U can't negotiate with psychos Biden made the absolute Best move for his son & family.

lmarshallh.bsky.social•86 days ago

there you go. Facts

alberta77.bsky.social•86 days ago

Trump is tolerated: while he overtly is dismantling your democracy. And all you folks (except the wealthy) are going to pay like you've never imagined. Something very drastic needs to happen.

crazybitch24.bsky.social•87 days ago

This is just lunacy

carolinabluedot.bsky.social•86 days ago

I didn't scream. I said Good job Joe. F the magats pearl clutching and fake outrage.

captain-corona.bsky.social•86 days ago

Well he is a spoiled child but the media gives him oxygen instead of sending him to his room and ignoring him.

ginsengity.bsky.social•86 days ago

& what about Trump's promise to address the electric boat/shark problem- HE PROMISED TO FIX THAT!😂

bigskynorth.bsky.social•86 days ago

and don’t forget the toilets

ginsengity.bsky.social•86 days ago

Also Democrats sound like "BUT MOM-YOU PROMISED!" - LITTLE FUCKING CHILDREN.

nlcoombe.bsky.social•86 days ago

Furthermore,it is unprecedented what Republicans have done to a President’s son.They have gone after him relentlessly.Unethical and immoral.They had NO INTENTIONS of leaving him alone.I truly believe they would jail him.Trump would waste no time going after him.

nlcoombe.bsky.social•86 days ago

It is TOO LATE.We have destroyed Biden these FOUR years and in so doing we have destroyed ourselves.I truly don’t believe we will get out of our looming authoritarianism.

nlcoombe.bsky.social•86 days ago

Which is EXACTLY why Trump was re-elected.We screamed so much about Biden we normalized Trump.SO STFU.John Kerry mentioned that months ago!

nlcoombe.bsky.social•86 days ago

It is DISGUSTING that Biden is held to HIGHER STANDARDS!

nlcoombe.bsky.social•87 days ago

LEAVE BIDEN ALONE

nlcoombe.bsky.social•87 days ago

The screaming and overreaction only helps Trump.Going after Biden for FOUR YEARS got Trump back in office BUT no one listens.Between pundits,the right,the left.Biden has been trashed at every turn which makes the public believe Trump is the better choice!

nanx11.bsky.social•87 days ago

You are so right. It makes me crazy with anger and frustration!

chicagojcb.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yup. This. Thank you.

hexham67.bsky.social•87 days ago

Trump pardoned the traitor Mike Flynn and the mobster Roger Stone and the foreign agent Paul Manafort.

Hunter lied about his drug use on a gun application.

NOT THE SAME and WHERES THE OUTRAGE

quintusslide.bsky.social•87 days ago

When you frame it that way, it makes it sound like a race to the bottom. I'm glad Jimmy Carter didn't bring this mindset to the post-Nixon era.

hexham67.bsky.social•87 days ago

Also Nixon was a piker. He didn’t take thousands of top secret documents to Yorba Linda

hexham67.bsky.social•87 days ago

We will reach the bottom on Jan 20. Question is whether any messaging criticizing the Trump administration will find light?

For the pardon issue, the underlying crime being pardoned matters directly.
The only way to analyze it is relatively.

ledman54.bsky.social•86 days ago

Cause he is one

rita719.bsky.social•86 days ago

President George H. W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush. Maybe the difference is that he didn’t promise he wouldn’t. But it does boil down to the same thing.

chairmanbarney.bsky.social•87 days ago

Dear leader IS a spoiled child. We should rethink corporal punishment. Dotard don never got the spanking he deserved. Do what he wants or he'll hold his breath. Why do you think he's orange?

facedamuzk.bsky.social•86 days ago

Now this is more like it! Still disagree with you on the HB pardon but at least you're calling out the MSM's diversion.

smedleybutlerghost.bsky.social•87 days ago

There is still time to issue more pardons, onerous to undo EO's, all the evidence gathered in classified documents and election interference cases, any and all intelligence on Trump cartel and assiciates. DUMP IT ALL.

yvettetapptico.bsky.social•86 days ago

TRUMP PARDONS: Charles Kushner; M Flynn Russian contact; R Stone lied to Congress; P Manafort $ fraud /Russian meddling/obstruction; S Bannon fraud re border wall $; G Papadopoulos lied to FBI re Russian contacts; APirro conspiracy/tax evasion; R Blagojevich corruption re Obama's vacated Senate seat

Biden had no choice, protect his son or allow him to be possibly tortured or killed. I have a son, I had a sister addicted to drugs who cleaned up her life. I would have done the same. I would not sacrifice my child for anyone! Get over it, we were going to deal with Trump, pardon or no pardon.

