We all know that the Cheeto’s first act will be to pardon himself, his children, and anyone else who might be useful. Honestly, I’d respect Biden less if he hadn’t pardoned Hunter.
Same. I was a little irritated about him signalling that he wouldn't pardon Hunter initially like. Bro come on shit on the Republicans and be crass about it.
It’s beneficial to him and politically shrewd. If Trump does it for his family then he’s as bad as Biden. If congress passes a law banning it for family then Trump is potentially exposed. They’ll have to find a more clever way to come after him and that makes their job more difficult in both the long and short term.
Wow, something Biden did drew blowback from Republicans? Imagine that!
This is a non-story. Biden could declare that water is wet and would receive blowback. To Republicans, even an extremely moderate democrat can do nothing right simply because he's a democrat.
I'm not sure whether I agree with Biden pardoning his son, but I can certainly understand why he would do it. Beyond the fact that he's a father who loves his son, he has nothing to lose at this point. Trump is going to destroy Biden's legacy anyway.
"Father helps son using tools available to him. People who disagree with his stance on politics are upset about it"
Democrats have every reason to complain or to shrug.
Republicans can fuck themselves. Do you know what you are, now? Do you know what you've done?
The assumption that people will always treat their friends/family/benefactors better than others should be baked into how we organize instead of being a continuous foil to fairness
I'm not sure why anyone thinks Biden cares.
