The Republican pearl clutching about Biden pardoning Hunter is so ridiculous. They keep whining about him not facing punishment for crimes he committed. They didn’t cry once about Trump, who also isn’t facing punishment for crimes he committed.

And Trump’s crimes are wayyyyyy worse. I don’t see Hunter Biden as a threat to humanity. He made a human error. Trump damn sure is a threat to all and belongs in prison. 🤬
A human error doesn't land you 3 felonies. You're only saying that to justify hunter. If that happened to any Republican, you'd say they deserve jail time
Having a troll place nude photos of Hunter Biden in the Congressional record is a form of punishment. Having long ago errors of judgment make nationwide news nonstiop for weeks on end is another form of punishment. I don't hink saying Hunter was not punished is fully accurate.
Meanwhile, there was no Republican pearl clutching when Trump released 5000 Taliban prisoners, one of whom is the current leader of the terrorist organization
They are all over on x right now arguing over if trump is really a convicted felon or not. These folks really don’t care they just handcuffed themselves to a criminal and criminal enterprise he is nominating.
It makes me so angry considering we have a felon heading to the White House! Trump isn’t bring held accountable at ALL!!!! So extremely frustrating !!!
Let them pound rocks. They believe that the president is all powerful with absolute immunity. Pardoning Hunter was nothing. That's the regular, non-SCOTUSified power of the president.
Well, because a plea deal was already in place. It was only rescinded due to public outcry. It was a first offense(obtaining the gun) and rarely to they get a trial. Most do get plea deals. Some just have the charges dropped completely, especially when the gun wasn’t used.
Critical thinking is imperative if you want things to make any sort of sense. It isn’t difficult but you have to have a strong desire to know what is true (what actually took place) and what is not true.
Trump should have been in prison for tax evasion, bank and insurance fraud, and money laundering for Russians, just for starters, well before 2015 and never been able to run for president. Our systems failed us.
"felonies are felonies as long as they disagree with me. Other wise they shouldn't be felonies". Also quick question. Is overestimating the price of your property, and having the bank agreed with your estimate "fraud"? Y'know... Cause y'all tried that
Never said he was innocent and he did enter a plea of guilty. The difference is these are not things that should result in jail. Your next President however should be in jail for his numerous crimes of which he denies.
Chumpy pardoned several undeserving individuals when he was in office last time. Manafort, Bannon, Flynn, Kushner SR, Papadopoulos, Stone to name a few. The hypocrisy is continuously amazing! Chumpy does what he pleases and is NEVER held accountable, basically his election win was his pardon too.
It's all about destroying democracy.
I'd Pardon my son because we know TFG will Pardon every j6 participant. You know he's going to do it on day one.
Biden might aswell do it now to steal tfg wind.
I agree with you completely. I hope Biden chooses to do more within his ability…I know he has a moral compass and I’m hoping it leans toward patriotism…but that’s just my thoughts
I want to see them show the same outrage over all of the pardoned convicted felons that The MangoMooncalf has presented for cabinet, ambassador, and advisor positions!
The problem with this line of reasoning is that the Republicans don’t admit that he committed the crimes he was convicted of. Or that one man’s “trumped up witch hunt” is another man’s experience as Jean Valjean.
No empathy, and no awareness of what they lack. There’s a word for that.
What about all the real criminals Trump pardoned last time? How many dirtbags did he let go? Oh and how many pay their way out of jail with his pardons?
Jared and Ivanka pocketed well over $5.6 B using the whouse and republiocns got no problem with that. How many more decades will this republicon crime spree last? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Global warming won.
I have ZERO guilt over supporting Hunter's pardon. He was persecuted and prosecuted by malicious politicians who only did it to get to Joe. 100% warranted 👏
Keep in mind, there will be no limit to the pardons coming for the J6 offenders. But of course, we will be reminded that these nice folks were peaceful attendees to an attempted coup.
Trump's crimes are serious, if the people publically say they are not happy about President Biden going back on his word to Pardon his son.
I add the Maga Republicans broke the rules by buying the Supreme Court which went against the Constitution to grant Trump immunity he had no right to.
It is never about a sense of fairness at all. Instead, it's about who can keep the upper hand with unchecked power and exploitation. Fighting fair,challenging fair, Speaking fair ;only leaves openings in our democracy. I hope those who are elected officials will remember this fact.
Let's Not forget to mention the 34 Felonious Counts he (trump) was found guilty of. He was & is the only Pres. Impeached twice. He's an adjudicated Rapist & Lier in cheat...I mean Chief. The oompa-loompa man-child needs constant supervision.
Has anyone counted the crimes that trump and his appointees have committed versus those of the Biden administration? Doesn't seem Biden appointed one person with a felony in his four years of office.Yet #34 has appointed felons, sexual assaulters, fraudsters in just about every position. Dangerous!
I don't know why lib/prog commenters keep minding and picking at this scab. Of course The Trump/GOP/Fox will try to make hay here. Ferget it. Doesn't matter. Ignore them!
There is no need to explain it. This has been their play for years. We follow the rules, and they use that to get us to shame our own. No, to win, we need to throw out the rule book and use our own laws to our advantage. Are we smarter? We should start acting like it.
Is it me, or are all of the people he is appointing/choosing/whatever he’s doing, just a bunch of crimes waiting to happen? And they all know it. All of them. I can’t with these people.
Next, Joe Biden should resign the presidency and make Kamala Harris the 47th President, thereby making all of Trumps made in China 47 gear obsolete and useless, and putting a 200% tariff on new 48th president wear.
If the DEMs were going to kick Pres. Biden to the curb, the time to do it was a year prior to the election so Kamala Harris would have been the incumbent with a year's experience...NOT 4 months prior to the election. Probably one of the worst political blunders I seen in my lifetime.
Y'all were whining over Trump's fraud case,saying he should be in jail for "mis estimating the price of his property" for a loan. Y'all just hypocrites
Hunter has suffered enough at the hands of the right wing who attacked Biden and his family daily! Enough! If that criminal Kushner Sr. can be made an ambassador, Hunter can and should be pardoned!!!!
Yes!!!!🙌 I’m so glad he did it! I’ve been saying he should when it all began! Hunter isn’t a threat! Now orange dump is a different story! He’s getting ready to us all through the wringers! lol! Laughing to keep from crying! Smdh! What a shit show America has become!
I know. I am here for whatever Biden wants to do these next 5 weeks. We’ve suffered enough at the hands of these cretins….. and these ridiculous cabin picks!! . Biden needs to make their heads explode!
My son called and asked me about NYE plans and my heart broke... I can't even fathom Jan 20th approaching let alone celebrate NYE but I'm going to for him... 😢
I hear you. This has been a horrible 4 weeks. Don’t even feel like talking to anyone or socializing. I hope this passes cuz it’s unhealthy and he’s not worth my health!
Sure would be nice if he pardoned some other people tho, and ngl I'm gonna be pretty pissed if he doesn't. His son isn't the only one who deserves a pardon. The Dems used to be for the people, what happened?
If he does, he does! But I’m glad he got his son out of the crosshairs of the up and coming Dump administration! So this pardon hits different because of just that!
They can go kick rocks. They put President Biden and his family through living hell for no reason other than to humiliate President Biden. Screw The Lawbreaking Anti American Scumbag GOP.
People need to know the IRS would not have jailed this man because he paid his debt to them and the matter was done until... As for the gun, I can't say what will happen to that but I think the wise will know this was a cry for help. Not a crime. I hope the people finally see it that way.
I would rather eat lead paint with a glass of bleach before I give a rats ass on who, what, how any MAGA boot licking DJT voter has to say about 💩! So should you! You know how to get rid of a troll? All fairytales say don’t feed them! They eventually turn back into stone!
I would say that having his whole life laid bare in public was punishment. Easy for people that have never experienced the devastation of addiction to clutch pearls. By the grace of god go I as the old saying goes.
It’s all a head fake to make the press focus on this nothing burger story especially compared to the criminals that tRump pardoned on his way out, and who he is about to pardon, and focus on the unqualified trash he’s trying to nominate.
Do you need a list of all the people Trump pardoned? His son in law’s father oh and sooo many others. And if Eric needed pardoning. He would in a heartbeat
tRump plans to appoint Ivanka’s FIL, whom he pardoned, as France’s ambassador. Hunter lied on a form, Kushner set up and filmed his BIL with a prostitute and sent it to his sister to try to prevent him from testifying. I’m surprised they haven’t taken to the streets with pitchforks over this.

