Liberal Redneck - Joe Biden Pardons Hunter Biden

Wednesday, December 04, 2024

Joe pardoned Hunter, and the only part I care about is the part where the right is super mad about it. That part rules.

well this past weekend Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter and I got to tell you I'm having trouble coming up with a thing I've ever given less of a damn about seriously I think I would give more of a damn about Megan marle wearing a weird scarf than I do this story this is approaching Obama tan suit and djon mustard levels of me not giving a damn about it

in fact the way that I feel about Job pardoning Hunter is the same way Republicans feel about like you know what rape and treason and cops killing unarmed black people and stuff like that which is to say not only does it not bother me I actually kind of think it's awesome

I do you know why because I love anything that infuriates the right if it pisses them off it is sweet Ambrosia to me and boy did this story here ever get him a sputter and they're like he he can't just break his promise and spurn decorum by using his power in an ethically dubious way like that's supposed to be our thing everybody knows that's our thing right

I love it like if you really thought about how upset margerie Taylor green has to be by this

I just keep picturing her laying in bed alone like Wolverine and that famous meme just staring for only at a picture of Hunter Biden's dick

it's wonderful you know and I don't feel I don't feel hypocritical about it either I don't

all them people out there like I better not hear one word out of the left when Trump pardons a January 6 people after this

kiss my ass first of all he was 100% going to do that anyway

Without question.

Oh...those lips.

I can just turn down the volumn and watch him.

At least there will be some point in watching this video.

#6 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-06 09:56 PM

I can almost understand to pardon his son.

Now...what if he pardons people who might find themselves being investigated by the Trump administration?

How will that be excused?

#7 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-06 10:05 PM

How will that be excused?

Why does it need to be excused? He can do it if he wants to.

#8 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-12-06 10:07 PM

Redial,

How can it be explained other than abuse of power?

See it you can the question without starting with a whataboutism.

#9 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-06 10:15 PM

How can it be explained other than abuse of power?.

The President has the power to pardon. Pretty simple. The scope is quite broad.

#10 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-12-06 10:23 PM

For starters, why should valid pardons need to be excused?

And so long as your alias is talking about "excused..."

What excuses does it provide for the apparent attempt of the incoming Trump administration to sic the military upon its politcal enemies?

#11 | Posted by LampLighter at 2024-12-06 10:33 PM

Redial,

I never suggested he didn't have that power....not that I'm sure he actually does....

Assuming he does, what justifiable reason might he use to avoid being accused of abusing that power.

Wonder how long it will take before someone plays the whatabout card as if that is a defense.

#12 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-06 10:35 PM

He doesn't need one. Accuse away.

#13 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-12-06 10:38 PM

Who gives a shht?
The President has this power. It's not even a question. There is no question. None. The only toll that there is is political, and Biden's out.

And Trae has it 100% right as far as I'm concerned.

"How can it be explained other than abuse of power?"

Folks who repay the IRS, including penalties and interest, aren't sent to jail, especially when they went through rehab in between.

Meanwhile, Eric Holder admitted ZERO US attorneys would bring the gun charge alone, since it's almost exclusively charged when a crime is committed with the gun.

Hunter Biden wouldn't be pursued if his last name was Johnson.

#15 | Posted by Danforth at 2024-12-06 10:45 PM

" Folks who repay the IRS, including penalties and interest, aren't sent to jail, especially when they went through rehab in between."

Yet he plead guilty without even going to trial. I wonder why that is? You also left out the part about th3 prosecutor offering such a ridiculous plea deal that the judge rejected it.

#16 | Posted by BellRinger at 2024-12-06 10:49 PM

" what if he pardons people who might find themselves being investigated by the Trump administration?"

Like Liz Cheney? For telling the truth?!?

#17 | Posted by Danforth at 2024-12-06 10:49 PM

"Yet he plead guilty without even going to trial. I wonder why that is?"

Tell us you don't know how expensive it is to defend a bogus legal charge, without using those specific words.

#18 | Posted by Danforth at 2024-12-06 10:52 PM

"You also left out the part about th3 prosecutor offering such a ridiculous plea deal "

Did you miss the part where no USA would've even BROUGHT the gun charge?

