The verdict undermines their claims that the U.S. Department of Justice has been “weaponized” against Donald Trump and his supporters.

Several prominent Republicans said they were not impressed by the guilty verdict against President Joe Biden’s son on Tuesday, complaining that the government should have busted him for worse crimes.

A Delaware jury found Hunter Biden, 54, guilty on three counts related to a gun purchase in 2018 when he was addicted to crack cocaine. Hunter Biden’s crimes carry a prison sentence of up to 25 years.

“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign, said in reaction to the verdict.

    both lazy welfare leaches and simultaneously stealing all the jobs

    They’re half right, and I wanna talk about that.

    I’ve worked with a lot of Romanian kids in I.T, and these people are the most effective, skillful, professional and happy I.T people I’ve seen. I’m none of those things, some days.

    They’re stealing jobs by being so fucking heroic, and I know I can’t compete.

    They represent super well. That’s all I gotta say. Hire more Romanian kids for I.T, and I’ll be down at the bread line, because der takin meh jerb.

      Where do you get Romanians in IT?

      Also, I’d like it if we all adopted the process of CAPITALIZING OUR SURNAMES in email signatures.

      I’ve only ever seen Romanians do it, but it’s genius.
