President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.
You're viewing a single thread.
The prior president pardoned a family member who was blackmailing and raping people, then appointed the same criminal to be ambassador to France. I don't give a fuck what President Biden does now. We're a country of criminals and oligarchs now.
Always have been.
… it’s a big club and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club…
I love when people use Trump as a litmus test for good behavior and how openly hypocrisy is displayed like a badge of honor.
Go ahead and ride your high horse on that moral high road, just don't trip over all the corpses.
Go ahead and wear your hypocrisy like a badge of honor.
yeah well you go and simmer your hypocrisy on a medium heat until it toasts up golden brown
More word salad please.
"I have no principles"
"This guy keeps punching me in the face but I think punching is morally wrong so I'll just let him break my nose."
This is exactly what they say about you too justify what they're doing.
It's amazing how quickly all the pride in our founding, American values, principles, etc are just discarded the moment one team loses an election.
This is exactly what they say about you too
Bro they spent 5 years talking about adrenochrome and "demonrats" space lasers I'd be surprised if they could pronounce my name. I don't need to do anything to trigger them, so why even dance around?
You cometely missed my point. You're using the same shitty logic they are. "Both sides" are doing the same thing.
Principles don't win in America anymore. We just proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt a month ago.
So now it's just "your dictator" vs. "their dictator" eh?
Nah. I just want the party that has a history of voting in favor of working class Americans and being better for our economy to do what they need to do to get elected in America. Which is lie, cheat, and steal.
This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read.
Probably because you haven't read very much.
Which part specifically though?
The FACT that Democrats have a voting history proving they regularly vote in favor of the working class? The FACT that Democrats are historically better for our economy and the data to prove that exists? Or the brand new FACT that to win an election in the United States you have to lie, cheat, and steal?
The part where you think a party willing to cheat and lie will hold to liberal democracy ideals.
Does it matter? They can't do anything, good or bad, if they lose. Can't win without lying, cheating, and stealing in America. Voters just made that very apparent.
Yes it matters. "Winning" isn't the only goal. The process and system are important. You don't just discard democracy because you don't like the result of a vote. You do the hard work of fighting for the next vote. Progress comes with setbacks.
