    I had a brother who was an accessory to a crime at 17 and went to prison for three years at 18, and that experience makes me viscerally angry that Hunter Biden is going to skate just because he’s a member of the lucky sperm club. This is bullshit.

    Israel is violating the ceasefire mean while Bidens drumming up controversy to drown it out. What a pussy.

    He could have abused his power like this to fix the justice system. Forgive student loans, Codify abortion. And all those other unfulfilled promises.

    Instead Biden has fully destroyed the illusion of Democrat commitment to “justice” only to bail out a coke addict.

    Both sides anyone?

    Even if you think that HB was or will be unfairly treated, look at the size of the ethical door that was just opened. Of all of the “norms” that could have been broken, this is the one?

      “Sir will you legalize mariuana and pardon all those black people who have suffered unfair trails”?

      “Sir will you close the asylum detention camps pardon all those Mexicans people who have suffered unfair trails”?

    Of course. We went from “Trump can totally pardon himself” to this and somehow this is going to make bigger headlines with the “law and order” Republicans.

      I bet more than half of us didn’t want him to go to jail for something that no one else would have gone to jail for if they weren’t a political pawn.

        You don’t think people go to prison for gun crimes and tax evasion?

            Sure, but it was also the minimum they could convict him with in hopes to stop the investigations before they implicated the president and the rest of the family. He was the sacrificial lamb.

            It’ll be interesting to see if Congress calls him back to testify next year, since presumably he has no 5th amendment rights to claim to prevent testifying. And if he lies, his pardon won’t cover that or other future crimes.

      This is such small potatoes corruption compared to what we’ve already seen from Trump. And it’s going to look like specks of dirt with what’s coming up.

        No matter what Trump does, for me the stain of Genocide Joe will never be whitewashed.

          Fair, but you can’t go around plugging your ears, closing your eyes and going “lalala” anytime someone brings up the insane amount of bullshit trump has already gotten away with, let alone anytime in the future when there’s new shit to add to the pile.

    Seems like they are dropping the idea they are not corrupt as the other team. Can only hope that the new idea that would go after the common worker can hold the mask on for a few decades.

      Why should he? It’s already been made clear there is no law for the ruling class. Mind your place pleb.
