inclementimmigrantPresident Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
Ep1cFac3pa1mWho 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 President assumed that his son would be treated fairly like any other first time offender.
You’re aware Biden is in charge of the DOJ right?
So he’s admitting his DOJ was fucked up and acting in bad faith…
But rather than at any point since he realized that, he’s choosing to only save his son and still not do any actual justice reform?
A regular person saving their son, ok. We get it
The literal one person to save millions of sons?
He’d save his own son in the process too.
Like, you realize there’s a shit ton of open judicial seats Biden is about to let trump seat as soon as he comes into office right?
Are you implying Biden appointed such shit people to lead the DOJ that he now trusts Trump’s judgement more?
Like I said:
Like, if “nothing matters” why isn’t Biden doing more? Why isn’t he even appointing all the empty judges seats before Trump can?
But if be really surprised if anyone actually explains why Biden not even appointing 30 judges is ok, let alone why the Senate not confirming 42 is bad.
Biden isn’t in charge of the DOJ…
Biden is in charge of the person in charge of the DoJ.
In charge of him in what way?
The Attorney General leads the DoJ and is a member of the president’s cabinet. The DoJ is also part of the executive branch. While it is “bad form” for the president to order the AG to do something, the president can fire the AG. Look up what Nixon did to find out more.
Not just Nixon, if I remember right Trump tried to do something similar to stop the Mueller investigation. So why would Biden want to normalize weaponizing the DOJ like that?
The only people who consider Biden “in charge” of the DOJ are people that want to normalize Nixon’s and Trump’s behavior.
Biden didn’t weaponize the DoJ. At no point did he use it to attack opponents who hadn’t committed crimes as decided by grand juries. During Trump’s trials he was, at least publicly, hands off and let the AG do his thing.
Don’t confuse Biden giving his son a pardon after conviction with Nixon firing multiple AGs until he got to one that was fine with him being a literal criminal and Trump trying to find one (and succeeding) that wouldn’t release a report on how Trump is corrupt.
This is not a both sides thing.

That was my point. The only thing Biden can do is fire the attorney general and threaten to replace them with an attorney general that will do his bidding. That is the only way Biden could control or be “in charge” of the DOJ.
During Trump’s trials he was, at least publicly, hands off and let the AG do his thing.
Trump wasn’t “hands off” in any way: [Six Takeaways From Trump’s Threats Against Rod Rosenstein](During Trump’s trials he was, at least publicly, hands off and let the AG do his thing.) If Biden were to use his position as president to control the DOJ by threatening the attorney general, he would be normalizing Trumps actions of weaponizing the DOJ.

Not sure why you’re saying this. The person I responded to before you responded to me claimed Biden is in charge of the DOJ. I pointed out that he wasn’t because as we’ve both pointed out, the only way Biden can have any control over the DOJ is by replacing the Attorney General with someone that will do what he says. The same way Nixon and Trump did.
