You've lost sight of why Biden pardoned Hunter. It had nothing at all to do with the merits of case of the interests of criminal justice. It had to do with preserving the institutions of democracy for the immediate years to come.
It's a national security risk to give custody of the former president's son to Donald Trump.
The idea right now is to give Trump less avenues of control over institutions of democracy, and that includes a former law abiding president, his pulpit, and his classified knowledge.
I just made a post commenting that it's a national security risk to have a former president's family member incarcerated or under prosecution by the DoJ as Trump is planning to run it. He flat out said he's planning to use the DoJ to incarcerate political rivals.
It's like
"Hey, Joe, we have your son. You need to tell me / support me / help me with [undermining institutions of democracy and our allies], or else."
With criminal Trump, having as he does zero respect for laws and legal norms, taking over the DOJ, and literally saying he is going to incarcerate his political enemies, it would be a national security risk for the former president's family to be in federal custody or facing serious federal charges.
Wish granted. You must purchase and carry an external satellite receiver and upgrade the internal battery with an also external lead-acid battery with fan-cooled inverter. 🪄
You realize people vote like that all over the world? The ink lasts for a few days. Clearly that's the same as cutting off your finger. I can't believe someone trained a donkey to use the internet. This is crazy.
I think it should be a holiday and anyone present in the jurisdiction can vote. You pick your candidate, legal, illegal, young, old, felon, not, and then you dip your finger in a jar of semi permanent ink so you can't vote twice. I mean, if we're making wishes.
Take care of yourself first. Can't do anything if you're on the ropes.
Then, it is every liberal's duty to become a lawful firearms owner. I can't believe I'm saying this. If you only knew me. Wednesday after the election I spent the day crying. Thursday, I signed up for gun class.
I used to think America was a pretty safe country. I watched the violent crime rate drop since the '80s. It was mathematically clear that having guns in the home was way more dangerous than not. But then I saw these fuck sticks with their tiki torches. Then I saw that guy drive his car through the crowd. And now they won, again?
Republicans today are way more dangerous than any street gang I've ever heard of.
You almost have it.
Let's say they don't pardon Hunter.
Fast forward a couple months to another "perfect" Trump phone call.
"Hey, Joe, we have your son. Here's what you're going to say / do / tell me...."
