A convicted felon, whose kids have done far worse that anything Hunter Biden would ever dream of doing.
But the Republican Double-Standard isn’t going to perpetuate itself. We need MAGA and the media to do that.
Oh just a note, but outside the US no one considers the US president "the leader of the free world" and never has done. If he wants that title then he needs to run for that and have everyone outside the US vote on it. Today I think Volodymyr Zelenskyy would win that vote.
Zelensky? Dude who sold Ukraine to Blackrock, who sold weapons he received on the black market, who is known for his drug habit, who literally buried generations of Ukrainians, discriminated against Russian speaking citizens (although he is one of them), shut down the church etc?
That Zelensky?
LOL
If Hunter was just some random guy with these same charges I doubt Biden would have pardoned him. If Kamala had won, I don't think Biden would have pardoned him. New information so Biden pardoned his son to protect him and that's all we need to know or care about.
This! How much airtime has been given to the Hunter pardon and the affect it might have. Where is the outrage about the proposed appointments or the illegal enrichment of Trumps SIL by foreign governments? Move on to what is really destroying America.
I think we can do better with discourse. I don’t have a people. I supported the Democratic Party during this election, but for that party to be viable- we all must demand better. As a dad I understand his decision and would be hard pressed to not make the same. But just say that’s what it was.
Imagine thinking "let's scroll to the bottom of the comments to see what kind of garbage is responding to this" and finding exactly a worthless fucking piece of fucking shit like you.
We have a much larger problem breathing down our necks. President Biden's party let him down he deserves giving this pardon to his son because we owe him, without complaint
So he should be the only person in America that does jail time for it? Fascinating. You may want to look into the concept of precedent. But Trump doesn’t know big words, does he?
Also the thought of precedent commonly having any impact on sentencing decisions shows an ignorance of US law that I'd hesitate to attribute even to Trump.
When does Trump pay his back taxes and fines?
Americans need to change the conversation.
It's time to take the fight to those attacking our people and our country.
Leader of the free world??!! What's left of it!! But, he has to finish his diaper change and bottle before he does anything. He's soooo cranky if he doesn't get to watch his morning Sesame Street. Today, they're learning how to count!
America will no longer be a leader in the free world now. We're a joke to our allies. Soon to be asked to leave G7, NATO. Dollar will be devalued, crashing our economy. Then the rubes will be asking WTH happened.
It is obviously a terrible decision by Biden tho isn't it?
No matter the scale of the two things it tarnishes both his, and the US system's reputation and moral authority (more than ever).
As a Brit the whole situation is confusing because it all seems to be becoming very King-ish over there...
As a brick, if you are not living here and living through this, you obviously are not totally understanding. His son would be in danger of being thrown in prison because he bought a gun while he in drugs. Trump's own son has a gun and uses drugs. Trump has vowed revenge. Did you forget that?
Biden had to pardon his son because if he went to jail he would be persecuted by Trump and company! I just pray that Trump doesn’t try to undue the pardon out of spite!
As of July 1, 2024, with the SCOTUS ruling in The Orange Slug (TOS) v United States, we have a serial autocracy.
The fact is that the POTUS can now do absolutely anything and not face legal consequence, like what the POTROK has been attempting over the last 48 hours for example.
The 2010 SCOTUS ruling in Citizens United v FEC institutionalized the Super Citizenry Class (SCC), made up of corporations and the obscenely wealthy. TOS was elected by the SCC, & it stacked the SCOTUS with neofeudalist/fascists who rationalize that George Washington was our 1st serial King.
That rationalization is not far from the truth given the rights & protections of the Constitution only applied to wealthy white males, many of them slave owners. However, every generation of Americans have fought to expand those rights & protections to include more and more Americans.
What we have here is a concerted effort to return to the rule of the obscenely wealthy, up to & including the right of the SCC to economically enslave the populace without consequence; neofeudalism replete with a king, nobles, lords, and of course serfs (mostly serfs.)
You might as well start breaking the seals. Nothing is worth saving here. Let's get the shit show on the road so we can jump to the 1000-year reign part.
So is there going to be a hotline or something to call if raids and genocide happen? We really need a democratic militia to protect people from trumptards.
Trump pardoned Kushner so are the magats insistent on being hypocrites about every subject? They're the ones that wanted the president to be a god emperor that answers to nobody.
Convicted for what? For fraud. For swearing something is true when you know it's not. For lying. How can this man lead anything? Certain things are disqualifying. He represents many of those things.
Anyone whining about the pardon of the son of a president who was Alt Rt's target of ridiculous unprecedented accusations re a gun he owned for 2 wks & never used must take a look at the list of trump pardons, incl of his SIL's creepy criminal father who he now plans to appt as Ambassador to France.
No, you can't minimize sin just because trump wasn't caught at the time. If Trump was prosecuted like he should've been for the abuse of xanax and his 34 count felonies, this wouldn't be a conversation.
Let's agree to disagree.
Maybe it’s time to stop stoking the ego and stop calling the American President “The leader of the Free World”. No one outside of the US actually believes that shit.
Stop saying He or America are the "Leader of the free world" . He isn't, they aren't, they never were, they were just bully's with a great PR company in Hollywood.
It’s the Pharisees all over again, feigning outrage over miracles Jesus did because of when they were done and because they couldn’t take credit to prop up their power base.
At least democrats don't dictate how people live their lives. With the far right it's like, "let's get rid of all rights for anyone who isn't a straight white cis christian man because we think a stupid book says so,even tho we are pulling bullshit out of our asses"
Don't you happen to have an extra lightening bolt that's not spoken for?
We all know that motherfucker will be playing golf three or four times a week.
You know what to do, wink wink.
Amen 🙏🏼
You can’t proclaim yourself the leader of the free world because that would by definition make the “free world” a dictatorship. The entire free world did not vote for Trump. In fact, only 23% of all the people who live in America voted for him.
That’s the MAGA playbook: scream bloody murder about anything the Dems do or say & silence no matter what MAGA does.
These are not normal times & Dems need to Buck up & fight back
God, is there a way that someone like me could get the power to squish someone’s head on TV with my thumb and index finger but have it be real? Just for like 30 minutes.
As you can tell, the only God I jokingly believe in, I am very mad. I feel like Frodo not wanting to live in such times but needing to do something with the time that is given to me.
I am mad that hatred wins more than love in my lifetime.
Imagine wanting to preserve the sanctity of marriage so much that you want to repeal gay marriage, but have no problem with your choice of president getting divorced and remarried.
Imagine being pro-life but anti-maternity leave. Or being so pro-life that you want a mother or a fetus to suffer painful deaths because they have no access to medical care during miscarriages because some people use the same medication to abort a baby they can't realistically care for.
I'm honestly just so confused as to why they're so whiny crybaby about us having a social media where they're welcome to interact with each other but not us, but is we ever stepped foot on Truth Social, someone would threaten to kill us and then deport us in that order...
So brainwashed to believe that people who want to just piss in a fucking bathroom without getting killed are the enemy when you have a self-proclaimed chosen one that has literally committed more crimes than the person you're outraged about being pardoned ever has AS YOUR PRESIDENT.
I just drove past someone with a "I voted for a Felon" sticker on their truck and all I can think about his how brain washed the typical republican is. To be mad at a father for protecting his son while he has the power to, but not at a father for making sexual advances on his daughter on live TV.
As if any of them would do any different given the same circumstances. You're the president of the whole damn united states and your party is being excluded entirely from governing for 2-4 years and your child committed tax fraud and is facing double digits years in jail.
Do you:
I had to turn off the news, sick of listening them bitching about President Biden pardoning his son. Everyone should know why he did it , Trump and his gonies
It's every damn news outlet! It's all they are talking about. It's insanity, gaetz is a walking free pedophile who was in congress for years and all people care about is a gun charge and tax evasion?

