    Who cares, no one is voting for Hunter Biden. Or any Biden.

    This is why I think they are screwed in this election. There is no scandal or even a hint of a scandal. James Comey ain’t walkin’ through that door!

    One example that the right wing media was correct. A prime example that associates of Hunter Biden are sleazy and self-serving.
    An example of why Devon Archer identifies with MAGA. One con artist and convicted felon supporting another con artist and convicted felon.
    Oglala tribe fraud
    In 2015, Archer and his associates, including Jason Galanis and his father, John, urged the Oglala Nation, a Native American tribe in South Dakota, to issue $60 million of bonds.[26] They used the funds from the bond sale for themselves, instead of investing the money for the benefit of the Oglala community.[27] Archer illegally transferred $20 million of the proceeds through his real estate company, Rosemont Seneca "to satisfy the net capital requirements of two other Archer-controlled companies".[28]

    A federal jury in Manhattan convicted Devon Archer of defrauding the Oglala Sioux community of $60 million in bond-sale proceeds in 2018. In 2019, U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams overturned the verdict and ordered a new trial for Archer. In October 2020, federal prosecutors appealed Abrams' decision to a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit which ordered that Archer be sentenced for the 2018 conviction of securities fraud and conspiracy.[27] On February 28, 2022, Archer was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for defrauding "a Native American tribe to issue $60 million in economic-development bonds and then diverting the proceeds for his own use."[27][29]

    Archer was also ordered to make restitution of over $43 million to the Oglala Sioux.[26] His petition to appeal the conviction was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court in late January 2024.[30]

    I'm sure the Kurds will disagree with you.

    I wonder if Archer has to pay back the $43 million before applying to get his voting rights restored.
