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....

Keep telling yourself that slick. It's all you know BillJohnson.

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.

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.

Im going to assume you don't know what that word means ...

He wholeheartedly supports Trump. Of course he doesn't know what that word means.

You just repeat whatever Fox/Rupert Murdoch whisper into your ear, don't you?

Jeff's a reactionary parrot. Someone who will regurgitate the talking points fed to him by the right wing media and the leadership of his party. Without any critical thinking nor intellectual honesty. It's sad but thems the facts.

DOGE For short.

So if Biden signs a rash of blanket pardons like he did for Hunter he's opening a huge can of worms that will set a terrible precedent.

Trump might as well bring in the Ohio Gang' like Harding did and just blanket pardon all of them.

Are lefties even capable of seeing past the end of their noses?

Yawwwwwwnnnnnnn. Carter issued blanket pardons for draft dodgers. Blanket pardons have been done before.

Seems to me that the people at Anthem Blue Cross want to stay in THIS side of the sod. Just sayin

Yet, the left wants them to be able to consent to permanent life-altering chemical and surgical procedures. It doesn't make sense and quite honestly it's perverse and cruel.

Still lying about Trans healthcare for minors I see. Not surprisingly. Disappointing but not surprisingly.

Can you imagine St. Peter telling Brian that he hasn't paid his Heavenly premiums so he can't get the care that he wants?? Giggles

apparently you flunked civics...

the potus is elected with 50 separate elections ( and territories ) using the electoral college.

and 312 to 226 is a butt kicking....but I know you know how our Republic works.... so stop bs'ing.

AND BTW...final numbers finally in and even Washington State moved some to the right.

Apparently you're ignorant. Not surprisingly from Trumper. Trump didn't even get 50%of the total amount of votes cast and he beat Harris by about 1.3 percentage points. Hardly a butt kicking. Please do try again.

35 And stop telling us to STFU, the country just told you to STFU. Deal with it, get some therapy if needed.

Only 22% of the US Population voted for Trump. So no. America hasn't spoken. Please do educate yourself better before you opine.

Have you seen what this thread is about? It's about preempted pardons for Democrats. Why would they need a pardon if no crimes were committed?

To insulate the person being pardoned for charges that might come in the future.

Clinton was the beginning of the capitalist revolution in the Democratic Party.

He gave corporate America exactly what they wanted and in the process, abandoned the working class. Obama and Biden were more of the same.

Yeppers. And Clinton was the second iteration of MAGA. Reagan being the first.

According to Ex Parte Garland, 71 U.S. 333 (1866), the President's authority to pardon is unlimited except in cases of impeachment, extending to every offense known to the law and able to be exercised either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.

Rotten bastards. The lot of them.

Conservatives speak with forked tongue

The flat tax is a regressive tax on the poor. We've been over this before many times Boaz. Oh and which tea party are you referring to. The first one or the second one??

I'm all out of sympathy. Eff them.

Notice BillJohnson has stopped talking about mail-in ballots now?? Funny that.

Nobody is talking about transitioning a 2 year old child. What is at issue is transgender youth around the start of puberty being allowed to at least take puberty blockers if their Dr and the medical team decides if it's appropriate or not. WPATH has a set of guidelines to follow regarding such healthcare. Oh and no it does not have anything to do with lopping off anything as crudely as Jeff puts it. That's the cruc of the issue.

Exactly.

And SCOTUS seems to be leaning towards denying such medical assistance.

Which is a disgrace. Conservatives sticking their noses where they don't belong. Same for Abortions.

Black Republicans are not asking that stupid question.

The only ones "asking that" are race baiting Democrats.

Nice simping for Trump. Wanna cookie??

You know the people arguing that the six feet rule are the same people that didn't take the Corona virus seriously in the first place. So who cares about what they think.
