What a ridiculous thing for you to say. The whole reason people plead guilty is to get a lighter sentence. It’s not a secret backroom deal it’s a public deal between the defence and the prosecution. Look at all the Trump associates and Jan 6 insurrectionists who have pleaded guilty to crimes. The Democrat judge is the one who quashed the plea deal being worked out between Hunter’s defence team and the Trump-appointed prosecutor who brought the charges. I think the only gullible people are people like you who believe in conspiracies woth no evidence. If he pleads guilty for a lighter sentence, it’s rigged. If he pleads not guilty and is acquitted it’s rigged. If he pleads not guilty and is convicted it’s still somehow secretly rigged they’re just trying to make it look like it’s not rigged. So to recap you’re going to admit you’re wrong if BOTH of the following happen: - He is sentenced to at least 2 years in prison, AND -He serves the entire 2+ year sentence behind bars As you likely well know first time non-violent offenders rarely serve the entire prison sentence behind bars so I think you’re deliberately setting an artificially high bar so you can scream conspiracy And the 2 year sentence which you seem to have just pulled out of your ass is also unreasonably high once again so you scream conspiracy. As I noted earlier in this thread, the median sentence for this crime is 15 months and those most similar to Hunter (no prior convictions, etc) have received a range of 10-16 months, with 30% getting no jail time at all.2 points

MAGA’s Shocking New Lie About Hunter Biden Verdict Is Deeply Revealing Even the presidential son’s conviction is proof of a vast conspiracy against Donald Trump. It’s all about laying a pretext for Trump to go after Biden and Democrats. …It’s worth dwelling on how convoluted the new MAGA claim truly is. First, recall that the special counsel who secured Hunter Biden’s conviction, David Weiss, was originally appointed as a U.S. attorney by Trump. Did he deliberately handle his prosecutorial task skillfully in order to serve this sinister end of making the justice system appear balanced, thus secretly doing Biden’s 11-dimensional-chess bidding? What’s more, remember that the right exploded with fury last spring when prosecutors originally reached a plea deal with Hunter Biden (which subsequently fell apart), seeing the impulse to spare him a trial as another sign of a pro-Biden conspiracy. On top of that, during Hunter Biden’s trial, right-wing media figures relentlessly chargedthat Biden family members, including the president, were secretly trying to influence the jury and tamper with witnesses—more evidence of dark and dastardly Biden family machinations, this time geared toward getting Hunter Biden off. Now that the thing the MAGA right warned against (Hunter skating free) did not happen, it too has magically been repurposed into the same Biden-orchestrated conspiracy. Finally, recall that the MAGA right’s primary purpose in focusing so relentlessly on Hunter Biden has been to gin up a case for impeaching and prosecuting his father, mostly around a tortured series of claims about the Bidens’ foreign dealings. Why haven’t either of these things happened? Well, House Republicans failed to find any basis for impeachment after months of trying. Despite all that effort, they still haven’t found any grounds for criminal referrals about President Biden to the Justice Department (they have referredtheir claims about Hunter Biden). Meanwhile, another special counsel, Robert Hur, did not recommend charging the president with criminal mishandling of classified documents because he couldn’t find evidence of it. Hur, too, was originally appointed U.S. attorney by…President Trump. For the MAGA right, the problem here can’t possibly be that President Biden didn’t actually commit any crimes. It can only be that the Justice Department is too corrupted to prosecute them, and that House GOP leaders are too weak-kneed and feckless (another bizarre MAGA claim) to ferret them out themselves. Bizarrely, after all that, now that Hunter Biden actually has been found guilty of crimes, that also cannot possibly mean the justice system is operating as it should, because that would be exonerating to the president and affirm his claims that he is keeping his hands off the department. The enormous contortions required to portray the justice system as rigged at every turn show yet again that pretty much everything the MAGA right is saying about these matters is about laying a pretext for Trump, once back in office, to launch prosecutions of Biden and Democrats without cause, under the guise of tit-for-tat payback for something that wasn’t actually done to Trump and his followers. As I’ve argued, Trump and his MAGA allies relentlessly claim that he will seek “revenge” and exact “retribution” with such prosecutions, to reverse-engineer the deceptive impression that Trump was the victim of what he is threatening, i.e. prosecutions without a legitimate basis. Additionally, MAGA Republicans have constantly claimed that law enforcement has relentlessly targeted ordinary conservative parents (which is a lie) and that the prosecutions of January 6 rioters are illegitimate (they are absolutely in keeping with the rule of law). The sum total of all this monumental deception is that Trump and his followers are being massively victimized by our justice system, and that only carrying out mass prosecutions against the opposition will set that right. That the president’s son was found guilty by a jury of his peers who evaluated actual evidence presented by prosecutors—just as happened to Trump in his hush money trial—is kryptonite to this sleazy scam. Nothing is more devastating to the MAGA worldview than the idea that the justice system is actually functioning fairly. https://newrepublic.com/article/182603/hunter-biden-verdict-guilty-trump2 points

You are not telling the truth there fella. " After more than 25 years of Canadian governments pursuing a hands-off approach to the online world, the government of Justin Trudeau is now pushing Bill C-10, a law that would see Canadians subjected to the most regulated internet in the free world. Although pitched as a way to expand Canadian content provisions to the online sphere, the powers of Bill C-10 have expanded considerably in committee, including a provision introduced last week that could conceivably allow the federal government to order the deletion of any Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or Twitter upload made by a Canadian. In comments this week, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh indicated his party was open to providing the votes needed to pass C-10, seeing the bill as a means to combat online hate."

