@GottaLaff

I'm confused. Why is this a good thing?

I'm absolutely exhausted with well connected people being immune from the law.

I also mean those who didn't deserve pardons from Trump, Trump himself being able to attempt a coup and get away with it, etc.

Am I the only one who actually mean't "no one should be above the law"?

@plasma4045 I recommend you read @emptywheel.bsky.social on this https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/12/01/joe-biden-prepares-to-pardon-his-son/ for the whole story but mostly it was because Hunter should not have been charged in the first place. Marcy has written about this extensively so you can click the “Hunter Biden” hyperlink to see why this is good.