However the orange menace doesn't like it when headlines aren't about him so expect something obscenely outrageous in the next 24hrs.
Please 🥺
Own hunter
And move the bleep on
Signed
America 😒
If Hunter wasn’t Joe’s son, he never would’ve been prosecuted in the first place.
🟠 has pardoned dangerous and violent criminals.
How do you guys compartmentalize the hypocrisy?

Trump probably will anyway.

Damn I'm a profit.
Or how many SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO GET INTEL BRIEFS asked for a pardon themselves!!!
And btw, Trump just nominated one of those pardoned felons to an Ambassadorship!
So the Republicans can STHU!
No empathy, and no awareness of what they lack. There’s a word for that.
Let MAGAts whine. It's all they do anyway.
Are these people that fucking stupid?!? 🤦
And when TFG parsons the J6 idiots, I'm sure they won't be screaming then.
#HunterBidenPardon

This is why we can’t have nice things!
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
George Orwell. 1984.
Here's why I don't care if they're mad he was pardoned. Trump promised to pardon these traitorous scumbags.

If the VP and Prez sadly die/resign at the same time, then yes, Speaker is prez and he will appoint a new VP while Congress replaces him. Here's a good link on it. Interesting. https://www.lbjlibrary.org/life-and-legacy/lbjs-administration/presidential-succession
Maybe a certain book of secrets if he is a very good boy!

Time to figure out what we can do now that they are distracted.
Bannon
Kushner
