KAMALA 2028
@todd_butler
“ICON OF THE YEAR” She brought the ENTHUSIASM back like we’ve never seen before. I definitely want to see that again but no one else will ever have that. That’s why she is still my pick. #Kamala2028

    It’s more than daddy issues that causes left and far left democrats, especially but not exclusively, wm to be so vocal and upset about the pardon.

    They hated Joe’s unconstitutional love. His public affection. His willingness to cry, be vulnerable, and his acceptance & understanding of addiction.

    Folks don’t seem to understand why Biden pardoned Hunter from 2014 to present. That’s because David Weiss had repeatedly decided he couldn’t charge Burisma allegations from 2014 and 2015, but Kash Patel and others were insistent he should be charged for something w/Burisma.

    As SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief, I was responsible for approving charges and non-prosecution requests. I wouldn’t have approved Hunter Biden’s tax or gun cases. If Hunter’s last name wasn’t Biden, I don’t believe he would have been charged. His pardon is justified.

    I’m done
    Posted by Liberal Librarian
    December 03, 2024

    President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter this past weekend.

    In his proclamation, he noted that Hunter’s prosecution was politically motivated and intended to damage his father. And, not said in the notice: as a father, he wasn’t going to allow his son to swing in the wind while new Attorney General Pam Bondi begins the Trump Revenge Tour.

    The reaction from the commentariat made it seem as if Pres. Biden had pardoned a child-murderer. The Economist inveighed that he “abused a medieval power.” Senator John Cornyn rose up on the Senate floor to chastise the action for “setting a bad example” as to the rule of law. Matt Yglesias did a U-turn from his previous position that Pres. Biden should pardon his son.

    Fuck you all. I’m done.

    ………………………………..

    “Joe Biden saved his son but didn’t save us from Trump!” No, asshole. That was on you. That was your job. All you had to do was vote. All you had to do was drop a ballot in the mail, or go to an early-voting center, or, heaven forfend, get your useless ass up on Election Day and go vote. Too many of you didn’t do that.

    Pundits. Columnists. Republicans. Fairweather Democrats. Shut all the fuck up. None of you have done one lick of work to preserve “norms.” You’re all useless, or actively malicious. We don’t care what you have to say. What you’ve said and done have led us to where we are right now, where a traitor to this country is about to assume office yet again. We’re done.
