I love this idea that Biden pardoning Hunter will somehow ‘justify’ or ‘excuse’ Trump pardoning the Jan 6th prisoners, ignoring the fact that:
1. Trump had promised to pardon them long before Biden did this.
2. There is nothing comparable between Hunter’s crimes & their crimes.

practically, problematic, and very risky
He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law who was cooperating with authorities, to intimidate him by sending video footage to his wife (his sister).
SO
Reminder Trump promised one very violent day, police immunity, Hegseth wishes to weaponize the military domestically—don't get caught surprised~
We will either have to start burning it all down or accept that we are subjects to the ruling class.

I do not consent to neo-fascism.

stop playing by the old rules.
Period.
It shouldn’t be a pardon through nepotism.
Biden fathered Hunter, and now pardons him.
Trump gave birth to the January 6 rioters, and will pardon them.

What’s he going to do, pardon more people that he’s already announced he’ll pardon?
Even worse, Democrats are overlooking it merely out of hatred for Trump, but Trump being awful doesn't make Hunter good.
That's the mistake Democrats made with both Biden and Kamala. Just because Trump is bad does not mean we get to overlook every bad thing Biden and Kamala do. That just makes us no different from Trump supporters.
Yet, the President-elect and the many cronies and sycophants that form his coterie are world heavyweight champion liars… and they refuse to call that out.
Brains on armbands everywhere.
I am too old for the violent rhetoric… but, lies should be recognized and challenged - regardless of their origination.
Washington lies. Local pols lie. Partners lie. Lovers lie.
Truth cannot be selective.
And yet our politicians, even some Dems, can't bow down far enough
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Also...Hunter PAID his tax debt back WITH INTEREST!
It was just evil MAGAt/Redpublikkkan harassment to get at Biden thru his son!!
Joe ENDED the BS!!!
Biden knew he was a one term President and he reversed that decision.
He was not able to run again.
He has been a Good Man his whole life, but he should not have put himself into this position so late in his life.
But he makes Hitler look like a prophet.
Prosecution and incarceration for offenses that are typically ignored and only prosecuted because of the defendant’s relatives/public persona.
Make it make sense.
No one's opinion fundamentally changed.
What would be really wild is if he pardoned all migrants in the country illegally.
Not sure how/if that’s possible but good luck with your mass deportations then
Don’t do something that’ll piss off the bigots or their shitbird instinct for destruction will kick in.
Better not do the popular thing that will help people, or the cavemen will flip tf out.

But I must say I understand Biden pardoning Hunter a lot more than Trump pardoning his daughter's father-in-law.
And I still don't think any of those pardons were the right thing to do.
I see it as a fault in the system that they are able to do crap like that.
Where I live we have about 5 political parties with 10-35% of the votes, pluss a bunch small ones.
On all issues, big or small, they have to work together to get majority.
I honestly believe USA need more political parties to share the power.
Democrats need to learn that the rules no longer matter.
I'll wait.
Trump will always find ways to justify his actions regardless how deplorable they are.
And he will do all he can to undo and undermine all biden's accomplishments
A. Post-conviction conduct, character, and reputation.
C. Acceptance of responsibility, remorse, and atonement.
Let’s see if all the J6 convicts pass through that.
1. Trump pardons J6 and other deplorables and Biden pardons Hunter.
2. Trump pardons J6 and other deplorables and Biden doesn't pardon Hunter.
There was no option 3. Biden doesn't pardon Hunter and Trump doesn't pardon J6 and other deplorables.

You, above ALL, should know...
That convicted felon pardoned his son-in-law’s father and appointed him Ambassador to France. If you support that, I don’t want to hear jack-shit about Biden pardoning his son.
Not a good one mind you, but still lol.
@potus
The President's pardon of his son meets these criteria.
Again Trump set the president for family pardons.
Joe Biden does the same just to a way closer relative which makes it a lot more understandable to me.
But I still don't think it's right.
He should never have said, I won’t be involved, he just looks stupid. I don’t plan to be involved, unless there are indications that bias is in play.
Trump didn’t need an invitation to give pardons

Donald is an adjudicated rapist who has picked a mob of felons & alleged sexual assaulters & Project 2025 authors to be in his cabinet. Focus!
Trump could give a shit. He broke the rules and norms and d’s are still playing by the rules to ‘save democracy’
It’s not going to work…
IT IS ALL GASLIGHTING from MAGA.
Trumpists crying about Biden pardoning his son are morons & hypocrites.
Hunter had the gun for a week and didn't commit any crimes with it. The law is clearly unconstitutional according to the current SCOTUS.
But the right needs to create a "both sides" argument in order to excuse their actual crimes.
