    Hardly, aa stated before…I’m fine with Trump not being elected…Biden is your embarrassment…unless you’re pinning your hopes on President Harris.

    *ignoring that the younger Biden was going to accept a plea deal that would allow him to be exonerated from felony gun charges*

    I think much of the narrative along these lines is because many Americans including myself have lost faith in the justice system. As far as Hunter goes I really don't care whether he's convicted or not it has no bearing on my beliefs or my politics. He obviously went through a terrible time in his life when he was a drug infused scumbag. Where he goes from here is up to him.

    I agree with, "No one is above the law." If he is convicted or acquitted, it has no bearing on my life or my political stances.

    I was more suspicious of the DOJ when they allowed the Statue of limitations on the tax charges pass without charges or meaningful investigation.

    One more thought on the hunter Biden case. Based on the evidence that has been put before the jury to this point, unless the defense has some kind of a bomb to drop, the only way I could see an acquittal would be jury nullification.

    Biden has nothing to do with it at this point. The case is being tried in the court system, which is the Judicial branch of government. Biden is the CEO of the Executive branch of government. He has no say in what the Judicial branch does, or does not do.

    Having carried a badge for 42 years now, although passively for the past few years, I agree. I have almost no faith in our justice system, and that sucks! My entire being was wrapped in finding justice, and that has all but disappeared. America has fallen to a very low place.

    How do we turn it around? Honest question.

    I wish I knew. I think the biggest problem is politic's intrusion into the justice system, from the lowest levels of policing to the highest courts in the land.

    Especially politically tainted district attorneys who were bought and paid for by billionaires with marching directives to destroy our country's criminal justice system.

    IMHO.. not all.. no conspiracy.. we just have a nut case Commonwealths Attorney…. Had the other nut cases vote for him in the primary and bingo.. no billionaires, no conspiracy.. its just how younger people think now..

    It’s so bad that we almost had a republican win last election.. Commonwealths Attorney has been a democrat as long as I’ve been voting..
