Okay, Hunter Biden, I could understand. This one makes no sense unless you’re an asshole.

Full-on mask off, now. Owner class protecting owner class, nothing to see here. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move along.

Biden already pardoned people convicted for simple possession of marijuana back in Oct 2022.

And in December 2023, expanded that for the offenses of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana, regardless of whether they had been charged with or prosecuted for the offenses on or before that date.

How would you know if anyone kept it up? You didn’t follow it the first time and just wanted to be outraged.

no he did not

he pardoned enough people that other people like you instantly placed him on sainthood status level ignoring the fact it was only a drop in the bucket and that Biden helped craft the laws that got people locked up to begin with

Why do you feel this constant need to deny reality when it doesn’t agree with your opinion of a person?

Biden pardons 1500 people who met a certain criteria. The media goes and digs through every case to find 2 controversial ones. Right-wing media would NEVER do this for a right wing politican.

I hope CNN keep that same energy for Trump. Given the interviews I’ve already seen between trump and left wing media I doubt the left will hold him even 1/10th as accountable.
