President Biden pardoned his son Hunter and the GOP is upset. Can you believe the hypocrisy ??

On edit, a reminder:

A jury weighed two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment, and found Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges.[23][24][25][26][27] Public sentiment and media coverage of the shootings was polarized and politicized. An Economist/YouGov poll found that two-thirds of Republicans thought Rittenhouse should be acquitted while three-quarters of Democrats thought he should be convicted.[28]

1. Boo boo

2. Seriously, has there ever been a party

So loaded with cry babies. The flaws in every one of these jerks are through the roof. Just a pathetic base of people. And they spend their time making fun of snow flakes and woke and blah blah blah. Never ending flow of childish blather from these wimpy knuckle draggers and the sad part is they are attracting and creating millions in their image. Irony is the false male bravado macho bro crap that is seeping into our young men because it comes from snivelling light weights with their chests puffed out. These faux big tough republi-bros couldn't even change a tire.

People, especially men, need to start being better fast or we are doomed.

3. Yes. Aspirations for a better world for all seems to escape them.

If you honestly believe Biden is a hypocrite, ok, yet at least do so IF/WHEN you are even marginally consistent.... ethically speaking.

5. Pardon necessary due to their lack

Of integrity and willingness to follow rules and laws. They essentially force actions due to their corruption. For all we know, then would sentence hunter to death.

[Passages]

6. GOP went rogue before Trump, imo.

Rittenhouse is what they support and what they have produced.

I have no issue with Biden's pardon.

[kerouac2]

8. He would have been cover for their deeds

They will no doubt have a circus of hateful revenge actions going on daily to distract as they enact their worst plans in the background.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

40. Or, they will probably start having "labor camps" where a huge percentage of them die.

Wonder if labor camps are in project 2025….

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

26. I agree, and they never stop whining.

I have read this thread and the words "cry baby" appear often. That may be the phrase we need to lock in & use.

Like: "You won, now go govern stop being a cry baby and go make America great. You said you have all the answers, and we liberals are "bad" so - stop whining and lead. We are watching you."

Put it on them. Squarely on them, and do not get triggered by their tantrums and threats.

[kerouac2]

37. never should have taken the foot off the "weird" pedal and should have double downed

on even more, like cry babies, wimps and worse.

Can't use words like traitor, because that is in the eye of the beholder I guess - we say traitor, they say patriot. And they are a-ok with 'locker room talk' about women and way worse, so vulgarity is a non issue.

Cry babies, wimps, mamas boys - all those things that trigger the alpha male, macho bro wannabees.

4. Anyone who voted for a 34 count felon and lecturing

Democrats about justice is hilarious.

12. Some will feel as you do.

[Scrivener7]

15. The magas will. Other than that, I'm not sure anyone will mind. Which makes me go, "hmmm" about that post.

[Passages]

18. Maybe, but some honestly believe its wrong, and I can see their general point.

I would have preferred Biden not to have said anything after the conviction. He had no way of knowing who would win the election.
I wish he had just done it and said, yes...damn right I am doing this for him, he is my son. Biden clearly believes he was maltreated, just be consistent about it.

[Scrivener7]

21. Meh. Small change. And as far as those who object, I think the correct reply is, "You're kidding, right?"

[Passages]

22. To be concerned about Biden's pardon as opposed to what is coming?

It is hard to imagine. In principle, I get it. In practice, this political party produced Rittenhouse, and more importantly, they want to keep it that way.

I want to see Republicans politically pulverized for at least a generation, they have proven they are unfit but in power, and that will take a great deal of grassroots efforts to undo. I'm a fighter, I never give up.

[FSogol]

14. Cool story, Bro. Name one other person who was going to be jailed for tax reasons AFTER paying the penalties or

in trouble for having a illegal weapon without a shooting or gun crime?

[travelingthrulife]

31. The silence from the gun industry about these charges is very telling.

When you are a Democrat it is a crime.

