The charges are centered on at least $1.4 million in taxes Hunter Biden owed during between 2016 and 2019, a period where he has acknowledged struggling with addiction. The back taxes have since been paid.

So the taxes are paid? Fine him for being a fuck up and move on.

Wait so bro was a junkie all was fine. Now that he's trying to get his act back together, which is incredibly hard and painful to do. They are jumping on him, shit I wish we could all start seeing addiction as it is, not a crime but a disease.

I'm not saying that being addicted should make you immune to crimes, or that you shouldn't deal with the consequences of your own actions.

But come on... It's a disgrace, letting people with real mental problems go about without proper treatment. It's repeating the cycle. This whole persecution campaign from the republicans makes 0 sense.

He got his shit back together, wich is more then most people who ever had an addiction....it is low key impressive

It makes perfect sense.

Republicans want to throw anyone not considered normal in prison.

And if that not-normal person is a politically advantageous target, then it's twice as sensible.

This whole ... republicans make 0 sense
