Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

[jaspercabbage]

The whole Presidential pardon thing is bizarre.

An absolutely disgusting decision by Biden.
He's straight up just given Trump an out for when he starts releasing all the Jan 6th criminals.

He was always going to do that anyway.

 

[LostLegend]

He was always going to do that anyway.

Yes, he's even said he would. I'm saying Biden's giving them a ready made defense to do so.

 

[twoblue]

Trump will do what he wants regardless.

He's President for a month. I don't blame him for looking after his son.

If it was the other way around however imagine the fume on here.

there is a fume on here. Right and wrong isn’t connected to the party you support.

He was already going to release all the Jan 6 criminals

Also - Hunter's crimes pale in comparison to what Trump is doing

Trumpism has brought us to our knees in false equivalence and whataboutism

Given the facts and circumstances surrounding Hunter's ongoing legal issues (which the only reason he is being prosecuted and the reason his plea deal fell through is SOLELY because of who he is) and Trump's pledge to attack his domestic enemies upon reaching office, I have no problem with Biden's pardon.

We are so far beyond politics as usual

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

It's the worst thing he could have done. He set the president now for Trump to pardon himself and gave value to the theory that people were going after Trump for political reasons.
Of all the things wrong with Biden this is potentially the most damaging thing is time in office. Future Americans presidents and families are now above the law

Trump has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt Presidents and their families are above the law

I agree with all of this, but still feel it was a very bad move, politically speaking.

We always lose our minds over how things look politically speaking

None of that matters any more

It doesn't to the other side

Always remember the golden rule, the man with the gold makes the rules.

Good. I’m glad Biden has done this. About time the dems stopped taking the high road.

Feels like dems have lost any moral high ground on the issue

No. It is never a good thing when we race to the bottom of the barrel. Why would anyone want to win that race?

Isn't it just one old man looking after his child. Dems can easily distance themselves from it and reclaim the high ground

 

[McBain]

Feels like dems have lost any moral high ground on the issue

Roger Stone agrees with this.

 

[davek]

How can anyone be defending Genocide Joe?

Unbelievable.

If you're a Democrat you have to be outraged at this stunt. It'll put a major dent in the chances of that party going back to the American electorate and making the moral case again against the MAGA lot.