2kittlespins.bsky.social•87 days ago

Listen. Get out of your formative republican headspace. No one would have put their child up like a lamb to slaughter with the incoming gaggle of vengeful hysterics.

but-i-tigress.bsky.social•87 days ago

He's not saying that...

schis.bsky.social•87 days ago

This is the main reason he was elected. The media looked the other way all year. When he gave interviews and it was obvious he has no idea about any subject, the media looked the other way. Once Biden dropped out, there was zero talk about Trumps age and advancing dementia.

ludditetechy.bsky.social•87 days ago

he's a petulant old-man-child in cognitive decline, shitting in his depends, and incapable of governing. i'm much more terrified of the hands up the puppets ass. outsourced personnel and policy to the heritage foundation. crickets from everyone... holding him to no standard at all is just sad

bradyboy12.bsky.social•86 days ago

The media doesn't hold his foot to the fire enough because he brings ratings. I also don't think Americans yet have fully realized yet how big of a threat to democracy he is, because a ton of Americans care about themselves than marganilized communities & Democracy has worked so well.

vbl1131.bsky.social•86 days ago

So stop pissing on Biden

lightboxtherapy.bsky.social•86 days ago

Biden saw the future before us.. the GOP was chomping at the bit to turn Hunter into a pinata for the Fox News Zombies.. he didn't want his son (or anyone) to go through that.. he did the right thing regardless of all the backlash.. it's clear to people who can *think* and pay attention..

gracethomson.bsky.social•86 days ago

I actually can’t believe that the mainstream media don’t go after Teflon Don. It’s all about him meeting with leaders of other Countries. There’s minimal reports on Teflon Dons picks.They attack and beat to death anything controversial President Biden does,but don’t report on any of his achievements

kulkan.bsky.social•87 days ago

Aye! The daily Sh*tShow continues. Thanks for what you do Joe Walsh.

billsugden.bsky.social•87 days ago

It did seem political.

Plus, what father would not pardon his son if he has the authority to do so?

And what husband would survive his wife’s depression if he failed to pardon the son?

billsugden.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yup

her1st.bsky.social•87 days ago

The only people who seem to believe the Hunter pardon is wrong are pundits, journalists, politicians and MAGA. The real people believe it was the only right, necessary and practical thing to do.

carolinabluedot.bsky.social•86 days ago

THIS! We are relieved he finally did it. I'm so sick of CNN and MSNBC making such a big deal over it while the Felon just gets a pass.
Good job Joe!!!

carolannete.bsky.social•87 days ago

People at the top of MAGA-world decided that Trump's amoral contempt for rules & norms isn't just something they'll overlook, but something to celebrate as an instrument of power.

kazoo2.bsky.social•87 days ago

Correction, not we. Cable media does

papawdew.bsky.social•86 days ago

You screamed, not we. Take Laurence Tribe's advice and stop with the pardon and focus on the very real stuff heading our way.

tatianacf.bsky.social•86 days ago

It’s because Trump is immoral that Biden was compelled to protect his son. There is no way that Trump and his officials would have treated him in a fair way.

trahana.bsky.social•87 days ago

And trump pardoned worst cases in his first term!

pjmaddoxrox.bsky.social•86 days ago

No screaming from me re: Biden.

schadenfreude666.bsky.social•87 days ago

We maga types love it when big daddy reams us a new one...just ask Lil Marco..ouch..may I have another Sir!

MAGA is the evolution of the Tea Party.

suenosdeuomi.bsky.social•87 days ago

We?

rasky-77.bsky.social•86 days ago

EXACTLY

beth-greatpnw.bsky.social•87 days ago

Paraphrasing: Press’ reaction to Biden pardon shows how they can spotlight, amplify. Now they need to do same for everything re Trump - nominations, transition team $, etc. And if they won’t - we need to make them!

tedsmall.bsky.social•86 days ago

This is the point. Get back to me on Biden's pardon when we start holding Trump accountable for something. Anything.

moemaltese.bsky.social•86 days ago

Trump is normalized and held to very low standards.

ralfwacker.bsky.social•86 days ago

And pretty soon the imprisoned 'boys' wil be 'proud' again, when they walk out 😕

steelphoenix78.bsky.social•87 days ago

Joe, I understand where you're coming from regarding Biden pardoning Hunter, but let's be honest: Trump has before, and will continue to, pardoned people who clearly committed criminal acts on his behalf, and Biden not pardoning Hunter wouldn't have changed that...

nlcoombe.bsky.social•87 days ago

That and the fact that most CERTAINLY will never leave Biden alone!

steelphoenix78.bsky.social•87 days ago

Besides, if you were faced with that situation, where your child was being targeted by Republicans for prosecution primarily *because* they were your child, can you honestly say you wouldn't do whatever you had to to protect your child from that?

nlcoombe.bsky.social•86 days ago

I would

bigskynorth.bsky.social•86 days ago

He only has one left. I would in a heartbeat.
