Magas when trump and his friends do the most horrible things imaginable VS when Biden pardons his son so that he will be protected against the extremist right wing nutters.
For sure! The “fair and equal” treatment under the law has actually never been the way of this country. We like to say it is but let’s be honest. But it went totally into the toilet the moment Mango Mussolini was installed in 2016.
Do you realy think Hunter would be treated fair by this corupt incoming administration? Give me a break, they would go after him for anything they wanted in reality or not. Trump is going to be seeking retribution against his political enemies, he has no interest in governing.
Mike Bennet and Jared Polis can go all the way and F off. Bennett went on tv this summer and demanded that Biden step down. What would they do if it were their son who was being unfairly targeted and punished all for political gain?
I'm not a fan of the Biden pardon, but I'm pretty sure that Trump not even being sentenced for his felonies is what ended ANY belief that the justice system was fair and equal for all. I mean that's if it wasn't already COMPLETELY destroyed by the SCOTUS immunity ruling.
There is a reason dems lost this election! It for sure doesn’t help matters by Biden doing this that’s for sure! Pardon all the way to 2014….. woah that’s a little much
Bennett have you not learned ? Magots don’t care for norms. Worry about how we stop crusty orange asshole and his merry lil shit heads from destroying our democracy
Senator Bennet, you're wrong on this one. Joe Biden just pardoned his son Hunter today. If Biden's son Hunter was in prison right now, Donald Trump would have make mince meat out of him. Sit down.
When SCOTUS gave him immunity and every president complete immunity that already happened. When they failed to allow him to be held accountable for any damn thing he should of been held accountable for say it with me class THAT ALREADY FUCKUNG HAPPEND!!! It's like a bizzaro world
Bennet's one of my senators and while I've usually supported his positions, he's dead wrong on this. Dems have been kicked in the nuts over and over, and our insipid reaction of "But nut-kicking is wrong!" has gained us nothing. My response to critics of this pardon is an unapologetic "Suck it!"
Regarding that "But nut-kicking is wrong" response, our general approach to that problem is wrong because, just as we keep saying, "Trickle-Down doesn't work," believing that anyone is learning from example-setting is also wrong. Democrats must abandon that practice YESTERDAY!
What personal interest does it serve??? Really. He gains no political points. It doesn’t enrich him. He saw who was going to be in charge. He heard them say they weren’t done finding anything on Hunter. He did the right thing, plus it was under the powers of his office.
I won't vote for him again. What a wishy-washy coward. The justice system is already broken. Colorado tried to keep 45 off the ticket. How'd that justice system work out? We are a blue state, but it's probably not because of Sen Bennett and our governor– they're coming out as DINOs.
Hey @bennet.senate.gov ,... When was the justice system EVER fair for Hunter Biden?
You don't like it,. fix the process! Which by the way has been broken for decades! Biden didn't just break it,.. Beyond that, shove your pearl clutching!
And repeat that every time he hears the word “pardon”. In the meantime Bennett needs to be quiet about Hunter Biden, he’s said enough to look clueless.
Anyone who has the audacity to cite the “American justice system” after the convicted felon, insurrectionist, sexual abuser, etc., got away with everything needs to shut way the f up.
No more arguing about this. Republicans count on Democrats to behave in ways they refuse to because this is how they win. Democrats that don’t get this need to step aside.
I lost faith when the insurrection and the files in the bathroom weren't enough to convict or prevent Trump from running again. No one has believed the justice system has integrity for years. MAGA politicians are never held accountable and our SCOTUS isn't legitimate anymore
Jesus - The Department of Justice failed to protect our democracy. Biden knew Trump would use the DOJ to hurt his family, regardless of their actions. He may still try. Trump is a thug. Biden was forced to protect his family from the incoming all powerful criminal enterprise. Wake up.
And Joe Walsh and Charlie Sykes and most of MSNBC and CNN. I thought I was watching Fox News and I don’t have a subscription. But it was Jake Tapper losing his shit and calling Biden a liar over and over again. Meanwhile, more reporting about Hegseth’s repulsive behaviour.
Michael’s been sleeping. Dems like him are tone-deaf and deferential to norms that no longer exist. He should have done more to stop the tyrant stupidity elected, now poised to have him swallow his childish rhetoric
