    Not a USAmerican, so not exactly talking about the politics, but some issues.

    The irony of blasting Biden for going against his word in his son’s best interest while Trump is about to become president is the most laughable hypocrisy I’ve ever seen

    Why not?
    It’s not like Trump is supported by the leftists in lemmy.

    It just shows them that Biden is not very different from Trump. They have been saying that and pushing for 3rd parties or other President nominees.
    Biden chooses to do this rather than set guardrails or do something to ensure that Trump is not given free reign.

    This is further validation for their view.

    And since Trump becoming president is a grave thing, does it mean that the Democrats are bad, because they have not done enough to stop it?

    I look forward to watching y’all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine, the US leaves NATO, and western democracy collapses.

    Palestine is being wiped out even under Biden.
    US leaving Nato would be big, but we can never know how the effects would be like, right?

      Yeah it is weird how self righteous liberals react towards being shown over and over that their group is to blame for this shitshow.

      But I doubt the US will ever leave NATO without a coup happening in the US. The US would basically lose more than half their geopolitical influence.

            Do you think Hunter would be protected from his own wrongdoings if his dad wasn’t president?

              Clearly not, but what’s your point? Biden is president. Not saying it’s right. But I think it’s what any parent would do. Hunter isn’t some moral monster. He’s just messed up more than anything, in the way a kid in his situation might.

              Not justifying it, but executive power is insane. Trump will break the law far more destructively with respect to Hunter then this pardon, or at least that’s the fear I imagine Biden has.
