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

In this case the players make the game at least a bit.

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@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks 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.

Given the circumstances, I’d have done the same thing. Under trump’s dictatorship, I’d imagine he wouldn’t have lived long in prison- what with all those…. Open windows.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 weeks ago

Given the circumstances, I'd have vastly restructured the entire government using some Official Acts

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

[–] NevermindNoMind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

If that was Biden's motivation, then where is Fauci's pardon? Or Adam "Enemy from Within" Schiff's pardon? Or what about Liz Chenney who is supposed to face treason charges according to Trump, where is her pardon? What about Jack Smith, where is his pardon? Kash Patel has an appendix in his book which is a literal enemies and prosecution list, any pardons for anyone on that list?

If Biden was concerned about the Trump justice department going after his political enemies, and Biden wanted to protect those people, there's probably 80+ pardons he should be handing out.

But instead he only issued one. For his son. So Biden is either actually concerned about overreach of the Trump justice department but he's only willing to save his son, and leave everyone else hanging. Or, Biden isn't actually that concerned with the Trump justice department and is just abusing his pardon power to protect his shithead son from the consequences of his own actions. Either way, fuck Joe Biden.

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.

May I ask, why does this get so downvoted?😅

[–] finderscult@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The bad .world instance has access to this instance, and they absolutely hate when you insult their God king or their preferred side of the uniparty.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not all of the downvotes are from .world, and quite a few of the upvotes are from .world. It’s best not to overgeneralize.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'd want to hear an opinion from someone who actually downvoted it, cuz I still dont exactly get what's wrong with the meme that would give it such a bad score.😅
