I'm not a proponent of pardons absent unusual circumstances, such as actual innocence or persecution. While Hunter may not be particularly deserving, Joe is well within his discretion to issue this pardon. I mean, it's not like he stormed the capitol, attacked police, or destroyed or desecrated the property of the halls of Congress.
 
First, Biden is not a "good dad." He enabled this POS his entire life allowing him to grift off his offices. He's a 55 year old man and he's still dependent upon Daddy.

Second, this is the most broad and expansive pardon given by a President since Ford pardoned Nixon. Why not just pardon him for the gun and tax charges?

Third, Biden confirmed that the DOJ is weaponized - he just believes it was weaponized against his own son - so he's conceded the larger point that the DOJ exists to serve the Elites and go after their enemies.
Oh, good, the guy who fakes being a law partner of a felon has decided to weigh in. Hey dipshit, the pardon isn't about weaponization of DOJ. It's about the weaponization of Congress, and the incoming bullshit that is going to destroy the DOJ.

The idea that Biden has "conceded" everything is precisely what I'd expect from a mouth-breather who couldn't make a logical argument if one was presented to him on the back of the coloring menu he uses to keep busy while waiting for service.

There are legit issues to discuss with respect to this pardon. "OMG Biden just admitted that the DOJ is completely corrupt" is not one of them. This is how fascists operate:

A. Decide what evil deed they want to do
B. Accuse the other side of doing it
C. Cite the "other side" bullshit as justification for following through on A.

It's not only that it's so noxious. It's that it's so obvious. You people are really much less intelligent than you think you are.
 
This doesn't require whataboutism. Whether Joe Biden has been a good father is pretty much a matter between Joe and Hunter.
It does when I have to read the drivel from ramrouser. He defends a felon rapist and then says that? yeah I wanna know what about.
 
Now do Trump's parenting. Go.
You may not like Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany or Barren but they seem to be well adjusted, successful individuals who are not addicted to crack/cocaine and don't spend $$$ whoring around town filming themselves. I don't recall any serious legal issues involving the Trump kids. His children have great children as well.

Did you forget the charity fraud?

Also Donny Jr. signing off on fraudulent financial statements to obtain loans, while claiming "no knowledge" about the financial position of Trump Organization, where he was Executive V.P..

And all of the kids were almost charged by Vance in NY until the prosecution suddenly disappeared after campaign contributions.

To be fair, Ramrouser has a history of contending that people who participate in the creation of fraudulent legal documents are not guilty of crimes. He has quite a bit of personal knowledge of this.

You live in a bizzaro upside down world.

LOL, if you don't think that Don Jr is a cocaine addict, then I don't know what to tell ya.

This might be the dumbest shit I've ever seen posted on this board.
 
MAGAs at work claiming Hunter also sold drugs. This is false? Correct? Or am I wrong. I think he is lousy, but he didn't deal did he?

Jr. Certainly looks like he’s no stranger to blow and/or opioids, but sure.

Also the Trump kids got banned from holding positions in charities because they stole money from charities they were involved with and illegally used charitable contributions to help his 2016 campaign.
 
One last comment on this, and then I'll try to drop it, as I don't want to spam the board with my opinion on this. Of all the little details I've seen about Biden's decision, this one bugs me the most, I think --

"The decision came after the president and first lady spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Hunter, his wife Melissa and their son Beau along with Biden’s daughter Ashley. Biden’s other grandchildren, including Hunter’s daughters, did not join the family in Nantucket this year."


I'm sure there are a whole hell of a lot of criminals who would love to have the chance to bend the president's ear asking for a pardon over a long Thanksgiving weekend in Nantucket. Maybe Biden decided to issue this pardon months ago. Maybe they never even discussed it over Thanksgiving. But this is the kind of shit that reeks of nepotism and self-dealing. That's the stock-in-trade of the Pubs. It should not be the Dems' as well. We can and should meet them on every field of battle, but we can't descend to their level on things like this.

I agree with you that the timing is odd and makes it look bad. I think it was in response to the Kash Patel nomination but it didn't have to be done now.

Is this really worth a fight? It's a minor offense. It doesn't threaten the rule of law. Hunter was already punished for his conduct when his private photos were entered into the Congressional Record and he was hauled before Congress however many times.

Get back to us when Joe pardons someone akin to Steve Bannon or Stewart Rhodes. Or the guy who shot Steve Scalise or the second would-be Trump assassin. Or Robert Menendez or Sam Bankman Fried. That's corruption. This is just the fitting end to a farcical tale.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. But to my knowledge he hasn’t been formally charged or credibly accused of dealing (depending on how you categorize paying hookers with blow, I guess — barter or dealing?)

Right. Biden's actions are very understandable as a father. And within the letter of his pardon power as president. But from the perspective of anyone who wants to avoid a further slide into kleptocracy, authoritarianism, etc this is unquestionably a negative thing.
