President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden - Lemmy.World

Who gives a shit? Republicans made a felon president. Nothing fucking matters anymore.

It’s not that people are mad he’s doing it, we’re mad he’s not doing more meaningful thing that will help people not named Biden or help a foreign country commit a genocide.

What gets me tho is his supporters applauding this.

Even when he spent months promising not to do this because of the sanctity of justice system…

I know I could tell he was lying. But his supporters swore up and down Biden wouldn’t lie, and now they’re supporting it.

Do you honestly not understand why 1/3 of the country treats both parties as out of touch liars who don’t care for 99.99% of Americans?

Like, if “nothing matters” why isn’t Biden doing more? Why isn’t he even appointing all the empty judges seats before Trump can?

Why is the only things he can do on his way out the door arming a genocidal far right religious state for their genocide and pardoning his own son?

Even when he spent months promising not to do this because of the sanctity of justice system…

He probably wasn’t lying. Hunter was convicted for purely political reasons. The crimes he was convicted of are rarely enforced and almost never result in jail time against first offenders. The President assumed that his son would be treated fairly like any other first time offender. He believed in the sanctity of the justice system but has now been forced to revise that opinion because it’s perfectly clear that he was wrong.

The charges in Hunter Biden's indictment are rarely brought, legal experts say

This is the same line trump supporters use when defending his convictions, and it probably is true for both. If your in politics you and your family are, and should be, under more legal scrutiny then an average person. That’s the price of power.

Your family should not be under more scrutiny than anybody else and they should not be a target of your political enemies.
