It’s coming. I’m sure @Aloha Hoosier is deeply alarmed.Congress should force him to pardon himself. Make it known that congress will open reopen the investigation into the big guy and call hunter stat. Make him testify now without the 5th

Oh that insurrection Barbie
This sounds like Trump hiding classified docs in his bathroom, but that info didn’t come from “Insurrection Barbie”
What did we hear for so long through all the Trump investigations?He's probably trying to prevent Trump from ordering the DOJ to dig up everything they can in order to find some other reason to prosecute him.
I'm just suggesting how it might look in Biden's head. Not saying there is or isn't more dirt to find. Just that Biden probably fears Trump will never leave Hunter alone unless he gets a Get Out Of Jail Free card.What did we hear for so long through all the Trump investigations?
If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear.
I’ve never been one to really buy the Biden crime family stuff but this is the kind of move that raises my eyebrows.
Why would I be alarmed? I've said all along if he was apparently guilty of any crimes, I'd be all in on impeachment while in office or prosecution after he left office. The MAGA Republicans in Congress never got close to finding evidence to meet even the "apparently guilty" threshold. In fact, House Republicans knew they didn't have the goods and just gave up on the idea of impeachment. I've never defended Joe Biden, I've only pointed out bull shit. I care nothing about what happens to Joe Biden legally.
So Biden lied when he said he was pardoning his son because it was a politically motivated prosecution in the first place?I think the sweeping pardon has more to do with what Goat said. Biden wanted to spare his son from Trump's DOJ spending time digging anything they could up on his son for the next several years and then holding up whatever they could dig up as proof that he held 'the Biden crime family' accountable.
The standard I 'require' from Biden's accusers is something several accusations against Trump have: credible proof and in some cases convictions. Saying that 'you just know' something or you 'think' something is a certain way without any real proof isn't really common sense - it's wishful thinking bordering on conspiracy theory. Don't you have your law degree?
And try all you want, you won't get an 'emperor has no clothes' moment on Joe Biden from me. Yes, I voted for the guy, but mostly because he wasn't Trump. That's largely where my enthusiasm and loyalty ends with him. I think he did some good things as president and he didn't do any irrevocable damage. In 100 years kids will miss an extra credit question about the one-term president who served as Barack Obama's VP. If actual, real, provable crimes are exposed put him and jail and throw the key away for all I care.
So why didn't he say that?I'm just suggesting how it might look in Biden's head. Not saying there is or isn't more dirt to find. Just that Biden probably fears Trump will never leave Hunter alone unless he gets a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
No one is above the law!
You mean after Kushner served his time?Just in case I was too obtuse and you didn't get my drift...
Trump wants pardoned real estate developer Charles Kushner to become US ambassador to France
President-elect Donald Trump has named pardoned real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, as his intended nominee for ambassador to France.apnews.com
Bet you're shocked, huh?I will agree this is BS and a bad look.
It is to guys like @cosmickidThis can't be a surprise to people, can it?
After swearing you wouldn't?I don’t blame Biden in the slightest. I would pardon my son as well.
He's already said he's going to pardon some J6ers.I hate most pardons. I’ll be hammering Trump if he pardons himself or his kin as well
Then you're misusing the term 'woke.' My stance on the border is far from 'woke' - I know for a fact that I've been critical of Biden's handling of the border and said that it would have fallen on Harris to right size those missteps. We certainly had our differences on inflation. But you're still flat out wrong about me being 'woke' on 'every last issue.'
I hate the term 'woke' but I'm pretty sure you're wrong in how you're defining it. Or at least how you're applying it to who you think I am and what I believe.
Did he kick the bucket? When did that happen? Did the election results do him in?May he RIP.
Also, that reminds me…..
We need more gambling content from Cosmic. Those stories are gold!It is to guys like @cosmickid
All of his non political stories are greatWe need more gambling content from Cosmic. Those stories are gold!
Tommy, that is ****ing hilarious from the Party that wants to do away with the filbuster and Harry Reid giving the boot to Senate voting traditions." Dems constantly step on their dicks because they are more overly concerned about ettique and their misplaced importance on historical political norms,"
"Dems are focused and burdened by the long standing rules"
He needs to publish his book - he can call it "My Life As A Bag Man".We need more gambling content from Cosmic. Those stories are gold!
