What parent wouldn't want to save their child from prison.....except maybe Hegseth's Mom.

The best and most important thing Joe has done. Bravo

I don't understand why good-faith people are pissed off over Biden pardoning of Hunter. It gave me hope that there might be some fight left in Joe. And even if there was a wish that he hadn't done it, I'm having a hard time imagining that this could rise anywhere near the top of a list of things we should be pissed off about today.

Fuck each and every person who is criticizing Biden for pardoning his son. They can fuck right off with extreme prejudice. I think Joe should pull out all the stops and do whatever it takes to derail the orange piece of shit and his fucking loony tunes hench-shitbags! Yes, I said it!

trump and his crooked right have no idea what it means to "care" about someone, anyone for that matter. Hunter was charged with crimes no one has been sentenced with before, using him as an example of the two-tiered justice we are seeing. And the lack of something to charge the Biden family with...

trump wants to use this as an excuse to pardon the criminal j6er's? That just shows how corrupt and insane the US is about to become...

Now that Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, he should take the next step in trolling Trump and his ilk. Joe Biden MUST appoint Hunter Biden as the US Ambassador to Ukraine. It would be priceless.

"The more we watch American politics, the more it becomes clear that one party is held to really high standards while the other party is held to none. And the people enforcing this bullshit double-standard think they are the fair ones. It’s time we stop playing by their rules."

Damn right! These fucking southern-fried scumbags are The Enemy. They're home invaders - do you worry about 'procedure" and "norms" when you see a home invader coming through your window? Fuck no!!

Democrats need to stop bringing a butter knife and a nice cheese plate to the gunfight.

Agreed! Kid gloves need to come off. I will reenlist today if necessary to avoid the coming suffering.

Love your work! Please write about Russel Vought appt to OMB. Talk about a nightmare, and this guy is flying right under the radar. My hair is on fire. Worse than Patel by a mile.

How can the ex-con be ambassador to France? I thought felons weren't welcome there.

An Open Letter to President Biden: Supporting Your Decision to Pardon Hunter

Trump turned pardons into tools of corruption, shielding cronies and stacking courts to protect himself. Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter is a stand against the GOP's weaponization of justice.

How about pardoning Jack Smith or better yet making him a federal judge? Any opinions

I had an acquaintance, a casual friend, who had just married the love of his life. They were so happy. And yet he went all in for Trump the first time and stated that he wouldn’t care if they made gay marriage illegal even though he had just benefited from it. I never spoke to him again. That level of cruelty and hypocrisy was too much for me to overlook. I wonder how his husband took it. I’m trying to imagine sitting here with the love of my life and hearing him say, “well, i’m okay if they shred our marriage”.

Hey, give the guy notice for his unrelenting 24/7-365 work to disprove the ancient homophobic slur that all gays are really intelligent with great taste.

I cried for weeks and now I'm fighting mad. I want Joe Biden to break everything before he leaves. Hey he has immunity, remember?

Smash the Supreme Court in any way possible; write executive order after executive order to codify reproductive rights for women, gay marriage, equal rights for LGBTQ+ and transpeople, free higher education, complete funding for public schools, racial reparations (that'll really set their hair ablaze) etc., etc., etc.

Hey now, that would actually be FIXING things, wouldn't it?💙

Oh my gosh. How could I forget universal health care. I am sick and tired of the people who say that people who don't have enough money haven't earned their right to health care. What??? Just being born gives you a right to healthcare. These people belong in hell. Too bad I don't believe in hell.

Tell me what I have forgotten, please!

Thank God president Biden pardoned his son. President Biden had to protect his son from the hyenas and vile subhumans that are being nominated for the FBI and DOJ.

The wealth that owns legacy MSM and social media is infuriating. They’ve basically bought and conned eyeballs into creating an autocracy all so they get richer.

It looks like it is becoming abundantly clear that all the Greatest Minds in America have no idea what happened and absolutely NO idea what to do about it!

340 million people and this is the Best we can do?! It’s pitiful and pathetic!

MAGA gives Americans the finger and they say: “More, please!” We love sitting idly by while you Rob us blind!”
