30. This isn't a both sides issue.

Dec 2024

When one side is in the wrong and one side is not in the wrong, it is not correct to say that both sides should be treated the same.

Certainly it must be repeated over and over that Trump actually did commit crimes that often result in prison time and financial penalties and that Hunter's crimes are practically never even prosecuted, much less result in prison. And that Hunter willingly paid his tax penalties before he was even prosecuted.

The two sides are not the same and should not have the same outcomes.
