Commentators that think that Biden is creating a precedent which clears the way for Trump are..

either trying to gaslight you for future egregious acts by Trump or are completely unaware of this new state of American politics. Either way, stop consuming these people's content. Stop giving them clicks. You are contributing to the problem if you do.

Trump has already abused his pardoning powers. This isn't theory, it's reality. Hunter was being harassed, after pleading guilty even, to be used as a political football against Joe.

This works out perfectly for the legacy media, because they can criticize President Biden and pretend like they don't know anything about Trump's first term. It's beyond obscene.

BBC World is a pretty decent alternative to our pathetic domestic choices.

Including Jared's disgusting felon dad who was just appointed ambassador to France? And if Biden hadn't pardoned Hunter do they actually think Trump wasn't going to pardon the 1/6 orcs anyhow?

leaving hunter behind bars so the cameras can turn themselves off and the guards go to sleep is exactly what can happen to people who don't give trump what he wants.

at least joe isn't appointing hunter ambassador.

Those knuckleheads assaulted cops and terrorized congresspeople.

I will also ignore so called posters who even dare to criticize our POTUS choice to pardon.

Nobody!

Trump doesn't need a precedent because he would just do it. Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter just gives him something to point to, even though Trump would do it anyway.

Correct.

Like his Supreme Court, Trump doesn’t care about precedent.

He doesn’t even know what it means.
