Also, Biden got 51.3% in 2020, and more votes than any candidate ever… in a middle of the pandemic. He also had good approval rating entering the White House and early on in his presidency. Point is: high approval is normal early on . We need to wait and see if that remains.
The Biden Presidency

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
But that's what makes this entire thing extra stupid, and extra ridiculous.
It would be one thing if this really was 2016 again, and we could do this whole "let's just give this newcomer a chance" - stick, but that's not actual reality.
So, everybody devoloped amnesia during the last 4 years, i guess.
Trump will be proud of him.
Why is that even allowed? What’s the point of these pardons and how are they good?
What a well functioning democracy, with a clear separation of powers and a functional rule of law.
One last indignity.Its easy talk on twitter or to virtue signal on issues outside your line of sight but when push comes to shove, they are all same shit, thinking otherwise and then calling opp dumb is some next level shit.
The good thing about this pardon is that it clears the way for the J6 heroes to get what they deserve and to be back on these here streets. And the Dems will have to swallow it all down their stupid fecking throats.
Freedom is a must baby.

I kind of understand it. Republicans will rant and rave about Hunter Biden regardless, and have done so for years now. And this pardon will in no way set a precedent than Trump will now follow - he doesn't give a shit about precedents. Also, Joe Biden is about to disappear from politics anyway. Maybe it reflects poorly on Democrats in general, but I'm not so sure. I think this could just add to an already awful legacy for Biden, but be forgotten quite quickly.
Yeah, feels like a really low risk play for him
Exactly. Will there be consequences for Joe Biden? I can't see how. Will there be consequences for Democrats electorally? I doubt it, and in any case I don't think Biden cares about that.
feck Joe Biden. Useless decrepit cnut.
The big guy came through for his son
Not that it makes this any less bad but they'd have done this anyway. Trump pardoned a shitload of melts in his term like Roger Stone, Dinesh D'Souza, Michael Flynn, etc...
None as blatant as your own son I guess but it's rich to see Republicans mad that Democrats sunk to the same depths as them.
Sleepy Joe been taking notes from the Trump Presidency
I really wouldn't be surprised to see Trump let the rioters rot in jail. He seems to hate his supporters even more than democrats do. As highlighted by your examples, Trump pardons a certain type of person, I believe it was mostly business and political associates and other fraudsters. He might throw J6 a bone for the hell of it but I'm a little sceptical.
Looked at things in isolation, I would imagine that Hunter Biden is probably less morally egregious than anyone Trump has pardoned.
You can't seriously pardon a family member can you? America is mad
And yet they will look at you with a straight face and claim to have the best democracy in the world.
Bill Clinton pardoned his junkie brother.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bil... the president's brother,a year of the pardon.
Might as well, the American political system is so brazenly shameless at this point that this move hardly matters at all.
This pardon is different to that and even Trump pardoning his son in law's father. In those case, sentences were already served. That's not the case with Hunter Biden. Also the pardon is for any future charges Trump's justice department might bring against him since it is for an entire decade from 2014 to 2024. Crazy for any democrat to defend this.
"Democracy Nepotist"
That aged well.
Cannot actually believe that it should be allowed, it's just wrong on so many levels.
A valid comment about a lot of rules (or lack of) and regulations in the US
As a single act it's probably meaningless but when you add all of these type of events together it just lowers the standards of public office. We expect it from the likes of Trump but when the 'better' political side does it then how can it not add up to a deep distrust of politicians?
There's always scoffing when someone on the right says 'well they're all the same' but in many ways it's true.
Feck knows how you restore proper standards and trust in politicians but this certainly ain't it.
Elon edited that in himself probably
This is complete insanity which will have long lasting consequences on the Democratic camp.
I'm legit one step away from thinking that he's doing everything he can to screw the Democratic Party over on his way out, because they booted him out of the presidential race

I think they're responding exactly as expected, and it shows that for a large portion, lib morality is at the kindergarten stage of development. It's all about self-interest and avoiding punishment. Because Biden is on his way out anyway, and since Trump has shown you can do x/y/z without getting punished electorally, who cares if the politician I'm supporting is corrupt? "He started it, she did worse!"
His legacy is going to be absolutely damning.
I’m not sure he has enough capacity to make calculated decisions like that.
At this point it would be better if he was in the state that the public perception has of him.
Just a nobody but still funny
I guess it's not a popular opinion, but I think that's disgraceful by Biden. There's a reason conflict of interest is a thing in law.
Not sure how much more disappointed the dems are going to make me this year.
