Enough GOP pearl clutching over legal norms and Biden’s pardon. They nominated and elected a FELON. They have no credibility on the question of respect for the rule of law.

Generally speaking two wrongs do not make a right and essentially you are saying let’s all just throw in the towel re norms and standards. And I am a life long solid Democrat
A pardon isn't wrong. 🤣🤣🤣 you do understand that he was only guilty of possessing a firearm illegally and not paying his taxes, right? You want to give up your guns and pay your taxes now? 🤣🤦🏼
Looking at all this from the outside, it is sad to see how blind people get by picking sides.
Both sides are terrible. Sure, one side may be more or less terrible than the other, but it all stinks and it is sad to see it happen to a country that the rest of the world looked up to, only 30 yrs ago
If someone looks at this and doesn't vote Dem anymore while ignoring what the other side does, then it doesn't matter. That person clearly doesn't care about the country. That means we've lost the country altogether.
The high road has cost us our democracy. Fuck the high road.
Doesn't make it easier at all. Trump planned to pardon them all anyway. He already gave plenty of questionable pardone before he left office the last tine.
Not to mention, pardons are WITHIN the rule of law. I often don't like how they are dispensed/withheld, but there's literally nothing a president can do with them that is illegal.
Amen to that thank you President Biden for pardoning Hunter.💙
If the Supreme Court can pardon all of dtumps crimes and make him a dictator then so be it. 😈🔥👿🔥🔥😡
They’re less about the ‘rule of law’ and more about the ‘rule of loopholes.’ When your moral high ground is quicksand, it’s best to stop pointing fingers.
I am also so done with the fact that all over the world progressives and democrats have to be flawless while far-rightists and neofascists get to be lawless. If they wanted to play pigeon chess, let them have a pigeon chess match
Gop wants him charged for cocaine use and possession when the HHS pick has a current blood heroine content well above the legal limit. Ask RFK what he thinks about charging Hunter. "Charge him for cocaine?! I like cocaine. Did it for a bit. Then I realized I that like heroine more."
Let’s also remember that Hunter Biden was not an elected official, he was/is a private citizen. And he didn’t rape anyone, steal documents or lead an insurrection. Good for Joe.
Dude, Hunter's crimes were only tax evations and unregistered guns, and he already answered for it. Compared to most of the GOP criminals. He'd been accused of many things that are lies by the GOP just to hurt Pres Biden. I understand the move as the criminals are still looking to hurt them.
Cmon bro🙄 In my heart I believed Biden when he said he would not pardon his son for tax evasion, fraud, the Burisma scandal. And ofc he did. Same cesspool
When Trump faces charges for federal tax fraud, we can talk about Hunter paying his fines and back taxes.
A country without law enforcement for republicans, is not a country.
Look, since the Supreme Court said whatever the president does as part of his official duties is AOK, then what's all the fuss about? Oh, that's right! The GOP are hypocrites! If THEY do it, it's All-American; if the Dems do it, they are traitors.
I think everyone should stop looking at this as he pardoned his son. I think he did what any good parent would do, especially if you see that your child is headed for great danger. In other words, he didn't pardon his son. He protected his son, and to that, I say Well done, President Biden.
They do it because our democratic pundits and journalists also constantly blame democrats for republicans’ terrible behaviors. I’ve had enough of all of them.
The incoming administration would have wasted government time and resources going over Hunter Biden's books and genitals with a fine-toothed comb. I can't say I'm happy that MAGA now has time to abuse some less-deserving sap. But this choice is justifiable solely on efficiency.
Hey, I agree. Dems chose their battles, and they chose the wrong ones to take the high road with. e.g. the supreme court and pressuring the Fed to act sooner on inflation
I'm okay with taking the low-road, just do it for low-income folks, or for the Supreme Ct, or to ask the Fed to fight inflation on time-- not for one's son.
Maybe because Biden literally feared for his son's continued survival in prison otherwise? Yeah, that's a personal reason, pretty low in politics. But at least it shows Biden, even as he gets old and senile, remains a human being and loves his son. Trump would choose a political ally over his child.
How does not taking the high road in this case help any of us? Joe Biden isn’t going to break a norm to actually do something useful, he’s just helping himself
No, he’s helping his child who had he not had the name “Biden” wouldn’t even have been prosecuted this hard. It was revenge politics and the next 4 years were going to be hell on him. Trump doles out favors to his criminal cronies. I can forgive Biden protecting his child.
That’s fair, but I still think is picking a President as dishonest and selfish as Biden is a big part of why Trump won. I agree that Hunter’s prosecution was political, but he is a pretty corrupt person.
None, not a jot, not an iota, nope nada zilch. Like can they even take *themselves* seriously when they yammer about this stuff? DJT, KUSHNER? Kash Patel? I mean puhleeeeeeez
Exactly! The party that backed a felon for president suddenly cares about “legal norms”? Spare us the faux outrage. Biden’s pardon is peanuts compared to their total disregard for the rule of law. Hypocrisy is the GOP’s most consistent policy.
I love this Joe Biden. He understands the assignment on his way out. They DGAF. So why should he? They have done way worse and don’t play fair. We need the same energy.
Trump, like Nixon said, when a president does it, it is not illegal.
To give someone a pardon for the baseless accusations and reasons that the incoming administration want to use to persecute someone, is a protective measure.
It's their double standard. They've been ramming it into us for years now. If a Democrat does anything, they yell & scream & cry that they should resign & have some decency. But Trump just keeps it up with vile indecency after atrocity, and that's all good. He's just being Trump.
We don't care. They should clutch their crotches too. 😂😂No one cares. 🤩🤩
Thank GOD President Biden pardoned Hunter!! 🧡🧡
I love it.🧡🧡 It was the right thing to do.
#PresidentBidenTheBest
For every instance of something they complain about the left doing, you can find literally dozens of instances of people on the right doing the EXACT same thing with absolutely no repercussions or any right wing politician saying a single word of complaint about it (or even actively excusing it).
I don’t call it an abuse of power. Prosecuting Hunter was an abuse of power. It only happened because Republicans wanted to hurt Joe. And I would despise Joe if he didn’t help out his beloved son.
That’s good to know. I’m not super up to speed on how it started. It doesn’t look good optically. But like, look at where we are, holy crap. But I recently learned Hunter is one of Joe’s only children still alive, so. I get it.
Do you know that Hunter’s lawyers had negotiated a deal that the court went back on when his father was elected to the Oval Office? Which of the others pardoned had a deal revoked to punish a family member? This is very different from Republican pardons!
Also, I'm pretty sure that it's not illegal for a president pardon to be issued for someone. I'm fairly certain that it's not even the first time a pardon was issued for a president's family member.
Democrats are always held to a higher standard like the gods they are. Thousands of criminals will be moving to washington next month and he's concerned about the message of Hunter's pardon. LMFAO
My two cents: President Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, is a necessary move to protect his family from the rabid MAGAts. This political maneuvering is warranted in time when the opposition is out revenge. In my opinion, P-Joe should have done it sooner. But in this case, better late than never.
Trump pardoned the elder Kushner (Ivankas father-in-law) in December 2020. He spent over a year in prison in the 2000s after pleading guilty on charges of tax evasion, illegal campaign donations, and witness tampering.
Trump also pardoned his friend Roger Stone, who was convicted of seven felonies

