I agree. Since Biden believes that Trump is a fascist, and he didn’t do this for purely selfish reasons, I expect him to also issue a blanket pardon for all undocumented immigrants as he is granted the power two do under Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution. Otherwise, I’ll have choice but to believe that he is a corruot individual who is actually just saving his son from legal consequences of matters already resolved in court.

No way this looney is getting confirmed. It’s gonna be Rubio, isn’t it?

You argument is quite literally “the president should just go ahead and misuse power right now because it was abused before.” It’s astonishing what you people will let Dems get away with and how little you consider the damage it does to the party’s image, chances, conduct and culture.

Thing that’s been dominating the news cycle for weeks is momentarily less dominant than thing that happened just yesterday.

Must be because people are so unfair to that troubled youth who just needed help, Hunter Biden. Has nothing to do with Joe Biden promising to use presidential powers to pardon the indigent, disproportionately-black group of people who went to jail for possessing weed and instead using the powers specifically for his 54 year old millionaire son.

Yeah, that corporate bastion of pro-Trump sentiment, The Guardian.

That’s not a logical fault, you just don’t understand what machismo means. It’s specifically referring to a gendered attitude that emphasies male strength and leadership. The idea that mobs are macho and Mexican men are macho but that contributed to the election of a woman is normally the kind of drivel only head injuries and drugs can produce.

Exactly, which is why the judge objected to plea deal. Are you following now?

Actually judges can and should call foul on plea deals that are poorly worded so as to allow future violations of tax law.

No. They quite literally cannot get that. They will find a way to contort themselves into believing that Biden is a responsible dignified statesman who is forced into every stupid, evil or corrupt thing he does, up to and including genocide.

THAT’S what you object to in their comment? You’re part of the problem.

Judges do that all the time. Hunter Biden was the 50+ year old son of one of the most powerful people in the country. Not some 22 year old street kid from a poor district.

This thread reads like a satire of how Democrats are happy to sink lower and lower while using the GOP as an excuse.

Yeah, I don’t see any public interest involved at all when it comes to the issue of presidents using their power to get their relatives off jail time. I don’t think it undermines the sense of justice and equality that all citizens are supposed to have if the “first among equal citizens” can get their crackhead middle ages son off of already lenient legal consequences for actions that others are serving hard time for. Not at all a conspicuous legal hole that undermines the concept of the rule of law, and definitely not open to abuse.

I forgot that part of machismo, where you put aside being macho in order to vote for mobsters. Classic Latino cultural phenomenon.

I seriously can’t tell if you’re kidding.

I agree, in Latino culture they perfer voting for conservative strongment like Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.

Yeah. That’s why Mexico’s president is a left-wing feminist woman. Because “machismo”, you’ve got it all figured out. The 60% of US Latinos who have Mexican origin came to the US to run away from her.

Elon Musk is a right-wing darling with appeal for both white nationalist types and libertarian deregulators. But no one can take over MAGA. Trump is top dog, to the degree that I have no clue what they’ll do once he’s gone from office.
