The Many Faces of US Politics...

Just heard (Democrat) Joe Klein on Smerconish

Makes a lot of sense

Joe has pardoned his son Hunter, after previously stating he wouldn't use his presidency to do aforementioned.

Not a good look

Indeed. I have read people say it legitimises future Trump pardons, however the same fella doesn't need a reason or an excuse. The 6th Jan "patriots" will be out.

Absolutely. Understand why Biden did it obviously and I am sure most people would have done the same. Democrats cant turn round and criticise Trump now. As a general query, why should Presidents have this power?

The US political system is unfit for purpose across the board.

[J70]

Trump campaigned on releasing the insurrectionists. He got elected anyway.

But yeah, Biden should not have done this.

I've said before, the pardon stuff needs to be regulated and overseen. Right now it's completely arbitrary and open to corruption, as so blatantly exhibited by Trump openly using it to impede investigations in his first term. Clinton had a whopper or two also.

Would they? are most people outright liars and fakes?

Water off a duck's back for Genocide Joe, Netanyahu's partner in mass murder, the doddering old piece of rancid shit.

[TabClear]

Would they? are most people outright liars and fakes?

Are you saying that if someone had the ability to potentially stop their child going to jail the majority of people  would not use that power?

 Trump's team sees trade through the prism of hierarchies of power — ie as a tool to increase America's market dominance in a world where trading "partners" are anything but equal. Trade policy is thus not just defensive, or driven only by domestic goals (such as bringing industrial processes onshore to create jobs); it also aims to suck economic activity from rivals to America, and to weaken them, say by forcing the producers of commodities in other countries to slash their export prices.

[Denn Forever]

Not one of Joe's best moves, but I suppose he learned from the best.

[befair]

No point in the Dems being squeaky clean when the Trumpies use every dirty trick in the book

Seriously. Even if he didn't pardon him the Fox News crowd would still find a way to turn it into a criticism. F*** them. F*** them to high heaven. Joe absolutely did the right thing.

It was a political prosecution anyway. The only reason they went after Hunter was to get at Joe. Not the first time the rethuglicans have demonstrated their "family values" by acting like mob bosses and going after their opponents' relatives.
