I guess I can stop being surprised Biden hasn't pardoned Hunter. I just expect this level of corruption from government officials and it's nice to be proven right

I know the Supreme Court can't block a presidential pardon, but it'd pretty funny if they did it anyway.
"Guy Who Wrote the Crime Bill Pardons his Crackhead Son"
the one time he finally decides to do something cool with the last few months in office, out of all the cool things he could have done, he does this?

no more half measures walter
I once again point out that both parties long for fascism. The GoP for the bluster of Mussolini, the Dems for the Hall Monitor Tyranny of a Salazar. Their Salazar just gave out an unsanctioned hall pass and they're reeling.
Don't vote for any Democrat in 2028 who doesn't repudiate Nate Silver within 48 hours
This is an appropriate litmus test, but genocide is just being "childish" "entitled" and "priveleged"
I swear to God these people are civility fascists
That is exactly what they are. Literally, formally fascists.
Lol havent seen NS comment in a long time
This is the day that Biden became presidential
When will Ranger Biden and Beastmaster Biden be pardoned
I AM SUPREME MAGUS BIDEN 
THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN PARDONED AND SENT TO THE GRAN CRYSTAL PALAIS IN THE OVERREALM
This is the second funniest thing he could have done on his way out and the third one already happened (welcoming Trump to the white house and posing with him). Let's hope for a hat trick!
Is the first one releasing the Epstein files?
he could die, initiating the prophecy of the Year of Four Presidents and making kamala the 47th president
All I want for Christmas.....
31 days remaining
He has to make it to January 1st
Depends on how you count the year. I'd say if there are four presidents within 365 days it still counts.
2025 is a year that must live in infamy
It would be nice if the Year of 4 Presidents happened all in 2025 but I won't be picky if Joe decides to kick the bucket early.
At least we get more Hunter Biden headlines
Must be awesome to have a powerful dad, get a super high paying job in Ukraine, smoke crack, shoot guns, drive around recklessly with guns and crack then get pardoned. Then have liberals insist it had nothing to do with the current war and that the US isn't the most corrupt country on earth.
Remember when he wen to court and libs were like "He'll go through the process, no special treatment"
Now they're like "Well Trump and Trump but Trump trumped trump trump"
even dark brandon said he would never pardon
Yea they're not wrong that republicans have no room to complain about this they just get really mad if you take the next logical step and say "because does and republicans aren't actually that different"
Justifying their actions by acknowledging it's hypocritical but they correctly don't care, but still trying maintain the moral high ground.
"As a Biden voter this is so fucking stupid. THIS is where we use the Republican’s moves against them? For his dickhead kid!? Not for the Supreme Court or pushing legislation through? Fuck, man.
Giving credence to their “Biden is corrupt” mantra and that both sides do it for their voters while solving nothing for common Americans at this really crucial time. It’s so insulting and such a bad move."
- the one non-shit comment in r/poltics about this
How many downvotes does it have?
I mean it was clear that he would do this the moment that Trump won, and honestly helping his son like a normal person is like the only human thing I've seen this ghoul do.
Would be cool if he'd apply that logic to anybody who doesn't have Biden for a last name
I have no sympathy for powerful ghouls who abuse their power only to help their own.
I don’t care how “human” it makes him.
It's awful but it's the awful of a King Lear fucking over everything he built, rather than the bloodless genocidal accounting of the Lanyard class.
Biden definitely thought the cancer took the wrong one, at least once. You know he has.
Boromir would have snorted all of coke!
Edit: Beauromir.

Real talk though, how is the ability to pardon anyone and everyone not the most “authoritarian” 
action a president can take
But we have democracy!!!!!!
Death to America
He's free to free anyone he wants. Now that's freedom!
I mean in genealogy of morals Nietzsche makes it clear mercy is the mark of power
This self-overcoming of justice: one knows the beautiful name it has given itself – mercy; it goes without saying that mercy remains the privilege of the most powerful man, or better, his – beyond the law.
It's literally the dialectical self overcoming of justice (sich selbstaufhebung).
Is hiring hunter best return on investment in history?
Ukraine got like 150 billion out of it
And 150k less unemployed people!
Biden can't do anything good, but he'll sure pardon his son!
A great day for failsons everywhere
