President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.

Thank fuck the guy you've all been defending did a selfish act just for himself and his family before ditching us all to die.
Vote with a brick next time.
Good old Lemmy, defending its owners. Wage slaves in spirit lmao
Biden didn't "ditch" anybody. He doesn't owe you anything. If you are going to die because of Donald Trainwreck, it is the voters fault, not Biden's.
Six months of executive action ability.
Uses it selfishly.
"He doesn't owe you anything."
I voted his ass into office. He owes us everything within his power to deliver.
So, either he can't, or he won't.
So he won't.
So fuck him, the puppeteers holding his strings and making sure he doesn't fall down while walking across a stage, and his drug addict son.
I voted his ass into office. He owes us everything within his power to deliver.
Which he generally did. WTF do you think Biden can do now that he hasn't done?
Lol. Americans told Dems to go fuck themselves despite being infinitely less corrupt than Republicans and voting in favor of working class Americans infinitely more often than Republicans.
And now you're over here putting on your clown nose and complaining that they did one kind of semi-corrupt act of a father pardoning his son for non-violent crimes while the true criminal walks free as OUR PRESIDENT?
Get this pathetic shit out of here.
I believe Dems told the voters to fuck themselves wayyyyy before that
I believe Dems told the voters to fuck themselves wayyyyy before that
Nope. The voters intentionally fucked themselves. Dems are the only voters who didn't vote to fuck themselves.
By having a voting record proving they vote in favor of the middle/lower classes infinitely more than the Republican party?
By having a record proving they have had WAY, WAY less convicted criminals in their ranks than the Republican party?
By historically being better for our economy than Republicans?
I'm confused. Are you saying the Democrats told voters to fuck themselves by blantantly being a better party than voter's other option?
I am the only one who remembers the primaries, how it was minorities fault that they spent billions on an election campaign, only to lose it, Kamala telling EVERYONE that the economy was great and fuck y'all, we will STAY THE COURSE, wont change a little bit cause we already perfect as fuck, oh and also WE ARE NOT TRUMP campaign? among other things?
Jesus fuck guys, you can't be THIS disconnected from reality
I am the only one who remembers the primaries,...we will STAY THE COURSE
Am I the only one who remembers that Kamala published an 82 page Economic Plan of changed to be made in the economy? If you erroneously thought Kamala's plan was to "stay the course" that was your own dumb mistake, not hers. She literally had 82 pages of economic changes she wanted to make.
No, I remember Kamala pointing out that the Biden administration had the economy on a path to recovery, which it 100% did by all available metrics. Then I remember people like yourself dumbing that comment down to "she's gonna keep it the same". Which, honestly, would be better than where we're headed now.
I remember Americans being too stupid to do their homework and find out that Democrats are historically better for our economy, because they are.
I remember Americans being so dumb they thought the economy was better under Trump, when in reality, he inherited a great economy and was already running it down before the pandemic by STARTING TRADE WARS WITH OUR ALLIES.
I remember Americans being so ignorant they couldn't look up what tariffs were before the election.
And yeah, not being Donald Trump, a twice impeached convicted felon and rapist who instigated an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election is a pretty fucking huge selling point during an election. But apparently being a felon rapist who doesn't give a ratfuck about democracy is not a bad thing in America.
