Why Not to Vote Democrat

[frugal-one]

I admire people who admit they don’t know everything and take time to research and ponder the best decision or response. This is a strength IMO.

Kamala stumbles and bumbles?

She did a bit at first in her role as VP. Conservative Sky News out of Australia has some gaffes of hers - one in which she claimed that the US and NORTH KOREA had a long term mutually beneficial working relationship - on youtube. That said she's come into her own and is doing much better now. Rob

Oh, I do, too! For sure... but polished politicians are a tad better at thinking on their feet in specific situations, like off-the-cuff answers to questions, etc. Kamala has improved in that regard, but she called herself out on that.

From the White House

“…Asked about the president's intentions to pardon Hunter Biden on Nov. 7, shortly after the election results came through in favor of Donald Trump, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, "We've been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no."

and


President Biden had also previously told ABC News' David Muir that he did not intend to pardon his son, during an interview in June. he said at the time he would accept the results of the trial.

Today doddery old Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on that federal gun charge.

Now, I don’t consider that gun charge to be a big deal, but I wonder why the lying liar who lies had to lie over and over again about what he was going to do when we all knew what he was going to do. Also since this is a party that is so adamant about gun control I think it’s quaint they’re letting this slide by.

[Tradd]

Of course Grandpa Joe was going to pardon Hunter.

Possibly the year’s most predictable broken promise

It's not just the gun conviction but also appears to cover the guilty plea in Hunter's federal tax evasion case. I know Biden has gone on the record dozens of times saying he would not do this, but everyone knew he would. I think the only surprise is that he didn't wait until his last day in office to do so.

oh Jesus, I wasn’t following that. Well that I can’t dismiss, it is a LOT of tax fraud not just one action that is charged 34 times. Taxes are for thee, not for me which I guess is his mantra. He pleaded guilty to these tax fraud counts:

According to the indictment, Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme in which he chose not to pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019 and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns. As alleged in the indictment, to further this scheme, Hunter Biden:

• subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company by withdrawing millions outside of the payroll and tax withholding process;
• spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills;
• in 2018, stopped paying his outstanding and overdue taxes for tax year 2015;
• willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes;
• willfully failed to file his 2017 and 2018 tax returns, on time; and
• when he did finally file his 2018 returns, included false business deductions in order to reduce the very substantial tax liability he faced as of February 2020.

I thought the gun charge was a bit messed-up, and I think I've mentioned here previously why. I don't have much issue with the pardon for this.

I didn't follow the tax charges, Iris' summary above make me think pardoning those is utter BS.

[ToomuchStuff]

The pardoning takes care of the jail aspect, but what does it do to the financial/fine aspect?

As for the firearms charges, this is going to be used, I suspect against the democrats for some time.
