    Here is the only issue I have with the pardon. Once Kamala lost, Biden should have started to go hog wild with last minute shenanigans in order to give Americans things they actually need. Instead he decided to pardon Hunter a full month before leaving office rather than helping us out and doing the pardon on the last day. Now, even if he does do things that will help Americans, nobody will notice because of the pardon.

    I literally don’t care about the Hunter pardon. Trump pardoned Russian spies. I think pardoning a child for a dumb drug offence is fine. 🤷‍♂️

        He can’t blanket pardon people. He would have to do one for each person.

      All drugs should be legal.

      We all know humanity will refuse to unclench our collective butthole regarding capitalism during our lives. At least let us get high as fuck on whatever we want while we wage slave to barely make it.

      Perhaps it’s more about the working class suffering then it is about money and power. Remarkable if that’s true.

    I’m sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.

    Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty to win at all costs, and that’s why he won. It sucks to hear but it’s true.

      Democrats are also willing to fight dirty to win at all cost. They just did

      You are confused what winning means for them. It is not forgiving student loan or raising minimum wage.

      You’re absolutely right that they dont fight dirty enough. Hiwever, I’d say that Democrats lost largely because Kamala was too cowardly to distance herself from biden and his awful policies. She lost because she chose to court moderate Republicans (who gave her the finger and voted for the fascist. Big surprise!).

      Biden pardoning his loser son does nothing for the most marginalized folks who will have to deal with Trump’s fascist regime in the coming year. It’s not a good look that the only time Biden “fights dirty” is to serve his own interests.

    At this point, of cours ehe should

    People will rightfully call him out and then forget about it by tomorrow when trump says something stupid.

    Once trump gets in office, no one will ever be able to remember any of this because the shit will be a full never ending flow into a turbine

      Looking at Trumps upcomming cabinet I am both in horror and anticipation for what is going to happen. We’ll either see a slow decline of US power, a world war or just nothing great will happen at all.

        A slow decline of US power would be a good thing for the world lmao. It’s a funny thing from the US “left” how supremacist they really are.

    Let’s face it for elites… They are not American, they are Elites that use America as their playground … The Biden tanked the Harris campaign out of spite and don’t care who gets in as it doesn’t really affect them.

    These are extremely rich people… Unless we are in Red China, they have nothing to fear

      No offense, but Harris more than capably tanked her own campaign by being as milquetoast as biden when it comes to supporting the working class.

    Everyone who is upset about this fails to comprehend that the world has fundamentally changed since then and Americans literally voted trump into office.

    Either that or they’re paid trolls. Hard to tell sometimes.

        You don’t understand that republicans are trying to outrage you over nothingburger after nothingburger. Its OK, it takes a long time to learn that lesson, but until you do you’re playing into fascist hands.

          You don’t understand that we don’t actually give a fuck about the pardon of Hunter, it is a demonstration of all the shit he could do to help people in his last days in office, just going ham with pardons and executive orders and he did literally nothing, not even student debt relief. Do not talk to me like a child when you yourself come in here not even knowing wtf YOU are talking about.

          This condescending bullshit from someone that doesn’t even understand what is so infuriating about this move in the absence of helping actually deserving people is what everyone is shitting on him for. I am not even outraged because I am not surprised. What does outrage me are liberals like you that don’t even understand what everyone is dunking on.

    It’s funny that so many actually believed his BS. All so they could convince themselves they were “the good people”. It’s just so ridiculous.

      They didn’t punch us directly. They paid people for that. That’s why they are better than everyone. See how they sit above us?

      You really start to get all those older writings about the dangers of upper classes cause they really do get apathetic and assume moral superiority just on existence after a while.
