounds like we all agree on the legality. I’m more commenting on the “scandal” and it’s just not there. It’s not even a thing that should hit radar compared to everything else. Never giving him a pass, more that it feels like giving everyone else a pass by focusing on Hunter of all folks.
