President pardons his son Hunter

Maybe, in principle, the pardon is a good idea, but it’s abused. It’s not just about Biden doing this for his son—it also impacts when we deal with other countries’s injustices. And in the US apparently some are above the law. Plus, it will only fuel Trump and his authoritarian drive.

Biden’s refusal to step aside so Dems could have a primary and get a stronger candidate, then his push to elevate a unpopular Harris, and now this—his selfish decisions over the last year are hurting the country’s future (although what 82 year old father would choose to let their son potentially go to jail)

 

This has been in the planning since this summer but the Biden Admin choose to say it was not an option when they all knew it was still on the table:

 

Meh. You guys don’t care. I find it funny that you are pretending though.

 

And? Does that make it right? Pardons should be reserved for true injustices, like people convicted of things that are no longer crimes (or enforced crimes), people wrongfully convicted, or people who have earned mercy by turning their lives around inside.

 

Is lying bad? Should we not elect people who are liars?

 

Since you apparently believe that lying should be a disqualifying factor for the office of the presidency should the same criterion also apply to Donald Trump? Just asking.

 

Where did I say that?

 

Although you never expressly said it, it was a rather obvious implication from the X/Twitter link that you posted.

 

The Hunter pardon makes it easier for Trump to pardon the J6ers

 

No it isn't. What I posted is for all the Biden nut swingers that have been touting that no one is above the law. Well I guess Hunter is and Biden is full of crap!

 

We have a fundamental disagreement over the scope and purpose of the pardon power. I have obtained many pardons for clients over the years on the state level and none of the would have met your narrow criteria.

 

Maybe, although Trump had already planned on pardoning them no matter what.

 

Did he lie or change his mind?

 

So it is fine for some people to be above the law?

 

It’s a joke Ty Webb. You’d think someone who uses that pic in their profile would have some sense of humor. I have a life unlike the person I quoted who I think lives on this site.

 

If your client got a pardon because their daddy is important, yes, we have a fundamental disagreement over the acceptability of that practice.

Maybe seeing the lack of consequences for other powerful people's criminal behavior convinced him that his son should be above the law too.

 

I didn't say that.

 

Do you oppose some people being above the law? I'm just trying to understand your position.
