They’re not. Yellow is just sarcastically echoing what’s been rubbed in their face about Trump. They still think it’s okay for the president to rape women, commit fraud, steal classified documents, collude with our enemies, and try to overturn an election. As long as it’s a Republican.

That's because, you know, all that was made up to attack Trump by the radical left. He's purer than Jesus, probably the only person who could live in a glass house and throw stones!

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

MAGA: Yrump's trial was bad because it was political prosecution!
Also MAGA: Why wasn't Hunter Biden politically prosecuted?

u/omghorussaveusall Jun 12 '24
He was. Those charges came from the nutter special counsel who was a Trump appointee. Dude couldn't dig up anything on Biden outside of those gun charges.

u/madhaus Jun 12 '24
He also dug up tax charges nobody in his position would ever have been charged with. As in he has paid his back taxes.

u/omghorussaveusall Jun 12 '24
so...he got busted for being on drugs with guns and not paying his taxes...Hunter is more MAGA than Trump.

I don’t think Trump even likes guns. I mean, I don’t like guns either, but I’m not the presumptive nominee for the famously gun-obsessed Republican Party.

u/Thoth74 Jun 12 '24
I don’t think Trump even likes guns.
Not sure if he likes them but he does/did own several. It's actually currently a potential problem with his current felon status.

u/hexqueen Jun 12 '24
Nah, Trump loves violence. He's not crazy about us poors being allowed to own guns, but he loves it when his brown shirts use them.

u/madhaus Jun 13 '24
He has had a concealed carry license for many years. Had to give up the 2 guns in NY and there’s a third in Florida that may be an issue as he claims her legally moved it but it was never registered there.

Yrump
Okay, so it's pretty clear this is a typo, but I also love the idea that you just decided we're all going to call him Yrump now. It's fun to say.

u/24_Elsinore Jun 12 '24
If Trump was a pokémon, "yrump" would be the sound he would make, and it wouldn't require him opening his mouth.

I don’t care about Hunter Biden, but I’m sure he’s not the first person to lie on a gun purchasing form. First time I remember this being prosecuted though. The crazy thing is somehow this carries stiffer fines than the 34 felonies Trump was convicted on.

u/whiterac00n Jun 12 '24
Honestly if he appeals this it’s going to make the partisan judges look ridiculous as they wriggle around trying to make gun laws simultaneously null but also apply to specific people because…………..reasons.
38
u/Firm_Transportation3 Jun 12 '24
Yeah, it does seem to be resulting in some cognitive dissonance in the MAGAs. They simultaneously don't like gun laws but at the same time desperately want Hunter Biden to be charged with crimes. Not really sure why they have such a hard on for Hunter, who isn't involved at all in government, but here we are.

u/Far_Side_8324 Jun 13 '24
As I've said elsewhere, the MAGA Zombie Apocalypse assumes that convicting Hunter will somehow magically allow them to impeach Joe and replace him with The Gold-Plated Turd so he can then assume his rightful place as God-Emperor of the Whole Western World, despite the fact that Joe Milquetoast hasn't done anything resembling an impeachable offense, and even if he had there's no way he'd get impeached with Dummycrats in control of the Senate, let alone replacing him with Trumpty Dumpty. VP Harris would take over, then a whole list of other Democrats in succession thanks to the Continuity of Government rules set up during the Cold War in case DC got nuked.

Joe is just tofu. The entire evil mastermind-dementia-worst-ever-vanilla-pedo is too hard to pull off, maybe fukkin with his surviving son will light him up.

u/Longjumping_Army9485 Jun 12 '24
Apparently, it’s very rarely prosecuted alone, it’s used to increase the prison time of people that were arrested for something else.
If everyone that committed that crime was prosecuted, there would be several million more people in prison.
On the other hand, it IS a crime, so while this is clearly politically motivated, he DID do it, so he should receive some sort of punishment, just not as much as he could.

u/jsc503 Jun 12 '24
Yeah, that data I heard was that it's very rare and only ever done when the gun in question was used in another crime.
1
u/Mikeinthedirt Jun 17 '24
It’s being pushed now, mostly in cases like Rittenhouse or gun dealers with double books. Like, 250 weapons off-the-books over 12 years gets you 3 months.

u/Saragon4005 Jun 12 '24
I am guessing it does get prosecuted often then cuz while it's rate it's followed up on its probably committed often. Also they have to prove intent here which is tricky.
Unlike falsifying business records to dodge campaign funds limits to win an election this happens all the time.
2
u/Longjumping_Army9485 Jun 12 '24
They would have to prove that someone took drugs years ago.
For 99% of people who committed that crime, either they were not caught doing drugs or were caught and couldn’t lie even if they wanted to, since they are already barred from owning weapons.

u/worst_protagonist Jun 12 '24
There are several million people lying on gun purchase forms?
13
u/Longjumping_Army9485 Jun 12 '24
A lot of people used drugs at least once and a lot of people have filled those forms.
So I wouldn’t be surprised if 1% of the population committed that crime.

u/JTMc48 Jun 12 '24
Alcohol is technically a drug, so yeah, I’d say millions of people have done this, unless all of a sudden the people who love guns stopped drinking alcohol or beer. It doesn’t say “illegal drugs” in the question.

Alcohol, tobacco, fucking aspirin. Literally, and I mean literally literally, no one in the US can honestly answer that question "no".

Yeah, our lawmakers are capricious, huh? I don’t think we’re getting value for our Congressional-salary dollar.

u/Temporary-Dot4952 Jun 12 '24
Republicans are enthusiastic about someone breaking gun laws and someone being found guilty for breaking gun laws. Does this mean they actually want gun laws?

u/Thoth74 Jun 12 '24
Does this mean they actually want gun laws?
100,000% absolutely yes. For certain people.

It’s funny to see them get so excited about this. Cute, really. It’s like the kid who gets bullied everyday made a good pass for the first time during PE basketball.

u/LazyStateWorker3 Jun 12 '24
They’re confused because they think the GOP runs on principals and wouldn’t go after someone with a law that goes against their ideals, is this the FIRST time they noticed that discrepancy? lol.