How about the part where folks who pay their taxes, interest, and penalties aren't jailed?

This was obvious LAWFARE. Hunter wouldn't be pursued if his last name was Jaglowski.

#19 | Posted by Danforth at 2024-12-06 10:58 PM

" Did you miss the part where no USA would've even BROUGHT the gun charge?

Those are BS talking points. Hunter plead guilty to tax evasion for two reasons and they are tied together. He wanted to avoid discovery and he absolutely knew he would be pardoned.

#20 | Posted by BellRinger at 2024-12-06 11:15 PM

Danforth,

Let me put it this way - if James Biden does not receive a similar pardon I will be moved in the direction of where you are at on this.

#21 | Posted by BellRinger at 2024-12-06 11:20 PM

@#16 ... Yet he plead guilty without even going to trial. I wonder why that is? ...

As seems to be typical in these minor cases, he plead guilty.

The issue became that his lawyers said his guilty plea also applied to any other accusations he may be accused of in the future in this area.

The prosecuting lawyer then said that this future thing did not apply.

So the Judge threw out the plea agreement because the prosecution and the defense did not seem to agree on its terms.

But to your comment, many people enter into a guilty plea to agree to a solution of the case.

So, what's your current alias' point?

#22 | Posted by LampLighter at 2024-12-06 11:29 PM

@#20 ... He wanted to avoid discovery and he absolutely knew he would be pardoned. ...

Yeah, your current alias seems to make those two assertions with certainty.

But, as seems to be the norm of your current alias, no evidence is provided.

#23 | Posted by LampLighter at 2024-12-06 11:32 PM

The same people complaining about Joe's pardon of Hunter are the same folks who were silent when Trump pardoned people like Joe Arpio Roger Stone Paul Manafort and the like and they did more damage to the United States than Hunter did. Partisan hackery at its finest.

#24 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2024-12-06 11:40 PM

Laura Mohr,

Had Biden pardoned Hunter for the crimes he was convicted I wouldn't have had a problem with it. I was expecting it and predicted it without complaint from the moment Biden said in June that he wouldn't issue a pardon.

A pardon for ALL crimes and potential crimes spanning an eleven year span?

That is corrupt as hell.

Ford's unconditional and full pardon of Nixon eviscerates your talking points. Full stop.

Bell,

This pardon how it was handled will go down in history as one of the most corrupt acts performed by a president in US history.

It was for close family member and didn't have political justification.

Absolute abuse of power....

#27 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-06 11:56 PM

Ford's pardon covered a 5 year period. He was pardoning a former president. AND, Nixon wasn't a family member and Ford and Nixon didn't have any questionable "business" ties.

The 2 pardons are more dissimilar than similar.

The tweedledee and tweedledum of the DR.

Zero condemnation for Trump pardoning convicts and criminals.

Absolutely losing their shht Biden protected his son from republican witch hunts.

What a couple of deplorable Trumping FAGAts.

Wait a minute
As the White House Historical Association points out, most of the over 22,000 presidential clemency cases granted since 1900 have been "all but anonymous."

But a president pardoning his son is sure to make headlines, especially given the amount of space Hunter Biden's actions take up in the contemporary political imagination. In Lincoln's time, Emilie Todd Helm's pardon was just as controversial, as she firmly supported the Confederacy, even after Lincoln legally absolved her.

If media accounts from the day are to be believed, her pardon left a bad taste in his supporters' mouths. And while President Biden risks doing the same in pardoning his son now, he's simply doing what Lincoln and several other presidents have done. It's the ugly side of that power " unchallengeable, broad and unlimited " but one we must tolerate if we are to trust the office of president

#31 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2024-12-07 12:06 AM

AKA Nixon's entire presidency.

#32 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-12-07 12:15 AM

Laura,

Odds are there's more Hunter Biden criminal activity that Joe knows about.

A line from SNL, I think Hunter is a real "wild and crazy guy".

Who knows what else is lurking in the shadows of his life.

