The way I see it is that Republicans like they often do created an untenable predicament and then cry a feaux outrage that Democrats are the ones breaking norms when Biden was essentially boxed into a corner. Did we expect him to let his son go to jail with a Trump led justice department & FBI?
Biden was crystal clear in his pardon announcement, once again twisting the knife of Trump’s own hypocrisy and corruption by stating that he only changed his mind because Trump is bragging how he will weaponize the gov against his personal enemies.
Let Trump try to be Nixon; he’s fully incompetent.
I don't blame him. If Hunter went to jail, they'd kill him; they've done it before.
So, Hell no, I'd never let a child of mine be put in that danger, if there were anything I could do about it.
There's no doubt in my mind that some Trump appointee at the Bureau of Prisons would decide to move Hunter to solitary confinement at a Supermax, or even better, GenPop in a for-profit prison somewhere.
This statement is absurdly dishonest.Trump has never stated anything remotely like this,making it pure fabrication.Claiming Biden’s actions are an equivalent response is equally absurd.Few lies are this brazen and transparent it’s clear the goal is to mislead rather than engage in honest discussion
What the media has done in the last 4 years will never cease to amaze me. Covering Trump is never ending gift of major news stories. There is a major scandal or unbelievable quote that you could write on honestly and have a huge story. They just don’t. I can’t believe there aren’t mass resignations.
Now add below that, "Media is breaking norms."
They should have their business license revoked automatically if they tell a single lie, support a known liar or omit part of the truth that changes the context of the real truth.
I saw someone (who I actually know in real life) post that this pardon is proof that Trump was only impeached the first time to stop him from exposing the "Biden Crime Family."
Genuine question: why not just quote the original post? I could understand if the original post was made on a different platform, but this platform’s interface allows for quoting and contributing to conversation. Instead, by taking a screenshot, it feels like you are cutting off the original poster
Exactly! People in the media don't understand the concept of an antecedent. Hunter's pardon didn't occur in a vacuum! Trump appointed Patel to head the FBI. Patel has promised to go after Trump's perceived enemies. Of course Biden would protect his son under that new set of facts.
I hate how Biden has been treated! He saved us from a living nightmare! He built us back up! He has quietly & w/ a steady hand restored some normalcy. He never got an Inauguration Ball bcuz of Covid. He stepped aside. All the MSM & Dems have done is beat the guy up. 🖕them! Glad he pardoned Hunter!
F**k that noise about the Hunter Biden pardon. Y'all know that was selective prosecution and the only reason his plea deal tanked is because the GOP politicized his case.
Was the news always this way and I just trusted blindly ? I was a news junky for years until election day ,can't stand the sound of TV period, I feel bad for my faves at MSNBC , but there's other jobs for the good, or is it smoke and mirrors?Ari, Rachel,Joy,Lawrence...Leon is a terrible boss
I am not sure what they expect us to do. Just watch people who are innocent or barely did anything wrong, just get put through the wringer by Trump's corrupt cronies? And especially after he said he would free the traitors who did January 6th. That deserves way more attention.
Actually, it's more clear than that. Pres. Biden, his associates, and the media, hammered the point that he would NEVER, under any circumstances, pardon Hunter. And then he did. Once again, Biden either couldn't do what he promised, or was too weak to not do what he was told to do.
Nice mind reading, but, I'm not lying, coping, or seething. I'm not upset about Biden's decision. I'd be surprised by a different decision, before he left office. But once again, a supposedly great President is just an ordinary one.
Funny that most people don’t give a crap about Biden pardoning Hunter. 90% don’t know it happened. The political elite and the media have lost the thread again.
The people only care about what affects them and that’s fine.
Why is 🍊💩 makes like 5 😱😱😱 moves a day & the media hones in on Biden is awful. I don’t think he was lying when he said he wasn’t going to pardon Hunter. Circumstances changed. It’s obvious. James Comer, R-Ky said on Fox (saw clip) they weren’t done with Hunter.⁉️
Possible future 4 US? (🥺🙏)
MGGA and billionaires own the legacy media. The coverage TFG got was skewed positive. They beat Biden with his age but never mentioned it when Biden was replaced by a younger candidate. They sanewashed his crazy rants at his rallies. Utterly disgusting
Orange Felon continues ongoing campaign to turn American government into personal gangster fiefdom. Media continues to essentially suck thumb in confusion.
He is a meme already
The youth have moved on
It’s a distraction to real harm going on UStaxpayer funded even in our world right now
Eyes on how South Korea is handling the attempted martial law👍 activists
The scales of justice on this one has no comparisons- it's a joke. Biden who literally needs to protect his son from evil compared to Trump who gleefully is pardoning and wants to pardon the evil
There are no longer norms. America is up against an authoritarian takeover. Project 2025 is in play. McConnell & Trump are responsible for no norms. Corporate media can fuck off
Not always, but increasingly so since the Reagan administration eliminated the FairnessDoctrine, and gave Murdoch leave to start FOX-666 Propaganda Network, and unveil their news-as-a-profit-center scheme.
Congress started their own downward slide toward fascism under Nixon.
Though we also lived through the 60s, which were pretty devastating, with the Kennedy assassinations, MLK, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, etc., and nightly coverage of the Vietnam War death counts.
Better believe sycophants like K$sh P$tel will commit crimes for trump and then get pardoned. Remember, Trump is immune from any criminal prosecution according to SC.
I'm loving all of the soft, process-addicted, squishy Dems who are piling on to condemn Biden for this. These are the empty suits that cost us our democracy.
Sounds about right! lol! I love how Biden move in silence and then do his thing and then go back in silence! lol! Now Dump Trump suck up all the energy out the room at every turn like a petulant child!
Omg this! I am SICK of everyone holding up the left to these ridiculously high standards while the right slings 💩 CONSTANTLY. He did what he needed to do bc it was clearly a political witch hunt.
I don't want to be a conspiracy nut, but it's weird to me that epstien died on Trump's watch. He put Michael Cohen in solitary confinement over his book.
The one good thing about this story is for me to fully see how warped our media is. Democrats have to find a way to get their voices heard. War is on its way and the media is still using tired talking points and bobble head deliveries.
Instead of focusing on Donnie's cabinet picks like rapist hegseth and Gestapo Patel, rapist McMahon and the rest, distract his pathetic cult with HUNTER. This is all like a chess game. Keep them distracted while you move the pieces to protect the king. Keep your eye on those Instead of the pawn.
All this media outrage about hunter and the pardon is all a calculated move from Susie wiles and Musk's pr team. It's stir outrage among Donnie's cult. Kinda like the outage of Ray epps and the tan suit bs. It's all just another BS move.
I think as democrats we are going to have be very clear and simplistic in our language. Speak on a 3rd grade level dummy up our speech so the 49% of Republicans can comprehend.
The difference is that after Trump pardoned a corrupt relative, Charles Kushner, he tapped him for Ambassador to France with a government paycheck and perks.
Andrew Johnson, Abe Lincoln VP, pardoned thousands of former Confederate leaders. It's not uncommon to pardon bad people. I hear God does the same thing.
I’m sure this act, after years of everyone saying he won’t do it, just lost a whole lotta moderates, sorry, but when cnn are ripping it apart, it’s really bad
Considering the core fundamental of populism is being against a corrupt establishment
Biden had his chance to take the power that SCOTUS gave him of total immunity and use it to change the situation for good. Instead he choose to play by the old rules and put most American under the rule of a criminal and traitor.
Considering Dinesh D'Souza pardon hypocrisy; he has no room to criticize Biden's Pardon of Hunter. Especially when D'Souza's Russian associates paid Trump for the pardon.
Ironically, D'Souza now
admitted that his movie was completely 🐂😤
Trump would have made certain Hunter got some crazy 20+ year prison sentence so he could use it as leverage to extort Biden into a false confession that he rigged the 2020 election and was behind the DOJ indictments of Trump in exchange for clemency. THAT is how Trump operates, Biden had no choice.
I am so glad hunter has been pardoned ! I can’t believe that piece of shit trump had the balls to say it was illegal when he is going to pardon himself ! Omg my head hurts
And it’s about time give them a little taste of their own medicine. I would be using a presidential immunity like I’m God. I really guess that does make President Biden better than me and maybe most of us cause I think most of us would do the same he did and more

