Oh the horror! The incoming president raped a Jeffrey Epstein trafficked 14yr old but Hunter checked a box on a gun form suggesting he wasn’t a drug addict. The double standard continues.

klead.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yeah, well no one has had to be subjected to a President who promises retaliation.

highlyedited.bsky.social•103 days ago

Those crying about an abuse of power and also willfully ignoring just how abusive Trump intends to be with his power, and how Biden is protecting his son from that.

geektalk51.bsky.social•103 days ago

Really?

This one 👇 or maybe Trump pardoning Charles Kushner, now the likely new ambassador to France.

But okay...

What in the world does trumps actions have to do with Bidems?

Insane

geektalk51.bsky.social•102 days ago

Anyone who governs to inflict retribution on their enemies will disregard rules and precedent.

The plea deal for Hunter Biden had been set until vindictive Republicans intervened. And the GOP acts at Trump's bidding.

tazzysim.bsky.social•103 days ago

Prescident hun.

iglover.bsky.social•103 days ago

Thank you, Joe, for doing the right thing for your son.

stanwanes.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yikes, the replies. I’ve been a defender of 🦋 not being a bubble but after reading the replies to journalist tweets about the pardon I’m going to have to reconsider. Jfc, it was wrong people and you will be ok admitting it.

drdiamondjk.bsky.social•102 days ago

Was Biden supposed to leave his son in the hands of a man bent on revenge? Trump would have sent Hunter to ADX Florence if he had that power - Biden was right to do this. I'm not OK with the pardon being a political favor but leaving Hunter at the mercy of Trump is something I'm very not OK with

stanwanes.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m sorry if you are not aware but Hunter committed crimes, he in fact plead guilty to them. We have courts in this country to handle it.

drdiamondjk.bsky.social•102 days ago

Respectfully, I am aware that Hunter Biden pleaded guilty. As a father I 100% agree with Biden's decision to protect his son from a man who has no respect for the law or the courts that administer it.

tazzysim.bsky.social•102 days ago

I don’t think it was wrong at all. In fact I think Biden needs to do more of these pardons.

jtross0101.bsky.social•102 days ago

It's a good move, but did his laptop also get a pardon?

brucescott55.bsky.social•102 days ago

President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter partially mitigates the extensive joint Russia GRU/MSS-MAGA Honeytrap, $$$, ELSURT Ops & sham SC prosecutions of Putin/MAGA adversaries.

cindithla.bsky.social•102 days ago

So glad he finally came to his senses on this one

germancucumber1.bsky.social•103 days ago

Good. He did the right thing imo, tho that this might mean he sees dotard inaugurated. Which I´m still heavily in denial of, counting on the FBI/DOJ to save the world from this catastrophe.

I know I know.

shepgirl.bsky.social•103 days ago

Good.

seahorse71.bsky.social•103 days ago

Everyone coming out against this - I just don’t understand. It had to be that way because he is a target of the next administration. They would persecute him for anything and everything imaginable.

tazzysim.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yup we were looking at four more years of “but the laptop” bs

ellinnorx.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m sure this won’t stop that.

tazzysim.bsky.social•102 days ago

Probably not but it will be significantly more impotent.

jmpwe14.bsky.social•100 days ago

You people are sellouts and hypocrites. You should be ashamed but you aren’t. It is all about the money! It’s a disgrace and you all in the complicit msm helped get us here. 🤷🏻‍♀️💔💰 @cnn

jmpwe14.bsky.social•100 days ago

The msm is complicit and helped get us here! It is all about the money. @cnn 🤷🏻‍♀️💔💰

chaplina.bsky.social•102 days ago

What's wrong with you Andrew?.
Any decent person knows that's the right decision.

ljohn44.bsky.social•103 days ago

If only he had named him Ambassador to France! Nobody would make a peep.

johnthomassharp.bsky.social•102 days ago

I, personally, don’t give two flying fvcks about the Hunter Biden pardon.