Not that I know of. But his extended absence is concerning. I believe his health wasn't the best.Did he kick the bucket? When did that happen? Did the election results do him in?
Pretty fvcking hilarious you think Trump is the one who wouldn't follow through on his word when Biden has been lying to your face about the pardon since June.Let's face it.... the people in Washington just aren't very intelligent. It would have been intelligent to do what you said but I'll bet it never entered their mind. However, I don't think I would have trusted Trump to stick to an agreement like that.
Kushner did his time. It's in no way comparable to Hunter.Our president elect pardoned his son in laws father, who was convicted of tax evasion, illegal campaign donations and then tried to set up his brother in law with a prostitute in a room where it would be recorded.
And our president elect wants him to be our ambassador to France.
I'm sure the same people complaining about Hunter's pardon are the same ones that complained when Trump was pardoning his merry bunch 🙄
Seriously? That sucks and I sincerely hope that's not the case.Not that I know of. But his extended absence is concerning. I believe his health wasn't the best.
Is that a serious question?Do people saying this realize that they're submarining their own arguments against Trump when they resort to this?
Pssshhhtt. He's fine. He's ashamed to show his face around here, since he was so wrong on the election.Seriously? That sucks and I sincerely hope that's not the case.
Whatever our political disagreements, I think 95% of us would get along just fine in the real world (AKA Meatspace @BradStevens )
Slowest economic recovery ever. Plus, he screwed my wife out of 70% of her pension.In addition to pulling us out of a time economic time and healthcare benefits his rhetoric during the inane woke messaging was spot on. I like Obama
I was referring to his extended absence since November 5th. I didn’t mean he actually died. I certainly hope he didn’t.Did he kick the bucket? When did that happen? Did the election results do him in?
I did not know that. Hope he’s ok.Not that I know of. But his extended absence is concerning. I believe his health wasn't the best.
How can you keep missing the point so completely.Do I think Biden should have done it, no I don't.
Do I think the people falling over themselves because he did it when nothing was said about who Trump pardoned is being hypocritical, absolutely.
Be consistent is my whole thing.
You think maybe the Biden Thanksgiving dinner conversation went something like this?Multiple things can be true with the same decision.
While I agree most parents would do something similar, not all would. It seems Joe's lack of quality parenting from the beginning is part of the reason Hunter thinks he can get away with some ridiculous behavior - and that's before you take into account the partying, drugs, etc. At some point, you want your kids to learn lessons and this does nothing to further that for Hunter.
Secondly, I agree that he made this decision for his own benefit and he has the right to do so. It isn't great for the party at all and looks particularly bad given all of the drama around going after Trump and Biden promising not to use his power to help his family. That being said, do you think Biden gives a shit any more? He was basically forced not to run (which was the right decision but he probably doesn't agree) by the party, so I can see him saying, "fvck it, I have to take care of my family and I don't care about the collateral damage because I don't have that long left".
Lastly, it is terrible in terms of setting precedent because it's blatant abuse of power. Everyone likes America because there is far less corruption. This doesn't feel like that.
You had me going until your last sentence.Pardoning Hunter was the right thing to do. Of all the lunacy coming in the next few years, this put a smile on my face. The family first party strikes again.
Yeah, he'd really have to dig hard. lolHe's probably trying to prevent Trump from ordering the DOJ to dig up everything they can in order to find some other reason to prosecute him.
He sees it. He wasn't denying he's a total partisan before the election.How he doesn’t see that is just shocking to me
Well we saw Biden for what he was right away. Lyin Biden. Let him pardon his son. Take the whole tasteless clan and get out. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows their legacy. Let Trump and his family resume their rightful place leading this great nation. The Trumps are basically our royal family. Class.He sees it. He wasn't denying he's a total partisan before the election.
But now that Kamala was exposed as an idiot and Joe pardoned Hunter after he said he wouldn't, and now Ohio decides it's not cool to be work any more.
No one likes to be ridiculed and Ohio was one of the ones in front, leading the charge against Trump. Now that he's failed, he likes to pretend he's not one of the biggest woksters here.
It's an amazing transformation!
