Something something drain the swamp. Trump drained the swamp by appointing his kids and his friends kids White House positions and forcing everyone to use his hotels.
Don’t even get me started how Fauci is corrupt!

There is no logic in the Republican Party
Nobody fucking cares.
I, for one, am never voting for Hunter Biden again.
Although I heard a rumor that his dad might be better then trump. Although it was just a rumor. Not sure if it was accurate.
I reckon that he would if a) Hunter is sent to prison and b) Joe doesn’t get re-elected.
I can’t imagine that Joe would care enough about the bad press at the end of his career to leave Hunter inside.
Actually, in that scenario, it would be more important than ever, assuming Trump was taking office. Biden muddying the waters with inappropriate pardons would weaken any attempt by the courts to stop Trump from pardoning himself.
It wouldn't weaken it unless the court tried and failed to stop it. Someone would have to sue Biden for it and I'm unsure there's a party with standing.
Don't you dare use logic and shit up in here. There's no way a politician actively campaigning isn't telling the full truth about everything.
Let's waste less time on this non-story. How about both parties in power focus on helping the average American citizen?
The difference between how Biden is dealing with this and how Trump dealt with crimes committed by those around him is very much relevant to understand how they see and run the state and that has an impact on people's everyday lives. Personally, I'm not a big fan of Biden, but pretending there's no difference between him and Trump is disingenuous to say the least.
I mean, why not?
Probably because that would be a gross abuse of power.
Drop in the bucket holding the American legal system.
If that was the reason he chose not to pardon his son, that would be very nice of him though, I guess.
Considering the shit stains Trump pardoned I don't think I could bring myself to care about who Biden pardoned. That ship has so sailed.
"That guy committed murder, so now we all can!"
Integrity.
Ppfff. American laws allow law enforcement to steal from you or murder you, deny workers a living wage or representation, and recently stole the right of bodily autonomy from 167 million women, to name a few national legislative embarassments. You'd be a heartless, pedantic fool to begrudge an old man keeping his remaining son out of jail for filling out paperwork wrong.
Well, maybe in mid November 2026...
