    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. 🤷‍♂️

      I love how libs are utterly incapable of discussing things without using Trump for framing. He’s also not pardoning drug offenses, he’s pardoning the whole Burisma thing which is at the very least a FARA violation. That’s why the pardon is sweeping from the start of 2014.

        Going back three decades when everyone thought a “war on drugs” would be a good idea is also lazy to bring into this conversation. As President, Biden freed more victims of that war than all other presidents

          1. Biden sponsored the crime bill that put those people behind bars in the first place.

          2. Biden abused his powers to pardon his son for crimes that other people will remain in prison for. Crimes that are more severely punished because of Biden.

          Its actually quite relevant to the conversation

              Abused his power?

              Yes, I would say that pardoning your own son as president is a conflict of interest, unethical, and an abuse of power. It demonstrates that Hunter is above the laws that Joe Biden helped architect. I’m surprised that this sentiment is so controversial.

        His son is hardly a child at 54 years old.

        I’m sure parents always will see their children as children, no matter their age.

          I’m specifically talking about the silly framing of “a child” rather than “his child”

      That is very cute but any time you start talking about Russian spies republicans can now say Hunter Biden. What you meant to say is you only care when Trump does it.

      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.

        …That Biden specifically helped put there with his drug and police laws.

        Finished that sentence for you.