[Scrivener7]

9. The one upside of this election is that we don't have to give a rat's ass about what any of them thinks.

We don't need to make nice, we don't need to "try to understand them." They won and we're all fucked, but all we Democrats can do about it for the moment is watch what happens.

What we can - and SHOULD do - is point at them and laugh very loudly and unanimously when they pull this kind of shit. Because, seriously, you can't make it up.

Go, Hunter!

[Passages]

16. GOP has zero credibility, zero.

January 6th POTUS, 34 felony count POTUS, found responsible for sexual abuse POTUS.


Trainwreck POTUS 2025

[Scrivener7]

19. Exactly. And the MSM normalizing all of it, and the magas acting like it's all OK.

In the past we Democrats have always tried to be conciliatory. Now, that would be our worst mistake. We need to take every opportunity to point out, "RepubliQans are too stupid to breathe, have no morals, are criminals, are completely hypocritical and can't govern for shit. And if you are one of the ones who voted for this train wreck, this is YOUR fault. Asshole."

Those who vote for these people do so because they feel inferior and trump tells them they are superior. We need to make it accepted fact that falling for that con truly makes their inferiority shine out of them like a beacon.

There's a lot of easy psychology at work here. We could manipulate it. I can't for the life of me understand why we don't.

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

29. 100% agree.

Laugh at them, tell them "stop whining, stop being a cry baby and go fix America like you said you would."

Do not let their outrage of the day go without laughing at it.

Let's point our fingers at them, and say "Look at you. Why are you whining? You're in charge, go make America great."

11. The "Pardon" card

has been misused for as long as I can remember. Why stop now. Personally, I would have done the same thing. There is such a thing as a "Get out of jail free" card in this country.

[enigmania]

13. Aside from the incessant

logical fallacies, what I hear from the right is wahh, wahh, my fee fees.

[niyad]

24. Which is almost hilarious coming from the "fuck YOUR feelings" crowd.

[Towlie]

17. I think he knew his son would have been unfairly treated as a surrogate for himself.

[niyad]

25. "WOULD have been"???

[mucholderthandirt]

20. Hunter Biden never hurt anybody, other than himself and his family for the drugs. He never killed anyone.

I'm glad he got pardoned. He deserved it more than anyone Trump or any other Republican ever pardoned.

Biden seems to be a man who tried hard, made mistakes, owned them, tried to do better. Can any of us say we're any different? I wish him the best, along will all his family. Stay safe, stay happy, let the Republicans piss themselves.

[LilElf70]

23. The other weird thing about this is

for the first time ever, it will most likely be used to pardon ones self. I'm guessing Jan 21 it will be a done deal. Just the thought of this is scary. I'm sure the framers did not expect it to be used this way. It makes our country look like corrupt fools.

[Initech]

27. The GOP gets away with so much evil shit. Let us have this one.

[surfered]

28. Hmmmm...Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner's father also come to mind.

[TNNurse]

30. The first person who criticizes this decision to me

will regret what they will hear from me. It will be long and filled with details.

[travelingthrulife]

32. Meanwhile DonJr does drugs constantly and crimes to his heart's content

[Iris]

33. Bunch of babies

[LAS14]

34. I was very relieved to read about the pardon. Hunter should not be penalized for being...

... the President's son. A pardon would be a no-brainer for anyone else in those circumstances.

[Buttoneer]

35. "Biden pardoning his son is something I might have given a sh*t about in the universe where

we didn’t elect a felon rapist." - From The Feminist News on FB

[GreenWave]

36. And the horse they rode in on!

[republianmushroom]

38. The GOP forgets this, Trump pardoned his in-law Charles Kushner.

[Passages]

39. They forget everything, literally that matters.

34 felony counts, responsible for sexual assault etc.

But why would any of that matter to a party that was already like Justice Roberts? Intellectually resigned to prop up corporate power at the expense of the citizenry. Trump is slimy-looking and crass, but underneath Robert's "civility" is a representation of the same thoroughly corrupt man selling out his countrymen.
