Uh no, the hypocrisy is Trump being found guilty and NOT having to serve a sentence. The hypocrisy is Trump being above the law. Fuck off, I am about to unfollow.
Wrong. This turned into a political persecution with a potential degree of punishment far out of proportion to what anyone else whose case had the same set of facts would receive. With the current nominee to head the FBI having regularly gone on insane rants about “getting” HB, the pardon is fair.
FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU EVIL FUCKING CORPORATE MEDIA!!!!!!!!! I almost wish that I WAS paying for this garbage so that I would have something TO cancel on y’alls dumb fascist asses!!!! Here’s a little free
You have got to be kidding me. Have you no recollection of the last Trump administration? The only theory the right has about power is how much they can get.
Why the sane washing? Vanity Fair isn’t on the hit list
Yeah, you can cut the horse shit, VF.
Perhaps you haven't heard that America just elected a felon and liable rapist for president, who just named his daughter's convict father-in-law as ambassador to France?
But sure, dwell on this petty ante nonsense, as you continue to normalize Donald Trump.
Let's fix your bait post, President Biden pardoned his son because of Trump picks for his cabinet like Patel who will use his power to go after Biden family for no other reason other than because he'll have the power to do so
The wolf will always find an excuse to eat the sheep. Perhaps the headline should have been "Biden feared for his son's safety under a Trump DOJ and Prison system, so he pardoned him". The GOP has operationalized a cynical theory of power since Trump crossed the threshold of the whitehouse.
Another example of how non-MAGA is completely unprepared to deal with Trump and crew of rejects. It’s been ten years yet you still want to whine about norms. How many norms has the GOP ignored since Ford pardoned Tricky Dick?
No..he saw the kind of people the Felon is picking.. and quite frankly I'm glad he changed his mind because others with the same thing wouldn't be prosecuted..it was just because his last name is Biden.
No way. He HAD to pardon his son Hunter. The republicans do things that are so wrong morally and legally and ethically. You will find out what deep shit we are in come January.
You guys sound so stupid. IDGAF if he pardoned his kid especially in light of the impending weaponization of the FBI. We have a ton of problems in this country and this is what you focus on. Stupid d-bags, all of you
Trash. Deeply unserious & downright stupid take (or you’re terrified of Trump’s promised retaliation against media/journalists/editors). If you don’t have the balls for this in the current environment maybe you should sit the f*ck down & let serious folks report & interpret the news.
If HB were any US Citizen held hostage in an enemy dictatorship, a President would do whatever he could to make sure that HB wouldn’t be unjustly held, harassed or used as a bargaining chip by the enemy.
And that’s why Biden did what he did. Because that’s where we are.
And where we’re headed.
That’s an immediate unfollow. You can fck all the way off with this statement. Good on Joe Biden, considering the corruption that we’re about to go into for the next four years maybe that’s what you should be reporting on.
I should block you dipshits for your malevolent journalistic malpractice. Trump pardoned 237 of the absolute scum of the earth and you said zippo. So please allow me to say, with all due respect, GFY.
Sanctimonious hot takes from legacy magazines on Biden's pardon of his son to prevent him from being a target of the Trump administration have shortened my list of subscriptions I plan to start in the new year by a lot. None of this is correct. Biden does not impact others' attitudes or behavior.
Oh. You’re new here. Yeah, we aren’t up for your bullshit takes since you and all of your pals normalized fascism. Go back to X. And if you think we’ll come back to your clickbait think again. Indy media will take up where you wouldn’t.
A private citizen has been the target of constant attack and investigation by the Republican party for more than 4 years simply because of who his father is, including having his genitals displayed on the house floor! With expectations for continuance going forth. Clearly there was no alternative!
VF had joined the ranks of repubcrits that whine about Biden and the admin but become speechless when the incoming admin appoints felons, SA'ers, & straight up grifters.
Nope, we're done, done, DONE with this msm attempt to sound relevant by attacking the left because you're all so terrified to hold the right accountable to the degree it deserves.
💪 WE SUPPORT BIDEN 💪
Would you have preferred that Biden throw his son into that pit of maggot vipers? Do you think that would have been fair? Stop pretending the incoming administration is normal or fair.
"Sure we let the other party destroy our Social Security, women's rights, and our children's future, but we just couldn't stomach that this guy showed love for his son..."
So it’s ok if trump for ex. pardoned war criminals because war crimes don’t contradict his values? Funny - I don’t recall you proclaiming as much in 2020 as the trump pardons piled up. stfu.
