Presidents are kings now. Scrotus said so. Blame them.
Given the circumstances, I’d have done the same thing. Under trump’s dictatorship, I’d imagine he wouldn’t have lived long in prison- what with all those…. Open windows.
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
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
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.

I doubt they’re the ones that see anything wrong with this.
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.
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.
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
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.
To quote a friend of mine, “Joe Biden is the used car salesman his daddy always wanted to be.”
Dang, telegram is working over time today flooding Lemmy with propaganda, oops I’m mean “memes”
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.
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
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.
Drivel
