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.

I can hate both, I'm pretty good at it

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So what was Hunter doing in 2014?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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."

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

Given the circumstances, I'd have vastly restructured the entire government using some Official Acts

Are people still shocked by this stuff? I just expect them to do whatever they want like they all have been for years.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

I'm GLAD Biden understands the SEVERITY of the Upcoming Trump Presidency and is doing EVERYTHING he can to Protect the American People and NOT just His Family!

In the sense that a cat leaves you to die; he is crawling off to expire.

He has nothing to lose, #YOLO.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago

He protected his own, and proved we weren't a part of it.

full agreement with the message but you're gonna get clowned on by sycophants

Presidents are kings now. Scrotus said so. Blame them.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

May I ask, why does this get so downvoted?😅

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The bad .world instance has access to this instance, and they absolutely hate when you insult their God king or their preferred side of the uniparty.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not all of the downvotes are from .world, and quite a few of the upvotes are from .world. It’s best not to overgeneralize.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'd want to hear an opinion from someone who actually downvoted it, cuz I still dont exactly get what's wrong with the meme that would give it such a bad score.😅

“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.