Biden wasn’t lying. He is a hard line “follow the rules and norms” kind of Dem that has partly contributed to how we got so screwed. I admire him trying to set the example of being exemplary. But sometimes just take advantage of the perks. He didn’t set a dangerous criminal loose. Like Dump has.
Democrats learned absolutely nothing - NOT A FUCKING THING - from this recent defeat. Value-signaling is the order of the day. Ideological purity wins out over pragmatic governance. Bennet and the rest of his cowardly boot-licking ilk are what's brought us to the edge of disaster. Vote them all OUT.
Trump pardoned family and friends left and right. Biden pardons one person, and he's the villain. I want to see dark Brandon come out and refuse to leave office to protect democracy from an internal threat to the Constitution. The #hypocrisy is so obvious, especially when it comes to J6 people.
I was one of 505 people in Orange County who voted for him in the March 2020 California presidential primary! (He had already dropped out but after ballots were printed)
The justice system is fair and equal for all in America? We didn’t need Biden pardoning his son to know that that has never been true. Senator Bennet, if you believe this then you have no place in the senate or any other adult job.
I hope someone challenges him in his next primary. He doesn’t seem to represent the people in Colorado who elected him anymore and we’d be happy to replace him. Polis too!
Where the hell is tRumpie-poo’s sentencing? What has happened to the ongoing trials? Anyone telling me that no one is above the law gets a bitch-slap from now on. If only tRumpie-poo had kept quiet about his vengeance plans. I know…that’s beyond him. That would take a brain.
Is he unaware that a convicted felon, who just had all the cases against him dismissed because he won an election, will be inaugurated on Jan 6th? Where's his outrage about that? No, Biden's decision to pardon his son doesn't undermine our trust in the judicial system, but Trump's election win does.
Hasn’t he been paying attention?!? That’s been eroding for years and it is precisely for that reason that this father had to pardon his son. Where has HE been?
We have a convicted felon about to go to the WH and they're worried about the erosion of our faith in the justice system? Dude, that ship has long sailed
I'd like the Senator to show us ANYONE prosecuted solely for marking that one checkbox on that one form. Not as an add-on to a more serious gun crime, just that one checkbox.
Then he can come back and tell us this prosecution was equal treatment, and the pardon makes it unequal.
The justice system was wielded by the Republicans to drag a private citizen through fresh muck (how was this not double jeopardy) for political gain. This is righting a ridiculous wrong.
Mr Bennet should read the decisions of SCOTUS in the Roberts' era, then he would clearly see that we haven't lately had a "justice system (that) is fair and equal for all"
He is bending the knee to the lie that a potus can't pardon a family member and that this (and not donald's endless unpunished crimes) is why we don't have equal justice. What a fking cowardly simp.
Well crap, my senator and governor decided to open their traps. This is why we lose. Eat our own Ridiculous. If no one asked and you did this crap unprompted, I hope you have a primary challenger.
And Senate/House Democrats, you are either in this fight or not. This is not the time for hand wringing purity tests but the time to stand out against authoritarianism. You want to play by the rules, we will primary all of you!
Forget that this is Biden's son - anyone unfairly prosecuted for purely political gain, when NO ONE else is prosecuted for the exact same thing, is worthy of a pardon.
Good point. Why are people not seeing the Repubs are crooked as shit? They have Dems under a magnifying glass as they turn a blind eye to the Rs. They’re gaslighting us (even though we don’t believe a word they say) and they’re getting away with everything just like they knew they would. 😡
It is always projection with the republicans!! If they accuse, they have committed. Placing personal interests above the constitution?!?! That’s the whole Trump playbook!

What undermined my faith in the legal system was seeing the DOJ renege on Hunter’s plea deal to appease the GOP.

*And how did that work out for you, Senator?*
Instead of moralizing, he could’ve kept his mouth shut.
The persecution of Hunter Biden was about revenge, not law or justice.
...who could have been convicted by a housecat with an ipad.
FFS!
Call his office!

now he should do the pardons trump** handed out to treasonous and grifting bastards (e.g., Bannon, et al.).
I'll love you if you'll love me.
Unkind words we'll both let pass.
I'll hug your elephant.
You kiss ..............
Ever again!
