We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

Ideological hypocrisy only provides the opposition with legitimacy when they hyperbolize.
We can say its a scummy politician thing to do while recognizing that the other side has no ground to stand on for complaints at the same time. Biden is not a good guy, never has been.
The pardon isn’t acceptable just because Trump did worse. The pardon is (more than) acceptable bc it corrects an injustice. And that would seem to be one of the best reasons for a pardon to be granted.
I thought the Manafot, Bannon, Stone, Flynn, etc.. pardons were a disgusting corruption of justice but I am disappointed in the Biden pardon because I thought he was better than that

on MSmbc and all I could think of was get him off the air, send him to fox. There is no equivalent. Not even close. There is no giving them ammunition, they are coming after us no matter.
Yes but it’s never “win win” He has to win and someone must lose for his satisfaction. HOW is he The POTUS. I’ve seen Baboons and Hyenas that conduct themselves with more dignity. And he”s petty, vindictive, talks shite, looks ridiculous and has those tiny creepy hands and a mouth like a cats arse.
I am. When do we release the 200,000 Americans in federal prison for having a bag of WEED? Never - because it's a big fucking club and we AIN'T in it. Hunter Biden and Steve Bannon are, though. Must. Be. Nice.
Bingo. Being fans of the powerful and bickering over their pardoned criminal sons, daughters, friends and relatives is just giving up on democracy completely. An odd stance for a journalist with Mother Jones to take.
This is why I fucking hate these center-left democratic party sycophants. Any amount of evil can be excused as long as its slightly less evil then what republicans did or might hypothetically do
Hunter belongs in jail, the fact he got pardoned before Assange or Snowden or a thousand others is absurd
You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. Prosecutors all over the country have stated that crime would never have been prosecuted in his last name was not Biden.
Bullshit. Hunters “crime” never results in jail time. And the doj had a plea deal that did not include prison but the republicans pressured them to back out.
Hunter was sentenced to jail for 1. A tax crime that is never prosecuted (everyone gets one chance to pay it back the first time the IRS points out a discrepiancy, as he did) 2. A gun law that even Republicans say is unconstitutional and that he is the first person to ever be charged with
Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's father (family), Roger Stone (close friend), Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Stephen K. Bannon, Elliot Broidy, Paul Erickson, and George Papadopoulos, all real criminals (many involved in election interference, conspiracy, fraud).
Trump generously pardoned his former campaign manager Paul Manafort. Here's a picture of Manafort's home. The poor guy has to park some of his cars on the basketball court. In Trumpland, the weed of crime does not necessarily bear bitter fruit!

A lot more people are going to need pardons. Especially the officer who justifiably shot the Ashley Babbit when she intentionally endangered our Senators. This officer performed his duty to the utmost and will undoubtedly be targeted by the DipShits taking over the Justice Department.
My understanding is he could have pardoned himself for the Federal Jack Smith cases which were closed without prejudice, but the NY conviction stands and he cannot pardon himself. He’s a convicted felon today, tomorrow and forever.
There was a deal on the table. Each party agreed. Then the judge felt political pressure and scuttled it. THAT is the reason he should be pardoned. Even Trey Gowdey said the judgement was excessive.
Don't forget about Kushner (father) and son (with the $2 Billion hedge fund investment) and daughter (with copyrights and trademarks in China) ... and the list goes on...
Go, Joe! If Justice were blind, most of us would know of Hunter Biden only as the troubled son of a politician, of which there are plenty. The usual outcome for his offences would be a plea deal, upon proof of the defendant's efforts to maintain sobriety, resulting in reduced charges or dismissal.
Let’s not get sidetracked into defending Hunter Biden’s pardon. It’s worth noting that the very group that prides itself on gun rights went after him on a gun charge, simply because they couldn't pin anything else on him. It’s a classic case of hypocrisy that they just can’t seem to recognize!

Yep. I complained about all of them. Funny how everyone is just glancing over this fact: Now with this pardon… Both parties, who built the Justice system, regard it as broken and can seek “fairness through pardons” for their own friends and family. This is NOT a win. It’s an acknowledgement.
I’m wondering what new investigations will come from the republican controlled House and Senate. Not that they can do anything but because they consider it a winning idea. Maybe they might be able to subpoena him so many times he misses one and they refer it to doj?
Right. Because there is no moral high ground. Dems do it because GOP does it and GOP does it because dems do it. The hypocrisy is absolutely ridiculous.
And, don't forget Trump's family member, Charles Kushner, who was convicted of more serious crimes.
Trump pardoned him and nominated him for the position of the United States Ambassador in France!
He did something that the people on the Right crying over the pardon would say is a "right" not a "crime" if it were anyone other than Bidens son who did it
"Shall not be infringed" would be the ONLY thing they'd be saying
He paid them in the end. And grifting off the family name, while repugnant, ain’t illegal. (Also, not what he was charged with, so why’d ya bring it up??)
It's not new. It's more than 8 years old at this point. H.B. committed a crime, yes. It's a crime many others have committed and get away with year after year. When they pay their penance, come talk to me.
Glad @JoeBiden pardoned his last surviving son.
Americans are sick of paying for bogus @GOPOversight
investigations using Chinese spies as witnesses like Gal Luft who went to jail after he admitted he lied about Hunter and President Biden.
Now Hunter should sue @FoxNews
You can bet those on the Right will be blanketing the airwaves all day tomorrow, crying about the unfairness of letting Hunter off the hook. It'll be a Republican zoo.
And the Eddie Gallagher pardon, and all the Iran-Conta pardons, and all the Watergate pardons including, most egregious of all, the Ricard Nixon pardon.

"As of January 2022, no offenders sentenced solely for simple possession of marijuana remained in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons."

I think it’s wise for him to remove his son from a system where Trump will be in charge given their obsession with him.

OK. Done complaining. More pressing concerns to move on to.

Fuck 'em. This indictment was glaringly politically motivated. Jim Jordan and that hillbilly from Kentucky can run it straight up their asses.
I'm sure turmp will try to bring new charges with his henchman AG. Turmp is surely slinging condiments ATM.
Betting France blocks US felons from entering
Mark Wahlberg needed a pardon for assault charges in MA to be able to get a liquor license for his restaurant in CA. (He didn't get it, FWIW.)
“No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear
Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination”
I'm pretty sure I could add at least 10 others here.
Kushner's father, for a start.
You spend too long around tribal politics animals.
I absolutely complained about all of them - and the W Bush pardons, and the Clinton pardons.
Pardons need to go. Sheesh 🙄
They are not the same!
Trump pardoned him and nominated him for the position of the United States Ambassador in France!
Compared to the shit those people did; Hunter stole a pack of gum from a convince store.
He did something that the people on the Right crying over the pardon would say is a "right" not a "crime" if it were anyone other than Bidens son who did it
"Shall not be infringed" would be the ONLY thing they'd be saying