No matter which side you go from.
But the Republican Double-Standard isn’t going to perpetuate itself. We need MAGA and the media to do that.
At the moment, the leader of the free world is Volodimir Zelenskyy of Ukraine. (Sorry to President Zelenskyy if I'm butchering that spelling.)
That Zelensky?
LOL
just an observation🧐
It’s your fault you didn’t have Trumps mom wipe harder afterwards
Do better.
Americans need to change the conversation.
It's time to take the fight to those attacking our people and our country.
😂
Ha! Ha! Ha!

The problem is Capitalism.
The (largely oblivious) genius of the framers of the Constitution is the expandability of rights.
Its just hypocritical politicians doing what politicians do.
You can't tout gun regulations while pardoning a family member.
"gun regulations for thee but not for me" will do wonders for the fight against gun violence.
*crickets*
POTUS: I'm giving my son a pardon
Them: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
Pun intended 🙄
Pretty sure rape is worse than fraud.
The pearl-clutching coverage of Biden pardoning his son without any context regarding our corrupt dystopia is unethical & hypocritical.
We can only trust each other. Thankfully, we have a place to gather & build community.

Let's agree to disagree.
An autocrat can’t be a leader of the “free world”
Every day we are ignoring the main problem and real danger - Trump. As we head into authoritarianism
Yeah, imagine that. Interesting how many are uncomfortable with a father protecting his son. Could this be about internalized oppression?
But then it's like a contest to see who can be the most inhuman.
There are no rules for Republicans, and nothing but rules for Democrats.
One side must be held to the strictest of standards, while the other side flings their feces at the wall.
#DemocracyIsDead
I mean, do you really think Martha Stuart would make a bad President?
We all know that motherfucker will be playing golf three or four times a week.
You know what to do, wink wink.
Amen 🙏🏼

I am mad that hatred wins more than love in my lifetime.
I am also mad that my left headlight is out.
B) Do nothing.
He doesn't care that people think he went against his word because of an interview.
He lied.
You lie.
I lie.
We all lie.
The difference is that he changed his mind about pardoning his son, not which daughter he wanted to bang.
Do you:
Fuck their feelings. Fucking snowflakes.
