The dramatic development came shortly before jury selection was expected to begin in what would have been Biden’s second trial this year.

    Also, I’d love to see Joe say, fuck it, and pull a West Wing Bartlett, and pardon him in the last minute of his last day in office. I would pay very good money for this.

    Exactly something trump supporters would say…

    If Biden feels the laws are unfair now that his son is effected, maybe he should have taken drug decriminalization seriously

      Trump pardoning every scumbag in existence when he was president, has left a very bad taste in my mouth, especially Joe Aprio (sp?) immediately springs to mind, among a rouges gallery of criminal clowns, so yeah I’d like to see a one two punch from the Bidens on Joe’s way out the door, Hunter pleads guilty with no deal, gets sentenced to whatever it is these fucking Trump installed judges hand him, it becomes a flashpoint for the election, again drawing the line under the difference in accepting responsibility, and Trump, then Trump loses the election, and Joe pardons Hunter. I would turn my pockets inside out to rat fuck Trump exactly like this.

        So because trump pardoned obviously guilty people…

        You think Biden should do it to?

        That type of thinking is very dangerous.

        Like, it’s not just fucking over trump, it’s a fuck you to everyone who isn’t above the law.

        Remember Biden saying that, like very recently?

        No one is above the law

        And then he puts his son above the law and you fucking clap for your sports team.

      Biden can do it, but present it differently. He could say that “Yes, this is an abuse of power, but I have every right to do this under the Constitution, and nobody can do anything about it. If you don’t like it, pass an amendment to limit presidential powers. No one should be above the law.”

        Yet Biden made campaign promises and then “looked into” if they could be done till well after we lost the seats to do anything.

        He wouldn’t act to help tens of millions of Americans, but his crack addict son playing with firearms is a good enough reason?

        I just don’t see any actual logic in what you’re saying.

        If he wanted to prove that point, there was a shit ton of opportunities over the last four years that would have gone a long way in making sure trump won’t win this election
