Mitch McConnell strokes out during press conference today.

That was......

[Berzerker]

"As long as he adhered to the terms of his agreement, the gun case was to be wiped from his record. Otherwise, the felony charge carries 10 years in prison."

The judge who delayed Hunter's plea deal will apparently support additional restrictions - drug testing! Now thats gotta hurt

Something very wrong when some people (brown?) get 10 years while others get no time at all for the same or similar 'crime'...

Careful, you may get issued a membership card by the wokerati.

[Berzerker]

they're late to the party, I've been railing for decades against the gun and drug laws and the multi-tiered justus system they create

[Berzerker]

hmm...DoJ prosecutors tell judge the plea deal does not grant Hunter immunity from other prosecutions
Hunter's atty says it does
judge reads deal and says it does and asks why DoJ claims it doesn't

DoJ tried to get a plea deal that would give Hunter broad immunity for other crimes
judge caught it and thats why the plea deal fell apart... for now

[Jon Miller]

Yeah, that doesn't sound good. Doesn't seem to have anything to do wit Joe.

It is known that the family of politicians and law enforcement get preferential treatment often. Which isn't good.

Meanwhile, Trump's document indictment now stands at 40 counts after last night's upgrade.

[Berzerker]

I've wondered why people in Hunter's position - aside from the political connections - haven't challenged the gun/drug laws. It seems so obviously hypocritical for people who like booze and tobacco to tell pot and coke users they sacrifice their 2nd Amendment right. And many of these people claim to support the 2nd Amendment. I suspect the reason the law has stood this long is scared judges or the prosecution reduces or drops the charge if anyone says they will fight it in the courts. People get 10 years for less than what Hunter did. This is just a way for the state to nail people they dont like and look the other way when friends are caught.

I might be misinterpreting the snafu, but it has everything to do with Joe... The taxes were influence peddling and the other charges could involve Fara violations since Hunter was acting as a conduit to Joe for other countries/businesses. I think Mueller got some of Trump's people on that. Joe's been very involved with his son's business ventures and he did fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma. So Biden and his throngs of yes men smeared the prosecutor and used our taxes to bribe the Ukrainian govt to fire him. Democrats lied about that too, and then they impeached Trump for trying to investigate it. Trump is the lesser evil.

[Jon Miller]

So you are OK with Biden saying he would leave Five Eyes, or NATO, if the UK doesn't announce that it is investigating Trump for dealings with the Scotland Golf Resort? You think that is ethical and wouldn't motivate an impeachment?

Keep in mind, the "prosecutor" was probably corrupt and the Ukrainian government and the EU, and the US wanted him gone. He kept dragging his feet on corruption cases that involved pro-Russian figures. Given the clusterfsck that was Ukrainian corruption at the time, he was just one-sided, like how you go after the Democrats while ignoring the Republicans. Also, big corporations always like to hire children of prominent major government figures. But given how Russia turned out after they had Democracy shoved down their throats without any experience, the West despite all it's flaws and historical baggage is probably better.

Mitch said he got dizzy and was focused on stability and not his speech (or something to that effect). He plans on staying in Congress. I think Kentucky has a Dem as Gov if Mitch cant stay and if Diane needs replacing Newsom might have to appoint a black woman to replace her while the war machine backs Schiff.

[-Jrabbit]

Mitch and Diane are both objectively cognitively compromised.

[Broken_Erika]

Feinstein isn't running for re-election, Mitch shouldn't either. Congress should really have an age limit.

[Berzerker]

She's running to complete her term so Newsom doesn't have to keep a promise to the black community

But the Ukrainian govt didn't want to fire him, Biden threatened to withhold a billion. Show us the people who wanted him fired, when, and their proximity to Biden or Burisma. There are no Republicans here making threads to go after. The fascistic assault on our 1st Amendment was led by Democrats, they are not the lesser evil. Shokin was fired for investigating Burisma - he testified under oath that was the reason the leader gave him when he was fired. The CEO of Burisma is on record saying it cost him 10m, Joe spent our billion and got 10m. Do a little homework on these people who wanted Shokin fired. I know of several now who were getting money from Burisma... the Biden clan and The Atlantic Council. Wanna bet these other people smearing Shokin have financial ties to the USA and western oligarchs. Yeah, watching the 2 parties and their media has taught me about narratives and when I see the usual suspects all repeating the same line my spidey senses wake up.
