Hunter Biden's Guilty Verdict Has Broken The Brains Of MAGAland
They cannot cope with a (sort of) impartial justice system.

I would love to debate the fairness of Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict. I would love to point out that a Republican prosecutor and a Republican judge went out of their way to secure a guilty verdict in a case that even the jurors have said seemed like a waste of time. A guilty verdict they felt they had to deliver considering the instructions they were given and the evidence they were presented (and the evidence they felt they had not been allowed to see).
But none of that matters because despite being found guilty, which is what the right has been clamoring for, Hunter Biden’s verdict has shattered what tenuous little grip the right had on sanity and decency.
Let’s start with the low-hanging fruit.
Katy Tur, MSNBC’s resident Trump apologist, got the ball rolling by repeatedly reminding the audience that Jill Biden is not Hunter Biden’s biological mother. She did this because apparently Tur was offended people were praising Dr. Biden for supporting Hunter by showing up in court, unlike Trump’s family who had to be shamed to show up.
That was pretty bad. Naturally, Laura Loomer, one of the worst people to ever exist, built on that success:
She’s been screaming hate and bile at the Bidens for days and her fans are eating it up with a spoon. They “made the libs cry” so the more cruel and sadistic the posts, the happier they are.
It’s really important to understand how depraved this particular line of attack is. Tur is just the polite version of it. Loomer is saying the exact same thing but without any filters. The fact that the right thinks this is a legitimate talking point is weird and creepy.
Are there no Republican step-parents? Don’t Republicans love to adopt Black children and raise them to be self-hating? Do not one of them consider themselves “mom” or “dad?” I find that to be extremely unlikely.
It’s also really important to note that Jill Biden raised Hunter from roughly age seven and on. Most kids consider the person in their life for that long to be a parent.
We’re not even going to get into the insinuation that Biden had his wife and infant daughter murdered because what the actual fuck is wrong with Loomer? It should also be noted, however, that not a single fucking Republican will denounce her. And neither will anyone in the press. Republicans being monsters is just shrugged off as normal. Never a price to pay. That’s how they get to keep doing it.
But here’s where Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict really broke the brains of the MAGAts still reeling from their God Emperor being a 34-count felon. The New Republic explains:
Incredibly, they are declaring that this guilty verdict slapped on Biden’s son also proves that the system is rigged against Trump. Which reveals something essential about how dependent the MAGA worldview is on elaborate fantasies about the movement’s alleged persecution.
“Hunter Biden guilty. Yawn,” tweeted MAGA thought leader Charlie Kirk. “The true crimes of the Biden Crime Family remain untouched. This is a fake trial trying to make the Justice system appear ‘balanced.’ Don’t fall for it.”
“The gun charges are a giant misdirection,” added Stephen Miller. He added that the verdict is an easy opportunity for the Justice Department to hoodwink “a pliant media that is all too willing to be duped. Don’t be gaslit. This is all about protecting Joe Biden and only Joe Biden.”
Got that? Hunter Biden being found guilty is proof that Trump’s trial was actually rigged all along!
This is the problem for these fucking lowlives: They all know, without a shred of doubt, from the dumbest of the dumbfuck MAGAts to the least brain-damaged Republican in Washington DC, that Donald Trump would have pardoned Don Jr. for literally any crime he was charged with. Jr. could have been caught snorting coke off of a 12-year-old sex slave he had tied up in the basement and Trump would have signed that pardon before the handcuffs were on.
So watching Joe Biden refuse to use his power, his constitutional power, his absolute constitutional power that cannot be blocked, contested, or reviewed in any way whatsoever, to protect his son is incomprehensible. Republicans only understand corruption so therefore, everyone must be corrupt.
Further, Biden not using “his” Department of Justice to kill the prosecution does not compute. Everyone knows Trump did this and got away with it multiple times. Trump is quite literally running for president explicitly to order the DoJ to stop the prosecutions against him. He’s not hiding it at all.
So why didn’t Biden, who everyone knows directly controls the DoJ, protect his son? Unless…IT’S A DEEP STATE PLOT AND A DISTRACTION!
Of course, the difference between “everyone knows” Trump abused his power and “everyone knows” Biden is doing the same thing is that we have a mountain of evidence to prove Trump’s corruption. Biden’s corruption, on the other hand, is a fantasy fabricated by the right. Specifically, a fantasy to justify and excuse Trump’s corruption.
You know the words so say them with me: Every Republican accusation is a confession. Always.
Republicans cannot process a president not abusing their power for their own personal gain. Biden standing aside for the rule of law, no matter how much it hurts him and his family, makes Republican corruption look a thousand times more pathetic and gross than it already does. The GOP has been crying rivers of blood over the slightest hint of accountability. The Bidens are taking it on the chin. It exposes how craven Trump and his bootlickers are. It shames them and fills them with even more rage at their own weakness.
The solution? Scream that it’s all a sham. Just a ploy to make Trump look bad. To distract from his political persecution.
The disconnect from reality is complete and total. These are people that can never again be allowed to wield power. They are delusional and dangerous. And, frankly, they’re fucking assholes. Vote accordingly.

Thank you for wading in and excoriating both Tur and the bottomlessly execrable Loomer. I had trouble understanding what Tur was gassing on about, until I saw Loomer’s tweet which spelled it all out. Extraordinary, the whole mythology the right has woven around Joe and Jill Biden, whose blameless family life makes that of Cheeto Ceausescu look doubly depraved.
How much hate does Loomer have in her? What a vile, despicable thing to say. Who says, without a shred of evidence, such horrible things?
I hope she’s sued for defamation.
Somebody shut her TFU.
