Agreed.

kcmurph.bsky.social•157 days ago

Biden should pardon a lot of other people - everyone Trump has threatened with jail over the last several years.
Take away his kindling and maybe Trump can't burn it all down.

wvclc.bsky.social•157 days ago

And everyone knows it. Biden needs to give pocket pardons to all those people Donold has targeted as his personal enemies…they will only use it if they are unfairly targeted.

ljbird.bsky.social•156 days ago

I'm for anything Joe can do to raise 45s blood pressure. Fighting him will be the fastest way to get him to stroke out and I hope for that everyday

benita-bizarre.bsky.social•157 days ago

Yep https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1234712

hodgson1776.bsky.social•156 days ago

Thank you! It’s astonishing that many in the media are looking at this pardon completely independent from Trump and the GOP’s outrageous and beyond the pale prosecution and persecution of Hunter Biden.

optimist-press.bsky.social•156 days ago

I really just wish people would shut the fuck up about Joe and Hunter Biden. It's such trivial bullshit compared to what's on our plate.

beckron99.bsky.social•157 days ago

Exactly, the Repugs can move on to torturing someone else. Hunter has had enough.

jmax7.bsky.social•157 days ago

Biden should pre-emptily pardon all Trump/Musk/Patel targets.

shaleehan.bsky.social•157 days ago

Preemptively. Agree—

jmax7.bsky.social•157 days ago

Forgot to proof-read. LOL.

jhfield.bsky.social•157 days ago

Hunter was already being overprosecuted by his Trump appointed special prosecutor. Aside from being humiliated in the house when he doesn’t even hold office. It was all a ridiculous political act that would not have happened if Hunter had been an ordinary citizen. Glad he was pardoned.

jag1950.bsky.social•157 days ago

And Trump’s own progeny have committed plenty of un-indicted shenanigans.

jwhallin.bsky.social•157 days ago

Guaranteed! It was the right thing to do!

profbarbour.bsky.social•157 days ago

Yes. Exactly this.

iamstevemahoney.bsky.social•157 days ago

The pardon was good. I have an issue with Biden stating he would never do it

annidoula.bsky.social•156 days ago

Exactly. And he would have ramped up until it completely broke Hunter and those who love him

calmlypanicking.bsky.social•157 days ago

He was absolutely right - this was a hit job to hurt Hunter and Joe and was politically driven. Don Jr is surely guilty of everything Hunter was accused of, and then some.

jbellsatx.bsky.social•157 days ago

Apparently Tom Nichols is good with hunter spending the rest of his life getting screwed over this

oskarrubato.bsky.social•157 days ago

in prison someone would epstein Hunter after the torture

mks231951.bsky.social•157 days ago

A wise observation

janerabbit.bsky.social•157 days ago

could you explain "the no jail plea that fell apart would’ve been a no-brainer for anyone else"? Do you mean that plea shouldn't have fallen apart? Or do you mean of course it should have fallen apart like it would have for anyone else? (or something else?)

elanc.bsky.social•157 days ago

Biden should pick up the list of people who are targeted by the Trump regime (they’re not keeping it secret) and pardon every one of them, even if they’re not suspected of anything.

ed-tekhead.bsky.social•157 days ago

I totally agree, Norm... Considering the shenanigans of the Trumps and MAGAts. No way Hunter should be treated differently. It's justice for all, or for none in these matters.

hopefortheworld24.bsky.social•157 days ago

Totally agree. Just hope in the future chaos to come, this would hold.

keys88.bsky.social•157 days ago

Exactly.

desertyeti.bsky.social•157 days ago

Great way to put it. My feelings exactly.

silvermeow.bsky.social•156 days ago

He has been tortured enough. What MTG did to him was so cruel & and so disgusting. How on earth does a person live with themselves for doing something like that? Has she ever known anybody with a terrible addiction? Heartless 💔💔💔

chairmanbarney.bsky.social•157 days ago

Revenge is all they want. Hate is their motivator.

