Lemme know when you find actual progressive media instead of this simp nonsense for the guy who pardoned his kid before the tens of thousands still incarcerated from the effects of the crime bill
Hey Brian! I know your focus is US politics, but Canadians would be grateful for support as we are facing our own election with a populist right wing leader.
Very interesting and informative article. We need to start immediately having conversations on a one-on-one basis as well as a media blitz (not MSM as very right leaning), but through social media before misinformation becomes commonplace like it did in the US. Can’t wait ‘till election is called.🇨🇦
Yes be diligent. I’ve been warning people for over 20 years what the cons were up to with all their media consolidation. Most don’t take the time to find out if someone is blowing smoke up their ass. You own the message whether it’s true or not you win.
Normally, I hate this word. However, "normal" went out the fuckin window on Nov 5, so, now it totally applies. On top of this bitchy statement is the fact that Biden has been a long time friend of the family, he loved John McCain and said that when he spoke at Megan's father's funeral. F U Megan
Jesus, the lack of self-awareness from these people will never cease to amaze me. Just a few seconds of thought, a mere instant of reflection is all we're asking. Too much?
And the media keeps being outraged, but hey who cares that the orange voldemort wants to pardon J6 criminals or that he pardoned kushner's dad and now even made him ambassador to France. Why be outraged about that? But whatabout the Biden. I'm disgusted
I'm convinced they're in on this grift with Trump. All the Pearl clutching on CNN and MSNBC talks of "Biden staining his legacy" while Trump finds new lows to sink to every day. No mention of Manafort, Flynn Stone, Kushner- you know, traitors who were *actively* working to sabotage America.
In all fairness, she can have her opinion of the pardon without it being in service to Trump or MAGA, particularly. It is possible to critique someone without having to embrace the extremities of the other side.
Everything does not require response. Especially, if it's ignorant and mean . Think she's not acting for tRump? Her own dad, John McCain was granted a pardon. Freed from being a POW in Viet Nam after 5 years . She is the last person to offer her opinion about pardons. RIP ✝️ JSMIII
She knows damn good and well, she wouldn’t be posting her constant drivel if her Dad were still alive. She’s quickly becoming the RFK,Jr. of her family.
You know Meghan McCain is, to put it delicately, out of her mind, right? What is she famous for except the name "McCain"? Well, she did get kicked off the View too . . .
My father my father my father my father My father my father my father my father My father my father my father my father My father my father my father my father
Her Father would be disgusted with her. There's a lot that I didn't agree with with John McCain, but I respected his integrity and love of our country.
Wasn't her father some LOSER SUCKER VETERAN that got CAPTURED? I like veterans that don't get captured. FYI, I stole that response but the person I stole it from steals all the time. He steals so much that his face turned ORANGE. My momma warned me about that.
Making fun of nepo babies. JFC the only reason ANYONE knows who that heartless bitch is because of who her father was. And SHE is not worthy of his name.
With the constant "my father my father" references, I'm wondering if she is actually Eric Trump in drag??? If not, they'd have made the perfect irrelevant and annoying couple.
Back on The View, she was on when Andrew Yang was interviewed/running for Prez. She went into some detail about her best dates with hubbie - they involved a fifth of Jack Daniels and a gun range. So yeah, not a lot of smarts in this one.
She can't be serious. No one would give this hostile, bitter woman the time of day had it not been for her father. And even with his influence, she's had a tough go of it.
If it makes you feel any better, Biden never technically promised. He just said he wouldn't. Until he saw how it played out super unfair by Republicans that don't even support gun control laws. The irony is astounding!
.
If Hunter had been a Republican then they would've said "weaponizing doj" 🙃
I get that and i agree but to state that he wouldnt is still taken to heart by the average person.
Look, im happy he pardoned him and MAGA would be outraged either way because that is how they play politics, hes either a bad father for not pardoning or he is abusing power for pardoning him.
I'm not particularly MAGA, but I did vote for Trump. I'm not outraged. Trump is going to pardon a lot of people. If I had been in Biden's position, I would have pardoned my son. The negative effect on the country is nil. I see why he did it, and ultimately have no objection.
It would have been better optics, but it's not like he's the only politician who has lied. The answer would be to constrain the pardon power more than blame the guy who legally used it. Regarding the promise not to pardon: people also do change their minds.
