George Washington pardoned people convicted of sedition. Adams for treason. Madison & Monroe pardoned pirates. Jackson for a robbery conviction. Lincoln soldiers who deserted. FDR pardoned smugglers. Truman bribery & fraud. I guess none of them cared about the rule of law.

We’ve got to stop pearl clutching at norms that will never exist again.
Sorry, I've been bingewatching Wolf Hall
Don't for a second think The Felon wouldn't do the exact same thing.
Suddenly you care??

Any father will protect their children. Hunter has been through enough of the maga vindictive shit.
But in DJT we have another breed
Amerikkka is, and always has been, a white supremacist terrorist state, with no regard to any kind of law.
Oh, and it has slavery written into its constitution.
Truman was going to drop 12 nuclear weapons on Japan, while they were trying to surrender.
You were saying?
Stop letting their fake outrage dictate political discourse in this country. Fuck sake.
Biden's not breaking any laws.
If anything he's breaking expectations (and some might say norms).
It's time to break expectations and norms to protect the people we love before it's too late.
1. Nuance and context are important. e.g. The circumstances for Biden pardoning Hunter would be much different than Trump pardoning Jr.
2. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and after those measures, we return back to and can expect those norms.
Two very different things.
Democracy will be saved or lost on the understanding of or failure to understand the two.
or like Trump campaigning for the past two plus years on locking up democrats and freeing insurrectionist?
Just remind me because I might have to request an overseas ballot due to fleeing our country to avoid persecution. 👍🏻
If we could pump Biden with ritalin and shots of illegal testosterone, mayyyyybe...
Elections have consequences.
Republicans tried to impeach Biden & investigated Hunter based on lies. That wasn’t going to stop because they don’t care about facts.
I learned a lesson after AL Franken. We ate our own over a fcking joke. Fuck everyone who doesn't like what Biden did.
He owes us nothing! May he live a long happy life with his son by his side!!!

Add that one to your list.
father-in-law, his personal friends, and at least one major drug trafficker, then made Jared’s daddy the ambassador to France. The GOP needs to put a sock in it about this. They’ve done and will do far worse.
Allegedly.
Biden is arming a genocide.
Just call me Mr. Obvious.

They were legitimate, what else did Congress do to Trump?
There’s no way Biden should leave his son to be hunted by those idiots. 🎯🙄 #MediaMadness #FamilyFirst
What the real problem here is no single individual should have that kind of power and our laws need to change to reflect that.
I have always applauded that decision.
It is a different kind of courage, but courage it is, to leave your home for a principle knowing you can never go back
Food for thought. 🤔
The Biden administration invited an accused war criminal to speak to Congress, ignored US Leahy Laws to fund a genocide, and have been trying to discredit the validity of international law and the World Court at the Hague.
His defense is that he feared Trump would use the DOJ to punish his son excessively, to retaliate against his father. I accept that explanation.
Biden was right not to leave his only surviving child for the Nazis to have.
They handed not only him a get out of jail free card, but also all those convicted of trying to overthrow our democracy.
However, it is not hard to blame Joe Biden for making the 2024 election un-winnable for Democrats. That I do not forgive.
