Lol.
Most of these comments are a great example of how stupid Americans are.
All my life Dems have been held to a higher standard. I've watched them take the high road so many times while the Republicans went low. Continued to honor decorum when Republicans refused.
And guess what happened?
Americans told them to go fuck themselves and voted for blatant Republican corruption instead.
And now there's a bunch of comments in here whining about how Democrats are corrupt for doing this.
Go fuck yourselves. Clowns.
If they're going to be corrupt at least do it in a cool way. Democrats were running with the narrative that Trump getting elected would be the end of democracy. If they truly believe that then beat him to the punch and do some official acts to keep him and his cronies from power. He won't though because he's a pussy. Just takes care of his own and fuck everyone else.
Like what? If you're going to complain, do you have any ideas?
Lol. By all metrics Biden was a good president. Then Americans told him and his party to fuck off and re-hired a twice impeached convicted felon and rapist who incited an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election. He doesn't owe Americans anything. We treated him like shit. He deserves to have this small win and then retire. He already spent 4 years passing meaningful legislation and then got dropped like garbage. He doesn't owe you shit.
The sky's the limit. I'm not gonna give suggestions because I don't have a blank check from the supreme court protecting me from prosecution. He does.
So you're complaining, but you don't know what you're complaining about. Got it.
Biden should just......do something.........something that we don't know....but something? Got it.
Biden should get right on that.
Wow, I sure hope your reading comprehension improves someday. Good luck buddy.
Meanwhile one of the many cronies Trump pardoned was Charles Kushner, who Trump also wants to give an ambassadorship to France. If Republicans didn't have double standards they would have none at all.
Yup. He pardoned Roger Stone too.
And Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon.
And these losers are crying about Biden pardoning his son after Trump explicitly stated he would go after his political opponents if he won.
Literal clowns with clown noses.
Nailed it
Hypocrisy is not a virtue and two wrongs don't make a right.
Hope this helps!
It doesn't. The voters proved that "high road" bullshit is pointless. Therefore they will get what they deserve.
In 2024 America it is and they do.
Yeah this a real win for the working class and "progressive" politics.
The working class didn't vote to win. They voted to lose.
Yup.
A few weeks before the election Trump and Musk sat down and had a televised discussion in which they they talked about how they hated unions and didn't respect worker rights.
Then working class Americans voted them into power.
We voted against ourselves in the most blatant election ever. We are not a smart society. We deserve to lose.
What does that possibly have to do with Biden choosing to abuse his clemency powers to spare his failson from the consequences of his actions?
This isn't an act of progressive or socialist will. This is just another example of a two tiered justice system in this country but also fuel for the fascists. I don't see a reason to celebrate this unless you're a Biden.
And holding one side to a standard while letting the other side do whatever they want is also hypocrisy
Nothing quite as pathetic as going personal in a political discussion.
