The irony detector just exploded
The United States strongly condemns Russia’s conviction of opposition leader Aleksey Navalny on politically motivated charges. The Kremlin cannot silence the truth. Navalny should be released.

No, really
(AP) A Russian court convicted imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny on charges of extremism and sentenced him to 19 years in prison on Friday. Navalny is already serving a nine-year term on a variety of charges that he says were politically motivated.
The new charges are related to the activities of Navalny’s anti-corruption foundation and statements by his top associates. It was his fifth criminal conviction and his third and longest prison term — all of which his supporters see as a deliberate Kremlin strategy to silence its most ardent opponent. (snip)
It took the judge less than 10 minutes to announce the verdict and the sentence — something that in Russia usually takes hours and even days. The hearing was broadcast to reporters in a separate room, but the judge’s speech was barely audible.
Navalny commented on the sentence in a social media post, presumably relayed through his team, saying that “the number doesn’t matter.”
“I understand perfectly that, as many political prisoners, I’m serving a life sentence, which is measured by the length of my life or the length of life of this regime,” Navalny said, urging his supporters “not to lose the will to resist” in the wake of his sentence.
I wonder how Democrats will respond when Biden is out of office and a Republican prosecutor, or a DOJ run by a Republican president, comes after him? I really would like them to not go after Biden, no matter how shady and criminal he’s been, but, Democrats have set the stage.
But, but, but, the distinguished Mr Dowd will sputter, what Donald Trump did is different!
Mr Teach: how Democrats will respond when Biden is out of office and a Republican prosecutor, or a DOJ run by a Republican president, comes after him? I really would like them to not go after Biden, no matter how shady and criminal he’s been
If President Biden has committed significant criminal acts then Republican prosecutors or the DOJ SHOULD investigate and indict him if indicated! This is America where even the elites should not be above the law.
The Republican House should open their investigation of Joe Biden to air out all the charges and evidence against Biden for the American people to see. They can impeach him as Clinton and Trump were.
Ex-President Trump has been accused of serious crimes against the people of America, the most serious being attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election – and will get his days in court.
Teach is being disingenuous comparing the American legal system to Russia’s and comparing Navalny’s case to Trump’s, but we understand to what audience propagandists such as Mr Teach appeals.
Pull your head out, porkchop.
Johnnie boy’s, too.
Nothing to see here!

Bwaha! Lolgf
Joe Biden’s corruption??
Show me the money !
Biden has zero
Yachts
Jets
After 74years he had enough money to buy a beach house for 2.4 million
He rides a mountain bike for fun
He vacations on NANTUCKET but only in the off season in a rented house.
Heine the Clintons has chosen NOT to live a luxury life style.
The Clintons each command a 250 to 500000$ speaking fees. Yet they have chosen not to upgrade their lifestyle. It just isn’t that important to them
Their first house that they bought 23 years ago in NY cost 2.5 million. Their 2nd house in Dyc cost 4.5 million.
Hillary has “admitted” to over paying for the pantsuits that she wears.
Hunter Biden? Charge him. I don’t see Dems lining up to defend him for his charges. Only about 3000 Americans are indicted for tax evasion each year. Only about 600 receive prison terms, usually if they refuse to pay. Hunter Biden has paid, but if you think because he is the son of our president, and deserves to be made an example of, I would say you have a valid point. As far as lying on his gun purchase form concerning drug use, I will let Teach speak of that.
the money is in numbered accounts in places like Togo, Cayman islands, the Fiji, Cuba, Venezuela and any other corrupt area from the Ukraine to Syria.
You really are a dancing monkey for the leftists. You believe everything they tell you from COVID came from gay bats to the earth is gonna burn up if we don’t get rid of our cars. It’s amazing help perfectly reasonable people buy this BS that you buy.

“Democrats clarify that no one is above the law that they selectively enforce…”
Jack Smith is not a Democrat.
Do you feel that trying to overturn an election and preventing the peaceful transfer of power is not a crime?
Jack Smith worked for Lois Lerner.
That’s pretty much all one needs to know about Jack Smith.

Jack Smith? The fact that he is so deeply involved in Democrat politics makes him unsuitable for anything that you would necessarily have to be honest. To have Jack Smith involved in the prosecution of Donald Trump is like having Adolf Hitler involved in the prosecution of a Jew. The Democrats inability to be fair about anything is just revolting.
They have made it so that the system is the problem the system is the corruption and the system is what needs to be wholly changed.

Jack Smith is neither judge nor jury.
Never happen. Conservative prosecutors don’t go after political opponents. Only democratic party activists do that.
Bullshit. See Clinton, William Jefferson. See Edwards, Johnny.
While it’s true more Republicans are prosecuted than Dems, there may be a reason for that. Anyway, Repugs tend to break laws when they’re in the Executive Branch, Dems when they are legislators or judges.
