I really do not give one diaphanous ghost of a fuck that Biden pardoned his son.

America just showed that it will actively punish politicians sticking to the norms & upholding morality while rewarding the most outlandish corruption.

Trump’s going to pardon himself & the media will barely notice.

Show thread

Sean Murthy

The difference:

Trump pretty much said and set the expectation he could and should pardon himself. So, won't be a surprise when he does.

Biden expressly said he won't pardon his son, and set the expectation doing so disrespects the judicial system. So, cries of hypocrisy when he does pardon.