@Moonbox is kind of like that. It's pretty clear he's suggesting that, but he will now spend 15 pages demanding he never suggested anything of the kind. Especially if he's losing the discussion. As you can see above when he couldn't argue against the fact that the whole trial looks like a witchhunt to bury a political opponent, he tried to fixate on an unrelated point. I said the lawyers who defended trump in court were his defense lawyers and that a defense lawyer is the guy who presents the defendants defense, and he's tried to claim i said that only lawyers in court are defense lawyers. And for what? It makes no difference, other than he tried to pretend that trump's defense lawyer said the judge was great but it wasn't trump's defense lawyer. He''ll do the same thing with you, claim he never said things he did, then try to change the subject to something minor that he thinks he can win on,1 point

I have no interest in your wildly improbable conspiracy theories. And regardless, none of it would be obstruction of justice or any impediment to an investigation. That's beyond stupid.

You are a complete waste of time. Seriously... The vast majority of charges brought are for misdemeanors and the vast majority to come are for misdemeanors.

Of course he was accosting women. What do you think a self-identified "street counselor" does? Nobody shows up to his "street office" for counseling. He harrasses the women as they enter and exit. He was following women across the street as they left PP when the escort first approached him. Oh, good. Doubling down on the dishonesty. Complete bullshit that "assault" generally describes a verbal exchange, which was all this was before Houck assaulted love. The only violence or threat of physical violence was from Houck. He committed the assault. You got the facts wrong again and instead of just owning up to it and moving on, you want to invent a new definition for "assault."🙄 Oh, I don't think any child should be put in a situation like that. It's pretty awful for them. That Houck would put a child in that situation over and over and over again is a good indicator of his "character." But that's not what makes him a bully. He's a bully because he goes out of his way to harass emotionally vulnerable women and assaults old men. FACE does indeed protect those seeking care and the staff providing it. That's why it explicitly calls out injury and intimidation--those are things done to people, not to doorways. It probably should have been prosecuted as simple assault to avoid the question of whether Love was functioning in his capacity as an escort. But it's a point of fact that FACE does protect the escorts. Actual news or even "Religious news" Really? You don't think that watching a bully like Houck shove an escort to the ground outside of Planned Parenthood might intimidate people trying to access Planned Parenthood, as prohibited by FACE? That seems pretty obvious. The FBI say that they acted professionally and according to standards. People are arrested in such a fashion every day. Again, there's nothing vindictive about arresting someone at their home. You want to claim motive for something that's clearly not in evidence. Apparently being arrested at home was an inconvenience for Houck. Boo hoo. You are trying to apply a very specious double standard here. Houck is there, literally, with the sole purpose of "instigating crap." He has no business there whatsoever except to harass women. When he goes up and talks to them, telling them things they don't want to hear, are the hearers legally entitled to shove, hit or kick him? Yet, when Love approaches Houck to say things he doesn't want to hear, you think it gives Houck license to assault the old man? Houck in his own words (Listen to this snowflake b*tch): "I walk him there and tell him to stop talking to my son," the activist recalled. "He doesn't have any permission to talk to my son. Next thing I know, he turns around and he's talking to my son again and then you see the push." His whole farking purpose in being there is to talk to people he "doesn't have "permission" to talk to. But when it happens to him he thinks it's a free pass to assault an old man. Like I said, you guys are classic bullies. You love to dish it out, but can't take it.1 point

If there was a secret deal he wouldn’t have pleaded not guilty. I’ll remind you the attempt at a plea bargain FAILED because of concerns raised by the judge If the judge was in the Biden’s pocket that wouldn’t have happened What you’re doing is dodging the question because like most MAGAs you want to make baseless accusations and predictions and you don’t want to be held accountable when those claims turn out to be BS. You want to be able to shriek that he got some secret special treatment no matter what the sentence is. SO I ASK YOU AGAIN : Tell us what a reasonable sentence is.1 point

Unfortunately it is the society we live in. During the time I was in school, cops were tall and thin and respected. I figured they were thin because they didn't have to wear a bulky bulletproof vest. Back then, people weren't such monsters as to imagine taking a shot at a cop. We don't like this, but our world is dangerous. No school is really safe. None of us like having to put these domestic soldiers in institutions of learning, but they are needed. And they have a very precious cargo to protect. Even Florida schools are unsafe, (especially those !diots in Broward County.) But you know, I gotta wonder. If a liberal discovers someone is breaking into his house, does he dial 911 and plead "Please send some armed goons over here."1 point

