Biden has always been a piece of shit. That said, he’s old, his other son is dead, and his loser son got caught up in a shitstorm that had less to do with justice and everything to do with politics and optics. The country decided that it is happy to go down the a fully corrupt, inept and fascist rabbit hole, and Biden opted to save his loser son and tell everyone to go fuck themselves and go suck an mushroom shaped cock.
but
EDIT: Don’t get mad at an old man for choosing to save his son. Be mad at a system that allows a man to abuse his power to protect his friends and family from consequences. For once, a proper use of “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.
I can hate both, I’m pretty good at it
In this case the players make the game at least a bit.
Biden issued a blanket pardon starting in 2014. What was Hunter Biden doing in 2014 and how does this reflect on the idea of him simply passively getting “caught up” in something?
Couldn’t have said this better. Memes and all. Kudos.
This is a great and nuanced comment.
Comments like this are the reason I keep coming back to Lemmy.
Him pardoning his son is a giant nothing burger.
Hunter was the victim of a partisan witch hunt that wanted to get him on Trumped up charges (pun intended) because of his last name.

Indeed, it’s just the Right Wing Media giving us more “It’s only wrong when Democrats do it” bullshit.
The real story shouldn’t even be “Biden protects son from Partisan Witchhunt” it should be “Trump returns to White House despite the 14th Amendment saying he can’t.”
it should be “Trump returns to White House despite the 14th Amendment saying he can’t.”
I agree, if only there had been someone in charge of a government agency with the mandate to go after people like that, using a system of laws and justice, administered in some kind of court… Ideally someone the offender didn’t appoint themselves, with a time period of roughly, idk, 4 years to get it done?
TRUMP runs on ethnic clensing, claims he won’t project 2025, wins, immediately puts authors of 2025 in every key position. Convicted of over 30 felonies, convicted rapist, says ‘‘there will be some hardship’’ while selling is economic strategies that will destroy US economy, wants to stop billions a day in trade from Mexico. Refuses to appoint anyone that can pass a background check. Decides he doesn’t need to even PRETEND hell be lawful and ethical, caught on hot mic taking about disarming citizens. .
- soft to no press coverage . Biden pardons his son. .
- entire newscycle every day dedicated to the ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE this grievous crime is. Now the Presidential office is forever tainted… . It’s hard to even grasp how deeply loyal to Trump these institutions are.
Especially since Hunter Biden was unfairly targeted just for being Joe’s son, and it’s clear the things he’s guilty of are clear examples of selective enforcement.
Anyone paying even the slightest attention just saw a father who was there for his son in his time of need.
It totally and completely is. I mean, it’s immoral and shitty, it’s a rich white person getting off because of connections, but that’s par for the course. It is expected. The annoying thing though, is the hypocrisy of a lot of the posters here. If Trump did something like this, they would be up in arms about how undemocratic and banana republic-like this all is. And this childish Harry Potter morality which determines how bad a thing is not by looking at the thing itself and its consequences but by looking at who’s doing the thing really gets to me.
Seriously, who cares? Voting this year showed everyone no one fucking cares. If you really care about punishing those who committed crimes, go after the convicted felon that will never see a day in prison. Get over it
And there are tens of thousands of people in that exact position but didn’t get pardoned because they don’t have that last name.
Like, he could have blanked pardoned that particular crime in general, but I presume that would have been too much paperwork and might have been too close to actually doing something good for his people.

I have nothing to add to this, I agree
Find me a case of another person being charged with purchasing a gun while being addicted to a drug. Or better yet tens of thousands. You might find someone arrested for attempting to buy a gun while on drugs, but none that reviewed their past logs and tried to find out they were possibly addicted at the time of a purchase of a gun.
It was an investigation that I’ve never seen anywhere before. Any normal situation and a judge would have dismissed it completely as the person was not on drugs at the time of the charge, nor harmed/threatened anyone with the gun
Note: several judges stated such laws were unconstitutional during the years of the investigation, so any Republican supporting it must admit that States have the right to restrict any and all gun purchases for any and all reasons as the constitution states no such laws pertaining to addiction over lap and gun purchases… Or the law cannot support that case
Sidebar: whatever he did with taxes if it was unlawful and others do get charged with it, sure he should be charged