janice-r.bsky.social•157 days ago

Good!

austin-native.bsky.social•157 days ago

And the pardon is THE ONLY THING tRump understands!!
Merry Christmas to all the Biden family and enjoy the rest of your life, Hunter Biden! You deserve it after all the shit the MAGAts heaped on you! 💙🫂🎁🎀🎉🎄🎆🎇✨🫂💙

pinkfloydmuse.bsky.social•157 days ago

Trump finds ways to torture everyone one way or another.

k-lo18.bsky.social•157 days ago

Given all the loathsome creatures Trump has pardoned, I'm cool.

londonandme.bsky.social•157 days ago

I think he would have been made an example of by the next administration if he hadn’t been pardoned. Or worse yet, Trump would have put him through the wringer and in the 11th hour offered a pardon to be a swell guy. 🤮

mmarc1.bsky.social•157 days ago

Me too! I'm over the🌙 now. So happy for them both.

gymjordan.kids•157 days ago

katog617.bsky.social•157 days ago

ancla16.bsky.social•157 days ago

The reality of your statement is just so damn scary.

sharonsf.bsky.social•157 days ago

So happy 💙🫶🏻

pbenfield.bsky.social•156 days ago

Hunter doesn't deserve the wrath that was inevitable. Biden had to pardon him.

resistingseafarer.bsky.social•157 days ago

I agree.

sandiegogirl1.bsky.social•157 days ago

Happy to hear this💙

deadlinedemocracy.bsky.social•157 days ago

Yes.

thiafin.bsky.social•156 days ago

Yep.

themysterymachine.bsky.social•156 days ago

Yup. Trump has and will cut a swath through this country like he was given a blank check to burn us to the ground. He has committed crimes in front of all of us, and meanwhile his followers are like "OH LOOK OVER THERE, Hunter's laptop!" Naw. Biden went full Dark Brandon and I hope he isn't done.

sloth-n-cheetah.bsky.social•156 days ago

We need Dark Brandon to aggressively wield the Immune Kingship granted him by the corrupt SCROTUS. So much good could be accomplished in the next six weeks.

themysterymachine.bsky.social•156 days ago

amen! channel that crochety grandpa energy, Biden! we know you got it in you!

donahuesurfer.bsky.social•156 days ago

Plus it will make Large Marge's head explode.

rkhaz.bsky.social•157 days ago

Yes!!! Fighting fire with fire and not powder puffs - Let’s hope that Dems see that we can be Baddass and do the right thing - that should be our motto for the next 4 years - The Badass Tour

joyousdisaster.bsky.social•157 days ago

Amen

grandmon.bsky.social•157 days ago

snarky-op.bsky.social•157 days ago

Absolutely.

empathee.bsky.social•157 days ago

Time to pardon Leonard Peltier

sloth-n-cheetah.bsky.social•156 days ago

Exactly. For someone who’s always crying about witch-hunts (that are actually valid and result in indictments and convictions) the Manchurian mango has been weirdly obsessed with Hunter. Leave the poor man alone, he’s a private citizen who has been thru enough.

lucyblue60.bsky.social•156 days ago

President Biden did the right thing by pardoning Hunter. That was a small victory considering the Orange Felon should be in jail. Bravo Dark Brandon! Now pardon the other people that'll be targeted by the incoming circus.

mktsutherland.bsky.social•157 days ago

So agree, he deserved to protect his son.

bzendry.bsky.social•157 days ago

christina007.bsky.social•157 days ago

I respect him even more for doing that.

junebug082.bsky.social•157 days ago

Biden was right to pardon his son. If a decent person had been elected, Biden may have chosen to allow the process to take its course. With Trump, justice was never going to happen for Hunter.

espiegler.bsky.social•157 days ago

So glad.

alexis8.bsky.social•157 days ago

Correct!

jeanette73.bsky.social•157 days ago

He might very well have died or disappeared in the federal prison system

femsocphd.bsky.social•157 days ago

Great to see you here as well, Norm!

