My take on the Hunter Biden news is that trump has proposed creating a network of concentration camps to deal with the undocumented millions in our country

They still won't tell me what their plans are for those camps when other countries either cannot or will not accept deportees.
I wonder if they have a solution planned for that?
Don’t make the mistake those proposed camp are exclusively for the undocumented! They’re also meant for anyone opposing the destruction of the Constitution and Democracy in this country!
I mean like...RIGHT. It really should be like the top story every night or maybe a nightly pre-news announcement with the words CONCENTRATION CAMPS in bold letters.
That is utter Insanity a solution and not even a solution to a problem that doesn't exist it will destroy the American way of life our food chain Constitution along with the rid of habeas corpus really not worth it for something that isn't an issue that is not a problem.
I don’t really care anymore. Compare to the list of nutso pardons of Trump.
We go higher? I see where that’s gotten us. It’s led to us being held at the mercy of the uneducated and insane. This place is a dumpster fire. Hope these slack jawed rednecks suffer by their own votes.
How does the pardon address any of that? It doesn't. Your argument is that Trump is deporting people so it's ok for Biden to pardon his son. There's no connection between the two.
No. That’s not sarcasm. OP was going “IDGAF about a pardon when we are about to have another ‘final solution’ on our hands that nobody in the media is talking about with enough force”
Hi. Defense attorney in Texas. I ran an office of lawyers defending people caught in Abbott's "Operation Lonestar" scheme. There are absolutely already concentration camps at the border. The idea that they are going to pour federal resources into making it bigger is completely terrifying.
A lot of people don't understand the difference between LEGAL power and ACTUAL power. Presidents have an enormous amount of the former, but even more of the latter, and there is NOTHING about Trump that suggests he'll limit himself to only using the former.
Biden deported almost as many as Trump. MAGA can't deport more than 3 million a year without crashing agriculture. He can't use the military to deport due to increasing wars. Governors have to approve the national guard. He will fund the private companies who already do deportation here for camps.
Yeah, I get the outrage, but save your energy for the bigger battles to come, folks. Hunter Biden getting a pardon is small beer. I can think of a half dozen pardons that were worse, and that's before getting into the Trump years.
Your take has absolutely nothing to do with Hunter but ok. Trump will do whatever he can to persecute anyone who doesn't follow him. Patel will not be confirmed.
I get Fox News wanting to talk about the pardon but why is this CNN’s main story? Do they hope Fox viewers will tune into them, or is the head people at left leaning media actually MAGA who are just monetizing the left leaning demographic?
Whether the CNN and MSNBC owners are full maga or not I don't know, but they are maga enough to steer coverage to the right, or tell "both sides". MSNBC is up for sale along with several other Comcast properties and they could go full maga depending on who buys them.
I get that it's a joke, but you may have ADHD. Two totally separate topics at the same times jumping back and forth. Relatable! Medication can really help
Charles Kushner was released from prison after service 14 months in 2006. Trump had nothing to do with that. They are both still jackasses, but I thought I'd jump in with a small fact there.
As I have been informed, Charles Kushner was pardoned by criminal trump, however he was released in 2006.
Apologies, my mistake.
However he is still a lying hypocritical moron.
The first time Stump did this he charged the government $885.00 per person per day, it was a moneymaker. Jeff Sessions who has stock in the private prison system and Pardoned Sheriff Joe Aparto who ran the tent city prisons all had their dirty hands in it !!!
Followed by documented POC then dissenters and... anyone he chooses. So women who refuse his rapes, men who won't buy his latest grift, any political opponent etc.
I think if we keep picking Democratic leaders who are lie as blatantly as Joe Biden to help themselves and their family, we are going to have a hard time winning the elections that hopefully still happen
The House and the Senate are 'supporting Trump'as if he is already in office. They are following his commands, i.e., refusing to release the Matt Gatz report!
I've been trying to politely poke here on Blue to stay focused on bigger picture. Yes, watchdog legacy media, but also transcend their talking points/topics.
We need to raise awareness quickly that we are truly at a state of emergency and Biden needs to act. WE need to speak out.
What would drive Trump and his criminal cultists completely mad is if on the very last day, Joe Biden would pardon Trump of any crimes he has been charged with.....
Which means Trump would be automatically deemed guilty of everything he has been charged with...
My take on your take on Hunter Biden news is that when something is uncomfortable we try to deflect.
The truth is this pardon sucks and Trump will use it to his advantage.
Welcome to the Banana Republic of America, everyone !
Actually it's not clear to me if Trump bothering to distinguish between the legal ones and the undocumented ones or not. Pretty sure he also wants to get rid of the ones who don't actually have citizenship but are here legally.
The shocking and horrific TRUMP/MILLER policy of separating children from parents, and the parents sent back is 1000% a cover for child trafficking. There is huge PROFIT$ in selling children, and equally huge PROFIT$ in building and running privately owned concentration camps.
I don’t understand why my timeline has lit up with this breaking news.
