Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.
In a world where we keep poking each other’s eyes out, everyone ends up blind.
Stop, please.
I believe in the goodness in people more than is optimistically allowed, but even I am forced to acknowledge the existence of sociopaths and psychopaths who abuse the good will of innocents and well-meaning people alike.
Sociopaths and psychopaths will always make fun of those they abuse, and they will use the morals and ethics of people against them.
You are a simple hypocrite.
Wow, dude calls out shitty people and you decide to claim solidarity with the shitty people.
Yeah, I don’t believe you know what you are talking about.

You’re the one who seems confused.
But hey, you can lead a horse to water…
Stop both sides bs, this is a guy pardoning his son’s addiction, not committing treason, attacking the capital, or selecting a cabinet of pedophiles. Have some fucking humanity, putibot.

What the f*ck does this have to do with War Criminal Putin? You volunteering this out of nowhere makes me think you’re a Kremlin stooge. Like a kid shouting “I didn’t eat the cookies” when nobody was talking about any cookies missing from the jar.
humanity for the guy responsible for thousands of dead kids and many more being starved simply for the crime of being born in a disgusting apartheid state ? the hypocrisy of the american elites knows no shame.
biden deserves all the misery in this life and after it.
Biden is trash but it’s somewhat absurd to hold him accountable for USA’s long history of genocidal imperialism. If it weren’t him, it would just be another brainwashed puppet.
Why are you projecting what Russia is onto other countries?

Ukraine conflict: ‘Russian soldiers raped me and killed my husband’
Rape has become a weapon in Ukraine. Finding justice may be difficult
no country other than maybe Britain has killed even a tenth of civilians. ukraine looks like a peace summit compared to what us did to bangalesh, combodia, south america and even palestine today. trump today very much represents the systemic moral rot that america is. but everyone there is now crying because they are going to be mildly affected by the fasicsm they have forced across the world

biden has the highest donation from aipac and has basically acted as their pimp for all his political career. he held the ukraine aid hostage to supply 2000lb bombs to mass murder civilians in refugee camps. atleast in past there was the pretense of cold war but this time its a democrat president shamelessly enabling a genocide of poor brown people while starving & evicting them from their own land. forget weapons they don’t even have enough tents and food to survive the winter and this two faced shtihag is sending them f-35 and artillery worth tens of billions.
and now his whoring addict son making millions of his political connections while cheating millions on taxes deserves 10yr blanket pardon while newborns are blown to pieces by his very policies ? and this make him humane ?
downvotes all you want but you are all are defending a rotten genocider

Yeah but maybe the world would be better if everybody was blind. I can’t imagine a blind person using a gun effectively.
At least neoliberals are finally admitting they have no moral high ground whatsoever.
Why don’t you go over to Afghanistan and play nice with the Taliban, hmm? Or better yet, sit down for tea with Boko Haram. Oh, I know, why don’t you walk into North Korea, try entering one of the gulags? I’d love to see the look on your face. Fuck your holier-than-thou mentality. Moral high ground? Keep talking about that, when ISIS puts you in an orange jumpsuit.
You going to saudi arabia, palestine, usa with off-white skin tone?

You can Google words if you don’t understand their meanings.

Empire has always been blind to justice, freedom, etc.
Have you poked your own eyes yet?
These people don’t deserve eyes
