Buauaua! Good for him! His "crimes" would have been ignored if he were a Rethuglican. Apparently, the "law & order" party is allowed any criminal activity.
Yes!!!!! Atta boy Joe stand up for what is right instead of giving in to the hypocrites on the right! If Trump can be President empty the jails of non violent criminals! What is crime anyway! You wait till Trumps term you ain’t see nothing yet!
Hunter Biden was convicted of crimes that virtually no one else is ever charged with. It was obvious harassment campaign by the GOP and a mistake by Garland. The witch hunts will continue--politicians and their families, media figures, etc. I only wish that Joe Biden flashes a middle finger...
Oh, certainly. I agree with you on every point here.
All I'm trying to say is that it's horrific optics. This is the kind of story that will legitimately push people towards Republicans, and that's the last thing that we need.
I’m glad he did that. You know they would have unfairly made an example out of him. If they’re going to pardon insurrectionists then Biden should have fair game.
Absolutely. Both the gun and tax cases were complete BS. Both were things for which average citizens are rarely prosecuted. That's been widely reported/admitted. Talk about "weaponization of government."
And rightly so. If trump or the maga morons have the audacity to say one word about this!! Well, who am I kidding. They’ll have a field day with it. But it doesn’t matter !!! You go Joe!
🏆🏆🏆🏆 👍 Trump don’t care about anybody and will never play fair or ethical. So WHY should the Democratic side continue to play fair and ethical ( for both sides)? What’s good for the goose is also good for the gander. We move on.
This a great I see no problem with it at all, totally something Trump would’ve already done (well, for Ivanka, the 1 child he likes). Dems need to learn some from the republican playbook. In fact, didn’t SCOTUS say Presidential power is absolute? Imagine what Biden could do between now and 1/20. 🇺🇸
“…In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough…” - Joe Biden - December 1, 2024
Trump never would have pardoned him. Where's the benefit for him to do so? He still thinks Hunter is guilty, he still thinks he shouldn't be pardoned. He only would have done so in order to elevate himself, not because it was the right thing to do. And it never would have been this generous.
He would have kept the pardon vague while continuing to try to prosecute Hunter for other things from the past. He would do the bare minimum while still getting to claim "But see.... 👌 I pardoned Hunter 👌"
Besides, the whole Hunter fiasco has been a major driving force of his for years. Granted he is coming into office again and will other "more important" things and people to focus on and attack, but without Hunter Biden to attack, what would Trump have?
If he was anyone other than Hunter Biden, he'd never have been prosecuted. It was a politically motivated, dirty, shameful act by the Republican powers that be. A miscarriage of justice. Pardonable.
He was prosecuted while Merrick Garland was head of the DOJ. Personally I believe all criminals should be punished whether their last name is Trump or Biden.
Mean, how tf President Joe gonna leave his son in the very unstable hands of a known russian asset, 34 count felon and convicted r^pist who's out for vengeance.
I don't like how Biden initially stated he was not going to pardon Hunter and now not being a man of his word. Personally he should work with Trump to pardon him during the next administration.
And I'm a Democrat.
You know, you're absolutely right. I'm still a new legal citizen, so there's so much I still don't fully understand. American politics is so weird and complicated. Then again, it all is.
Remember when he campaigned in 2016 “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton and then when he became president, he completely reversed and never tried to “lock her up” and has since tried to distance himself from it? Honesty, I can’t think of anyone he has used political power to try to lock up.
Name one political person that hasn’t said things during their campaign that their base wanted to hear but they didn’t follow through with after becoming taking office.. The point is he did not try to lock her up at any time as president.
To be fair, he really didn't have a choice. Trump talking about "retribution" and crap, if our democracy rules hold and he can't lock up those he's upset with, he'd probably torture hunter as he'd be one of the only opponent adjacent people he could target.
If Trump can’t even be sentenced for his convictions. Why would Biden not pardon his own son for something that is minor than what Trump was convicted of.
At least it was expected. But no, I stand for an impartial justice system, free from party politics, where political appointments of judges and ministers/presidents involved in sentencing/pardoning have no place.
I’m glad you all love pardoning people just because the prez likes them. Let’s see that energy when Drump pardons every Jan 6th insurrectionist. How about when he pardons all of his criminal buddies. Still gonna be like aw yeah fair play!!!! ? Changing views based on which party is doing it is weak
Definitely, I wonder if Biden could issue a pardon to some of the people that are on Trumps hit list, or do you actually have to be charged and convicted? Would be great if he could
I don't want to sound like a troll(well,maybe troll adjacent)but the fact that this is absolutely SENDING the Idiot Elect and his putrescent posse has completely made my prescheduled xmas day psy op war with my MAGA Uncle a definite must see.I wish I could make it Pay Per View and cash it tf in.

wow
I'm just dreading the Republican reaction.
Unfortunately, I doubt this will end the witch hunt around Hunter, either. They're out for blood.
All I'm trying to say is that it's horrific optics. This is the kind of story that will legitimately push people towards Republicans, and that's the last thing that we need.
They don't want sound arguments. They want blood.
Joe Biden. (05/31/2024)
He shouldn’t have lied about it.
But I’m sure you’ll be fair to the pardons of other administrations
Hunter is the fuel to Trump's dumpster fire.
This must really annoy the conservatives right now. Now if Hunter would sue Rudy Giuliani for defamation, I'd be even happier.
And I'm a Democrat.
Had Kamala won, I doubt Joe would have done this.
😜😜😜
Any other real miscarriages of justice 'set to rights'?
I’m so happy he did this!
Now he can be an ambassador.