#33 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-07 10:08 AM

Laura,

Plus, there is the question of what's in it for the "big guy"?

#34 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-07 10:42 AM

You're so up in arms about Hunter Biden yet you vehamintely support Trump. Irony much BillJohnson??

#35 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2024-12-07 10:47 AM

Given Trump's Vengeance Plan Appointments to punish his enemies, Biden, or anyone else posting their holier than thou BS here, would be foolish not to have pardoned their son given the nature and circumstances of the charges.

Tell us how you wouldn't have pardoned your son or daughter when the new President has threatened them with retribution.

#36 | Posted by Corky at 2024-12-07 10:57 AM

I'm with the redneck.

I am enjoying all the maga angst and hypocrisy.

Keep of going! It seems to be running out of steam.

After watching videos of J6 the following is particularly humorous:

This pardon how it was handled will go down in history as one of the most corrupt acts performed by a president in US history.

Such a strong denial of reality is impressive.

#37 | Posted by donnerboy at 2024-12-07 11:16 AM

Corky,

I have said before pardoning his son seems almost understandable as a father.

However, the 11 years is the condemning part but of course people will frame the conversation in such a way to only talk about the "pardoning his son" aspect and not the whole story.

Now...what if he pardons some people to protect them from charges -- things they may be guilty?

#38 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-07 11:18 AM

How about: "What if he (Biden) pardons some people to protect them from charges -- things they may be inno0cent?

This is much closer to the urgent issue at hand.

MAGA doesn't have the concept of innocence once they elect to accuse someone.

#39 | Posted by Zed at 2024-12-07 11:30 AM

Because they are politically motivated investigations of

When they should only be investigating Crimes.

Someone obviously doesn't understand the concept of a pardon.

If you are pardoned for a crime then you are no longer guilty of that crime.

Unless, of course, you do it again.

Now. Would you like to talk about Trumpy's pardons?

Trump issued a total of 144 pardons during his first four years in office: 1 in 2017, 6 in 2018, 11 in 2019, 52 in 2020, and 74 in January 2021. N/A " Arpaio's pardon was issued after his conviction, but prior to his being sentenced.

#41 | Posted by donnerboy at 2024-12-07 11:54 AM

Donner,

"Such a strong denial of reality is impressive."

These threads so often remind me of the Steve Wilco show where people call the show because they believe their spouse is guilty of doing something.

They get lie detector tests and at the end of the show there is the great reveal.

Oftentimes the people who call the show accusing their spouse of something are actually guilty themselves of that very deed and the spouse is innocent.

Why on earth would they call the show themselves since they are the one who is guilty?

You tell me I am in denial of reality and I say it is you.

When it comes to the accusations about Trump and Russia, it turned out it was the Democrats doing it all along.

Do you assume the Biden's hands are totally clean?

#42 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-07 12:27 PM

Again. Total denial of reality.

Impressive!!

Mueller Report Shows Depth of Connections Between Trump
Campaign and Russians
By KAREN YOURISH and LARRY BUCHANAN UPDATED APRIL 19, 2019

Donald J. Trump and 18 of his associates had at least 140 contacts with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition, according to a New York Times analysis.

Mr. Manafort had multiple contacts with a business associate, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, believed to have ties to Russian intelligence. He had political polling data shared with Mr. Kilimnik and told him he could offer private campaign briefings to a Russian oligarch. He also attended the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

Far from a hoax, as the president so often claimed, the (Senate Intelligence Committee) report revealed how the Trump campaign willingly engaged with Russian operatives implementing the influence effort.

MAGA has specifically said it would go after Liz Cheney, and folks who didn't support the "Stop the Steal" efforts.

If the idea of being prosecuted for telling the truth doesn't send a chill up your spine, you aren't paying attention.

Donner,

Did Mueller's investigation prove Trump or his campaign actually colluded?

#47 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-12-07 02:42 PM

Mueller did not evaluate "collusion" with the Russian government.

The investigation did produce 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice.

Also ... Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses.

The Senate Intelligence Report however says the Trump campaign chairman had regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and says other Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin's aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence officers.
