I announced an executive order on gun violence to intensify our work to save lives. It will keep firearms out of dangerous hands, takes every lawful action to move as close to universal background checks without new legislation, expands awareness about red flag laws, and more.

It’s long past time that we require safe storage of firearms. Require background checks for all gun sales. Eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.

We can and must do these things now.

If you didn't pay your taxes to the tune of $1.2 million and also signed a federal gun form stating you weren't a drug addict while, you know, being a crack addict, you also would probably get a sweet sweet plea bargain. If you were the president's son.

Remember folks, you -- a law abiding citizen owning a gun -- are a danger to the republic. Hunter Biden, a crack addict who lied on gun forms, and whose then-girlfriend threw his gun in a dumpster across from a high school, barely did anything wrong.

Just throwing this out there, but that guy's foundational premise is incorrect. Ashcroft's memo from 2003 was specifically superseded by a memo from Holder in 2010 with different guidance, but even Ashcroft's memo leaves a lot more room for prosecutorial discretion than he is portraying.

Many in media are highlighting the fact that this specific gun charge is rarely brought. But that’s a bit misleading: what do you expect the DOJ to do when a drug addict loses his firearm and it turns up outside of a high school after an FBI and secret service investigation? https://t.co/Jd2FVRp20U

To this day the Secret Service denies any involvement in the affair, despite eye witness testimony saying otherwise. Seems shady!

It was reported on his taxes, that's literally how we know he got paid. It says where it came from in the article too, in a direct quote of Ted Cruz. It's also not $10m like the headline says, it's $12.2m total from speaking fees and an advance on his book deal.
Cruz acts like he's too dumb to understand how book deals work and the concept of advance payment, because he knows people like you actually are too dumb to understand and will get riled up about it.
I'm honestly surprised how feeble this attempt to spin up a scandal is (the main supposed "witness" has been dead for years? Lol). It's clear they had to run with it before they were ready because of Trump's dumb ass getting indicted.

We all know politicians get rich. It is amazing how public servants are so rewarded. You have to be able to prove wrongdoing though, if you want to be taken seriously.

"Joe Biden's personal finances changed little between 2022 and the previous year, though his book royalties fell sharply, according to White House financial disclosure reports released on Monday.
Biden earned between $2,500 and $5,000 in book royalties in 2022, down from $30,000 a year earlier. He also earned less than $3,000 in "speaking and writing engagements", from close to $30,000 last year, the disclosures show.
The disclosures, which included Jill Biden's income, showed her book royalties also dropped. She earned between $5,000- $15,000 in 2022 compared with $15,000- $50,000 from book sales a year earlier.
The report also showed the couple's assets were worth between $1.09m and $2.57m."
Really popular while in office: Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s publishing career earned him considerably less than the president's totals. "Promises to Keep," released in 2007, earned less than $201 in royalties last year, according to Mr. Biden's financial disclosure form, also released on Thursday.
And "speaking fees" also mean sharing documents with Chinese officials at his Chinesep-funded classified document library.

Evidence of bribery. Unless every time someone gets money it is a bribe. Did Trump take bribes when millions went into his shell accounts? Did Kushner take a big bribe when the Saudis invested billions with him?

Biden has not had a real job since he entered office almost 50 years ago. There are no legit reasons for millions of dollars to just suddenly appear in his bank accounts. There is also no legit reason for Biden to have almost 2 dozen shell companies. What is he doing with all those paper businesses? Why do they exist? When did he start transacting and for what purpose?
The difference is a man who has been running business entities for over 50 years, has legit reasons to own multiple businesses and multiple entities. That same man has also been doing business around the world for decades, so there are legit reasons for money to be made in other countries and for that money to flow back into the bank accounts of his American entities. Then you have Biden who hasn't done any business anywhere overseas... and suddenly he gets millions of dollars at a time, dumped into his fake business entities. One of these has the potential to be from legit business actions, and the other is clearly some form of payout/bribery.
The shell accounts along with an FBI informant's report that $10 million was paid in bribes to Hunter and Joe when he was VP by Ukrainian oligarch and Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky.Porteroso said:Doc Holliday said:Dragging it out?

Just to clarify, I am not saying what he made off book and speaking deals. I am sharing data about how much he made of speaking and book deals. I am applying basic reason that if he made <$300 in royalites in 2013 and <$5,000 in 2022, I would be surprised if suddenly he earned millions in between. For his entire career, Biden has been a buffoon. Even among the most strident Democrats, I don't see any evidence there is a strong desire for anyone to pay for the bull**** that comes out of his mouth.Porteroso said:Harrison Bergeron said:This is not difficult:Porteroso said:

Without having to dig myself, why is it that you say he barely made anything from his book deal, when others say millions? What sort of disconnect is this?
