Memes

How it looks is beside the point. If it's moral then it's moral, and people who are looking at it need to deal with it. As for what Trump's sycophants will do, they're going to do crazy s*** anyway.

When judges ignore plea deals, they are asking for people to strip them of power. That's what happened here, the judge deserved what they got. If you can't find justice in the courts, then to hell with the courts.

I agree with you that the sentencing was incredibly unjust and clearly politically motivated. I'm just incredibly frustrated that Biden is not doing anything that's useful to Americans during his last few months in office.

Unfortunately Biden is known for packing up the slavery prisons with people who in any just country shouldn't be there and keeping them there for the profits of corpos. In this light him pardoning his son is even worse than just nepotistic abuse of power.

You can’t vote your way out of fascism but you can certainly vote your way into it.

Maybe one of these days the liberals will fucking learn from history.

Hunter did get it rough solely because of who his dad was.

If you lined up all the crack heads in America and ranked them "has it the most rough" to "least rough", I would challenge you to find 1% who have it better than Hunter.

My big issue with it is basically summed up by this meme. By doing this he's established that he's willing to break promises and take advantage of systems that republicans are abusing, but only when it benefits him personally. He could executive order a bunch of different things, and go on a pardon spree, but what he does with his power is just to pardon his son. Unlike the rest of us, a Trump presidency will basically not affect him at all, and the little it would/did has to do with his son and he doesn't even have to deal with that.

Do I want his son in prison? No, not really. But considering he all but lied about being a 1 term president and refused to step down making a primary impossible, which at least contributed to the dems loss, it's an extra slap in the face that the only real consequence he had to face is able to be erased by a stroke of his pen, and yet he seems to be doing nothing to protect or help anyone else who has been hurt by his decisions. I don't think Hunter should suffer because of who his dad is, but his dad is making (and has made) us all suffer and is unwilling to do anything about it.

I'm not making a fuss about it, but if I was, it'd not be about the pardon, it'd be about how his big move as a lame duck with immunity confirmed by the Supreme Court is to get his son out of prison and watch everyone else suffer.
