Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it seems, from the outside, making and open plea, without an agreement, our boy Hunter is taking one for the team, in drawing a line under accepting responsibility for his criminal actions, while Orange Hitler does everything in his power to avoid fault in any of his multitude of crimes.
Also, I'd love to see Joe say, fuck it, and pull a West Wing Bartlett, and pardon him in the last minute of his last day in office. I would pay very good money for this.
Exactly something trump supporters would say...
If Biden feels the laws are unfair now that his son is effected, maybe he should have taken drug decriminalization seriously
Biden can do it, but present it differently. He could say that "Yes, this is an abuse of power, but I have every right to do this under the Constitution, and nobody can do anything about it. If you don't like it, pass an amendment to limit presidential powers. No one should be above the law."
Yet Biden made campaign promises and then "looked into" if they could be done till well after we lost the seats to do anything.
He wouldn't act to help tens of millions of Americans, but his crack addict son playing with firearms is a good enough reason?
I just don't see any actual logic in what you're saying.
If he wanted to prove that point, there was a shit ton of opportunities over the last four years that would have gone a long way in making sure trump won't win this election