That support is old news and it doesn't change who did what. They started with foreign made rockets routed through Sudan and smuggled via Egypt. Then they moved on to domestic production supplemented with smuggled components. There's a whole history here, it's open source and you can read all about it... no time travel required. But who pulled the trigger and who did the do? Who went room to room and house to house systematically killing and raping as they went? That's who I hold to account and from what I saw of the videos there was a distinct shortage of ethnic Chinese folks in attendance. Louisville slugger might have made the bat but they didn't steal your wallet, give you the concussion or defund the police. Are the people who voted for defunding responsible for your concussion or was it the bat wielding felon who was out on bail for two previous batting infractions? He might not have been able to do that without liberals repeatedly setting him free, but even the staunches of conservatives knows who it was that swung the bat. Good, we can move past the history lessons then, IMO it's long past time to grab reality by the throat ... those dinosaur eggs were never going to hatch anyway.1 point

Since 2019, Joe Biden has repeatedly distanced himself from his family’s business dealings, saying that he has never so much as discussed them with his relatives or with anyone else. But House impeachment inquiry interviews, public records and emails reviewed by POLITICO show that members of his inner circle were regularly enmeshed in those dealings: Many of the president’s closest staffers and advisers have doubled as his relatives’ business associates, both during and after their stints working for the man at the center of the Biden family orbit.

All people should be equal before the law (even though I don't believe all people are equal as I believe in evolution, some more some less evolved), but it make me upset when a tiny minority tries to take advantage of the laws meant to protect them by victimizing themselves or governments having special treatments when it comes to employment or hate laws.

Sure. Pretending that it makes sense to call someone in their 40s and "old man" is obviously way more reasonable than admitting you just had the facts wrong.👍 Again, you have the facts wrong. Houck and his kid were just up the block from the doors of Planned Parenthood. No street crossing required. He can't heckle women effectively from across the street, after all. 🙄 False on two counts. He was not "in their faces." In fact, Houck came back to Love to finally shove the actual old man to the ground. You can watch the video. Feel free to enjoy Houck's lawyer's ridiculous color commentary. Won't change the actual footage of what happened. And your comment is also false because talking to someone, at someone or near someone is NOT the legal definition of assault. You simply made that up. That's why you can't cite the law-- PA or Federal. Love didn't touch or physically threaten anyone. Houck, a bully and a menace, decided to make it physical. Perhaps he was tired of verbally accosting women and looking to let off a little steam. 🙄 Bullshit. I DO care. Houck has become something of a folk hero in conservative circles, but his actions are indefensible. He physically assaulted an (actual) old man--twice. And his excuse is that he didn't like the language--the speech--his victim was using? GTFO. The man drove two hours--regularly--to harass people with his speech that they surely didn't want to hear. It's not an excuse for assault. He absolutely should have been arrested and he absolutely should have faced trial. That's not a question. Perhaps it should have been for simple assault rather than the FACE act, but the FACE act was triggered because the man he assaulted was an escort for women trying to access the facility. --Think about that for a moment, these women need an escort just to feel safe while trying to access health care, because of people like Houck. I don't know where you're getting--or cooking up--this information, but, again, Houck was not across the street from Planned Parenthood. He was just up the sidewalk from the gates where the escorts operate. And, again, if you think crossing the street to seek out conflict would have been a big deal, then you must be incensed at Houck for regularly driving two hours to verbally accost people. 🙄 Do decent people drive two hours--with a child in tow--to harass women who are just trying to access health care? No, that's pretty shitty. Noooope. Assault is, indeed, a federal crime. You are not allowed to attack someone for talking to you and saying things you don't like. My goodness, can you imagine? Protests and counterprotests would just be a legally permissible free-for-all. Where do you get this stuff? Like, YouTube comments? The FACE act goes beyond physically blocking access. (1)by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person because that person is or has been, or in order to intimidate such person or any other person or any class of persons from, obtaining or providing reproductive health services; False, again, for multiple reasons. Houck wasn't across the street, but rather just up the sidewalk. And, of course, local authorities weren't going to charge him with FACE violations, so that's left to the feds. Again, I don't know the full rationale for charging with FACE rather than assault, but let's not pretend that Houck was the victim here. He's not a victim or a hero. Just a bully who can dish out words but can't take 'em. He assaulted an (actual) old man, and it was right to arrest and try him, even if the jury acquitted.1 point

Your surprised? Since immigration is now a "right" we have nationals from almost every country living abroad. These "immigrants" didn't leave their emotional baggage at home when they left. No they brought it with them to their new homes and when trouble arises at "home" they flood to the motherlands support. Jews, Irish, Haitians, Palestinians, the list goes on. "Local conflicts" no longer exist. The front lines have become the world and governments have little choice in confronting "foreign" support.1 point
