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.

Couldn’t have said this better. Memes and all. Kudos.

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.

[–] prof_wafflez 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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] 13 points 1 month 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.

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

ITT: people who wouldn't lift a finger to save their family from a corrupt incoming DoJ

He has nothing to lose, #YOLO.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

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

To quote a friend of mine, "Joe Biden is the used car salesman his daddy always wanted to be."

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

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!

“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.

He could literally order Trump shot in the street as presidents now have blanket immunity.

[–] FooBarrington 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, he couldn't. Remember that the SC did not list the "official acts" that would be covered under immunity, so the SC is the arbiter in any specific case.

A republican president however could, that's out of the question.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He could still do it just for funsies.

[–] KillerTofu 7 points 1 month ago

Just one, as a treat.

[–] disguy_ovahea 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Let’s say he did.

Which outcome would you rather see- Joe go to jail for murder, or his act setting precedent for future Presidents?

Neither outcome seems desirable.