Bigger news to me is how it’s news at all amidst the absurdity of every Trump cabinet announcement.

leeprescott.bsky.social•103 days ago

The Supreme Court has ruled that US presidents are above the law. Nothing President Biden does this month will compare to the absolute devastation on the horizon, which will subvert every government institution Americans have historically relied on as a guarantee for justice, equality, and freedom.

azdem.bsky.social•102 days ago

I'm so glad he did it! He HAD to protect his son, period. I would've been so pissed and disappointed if he didn't pardon Hunter!

lhbari.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good!

chilangolandia.bsky.social•103 days ago

EXCELLENT decision by President Biden!

livingwillie.bsky.social•103 days ago

LOL. The Hunter Biden pardon story is so big, I can’t wait for the new Bob Dylan movie 12-25-24. That’s a major story.

jafedorko.bsky.social•102 days ago

Politico gonna Politico. Guess they really want to be the Tass of Trump II …

ajlzarychta.bsky.social•103 days ago

In a way I understand the knee-jeek reaction of those who are yelling this is bad. In a perfect environment, w/o a pres-elect bent on revenge & distraction while using the govt to plunder @ scale, I would agree. This is removing a target from harm's way, b/c we are NOT in that perfect environment.

tazzysim.bsky.social•102 days ago

Exactly. Well said.

pixieinthed.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good.

johnnieburdette.bsky.social•103 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

candsmom.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good.

lobsternanny.bsky.social•100 days ago

How the hell do you get off writing this without the context that Trump and his mobsters have outright threatened Hunter Biden and pursued him relentlessly to attack Joe Biden by virtue of his familial relationships? Trump's coming after you, too, so it's likely now or never reporting truth.

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•103 days ago

President Biden gave Donnie and his cult and wedgie. Good. Do it again. Harder. Give hunter a medal of freedom. Maga will have a stroke. 😆 make sure hunter wears a tan suit when he gets it. And President Obama is there.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•103 days ago

Let them cry their MAGA tears

cromulentdoh.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good for him. Hunter was attacked for being a Biden and nothing more. The same people that won’t investigate any trump and won’t do anything about the Gaetz report because he’s a private citizen now had no problem showing hunters dick in open session.

kdjs-1.bsky.social•102 days ago

Seems like a dramatic overreaction

janusdaniels.bsky.social•102 days ago

You forgot the Republican SCOTUS pardon of the Republican president.

livinginoz.bsky.social•103 days ago

And? It's probably the most needed to protect his son/family from further undue investigations that are filled with made up "evidence ". I honestly think he needs to preemptive pardon a whole host of people!

registeredvoter99.bsky.social•102 days ago

Oh, boo-f’ing-hoo

scarter830.bsky.social•103 days ago

Hunter Biden was found guilty of the same thing Don jr. flaunts on a regular basis. Doing illegal drugs and owning guns.

So they can fuck off with their self-righteous indignation.

spiker.bsky.social•103 days ago

This echoes the justification that Roberts, et al. gave when giving the President broad immunity from prosecution.

jeffvic.bsky.social•103 days ago

Yes and the moment necessitates such a broad pardon, considering the threats from the incoming administration are both plentiful and legitimate…especially with the Patel nomination.

tompaine1776.bsky.social•103 days ago

How would you categorize Trump’s pardons of war criminals, fraudsters, and traitors?

Bannon, Manafort, Charles Kushner, Blackwater, Mayor of Detroit, etc etc

A different kind of “sweeping”?

fortynorth.bsky.social•102 days ago

The beauty of this pardon may be that it is presumably airtight and unassailable by politicians, appointees or sitting judiciary. Congress will finally have to legislate and not fixate on Hunter Biden for the favor of their king. In the frenzy, voters can separate the anarchists from the heroes.

fightn4rts.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good💯

bigbux.bsky.social•103 days ago

Boo fucking hoo
