Great observations as always. I would add: Completely missing from the narrative about the rule of law is the political motivation and chicanery of this prosecution. Pundits are self-censoring because they don’t want to be accused of reacting like the right-wing media did about the Trump trial.

No foreign despot ever claimed to have Hunter in their pocket, and the PDBs aren't at his disposal

After a 7 year investigation into the Biden family Hunter Biden was guilty on 3 counts.

Just 1 thing: he's not running for President, he's a private citizen.

Trump a convicted Felon on 34 counts is running for President!

This Bye-Don 2024 shirt is a must have 👇 🤣

This was wholly unnecessary and was absolutely a political stunt. Just like the case against Fani, which reeks of obstruction of justice. Republicans don't respect the law and they never did.

The District Attorney for the state of Delaware was a Trump appointee who was allowed to stay by the Biden administration.

Robert Hur-Trump appointee.. He did not recommend charges against the president.

You keep making allegations that have not stood up to any scrutiny for congressional oversight.

Trumps behaviors keep leading to indictments and felony convictions.

Felonious VonSchitzenpants is literally facing the possibility of a life sentence for his corruption and attempts to overthrow the government.

You make your usual great points. The juror said it all - heartbreaking. And so very political…I say give them enough rope…

I could have done whataboutism wrt your DL and family. Kushners billions (with a B) from Arab potentates, Trump family hotels and golf courses enriched by favor seekers from around the globe, while he was in office. And that's just what we know, but we have not world enough nor time. There's more of course. But the only whataboutism you need to remember is one convicted felon is running for President and the other is not.

Dear Mr. West, Thank you for coming over here to share your views. It's rare that we get to hear from areal live MAGA on this site. A couple things. The only source for your facts above seems to be John Solomon. Solomon started out at the AP,. like I did, but went off the rails a while ago, and has been mobbed up with Trump's document case (Trump for some reason named him and Kash Patel as trustees of the materials if I understand right) and has a long history of spewing conspiracy theories about Biden. I have no problem with opinions, but you will want to check everything he reports against the gold standard news outlets - Bloomberg, Reuters, AP. If you do not see Solomon's facts there, you should be suspicious.

Beyond that, Mr. West. it would be nice to hear not why you dislike Biden but why you LIKE Trump. Here at the Freakshow, we've not been able to discern too many human and decent qualities --- although I will admit his instability has a certain entertainment value. Last night in Vegas, for example, he went on a ramble about electrocuting sharks ... But entertainment value has to be weighed against the negatives of his instincts for encouraging belligerent divisive politics, fascism (Proud Boys stand by, J6) corruption (currently he is openly offering to sell policies to interested parties), misogyny. The list of negatives could be longer but must be off to other work now.

I'll overlook your ad hominem insults for now, thanks.

Can you be more specific about how Biden and the Dems are "rabidly radical"? What is your basis for that? Because to us actual left wing radicals they seem pretty centrist.

And here's the factcheck on the allegation that Joe Biden benefited from moneys going to his son. IF the GOP had proof of President or VEEP involvement, they would have put it out there. They did not.

Bannon, surely. General Q anon Flynn likely. Trump probably doesn't know how to use a gun, but he has armed goons.
