It’s sad that this is newsworthy. We’re really going to miss reasonable decisions if Trump wins in the fall.
Hey now. Trump would definitely rule out pardons for his sons too.
Edit: For different reasons though, lol.
For Trump Jr maybe.
For the others, I don't think he'd care enough to write the pardon, let alone rule it out.
Main reason it's news worthy is that Clinton actually did pardon his brother. Trump would absolutely pardon any family members though.
I have made my decision, I am not going to vote for Hunter Biden. It took lots of articles and lots of social media but they convinced me.
I hope he pardons him during the lame duck period.
As much as I loath Biden, the one humanizing aspect of the anti-desegregation zionist is that he loves his son despite his constant failures.
He can love his son and also democracy and justice too - i.e. allow his son to go to what will surely be like a resort vacation spa that they will call "prison" (not bc he's special, just bc he's rich).
Touch grass
Please please tell us which President in the last 50 years would you prefer over Biden. I fucking dare you.
FDR was at least smart enough to buy guillotine insurance in the form of social democracy in response to unrest, Biden's response to 2020 was "fund the police", followed by ending the "pandemic" anti-poverty measures.
I know America is not great at teaching math, but FDR died in 1945, which was 79 years ago. I'm no mathematician, but 79 is greater than 50.
Also, it's weird that you accuse Biden of being against desegregation and then tout FDR who was just an out-and-out racist.
Next, you'll claim Doom is 30 years old.
What? It came out when I was 18? I refuse to believe this.
Work on your math.
Complete buffoon confirmed. Without Biden's actions after Trumps complete covid fuckup we lose 2-3 million more Americans. STFU.
Actions such as ending testing, the eviction moratorium, stimulus checks, free vaccinations, the expanded child tax credit, etc?
Trump fucked up covid by promoting ending testing, reducing the quarantine time, and pretending it was over, all of which Biden proceeded to do. Bad things don't become good when team blue does it.
The last week pardons of presidents are insane and far worse people have received one. I really wouldn't mind him pardoning Hunter, but it'd be politically savvy to wait until after the election and not pardon Hunter if he loses it.
wait until after the election and not pardon Hunter if he loses it.
Why wouldn't he pardon Hunter if he loses it?
Why would you be OK with that? Are you trolling?
Lol, yeah right! It's election season, but as soon as that's done, he'll pardon Hunter. He should've just admitted it though. Everybody knows he's lying
He won’t do it. He’s not Trump.
I don't see why he wouldn't do it. It's his son. trump has pardoned criminals waaaay worse who then went on to commit more of the same crimes they were pardoned for. He also gave medals to people who were wholly undeserving of said medals.
Hell now that trump is a convicted felon how about undoing the bullshit he did while in office. Take away the medals from those assholes who don't deserve it and throw the criminals he pardoned back in jail.
If he was a detective, wouldn't all his past cases be under scrutiny? Why is that not the same for a president? It should be put to higher standards than police work.
Uh huh...we'll see. He's already lied for him time and time again saying the laptop was Russian disinformation when he already knew that wasn't true and abused his power by getting Facebook and Twitter to block the story and suspend the New York Post's account in order to interfere in the last election but you don't think he would clear his son before leaving office?
I’ll take that bet if you’re willing to use an escrow service ;)
willing to bet?
Yeah, actually I'd bet my last dollar on it...you really think Biden wouldn't clear his own son before he left office? He's already lied for him over and over saying things like the laptop was Russian disinformation when they already knew that wasn't true
we'll keep it friendly. 50$ each. we'll use an escrow service. if Biden doesn't pardon him once he is no longer president, I win the cash. if he does you win.
agreeable?
I don't know how that would work. Whichever one loses would have to release the funds right?
what I'm hunting down right now would be a service where we both can set the terms.
example I submit 50+service fee $ to x service . if I'm wrong money goes to NoSuchAgency
you also submit a bet of 50 + service fee if your wrong money goes to me.
winner gets their og bet money + other half of the bet. edit making sure the bets are accurate
Weak ass attempt to spin R-tard
