No one expected Biden to suddenly stop his support of genocide.
But he made a huge deal about not pardoning his son, to the point where the rest of the party and neoliberal talking heads on network news latched onto it as why Dems are better than Republicans.
Than Joe fucked everyone over by just fucking doing it anyways…
Leaving the rest of the party and the billionaire’s talking heads to scramble to explain why Biden was obviously going to do this and it’s a nothingburger.
Which is fucking stupid.
Biden fucked the party with this, so the party should have thrown him under the bus:
We do not agree with this pardon, but it’s Biden’s decision
Is not fucking hard and saves some semblance of the party’s integrity
Joe didn’t fuck anyone over. Trump doesn’t give a shit about precedent, hell pardon whoever he wants just like he did last time he was in office.
I hate joe biden with everything in my soul but I’m glad he pardoned his son. It’s long past due for democrats to take their gloves off and false piety and go muck around in the mud for once.
I think it’s telling that biden can do almost anything right now as a lame duck and does he choose to do anything for the American people? NO! he selfishly helps his son and leaves the rest of us to rot. He could of forgiven student loans, he could of legalized weed, he could of stopped supporting Israel, he could of packed the courts, he could of done a whole bunch of different things that would help us.
But he said it himself when he got elected nothing will fundamentally change which is why Harris lost.
They spent 9 months saying this proves Dems are better…
If I’m not doing a good job of explaining it, Mondays episode of the daily show even plays a montage of all them doing 180s as soon as Biden announced the pardon…
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. Obama rolled over and let the republicans steal his SCOTUS pick and RBG refused to retire under Obama. There’s two right there. All democrat’s fault.
For his scotus pick? Yeah. It was his right - and the by extension the right of the clear majority who voted for him, winning the popular vote and electoral college twice comfortably - to pick a successor to Scalia.
Trump plays hardball. Democrats roll over. If this was a democrat ran senate with trump as president and they tried to block his nominee he’d retaliate by holding their federal funds hostage. Democrats would immediately roll over.
I’m so fucking sick and tired of democrats taking the high road all the fucking time. What has that gotten us? democrats don’t protect institutions. I can’t believe they ran on that bullshit with Harris. “Protecting democracy”. Bullshit. They’ve had decades to protect democracy and at every turn they prove themselves to be a bunch of fucking pussies. Democrats allowed gore to roll over to bush 2. Democrats allowed Obama to roll over to republicans blocking his scotus nominee. Democrats allowed the justice department to slow roll the J6 investigation and never actually get anywhere with it.
The court was able to stop it because he wanted to do it in a circuitous, over complicated way plus he projected that he was going to do it that way instead of just doing it in order to give them time to stop him instead of just making it a fait accompli. Don’t be a rube.
If Biden were the soulless barbarian he’s now being painted as, he would really take the gloves off and use his Supreme Court-sanctioned presidential Seal Team Six privileges to really drain the swamp.
The party had already thrown itself under the bus by not cultivating younger presidential candidates years ahead of this election. Harris made a damn good effort to fill in when they finally smelled the coffee, but Democratic voters who refused to step off their moral purity pedestals to vote for her threw the whole fucking country under the bus. But fine, if it’s not the Democratic Party or boomers or a “weak” campaign it can be this pardon that rationalizes not bothering to vote.
She performed terribly in her last primary because no one liked her, and as soon as she got the nomination handed to her. She immediately and continually moved right until the election despite her numbers going down everytime she moved right.
She rais d 1.5 billion by selling out the party platform, but that’s not a “good effort” because all that money couldn’t buy back the votes she lost by moving to the right to get that money.
The only way someone could say she did well is if they care about dollars more than votes.
It’s not newsworthy when a duck quacks.

He could pardon people in immigration detention.
He could pardon people with federal marijuana convictions.
He could pardon people on federal death row.
He could pardon Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Leonard Peltier, or any of the feds other miscarriages of justice.
But no.
He just pardons his crackhead son and leaves.
It’s so easy to make fun of people who struggle with addiction, isn’t it? :)
It is when they’re born with silver spoons up their ass yes.
I’ve got endless sympathy for the people who have to work every day dabbling in some substance for a break and end up getting caught in a web.
But Hunter Biden? Fuck no.

Party forces a nearly dead old man with a son being personally threatened as a political weapon to step aside
Acts surprised when he moves to protect that son from the incoming fascist state
He tried. The Supreme Court, that Americans voted for when they chose Trump in 2016, stopped it.
You mean when RBG refused to retire under Obama and Obama didn’t fight hard enough for the scotus pick he was entitled too?
Or how about the democrats ratfucking the primary and forcing someone that was deeply unliked as the candidate? (Not once but twice!)
Stop blaming republicans and start blaming democrats for their shit ass leadership.
You are blaming Democrats for the Republicans suing to block Biden and then the Republican Supreme Court stopping him?
I bet you blame rape victims too. “She should have fought back harder!”
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. Obama rolled over and let the republicans steal his SCOTUS pick and RBG refused to retire under Obama. There’s two right there. All democrat’s fault.
“Obama rolled over”
You saying he should have fought harder?
For his scotus pick? Yeah. It was his right - and the by extension the right of the clear majority who voted for him, winning the popular vote and electoral college twice comfortably - to pick a successor to Scalia.

I said you blame rape victims, “She should have fought back harder.”
You said I didn’t read so I clarified that you meant Obama should have fought back harder.
You then doubled down and agreed that you blame victims.
Just because a rape victim didn’t fight back hard enough doesn’t put ANY blame on the victim.
The Republicans are the rapists. Stop blaming the victims for not fighting back.

She most certainly did not.