In partisan politics, one side always holds the other side to standards that they do not hold their own side to. Democrats do it, Republicans do it. If our parties were the Federalists and the Whigs, they would do the same thing.
Republicans rely very heavily on the fact that others actually want to be good people, so if they can make us doubt our own virtue, even just for a moment, we'll spend all of our energy trying to better ourselves rather than holding them accountable for anything.
Pretty much. We get our knickers in a twist over decorum and precedent and norms and “doing the right thing.” Meanwhile, the other side is a party of bald-faced hypocrisy and no one gives a shit.
No matter what President Biden did, does or will do the haters will hate & will critize & or threaten him/fam & the blind & deaf followers will go along even if their own self/family has been hurt or lives are in jeopardy. SAD 😔

Life sometimes presents us with difficult situations where all options seem stupid; that is why we must do our level best to avoid being too judgemental when someone else is facing the heat - its easier to be cool when someone else is in the 🔥.
Biden just acted as human.
Time tells a better story.
Exactly. Trump has nothing stopping him from going after anyone he sees as an enemy. Protecting each other is about the only thing we can do for the time being. Maybe if we get a mid term we can stop this madness.
Definitely NOT the implication of the SCOTUS ruling on Presidential Immunity. That said, it's entirely legal for Biden to pardon his son and many pardons have been given to friends, associates, and donors by presidents on both sides of the aisle. If it's a problem, reform the pardon.
Yes, it is. Nobody will remember this after the Tasmanian Devil takes over in January. The media has always treated Joe Biden unfairly and they just take it from Trump. I sat Great Job Joe. Enjoy your family during your retirement!
Cocaine addict, repeat womanizer, alleged shady dealings with a foreign country? He’s probably going to be an ambassador or cabinet member with the Trump administration. Seems to check the boxes at least.
Ah, yes, the party that doesn't understand irony. Nevmind, the J6 criminals that will be pardoned but let's fane anger over a president pardoning his son just like any good loving father would do. He knows Hunter learned his lesson, unlike the traitors that will be freed by Trump.
She's trying desperately to be relevant, in the ugliest way possible. This is an area of expertise for her, one of the greatest (the tRumpfs being an outstanding exception) nepo whiney crybabies, ever.
But, come back later on and ask me what I REALLY think of her....
They all asked for pardons from a convicted felon and someone who degraded your father. If this is really your account Megan, you need to look in the mirror and grow some empathy. Oh… wait… I forgot… you have empathy for yourself.
That’s actually quite rich from someone whose full time job seems to be talking about her father, with an occasional side hustle whining how she was a victim on The View…
The SCOTUs essentially said the POTUS is above the law.
When Meghan McCain, or any Republican start decrying what the President elect has done or will do, I’ll listen to anything they have to say about the pardon. Until then, she can get bent.
I am so tired of the hypocrisy that comes from the right? Can we just wake up from this nightmare where MAGA doesn’t exist and we can be a normal fcking country???
I have been wishing the same damn thing!!
Sick of the double standard!
Pres. Joe should just say get over it!!
Like the repugs say about school shootings!!
tRump pardoned Kushner's Dad for far worse felony convictions than Hunter's alleged gun/tax crimes
So that's who tRump gives us as an ambassador to France
A convicted felon
Government isn't a joke
MAGA are in the same sh*tty boat as the rest of us
They just don't know it yet
Pot calling the kettle black but Hunter Biden is way above the low standards of Me- again McCain and the trump spawn. I'm glad he pardoned his son and I'm sure John McCain would have never pardoned Me- again McCain.
These folks just fire whatever crosses their mind into the ether and let the engagement farm work. Its how they remain any type of relevant. Bad attention is still attention. Choke them off by not engaging.
Another reason why this is different is that these folks elected a Felon and Rapist as president, and they angry the current president pardon his son. France sent their corrupt leaders to jail, Israel did, and many other countries. Trump should have been there. I blame the AG.
Does she care to comment on 45’s family involvement in his administration despite their lack of qualifications? Or Jared’s $2 billion Saudi payment? Or Ivanka’s Chinese patents?