Hunter isn’t a member of the government and has had zero impact on my life, except perhaps for those who considered it an issue in the election and voted to punish his dad.
The kid had an addiction problem. Is that salacious?
The ONE good thing about a Trump presidency is that before too long, his followers with their goldfish memories and attention spans will forget all about Hunter Biden, and we'll never have to hear the words "Hunter Biden" ever again.
…and those concentration camps will be built close to factories & agricultural areas where very cheap labour will be needed most. This has happened before, in Europe right?
Both things can be awful simultaneously. Just because Trump is worse doesn’t mean this doesn’t matter or somehow isn’t bad just because Trump is worse.
Hunter Biden would not be in jail without Trump’s vengeful tactics. It is different. If I were Biden, I would have pardoned him on day 1 and given the people a lesson about authoritarian tactics and standing up to injustice. Hunter was hunted to hurt Trump’s opponent. That is mafia behavior.
Regardless. Laws were broken. He should pay the price like anyone else. Matters are made worse by his father publicly stating he wouldn’t be doing what he just did. Wrong is wrong.
I voted for Biden but I’m not pledged to him. Hunter and Trump both should be punished for the crimes they committed.
Dems have been talking a knife to a gun fight for 50 years, being civilized and upholding norms to the detriment of the American people. Time to see this is war with an international state run criminal organization. Biden removed Hunter from being used as leverage.
Yeah, let's not fucking lose sight of the big picutre. Spend 5 seconds talking about Hunter's pardon, then let's continue to keep the spotlight on everything Trump and Republicans say they plan to do so we can prepare.
Concentration camps aren't (necessarily) death camps. Death camps are for industrialized murder. Concentration camps are basically prefabricated ghettos for easy policing of politically persecuted groups. To switch from concentration to death is pretty easy though.
My point is that they *aren't*. My point exactly is that "a prefabricated area where minorities and politically disfavored people are placed in order to be more efficiently policed" is a concentration camp.
“more efficiently policed” means without reference to rule of law or consideration of human rights. They are also subject to starvation rations & lack of health care. So many many people die.
True. I was making a comment about Japanese Internment Camps, a dark, racist chapter in America's past, which were also referred to as relocation camps, as well as American's general (lack of) understanding of history.
There's still a lot of death that happens in them, though. It's just from intentional neglect, like infectious diseases, inadequate medical care, exposure, etc.
Republican acquaintances sure do get pissed off when you call them concentration camps, insisting the phrase only applies to when Germans kill Jews and ignoring their prior history in Cuba, the Philippines, and South Africa. History is just a pool of facts to cherry pick from for them.
Their profit incentive will encourage lack of food, water, medical care.
It will encourage stuffing as many people in as possible.
It will encourage concealing the many deaths, perhaps even continuing to bill the government for the deceased in unmarked graves.
My take is: Don’t get upset about the other guy doing shitty stuff when our guy is doing shitty stuff. Or, be upset when anyone does shitty stuff. End of discussion.
Between mass deportations, inflationary tariffs, and exempting taxes on tips and overtime, they’ll bankrupt social security in three years. Then when Congress tries to fix it, SOCTUS will be like sorry, that’s Unconsitutional. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷♀️👩🏾⚖️👩🏽⚖️👩🏼⚖️
Yes. There is a real proclivity on our side to seek out the most ridiculous hills to congratulate ourselves on our virtue over, that we end up accomplishing nothing else
I don't care about Hunter, I care about the fact MAGA wants to get rid of food stamps & send soldiers in the streets after people
This country elected a person with 34 felonies as the next President, No one has any room to complain about Biden pardoning his son, If I was President I'd pardon my son also before I left office
are you saying i cannot be mad the head of my own party sucks and if we could have avoided nominating him four years ago, we probably could have avoided Trump again and what he’s about to do to undocumented millions, among many others
FUCKING THANK YOU! Who gives a single shit about Hunter getting a pardon while actual tyrannical authoritarianism rears it's head and the president takes NO such decisive actions to protect the American PEOPLE? I don't. Fuck off with platitudes for millionaires, frfr.
Thanks for posting this. People need to focus on the big picture! I'm glad Hunter got a pardon, but as you clearly stated, we have bigger issues to address!
So who will they get to harvest the crops? State prison inmates, right?
...And those camps for the migrants will be privatized.
So, it's in the financial interest of the corporations involved to minimize care, and pack as many in as possible.
There won't just be the undocumented in those camps.
Something happened between Nov 6 and Nov 7 to drive up the cost of shares in this company that owns private prisons and detention centers. I wonder what that was?
I’ve been saying for years that Republicans would bring back slavery if they could pretend that it was something different, and since the current prison labor system was directly based on slavery, we all should have seen this one coming.
If only the media elite cared half as much about that but then again they cared little when a million people were killed by government inept action. So here we are. I hope they end up in the camps after the immigrants

