Gov’t is above the law

Im never voting Hunter for president again

I think if Trump had gone to sentencing for his 34 felonies, this would piss me off. But I’m of the mind now that the era of accountability is officially over. It’s always been skewed but when they just decided to pretend Trump’s 34 felonies, from a jury mind you, never happened, all bets are off.

It makes no sense for him to hold the moral ground, let his son go to jail and see a new government full of criminals.

Hunter was convicted of lying on an ATF form about his drug use, and for not paying enough taxes. They are crimes, sure. But they are a crimes that numerous people commit without being indicted for. They should probably be better enforced, but Hunter was clearly specifically targeted. If Hunter and Joe weren’t in the limelight, theres no way the indictment would have happened.

If people are mad at this, but not mad about the pardoning of Paul Manafort or Roger Stone, pardons which had literally no legitimate reasons, then they are hypocrites and imbeciles.

Does this person think that every presidential pardon means that the individual is “above the law” or is it just because it’s Biden that’s doing it.

Also Hunter Biden isn’t part of the government.

>!Part of me also feels like this is ignoring that the current cases against trump are going away because he won the presidency which is more of a ‘trump is above the law’ sort of thing than this. But that’s also some ‘whataboutism’ on my part!<

Dude might stop playing by the rules that the GOP burned and pissed on a long time ago.

Good on him for not letting the next administration give him the death penalty for a crime that usually gets a slap on the wrist.

Trump hasn’t been held accountable for SERIOUS FUCKING CRIMES against fellow human beings, this country, and other countries around the world.

I. Don’t. Care.

Minor detail: Biden made Hunter go through the entire criminal process. Hunter got no shortcuts.

I mean its pretty clear Hunter was only targeted because of his relation to the POTUS and Biden’s official statement acknowledged that, shit take OP

With all the people Trump pardoned in his first term, I’d say this is fair. Watch the GOP have a fit over this, wanting to impeach Biden or push Trump’s inauguration early in order to somehow arrest Biden.

I am going to be honest, I don’t care that President Biden went back on his ‘promise’ and decided to pardon his son. Anyone else (Republican or Democrat) would have done the same thing. The truth is that there are people who are above the law in the US. That person is not Hunter Biden, it is Donald Trump. I also care more about the executive of the US committing obstruction, defrauding the American people, inciting insurrection, etc. than a private citizen lying on a ATF form.

people elected a rapist chomo felon, nothing in this stupid country matters anymore

I honestly don’t care about the discourse anymore we’re gonna get tarrif’d to oblivion anyway

It’s almost like the Republican Party has weaponized the government to attack people with the last name of Biden for . . . *checks notes . . . having the last name of Biden. We’ll ignore the allegations that Donald sold pardons in his last few days in office, or that Donald pardon about 200 people, quiet a few of whom were violent offenders. Then there’s Donald naming recent pardoned by . . . *checks notes . . . Donald criminal Kushner as ambassador to France. Next up? The Supreme Court creating the concept of “presidential immunity” to keep Donald from being tried for the theft of classified documents or the clear attempt at a coup that he lead.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Democrats didn’t start the whole “this person is above the law” trend.

Didn’t Trump do the exact same thing like multiple times?? Oh wait he DID. Quit nitpicking if you can’t hold your side accountable. It makes you look like a fool.

And of course the numerous felons Trump pardoned then gave cushy government jobs to didn’t indicate that at all. Nor did his being shielded from prosecution. It was the guy who got railroaded being pardoned who caused brought the proof.

Maga has zero ground to stand on here but they have no morals or ethics so they’ll still complain.

The pardon is the law, so using the law does not make you above it.

Thank you Russian trolls! That’s how pardons work dumbass. President Ford pardoned President Nixon for Watergate crimes and any other possible crimes he may have committed. There is precedent for this. Trump pardoned many but not all of his lackeys on the way out the door. After years of Investigations that Republicans never came up with anything on Hunter biden. I think the reason why President Biden pardon his son was to prevent another four years of pointless investigations and Congressional hearings that do nothing. Just keep repeating Hunter Biden’s laptop over and over again until it actually means something. It never will.

This is how Pardons work. And yes they often kind of ugly. Remember Clinton pardoned what was it Mark rich?

A pardon is literally a get out of jail free card. It is the law, it’s not above the law. It’s right in the Constitution. You might want to read it sometime instead of just talking about it.

Why are democrats held to such a higher standard than republicans in America?

All the shit Trump has done – he’s a fucking felon for fuck’s sake – and the internet melts down over this?

Would you leave your son in jail when a fucking lunatic with a petty mind is coming into almost unlimited power? No you fucking wouldn’t.

If the law allows for this to happen legally then how is it above the law? It is simply following the law

Yeah I could honestly care less at this point

What a high horse, Hunter only hurt himself and his family reputation while he is not actually directly involved in Gov affairs.

45 on the other hand insights violence which caused death and misery for all involved, convicted of sexual assault and cooking his accounts etc etc but they still obsess about Hunters laptop.

Just business as usual. I remember someone saying they voted for Trump over Hilary since they were tired of the Clinton family and I can somewhat understand the sentiment. Politician always seem to be slimy sleaze bag that tell lies while profiting from their politic, and anything positive to everyday people is the norm. Don’t get me wrong, Trump no better, and many way worst, but I hate the idea that just because one side is worst that the other side is somehow an angel.
