President Joe Biden announced late Sunday that he is pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, who has faced federal prosecution for gun and tax-related charges. The move comes after multiple statements by the president along the campaign trail saying he would not do so if his son is convicted.
Biden will be remembered as the president who let Trump win - ran when he shouldn’t have, stepped down far too late, endorsed Harris immediately shutting down any attempt to find the best possible candidate. And now he’s a major hypocrite.
All his achievements in Office will be overshadowed by this election. He will be a footnote in history, which will be the Trump story.
Not to mention his unwavering support of the Palestinian genocide
To the 7 or 8 Americans who give a shit, anyway. The vast majority of the country chalks it up to “people in the middle east killing each other like they always have and always will”, and cynically consider everything that foreign or progressive people say about it to be insincere point-scoring.
That’s an irrelevant point and I’m yet to see a single reason why he should have changed his stance on it. If you didn’t vote Biden because of that issue then you are increasing Palestinian suffering.
I didn’t vote for Biden in an election where Kamala Harris was the candidate
That’s fine you just can’t say Palestine was a reason you made that decision.
God, remember all the drones saying he’d go down as “the bravest president in history” for deciding way too late to drop out of a race he shouldn’t have started?
Rest in piss Biden.
I think we’ll find there was never actually any chance it wouldn’t be Trump. People voted on their perception of the economy. All the shit we were on here wringing our hands about, no one actually gave a shit.
The lies and crimes are just seen as normal political bullshit that everyone does. Outside a couple of communities, no one cared about Palestinians. People thought inflation was bad so they voted for change. End of story.
Trump gained in every demographic. That’s not Biden’s fault. That’s us. A bitter contested convention would have only left us more divided. There wasn’t a more electable candidate waiting in wings, not when Biden dropped out and not 8 months earlier.
Wait, it was a surprise that Joe Biden was going to be old in 2024?
Nope. It didn’t matter. Wouldn’t have mattered.
My point is that the party had 4 years to find some electable candidates and I have to assume malice because what happened was absolutely predictable.
I’m convinced the candidate absolutely didn’t matter. It was a referendum on how people thought Biden did with the economy. End of story. I fucking wish it was deeper than that.
Politics fade, and will quickly be overshadowed by Trump authoritarianism. What he will be remembered for in history books will be his unconditional support for a genocide. Genocide Joe.
Hmmm, if applying the letter of the law is unfair maybe the law has some problems.
Biden can wield power on behalf of people he wants to help. So Hunter and Netanyahu.
🙈
politicians are liars
Well the fascist fucks that Republicans pushed into the Supreme Court promised they wouldn’t ban abortion but they did, so I don’t give a fuck, Biden should go ahead and pardon every single person ever convicted on non-violent federal drug offenses while he’s at it. Put a pen in his hand and let him spend 16 hour days signing petitions until that orange fuck comes back.
This is a really bad look for Biden and it gives conservatives so much ammo. But I think that they would complain and whine and support trumpinf doing worse pardons anyway so ultimately it doesn’t change anything. Hunter bidens crimes are not that bad but this action reinforces that some people are above the law.
