Joe letting his son out to dry wouldn't have stopped Trump from...

[Tommy Carcetti]

…blanket pardoning all people convicted of January 6th crimes, including violent ones.

Everyone here understands that, right?

I mean, like it or not, an outgoing President pardoning a family member isn’t an unprecedented move.

Just ask Roger Clinton, Neil Bush and Billy Carter.

1. K&R

2. Anytime we show mercy they will use that as an excuse to let their lawbreakers get away with murder

[Crunchy Frog]

3. They'll do it anyway.

[Walleye]

9. Oh yeah, they'll do it. Anyway, it's just a question of what propaganda they will use to bring their people around.

[Mike 03]

4. Completely

It's actually totally irrelevant what Trump or any MAGA thinks about the pardon. We could all guess what they would think. It wouldn't change a thing.

The only painful part will be for the people who still consume legacy media having to read and hear the false moral equivalency between the pardon of Hunter and the pay-for-play, irresponsible pardons Trump has and will give in the future.

10. The NY Times has such an article this morning

Saying that Biden has now "politicized" the Justice Dept just like Trump.

[Cha]

32. Oh Fuck that Stupid Gaslit

Noise!

[Omnipresent]

5. It's not something to sweat over.

I just wish joe would have stepped down for kamala, so she could have done it.

[rampartd]

7. deleted by poster.

[Omnipresent]

14. I guess you're being sarcastic?

[rampartd]

15. before the edit that post sounded like a death threat

maybe i didn't tone it down enough?

[niyad]

30. Are you saying that the post was more misogynistic before the edit?

[claudette]

8. No

It’s better he shows his love for his son.

[Omnipresent]

16. "Yes" is the answer.

Kamala breaks glass ceiling and becomes the 47th president.

Trump’s “45-47” merchandise gets throw in the garbage (as he gets bumped down the road).

Joe gets distanced from pardoning his son.

[claudette]

26. Nice fantasy

Was never gonna happen. And shouldn’t have.

[Omnipresent]

28. "None of it is going to happen"?

Why exactly shouldn’t any of it happen?

[claudette]

6. Exactly

Even if Biden had not pardoned his son the orange felon will still pardon the J6 criminals and anyone else his ugly immoral heart desires

[AloeVera]

11. Or just ask Charles Kushner or Billy Carter.

At least Hunter was not named the Ambassador to France.

[moniss]

12. Of course but it hands them a phony justification to help

blunt any blow-back when they do.

[RandomNumbers]

19. Justice for Hunter is worth it. America had an opportunity to avoid the disaster

that will be the SF's administration, and the nonsense that comes with it - including phony justifications for all kinds of bullshit.

America chose this. Well, the majority of those eligible, who could be bothered to vote, in the swing states. But still.

I don't see letting the bus continue to back up and drive over one person, worth a potential tiny dent in what is to come.

[moniss]

25. I agree but my point is that we need to be ready to recognize

ahead of time that they will use it in that fashion and prepare to counter the BS. We now have time to formulate how to argue the point in clear ways for when the media inundates all Dems with their "what about" crap. Yes the crap is going to come, we know it and so let's be better prepared to counter the BS messaging.

[moniss]

29. As I said it is one thing to to be positive for the pardon and nobody reasonably disagrees with it but

my larger point stands.

[CaptainTruth]

13. Yes, we all know this. They don't care what we do...

...they're going to do what they want regardless of what we do.

Plus, if Trump does pardon the J6 insurrectionists we'll be able to repeatedly point out the differences in the pardons... "Remember when Hunter Biden attacked the Capital, beat police officers, & tried to overthrow the government & then was pardoned? Oh... wait..."

[barbtries]

18. that's great, and i will,

but knowing it will fall on deaf ears. indoctrinated, hateful, angry people who don't care. my own brother being one of them.

[CaptainTruth]

23. As long as I breathe I won't stop pointing out their hypocrisy & ignorance.

[barbtries]

24. you and me both.

willful ignorance. and their bigotries, stupidity, and hate.

this is kinda my pledge to the generations coming up, cause i'm getting old. they won't change me and i ain't shutting up.

[barbtries]

17. everyone does understand it.

republicans manufacture this outrage and their cult goes along because for whatever reason, that's what they thrive on.

[Oopsie Daisy]

20. Correct. Leaving his son out-to-dry would not have stopped Trump.

[Jacson6]

21. If it was my son I would have given him a pardon, too.

I'm sure that Trump would have made the Bureau of Prisons give him diesel therapy. Trump is an evil person.

[travelingthrulife]

22. I find it so interesting that none of the gun humpers have any problem with

Hunter Biden's gun charges. This is the very thing they would go ballistic about if he were not Biden's son.

[republianmushroom]

27. Believe the in-coming president has even spoken of pardoning 'himself'. Has he not.

[Cha]

31. Most everyone Except

those that don’t seem to know what the fuck Putin’s puppets are And the ones that don’t give a Shit.
