Biden has always been a piece of shit. That said, he's old, his other son is dead, and his loser son got caught up in a shitstorm that had less to do with justice and everything to do with politics and optics. The country decided that it is happy to go down the a fully corrupt, inept and fascist rabbit hole, and Biden opted to save his loser son and tell everyone to go fuck themselves and go suck an mushroom shaped cock.

but

EDIT: Don't get mad at an old man for choosing to save his son. Be mad at a system that allows a man to abuse his power to protect his friends and family from consequences. For once, a proper use of "Don't hate the player, hate the game".

I'm not surprised or shocked he did it. Only saddened he refuses to do anything else

At least the chair is warm, I guess.

In this case the players make the game at least a bit.

Biden issued a blanket pardon starting in 2014. What was Hunter Biden doing in 2014 and how does this reflect on the idea of him simply passively getting "caught up" in something?

Because if he didn’t, Republicans would absolutely try to drum up some false charges to keep the party going

[–] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So what was Hunter doing in 2014?

Liberals: "Hunter deserved 80k a month for his expertise in natural gas"

This is a great and nuanced comment.

Comments like this are the reason I keep coming back to Lemmy.

Couldn’t have said this better. Memes and all. Kudos.
