I’m going to quibble with you about the public humoring Republicans as some sort of trade off, because I don’t think that’s it. I think the vast majority of the public just doesn’t give a shit about Hunter or Joe Biden. Is Hunter being unfairly targeted for political prosecution? Who gives a shit? Probably, but I have my own bullshit to deal with. Hunter is well-connected and wealthy. He’s not on my team. His troubles are not my troubles. If they find something and throw the book at him, OK. If they find nothing and he was put through hell because his dad was President, OK. Sucks to be that guy, I suppose.

Trump has done irreparable damage to America, and continues to attack our democracy and justice system. He is an existential threat to every American citizen. He belongs in prison, and I hope he dies behind bars while the world recovers from his reign of terror.

If that makes his buddies want to prosecute Hunter Biden as payback, that’s what happens when assholes have power. I’m already not voting for those assholes. What else does anyone expect us to do? We’re not storming the capitol building over the Bidens.