He actively campaigned on it.
I think the point is that there are much bigger things to be clutching pearls about.
Yet we are focus on Hunter. SMH 🤦

Don't need to analyze it to death!
Could Biden use his pardon power to legalize the undocumented immigrants? Yes, I realize the next admin will simply ignore that, but... Hmmm
Cc @kenwhite.bsky.social
Bummer.
He is a lying hypocritical moron.
Apologies, my mistake.
However he is still a lying hypocritical moron.
I'm.... gonna.. borrow it if... you don't mind.
And is targeting the ACA for elimination...
And is going to steal everything that isn't nailed down...

If a Trump pardon comes, let Trump do it.
The truth is this pardon sucks and Trump will use it to his advantage.
Welcome to the Banana Republic of America, everyone !
It happened under him once. It can happen again big style.
Hunter isn’t a member of the government and has had zero impact on my life, except perhaps for those who considered it an issue in the election and voted to punish his dad.

Solves the problem with concentration camps right there
I voted for Biden but I’m not pledged to him. Hunter and Trump both should be punished for the crimes they committed.
1. He had clearly stated he will pardon all those from J6
2. Nothing would stop Trump pardoning anyone and he certainly wouldn’t seek approval or an excuse from anyone.
"Okay, let's call them internment camps. Better? Relocation centers?"
It will encourage stuffing as many people in as possible.
It will encourage concealing the many deaths, perhaps even continuing to bill the government for the deceased in unmarked graves.

pardon power is quasi-royal residue
Biden protected his son
end of story
I don't care about Hunter, I care about the fact MAGA wants to get rid of food stamps & send soldiers in the streets after people
The man has promised a violent ethnic cleansing. If we get out of this catastrophe without mass graves it's the good ending.
Right, he won’t but he could.
He's going after everyone.
...And those camps for the migrants will be privatized.
So, it's in the financial interest of the corporations involved to minimize care, and pack as many in as possible.
There won't just be the undocumented in those camps.