Oh, she was on a podcast with Katie Couric laughing that she had put her father‘s name on the ballot don’t be giving her a pass for anything she is a POS
Meghan just posts off the wall bullshit for attention. She’s smart enough to know that statement is ridiculous, but she gets attention from it. Don’t give it to her.
The hypocrisy is laughable.
I mean this seriously--Meghan doesn't seem to be a very intelligent person. It's shocking considering her background, but it seems obvious to me that something doesn't fire completely in her brain.
I came here to say this. I wanted so badly to like her, but her snark combined with her obvious lack of intelligence -- and her desire to remain relevant -- make it impossible.
She isn’t really. She does this for attention. It’s predictable. No one pays her any mind anymore unless she posts stupid stuff. Don’t give her any attention. She craves it.
Good grief… I’m guessing that Daddy McCain is twirling around in his grave right about now. Meghan is a real twit, that’s for SURE! She’s giving Marjorie Three Toes a run for her money when it comes to brains AND looks! 😖
I disliked her on "The View." I dislike her still. With all the atrocities that are taking place, as Trump assigns government jobs to miscreants, this is what she has to say.
Well Trump was found guilty and he is pardoning himself. Trump is pardoning J6ers who actually were involved in the deaths of police officers either directly or indirectly and Hunter should have been able to Plea out as a first offense. So I agree with Joe Biden!!
Yup! I feel the same. I know if I ever marry again I will not be changing my name, but for her it’s likely because she is a nepo baby and she does get a lot more attention having the last name of McCain
Bahahaha…..Right?!? I mean she’s married and still keeps her maiden name…I don’t see her changing it to Domenech anytime soon so she herself is a nepo baby.
I'm guessing she learned nothing from her father and everything from her mother. Have the heard joke about her barrel racer girls? Yeah, that's her mom.
What has she done where her last name hasn’t helped? I’m asking earnestly - I know she did The View but without her last name she didn’t do anything I know of to get that job.
That's odd. I learned two things.
In the case of the Bidens, I learned that they are imperfect but that Joe Biden loves his son unconditionally.
In the case of the McCains, I learned that the decency displayed by the father must have skipped a generation and passed right over the daughter.
They'd never say it, but Republicans respect what Biden did, including Trump who thinks people who stand on honor are "suckers and losers." Now that Repubs are in power the rule of law will be weaponized against Dems. If the country wants the norms back they should vote like it.
tbh John McCain wasn't that decent. He was a war hero, but not a particularly good father nor husband. I also remember him singing "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" hoping that the USA entered another pointless war.
Hunter didn’t commit a crime that would have gotten any of us prosecuted. He was prosecuted solely to hurt his father. Had his father not pardoned him, Trump cronies would have hounded him out of his precarious (5yr) sobriety until he k*lled himself…just to get back at his father.
She's always been a clueless twit. If not for her father's name, she'd be slinging burgers or living off her mother's wealth. She never was the brightest bulb.
Like we could expect anything different from Meghan McNepo!! Her poor dad has rolled over in his grave so many times at this point he’s probably 10ft deeper than where he started from. I still respect John McCain’s legacy but she is a fucking train-wreck!!🤮🤮🤮

She is a horrible person who has no insight, is a completely self absorbed bitch and is the biggest nepo baby of them all.
She can fuck all the way off.
Either that, or it's just some weird performance art.
She's a total nepo baby
Fuck her.
If Biden doesn’t pardon Hunter, he’s weak (and earns no points for doing “the right thing”). If he does, he’s abusing his power.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Notice how she got married and kept her last name.
Hypocrite much.
JFC can't she just go away and live her whiney b¡tchy life and leave us out if it!
Kushner
Arpaio
Hammonds -arsonists of federal government property
Even with daddies help, getting patents in China, her clothing biz folded. Karma!
The hypocrisy is laughable.
Projectodolt, Nepoblivious loudmouth. Not a single iota of self-awareness between the lot of them.
Yup
Because it is all she has.
And one trait many share is a lack of self awareness
When it comes to their being nepo babies.
It reminds me of visiting my 95 yr old great grandmother in a home and her complaining that everybody there was old.
In the case of the Bidens, I learned that they are imperfect but that Joe Biden loves his son unconditionally.
In the case of the McCains, I learned that the decency displayed by the father must have skipped a generation and passed right over the daughter.
He's just decent for a Republican.