Can we say Grok brain drain?!

susan-schwaiger.bsky.social•156 days ago

Yeah. I think it was a big fuck you to Trump and I am OK with that. I just wish Biden had fired Garland 3 plus years ago and done a real serious fuck you to Trump by letting him be prosecuted for committing crimes.

bulldog1mom.bsky.social•157 days ago

Trump would have subjected him to more ridicule. I'm happy he pardoned him also.

gopjesus.bsky.social•157 days ago

maybelline2.bsky.social•156 days ago

Exactly

lesleyjaneseymour.bsky.social•157 days ago

Exactly. He was their plaything to torture. Good for Joe

lorirway.bsky.social•156 days ago

And this is why.

christina007.bsky.social•157 days ago

That's great news!

williamafranklin.bsky.social•157 days ago

MAGA made a spectacle out of Hunter to smear Joe. It was purely tactical to keep the Biden family in a negative news cycle.

Joe corrected a wrong.

Trump has pardoned very real criminals and is about to release every January 6th rioter that was convicted.

Dems aren’t in the wrong. The GOP is.

themysterymachine.bsky.social•156 days ago

Complete and total agreement!

kittycrazykat.bsky.social•157 days ago

🍊💩 would have killed him.

toedancer.bsky.social•157 days ago

A little torture is what Hunter needed. He's a POS, no idea some people are surprised the Biden Crime Family is any different than any other wealthy crime family. Rules for thee, not for me. That's how it really works.

cannonball29.bsky.social•157 days ago

Exactly

jbonbluesky.bsky.social•156 days ago

Or, more likely IMO, since Joe Biden is no longer a threat, Trump would have no reason to keep prosecuting Hunter Biden. It was never more than a transparent ploy to keep the Biden name and a crime in the news cycle.

Now that Trump is back in power, he will concentrate on self-enrichment again.

marywwalters.bsky.social•157 days ago

Among other things, Biden's pardoning of Hunter is his acknowledgement that the U.S. justice system is screwed.

lorymar.bsky.social•157 days ago

Me too. The entire prosecution must have been heartbreaking for them.

callic.bsky.social•157 days ago

It will just cement the trumpers conspiracy theory of the "Biden Crime Family", but you know what? I just don't care.
I'm so over their nonsense at this point, Biden should just do what he wants to do and to hell with their faux apoplexy.

chrisfunch.bsky.social•156 days ago

Do we evaluate politicians by their promises and actions, or by their party affiliation alone? Critical reflection of Bidens actions are essential if we want a political culture based on integrity rather than following with our blind loyalty.

Biden has only confirmed that "elites" are above the law

bf29867.bsky.social•156 days ago

The American people have decided that norms no longer matter. This is the world we live in now.

chrisfunch.bsky.social•156 days ago

Unfortunately, it seems that way. Norms used to be the guardrails of integrity, but now loyalty to a "team" often outweighs accountability. If we don't hold everyone to the same standard, can we expect anything to change? Have we just normalized Trump World by not scrutinizing Biden's decision? Yes

chrisfunch.bsky.social•156 days ago

Do we over look accountability in our own party and scrutinize the other for the same actions? Did we forget how Joe Biden treated Anita Hill at Clarence Thomas's supreme Court Justice confirmation hearing?

Did we forget that Joe implied he was going to be a one-term president? Look at the result.

chrisfunch.bsky.social•156 days ago

Unfortunately MAGA already did that. However Biden did say that he would respect the jury’s decision in Hunter's federal gun trial and would not use his presidential power to intervene in that decision. He obviously did.

There was a time when Americans did not trust politicians. What's changed?

newsforachange.bsky.social•157 days ago

How many others deserve (and probably need) a pardon for those same reasons?

brillie9nh.bsky.social•157 days ago

I'm glad he did