Are you kidding? If he pardoned his son, he damn well better publish the #EqualRightsAmendment. Half the country is going to lose 14th Amendment equal protection because 2 white men - Trump and Biden - have illegally blocked the ERA.Total BS! Join us.

Maybe not, but now democrats don’t either, which is the real problem as they try to stop corruption and authoritarianism. So maybe a big and bad deal what Biden just did.
......wouldn't it be better if we could just talk about how fukkin better if we could talk about the TREK ....it was so much more progressive and accepting of other cultures......that was kind of the point yeah?
Interesting I'm afraid the US might be the only country in the world to nominate a convicted felon as president. Guess what,Americans dumped a president who did a perfect job only to choose the convicted felon to screw up the law, US constitution, Congress and the government,economy&society! Smart!
The rule of law still exists and will continue to exist despite the corrupters. But in order to defend it, you have to live by it, whether you want to or not, whether you have the power to corrupt it youemrself or not.
But WE (Democrats) do respect the rule of law and I don't support his pardon. By your statement, you are OK with Trump's kids committing crimes over the next 4 yrs, since their dad will pardon them. Then what do we say? Yes - 100% he is a Felon and shouldn't be in our White House.

Yet the main stream media will again conveniently “forget” that trump is a convicted criminal, serial sexual assaulter & traitor because years ago they decided his numerous crimes and absurd level of stupidity were good for bu$ine$$.
They've abandoned all logic. I will never forgive them, the GOP and Trump, for making us cheer for something we probably wouldn't in normal times. They've shown nothing but disdain for the rule of law and decorum while still trying to own the narrative that the progressive movement is corrupt.
Hunter Biden would have had a plea deal, if even prosecuted, if he was some random Joe Schmo. But the Trump-appointed judge didn't want to accept the plea deal they had worked out, leading to this prosecution. It's highly unusual that they also appointed a special prosecutor to go after Hunter Biden
Spot on. Plus, after the horrible way Hunter was dragged through mud and broken glass by the Republicans, in an attempt to break the Biden family, in my estimation he'd already been more than punished.

Who sent you!!!

I do think there was political motivation in this case
If the Supreme Court can pardon all of dtumps crimes and make him a dictator then so be it. 😈🔥👿🔥🔥😡
But seeing that you are educated in law - why don't you help sending Trump to jail?
The foundation of US democracy may crumble under the elected regime.
Biden did the right thing.
He had been pushed, shoved and even tased multiple times. He was alone and exhausted.I remember guys chanting, 'Kill him with his own gun,'the hallway of hell.
They had bear mace, which is literally used for bears. They're spraying it on us human beings.

However a public display showing that neither party has true respect for the rule of law is incredibly disheartening.

Unfortunately, now we do.
If you really think about it we all are blue shirts on the USS BlueSky ship.
As for your post, so true but MAGA seem to be to dumb to realize it.