🤡
WTF is this trash. Every President no matter left or right has used the pardon power. Once again you holding Biden to a completely different standard. When Trump pardons the violent J6 criminals I expect the same sort of outrage. Will we get it? I doubt it. The media has failed the country
Negative. He sees what will happen when Trump and his goons take power. How about screw what the right thinks! They have no values or moral compassion. Look at who Trump pardoned the last time.
Or, conversely, Biden has saved his son from petty political retribution by the Right. For too long, Democrats have been taking the high ground while the Republicans have gone low; assuming that, eventually, the Right would see that there is a better way. Biden has an opportunity to pardon more ppl
Right, because Democrats have to do everything by the book no matter what and the other guys can try to overthrow the government and get away with it, among other things.
By FAILING to acknowledge the threats to the Biden family, you have reinforced & empowered the danger to the public. Biden decided not to “obey in advance.” His values include protecting our national security. WHAT are YOURS?
Wow....for a minute I though this was an article from The Onion.
President Biden did not contradict his values. He protected his son like any parent would do. Moreover, the right does not have a cynical theory of power. The right is power hungry and will do anything to get it. Do better.
This is such a simplistic, ignorant take. AS IF “the right” would be swayed by Biden allowing his son to be endlessly persecuted. I’m begging journalists to do their damn jobs.
Donny and his crew have been making serious threats since before 11/5. Vanity Fair should try harder to "read the room" that is America and see that we are happy to forgive a father's hypocrisy. 🦋
C’mon. If he wasn’t a Biden, these charges would never have been brought. Biden is protecting his family from an incoming president who has vowed to weaponize the DOJ.
Maybe do a story on Trump’s dozens of pardons, and the REAL crimes those people are guilty of.
@vanityfair.com get fucked. Where was this outrage when a convicted felon, rapist and scumbag was running for president and then won due partly to your own rag sane washing his bullshit? Bowing down already is a disgusting look but I’m sure your shareholders are happy
I am getting pretty tired of seeing the same garbage opinion but from a different corporation.
Keep in mind, everyone spending their time fluffing Trump because you're afraid of the consequences of crossing him: when he dies, WE will still be here. And we are taking notes.
@vanityfair.com
Hunter was unfairly targeted specifically bc he was Biden’s son. There was a deal but the GOP wanted their pound a flesh. Those charges typically aren’t prosecuted independently from more serious charges.
Biden rectified the political twisting of the legal system.
really? has he really? a disappointment to read your article..seems to be more of opinion than understanding to the depths & lengths a parent will sacrifice for their child; including adult children, obviously...
Are we going to be saying every corrupt, bigotted, incompetent thing the trump administration does is the fault of biden pardoning his son? You are part of the problem.
You’re utterly & transparently disgusting. So the Trump regime can get away with mendacity, rape, fraud & pardon those people. Corrupt everything it touches…Biden sees this & how they would treat his child, so he pardons him, & you’d roast him alive with brimstone whilst lionizing Trump?! GTFOH!!!!!
Fuck right off Vanity Fair. We got a rapist criminal fascist+his gang of rapist criminal fascists headed to destroy our democracy and this is your take on saving Biden’s son from the Trump revenge meat grinder! Biden needs to pardon so many more: people in prison & anyone Trump will try to destroy
Wait, Biden used the power granted to him by the Constitution to protect his son from political persecutions in the future, do tell, did you just wake up from a comma since 2010, how about you sit the fuck down with this nonsense.
Let’s make this very clear we don’t give a F! His son was politically targeted. He wouldn’t have pardoned him if a non felon, adjudicated rapist, who has surrounded himself with sexual deviants & liars who have said they will go after folks for retribution! So yeah any parent would’ve pardoned!
@vanityfair.com If #PresidentBiden would not have pardon #Hunter then the #Press would have the story, “what a horrible #father wouldn’t even #pardon his own #son.”
#Shame on you #VanityFair. You lost a lot of #integrity in 2011 when #ChristopherHitchens died.

Let me know when Hunter Biden gets $2B from the Saudis.

How does Trump's boot taste?
They definitely need to STFD & STFU.!
(btw…they ‘are’ trash) 🤫 😉
sloppy journalism is a curse.
And that’s why Biden did what he did. Because that’s where we are.

Hunter Biden was charged with crimes that nobody is ever charged with alone.
I DO NOT GIVE A WET SHIT ABOUT HUNTER'S PARDON. Garland and Jack Smith murdered the rule of law with whimpering cowardice.
