I have no beef with people who disagree with Biden's pardon decision. Reasonable minds can differ. But many reactions can't resist the idea that this decision is why Trump will do X or Y or will give Trump permission to do X or Y. Have you really not been watching? The idea is that Democrats are ...

or that Biden's pardon "lowers the political cost" of future unethical acts by Trump
citizens + journalists are capable of assessing Trump's acts (and Biden's) on their merits
too soon to tell
will Joe Biden issues a bunch of pardons/commutations of unjust/excessive sentences (for weed, for federal death row, etc)?
He could go further
Maybe he shouldn't but he could
Dems, liberals, and the left are the only moral actors the country as left. The only ones who can feel shame or will listen.
Some folks just want to be saved.
While the demonstrable reality is anything but
For example, the Biden pardon: they’re already doing it, whitewashing recent history of T***p’s pardons, like Kushner
Tax evasion is the national pastime. This whole thing was bullshit.
‘But Biden is saying that is ok!’
To whom? Americans who put an adjudicated rapist in the WH? Will making Hunter a sacrificial lamb stop a cabinet full of sexual predators/criminals?🤷♂️
Adjudicated rapists in the Trump administration did not rape women, they defied "MeToo."
RFK Jr. has not spent the last 25 years calling for vaccines to be banned, he's just "skeptical."
I think a lot of the catharsis that some Dems are feeling(I'm one of those) is that it's a hope that the era of asymmetrical political warfare with the GOP is coming to a close.
That's what happens when you create a villain. Every action is scruitinized. Every action is seen as malicious. Not just an old man who wants to see the hate stop.
Trump - excessive unnecessary deaths from COVID est 200,000 to 250,000
5 to 10 died from J6
174 police injured. Many more civilians injured.
Hunter rapes: zero
Trump rapes: up to 21, possibly more.
Hunter Top Secret Docs in bathroom- zero
Pls stop with the outmoded political calculation-framework.
The voters have communicated: they don’t care about truth.
But yeah Biden's pardon will open the floodgates to ... something.
I think people really DID sleep thru Trump's first term. How can they not remember him thumbing his nose at rules and norms?
The Emoluments Clause was the first thing, broken on day one.
