Here is the only issue I have with the pardon.
Once Kamala lost, Biden should have started to go hog wild with last minute shenanigans in order to give Americans things they actually need. Instead he decided to pardon Hunter a full month before leaving office rather than helping us out and doing the pardon on the last day. Now, even if he does do things that will help Americans, nobody will notice because of the pardon.
Yo, we're in Trump land now, Fascism already won my dudes. Biden is just seeing the writing on the wall and adapting to the change. Trump already pardoned Jared Kushner's criminal dad, so why not pardon your own son now? The game is changed and if you're still holding on to ethical ideals you're a fool. At the very least Biden is making sure they can't chase his son as part of a witch hunt next year.
People voted for Trump or failed to turn out for Kamila, either way everyone now needs to get used to the new norm.
EDIT: The irony of blasting Biden for going against his word in his son's best interest while Trump is about to become president is the most laughable hypocrisy I've ever seen. If this group is actually just a bunch of super leftist and not foreign manipulation then I look forward to watching y'all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine, the US leaves NATO, and western democracy collapses.
DNC: We're the friendly fascists. We choose the corporation over the people in all aspects. We still worship the oligarchy the MAGA fascists will incorporate, we just choose the honey of caring about social issues as opposed to the vinegar of hating the others.
I love it how the liberals think "Well Trump did it too!" is some kind of own. America is so comically corrupt it is hard to take their government and the people who support it seriously
It's bad to pardon family, but at the same time, I'd fully support pardoning a random person who had a no-prison plea deal the judge threw out after the defendant admitted guilt.
Especially when the crime that resulted in a jail time sentence is one that's almost exclusively used as an add-on for violent offenders. Any person with a medical Marijuana card and a gun or who ate half a gummy at a friend's house in a state where it's legal while their gun was locked in a safe at home has committed the same crime.
But it also looks bad for him to pardon his son, and Trump's sycophants will absolutely cling to this.
For civilians, posting revenge porn like mtg did during congressional hearings would be highly illegal and any judge would take that into consideration. Judges are a lot more lenient than people think and he broke the law, but he is the only one who ever had Congress use revenge porn on...
It is also crazy they spent millions investigating Hunter Biden because they found nothing on Biden himself
If MTG didn't fiddle herself over Hunter every night and post his dick pics everywhere, sure, Biden shouldnt have done it
But, they did.
The harsh reality is, that Biden should be able to sue for damages, but he can't do that
Yeah. This is the pardon that is going to break the country, not the fact that individual’s who received a pardon from Trump’s first term and now being nominated to his cabinet.
I'm sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.
Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that's why he won. It sucks to hear but it's true.
If everyone who comments here emailed Joe Biden with suggestions as to how he could use his newly-expanded powers to help deserving people in America (or influenced by America) it would probably not make a difference, but there's a non-zero possibility he'd actually do some of it.
Let's face it for elites.... They are not American, they are Elites that use America as their playground
... The Biden tanked the Harris campaign out of spite and don't care who gets in as it doesn't really affect them.
These are extremely rich people..... Unless we are in Red China, they have nothing to fear
Who GAF. If Americans didn't want a Trump dictatorship, the 10 million who voted for Biden in 2020 and didn't bother to vote in 2024 should have fucking shown up and voted for Harris - in spite of blaming her for Gaza, or not liking that she used to be a prosecutor and therefore theoretically MUST have sent innocent black guys to prison, or being sick of no good choices, or whatever their half-assed reason was for doing nothing. At this point Biden can have Seal Team Six take out Santa Claus for all I care.
Everyone who is upset about this fails to comprehend that the world has fundamentally changed since then and Americans literally voted trump into office.
Either that or they're paid trolls. Hard to tell sometimes.
