Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, prompting strong backlash from Republicans.

GOP lawmakers criticized the move as an abuse of power and an attempt to avoid accountability, with figures like Rep. James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley calling it hypocritical and corrupt.

Biden defended the pardon, citing “selective prosecution” and claiming Hunter was unfairly targeted due to their family connection.

Hunter faced convictions for federal gun and tax charges.

    A lot of people would care. At least around 70 million at last count.

      And, for this discussion, they don’t count. They would be mad at whatever Donald told them to mad about. Even if it’s just the two minute hate.

        So you’re going to kill Donald Trump and tell 70 million people they aren’t allowed to be angry?

        Good luck.

          Never said kill all the MAGATts. I said they don’t count in the “outrage” performance.

            You said nobody would care if Trump was killed and then said his voters don’t matter. That’s a bit ridiculous.

                No they matter a lot in this regard. Like, start a civil war a lot.

                  They are going to do that regardless of a pardon happening or not. Remember, they tried it 4 years ago, in our own little Beer Hall Putsch.