Just because.
I would still lay low for a couple years if I was Hunter.

What in the Q?
- and what is activism if not conversation about change?
BIDEN: I'll stop going high when they go low, now that it's too late to do the country any good.
The people only care about what affects them and that’s fine.
Move on.

-He breaks laws and norms.
-System is forced to react against him.
-Trump claims the system is against him.

I agree with Crockett.
I prefer leaders who demonstrate “honor and integrity,” show empathy, decency… and are truthful!
Now we’ll get to watch the “HORROR CLOWN” and his CIRCUS! How many impeachments this term? Or will it be “martial law?”

and with immunity and all...
Not to even mention a republic at stake🤷♂️ ...

An easy way to understand why the U.S. is the only adv country not having universal healthcare is to study the criminal behavior of this company.
Karma?
please, can we drop this?
it just gives more oxygen to those trolls
AMERICA DEALS WITH Right & Left differently
AKA situational ethics
"TRUMP TALK" IS ASCENDANT
Biden has to maintain the moral high ground so that people can see the difference.
Trump’s approve/disapprove will rapidly fall & people will long for the days of normalcy under a Dem Pres.
“Liberal Media” my 🍑.

Joe might have lost the next election already
Pardoned Stone Bannon and Kushner

Well, Trump is going to be even more corrupt the next 4 years.
Find another distraction.
It’s easier than you think.
Don’t feed their ratings.
Buckle up. We have a resistance to plan!
