Poor Joe Biden

His head was nominated for Mt. Rushmore.
Now all we talk about are his feet of clay.

That you conceive of that as a bad thing says a lot more, and negatively, about you than him.

Once the favored voice of the Swamp the Washington Post turns on Joe Biden.

The Editorial Board



Mr. Biden, of course, argues that pardoning his son strikes a blow for fairness in law enforcement. His statement on the pardon , in which he uses the words,  I believe in the justice system, but, claims that no reasonable person  could reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son.
Yet such considerations were apparently not so compelling when he pledged previously not to pardon Hunter. And his son clearly broke the law. A federal jury of Hunter Biden peers found him guilty of three firearm related felonies in Delaware. Hunter also pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges that carry a penalty of up to 17 years in prison. The gun charges, essentially that the younger Mr. Biden lied on a purchase application form when he denied using drugs, is particularly hard to ignore. Such laws, however rarely enforced, are on the books to help keep firearms out of the hands of those who might pose a danger to themselves or others.

By implication, Mr. Biden casually impugns investigators at the IRS and the FBI, career prosecutors, Attorney General Merrick Garland and a federal judge in Delaware. Before Mr. Garland became attorney general, Mr. Biden himself chose to keep David C. Weiss as U.S. attorney for Delaware so as not to interfere with Mr. Weiss ongoing investigation of the presidents son. In his statement, Mr. Biden complains that a plea deal fell apart in court last summer. In fact, the judge did her job by questioning its irregular structure,  highly favorable to Hunter Biden, and the degree to which the defendant believed it would immunize him from future prosecution for unrelated crimes.


Any Democrat who refuses this week to condemn Mr. Biden pardon will have less credibility to criticize Mr. Trump, his meddling at the Justice Department and his choices for key positions in that agency. No one should be surprised if Mr. Trump invokes the Hunter Biden pardon to justify clemency for many more of his allies, potentially including Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
With this one intemperate, selfish act, the president has undermined, in hindsight, the lofty rationales he offered for seeking the presidency four years ago and indelibly marred the final chapter of his political career.

I agree that if Democrats want to continue with a platform of being better, i.e. more accountable and ethical and adherent to the rule of law, then they shouldn't be pardoning family members.  As an Independent I have tried not to be overly moved by excuse making from any place on the political spectrum.  And given how much Democrats (wisely, IMO) want to keep guns out of the hands of drug users et al, this choice of Joe's seems to have the dirty optics that turbocharges the engines of RW outrage.  No matter how heartfelt his decision, no matter how unwarranted the level of prosecutorial glee going after the president's son, the longterm effect is harmful to progressive politics.

I respect Biden for helping his son, he is in a position to do so. What kind of parent would turn their back on their son?

And the rich people who say that they do not want for their children to have privileges, I say it is all bologna, of course one would want for their children to have privileges. If you are blessed enough to pass down a better life to your children, then I support that.

When I was a child my Mother was married to the Boss of the Space Shuttle Program for a few years after my Father died, and we had a nice house with a swimming pool, etc, and I had poor family members who stopped liking me because of jealousy. If you can provide a good life for your children, then I support that. My Mother divorced the Boss of the Shuttle Program, it did not work out, but we lived in a nice house, and we got to go live in Florida with the Shuttle Program, etc, so it was cool for a few years.

My advice with the Youth is to have Early Childhood Education and to teach the children how to read and write early, and teach them to be kind and polite to other people, etc. I was taught the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule as a child. And we need to teach the children not to do drugs, etc, my Father had a talk with me as a child about drugs, and I never got into drugs, my Father warned me.

Anyhow, you cannot blame a man for helping his son.

I managed a dog kennel for almost a decade and I wanted to buy the kennel but instead the Boss gave the kennel to his step son, I had to walk away poor just like I never worked at all while everything I built up was given to his step son, but that is life. His step son was part of his family and I was just hired help. People are going to help their own children when they can.

Salute,

Tony V.

That sure was a lot fertilizer to shovel.
But, FTR.
Joe is being scorned for lying, and  attacking the justice system that he, himself, used with prosecutorial glee to try and jail his political rival.
And just who does NOT want to keep guns out of the hands of drug users et al?

Fuck that!

Trump pardoned Ivankas father-in-law for some real heinous shit and made him Ambassador to France!

Democrats must be better than Republicans while the GOP feels free to steal Supreme Court seats (two at last count) lie about the outcome of the 2020 election  and failing to overturn that election staged an insurrection/coup to OVERTHROW THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT and Biden is supposed to just throw his son into the gaping maw of those guys?

Really?

Trump pardoned Ivankas father-in-law AFTER  he completed his full prison sentence.
Which is one of the fundamental reasons presidential pardons ( dating back to English law) exist.
