Him pardoning his son is a giant nothing burger.
Hunter was the victim of a partisan witch hunt that wanted to get him on Trumped up charges (pun intended) because of his last name.

TRUMP runs on ethnic clensing, claims he won't project 2025, wins, immediately puts authors of 2025 in every key position. Convicted of over 30 felonies, convicted rapist, says ''there will be some hardship'' while selling is economic strategies that will destroy US economy, wants to stop billions a day in trade from Mexico. Refuses to appoint anyone that can pass a background check. Decides he doesn't need to even PRETEND hell be lawful and ethical, caught on hot mic taking about disarming citizens. .
- soft to no press coverage . Biden pardons his son. .
- entire newscycle every day dedicated to the ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE this grievous crime is. Now the Presidential office is forever tainted.... . It's hard to even grasp how deeply loyal to Trump these institutions are.
100%. I'm not buying into this bull shit "be outraged about this" campaign. Trump is a felon rapist and going into the WH again after a terrible first term and he's stacking his admin with unqualified loyalists. I don't care if Hunter was pardoned and no one else should either.
Indeed, it's just the Right Wing Media giving us more "It's only wrong when Democrats do it" bullshit.
The real story shouldn't even be "Biden protects son from Partisan Witchhunt" it should be "Trump returns to White House despite the 14th Amendment saying he can't."
it should be "Trump returns to White House despite the 14th Amendment saying he can't."
I agree, if only there had been someone in charge of a government agency with the mandate to go after people like that, using a system of laws and justice, administered in some kind of court... Ideally someone the offender didn't appoint themselves, with a time period of roughly, idk, 4 years to get it done?
It totally and completely is. I mean, it's immoral and shitty, it's a rich white person getting off because of connections, but that's par for the course. It is expected. The annoying thing though, is the hypocrisy of a lot of the posters here. If Trump did something like this, they would be up in arms about how undemocratic and banana republic-like this all is. And this childish Harry Potter morality which determines how bad a thing is not by looking at the thing itself and its consequences but by looking at who's doing the thing really gets to me.
Seriously, who cares? Voting this year showed everyone no one fucking cares. If you really care about punishing those who committed crimes, go after the convicted felon that will never see a day in prison. Get over it
And there are tens of thousands of people in his exact position but didn't get pardoned because they don't have that last name.
Like, he could have blanked pardoned that particular crime in general, but I presume that would have been too much paperwork and might have been too close to actually doing something good for his people.
Find me a case of another person being charged with purchasing a gun while being addicted to a drug. Or better yet tens of thousands. You might find someone arrested for attempting to buy a gun while on drugs, but none that reviewed their past logs and tried to find out they were possibly addicted at the time of a purchase of a gun.
It was an investigation that I've never seen anywhere before. Any normal situation and a judge would have dismissed it completely as the person was not on drugs at the time of the charge, nor harmed/threatened anyone with the gun
Note: several judges stated such laws were unconstitutional during the years of the investigation, so any Republican supporting it must admit that States have the right to restrict any and all gun purchases for any and all reasons as the constitution states no such laws pertaining to addiction over lap and gun purchases... Or the law cannot support that case
Sidebar: whatever he did with taxes if it was unlawful and others do get charged with it, sure he should be charged
Presidents are kings now. Scrotus said so. Blame them.
“Hypocrisy isn’t illegal, nor is it particularly unusual in politics,” Stewart said Monday about Biden’s pardon. “It’s not like he’s ever going to run again. So why not take care of your kid, even if you said you weren’t gonna? I respect it. I don’t have a problem with it.”
Suck it whiners.
Go pass your own purity tests.
Democrats can complain, although I'm not a fan of the decision, I get it.
Republicans can go suck a giant dick. You've lost your right to complain after electing a treasonous, orange rapist.
Drug addicts get kicked in the face in jail. I guess when your dad is famous and you're not brown, the rules just don't apply.
Given the circumstances, I’d have done the same thing. Under trump’s dictatorship, I’d imagine he wouldn’t have lived long in prison- what with all those…. Open windows.
Given the circumstances, I'd have vastly restructured the entire government using some Official Acts

Is their blood blue?
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

ITT: people who wouldn't lift a finger to save their family from a corrupt incoming DoJ
If that was Biden's motivation, then where is Fauci's pardon? Or Adam "Enemy from Within" Schiff's pardon? Or what about Liz Chenney who is supposed to face treason charges according to Trump, where is her pardon? What about Jack Smith, where is his pardon? Kash Patel has an appendix in his book which is a literal enemies and prosecution list, any pardons for anyone on that list?
If Biden was concerned about the Trump justice department going after his political enemies, and Biden wanted to protect those people, there's probably 80+ pardons he should be handing out.
But instead he only issued one. For his son. So Biden is either actually concerned about overreach of the Trump justice department but he's only willing to save his son, and leave everyone else hanging. Or, Biden isn't actually that concerned with the Trump justice department and is just abusing his pardon power to protect his shithead son from the consequences of his own actions. Either way, fuck Joe Biden.
I'll entertain that argument once he's no longer president and can no longer give those other pardons.
