If that was Biden's motivation, then where is Fauci's pardon? Or Adam "Enemy from Within" Schiff's pardon? Or what about Liz Chenney who is supposed to face treason charges according to Trump, where is her pardon? What about Jack Smith, where is his pardon? Kash Patel has an appendix in his book which is a literal enemies and prosecution list, any pardons for anyone on that list?

If Biden was concerned about the Trump justice department going after his political enemies, and Biden wanted to protect those people, there's probably 80+ pardons he should be handing out.

But instead he only issued one. For his son. So Biden is either actually concerned about overreach of the Trump justice department but he's only willing to save his son, and leave everyone else hanging. Or, Biden isn't actually that concerned with the Trump justice department and is just abusing his pardon power to protect his shithead son from the consequences of his own actions. Either way, fuck Joe Biden.

I'll entertain that argument once he's no longer president and can no longer give those other pardons.

Biden is sharpening the knife that will be used against every other family while saving his crackhead failson.

Biden is not sharpening the knife: he simply placed a knife sharpener on the counter and is a good sport about letting others use it .

It always was a caretaker presidency, that’s what I thought when he first got into office.

I expect thoughtful words from his speeches as he gently leaves office

The Biden admin is already going after Palestinian solidarity orgs and ramping up powers to use the military domestically.

The Biden admin + Canadian targetinh of Samidoun and the domestic forces have been increased throughout the admin via direct funding of cops and supplying with military equipment along with fighting to keep and expand Trump-era national guard deployments using the insurrection act.

Again, sources?

I gave you the specific, identifying terms for both things, you can easily look into them with a Google search. If you spend 5 minutes looking for each and come back and say you could not identify them, I will go fetch them for you.

The domestic one. 🙄

[–] actually@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

He is right about the Palestinian humanitarian orgs, been doing that for a year. I don’t know about the military, unless he means Biden is probably not doing all he can to prevent them from being misused domestically. Don’t know anything there

If I were a career politician I would simply not raise a crackhead.