Given the circumstances, I’d have vastly restructured the entire government using some Official Acts
This is a blatant abuse of power by a totally incompetent President who represents a party of foolish woke children. But, by all means keep crying Orange Man Bad… the vast majority of the population disagree.
“vast majority” lul
To quote a friend of mine, “Joe Biden is the used car salesman his daddy always wanted to be.”
I’m GLAD Biden understands the SEVERITY of the Upcoming Trump Presidency and is doing EVERYTHING he can to Protect the American People and NOT just His Family!
The upcoming Trump presidency and everything that comes with it is the Americans people’s fault.
Oh course. Certainly don’t mention the Democrat party that ran two uncompelling candidates against the most flawed opponent in history, spent 2.5 billion dollars in 15 weeks while having almost no presence nationally, and give the American people nothing to get excited about, exerting no effort while expecting IQs above 100 and plenty of involvement from every voting American in order to win, even though those Americans don’t really understand that inflated prices aren’t going down but that’s not the administration’s problem, they’re not going to change anything.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Well, yeah. Not being Trump is basically all that was needed. Given the choice between Trump and anyone else, You should automatically pick anyone else. It’s not hard to understand. Who cares about media presence, you go to the voting booth, locate the square next to Trump, and select the other one. What can be difficult or complicated about that? Most people in the world understand that, but not Americans. They’re too stupid, so fuck them, it’s their fault, I don’t give a shit what happens to them now.
Obviously, that’s not all that was needed. And I would have like to have our party do what’s needed rather than expect things to happen without them trying.
Plus all that money. Wtf
Well, now You have a party, that will identify, what needs to be done to make people’s lives better, and then do the exact opposite. Great choice.
Are you really this entrenched? Are you a foreign asset here to troll?
It’s not wrong to point out the Democrat’s faults in the campaign. It’s how we learn to do better next time. It wasn’t inevitable that Trump got elected. The Harris campaign fucked up. They alienated people.
Your need to blame voters borders on pathological.
Not being Trump is basically all that was needed.
Clearly. And if Harris had maybe gone just a teensy bit more to the right she would have gotten so many republican votes, right?
I cant beleive this drivel keeps popping up a full month later.
In the sense that a cat leaves you to die; he is crawling off to expire.

Without timing, it’s not comedy, it’s just a cry for attention.
How so? I honestly thought it was funny.
Edit: I read it a few times and now I get it. That wasn’t my intention. I’m sorry to those I offended.
ITT: people who wouldn’t lift a finger to save their family from a corrupt incoming DoJ
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.
Hey bby. How’d that work out?
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.
Sources?
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.
Dude its been all over the news. Use google.
https://theintercept.com/2024/11/29/biden-climate-funding-palestine/
The domestic one. 🙄
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
His asshole
If I were a career politician I would simply not raise a crackhead.
Nevermind elected officials in power… let’s point out the cowardice of people in a Lemmy thread.
in the meme board, at that, lmao, of all places
full agreement with the message but you’re gonna get clowned on by sycophants
They’re busy kicking and spitting on Palestinians.
Presidents are kings now. Scrotus said so. Blame them.
May I ask, why does this get so downvoted?😅
The bad .world instance has access to this instance, and they absolutely hate when you insult their God king or their preferred side of the uniparty.
Not all of the downvotes are from .world, and quite a few of the upvotes are from .world. It’s best not to overgeneralize.
Yeah, I’d want to hear an opinion from someone who actually downvoted it, cuz I still dont exactly get what’s wrong with the meme that would give it such a bad score.😅
Because if Biden refused to leave that would be pretty shitty… you know, to reject the results of an election.

I doubt they’re the ones that see anything wrong with this.
Oh course.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
What could go wrong is millions of childish idiots would decide to walk across broken glass barefoot because they don’t like the choices of shoes available. And then blame it on whoever brought the shoes.
Well said.
You see thats the problem, you didn’t bring shoes. you literally spread the glass. bringing shoes would have meant having policies that would actually help working americans.
I showed up and voted. The problem was y’all who didn’t. You also literally don’t understand what the word “literally” means.
Oh I showed up and voted. you’re not some special snowflake. just didnt vote for harris or trump. get better candidates next time and maybe we’ll support your shit party. You know maybe people who dont shit on a minority group being murdered by our policies their entire campaign, or immediately try to through lgbt+ groups under the bus immediately following their loss. Maybe someone who also supports policies beneficial towards the working class.
You know, basic fucking human decency. if you want safety for yourself you need to support safety for others. which dems clearly don’t. Next time you spout ‘blue no matter who’ or other such nonsense to defend your preferred parties candidate remember: you need to actually give people reasons to vote for your candidate. things you may not personally agree with.
Is their blood blue?
Ops point is that he watches Murdoch media, and they didnt mention anything.
That’s why trump won. He consumed the news cycle with his temper tantrums whilst the adults were out working
A quick Google however has lots of lists of things he accomplished https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046
What is your favorite flavor of boot, personally?
I’m quite partial to black leather, good thing that will be in fashion next year.
Dang, telegram is working over time today flooding Lemmy with propaganda, oops I’m mean “memes” looks like I was right
Memes can be propaganda lmao
yeah… thanks for clarifying my point.
Yeah, but I mean that don’t be surprised if you see memes with propaganda during the US election season
We are trying to get Donald Trump to win the election from Kamala Harris. Don’t tell anyone the secret!
Nice try but a vote for anyone other than Joe Biden is a vote for Trump.
oh, no. I’m being challenged!
“Haha, I’m gonna say Rogan, telegram, Russia or Altright and fuck off because I have no opinion outside of spoonfed leftist media, haha”
The only difference between you and a Trump voter was the position of your hand on the ballot.
