Biden helped engineer the growth of our for profit private prison BUSINESS in the 90s. He was a good neoliberal who joined hands with Reagan Republicans and furthered the regressive capitalist “trickle down” agenda we all suffer into today. He’s a bad man who has done bad things to vulnerable Americans.
He’s leaps and bounds better than the only alternative Americans were presented, which is why I voted
for Bidenagainst Trump.No politician worship here. No “we need a strong man” demagoguery here. Good luck walking right-wingers through that rational breakdown though.
Can’t wait for him to be the only alternative again next year! 😭
Bo Burnham captures that sadness best:
I had no idea there were outtakes to Inside. I have a lot of googling to do now
Well then you owe me a dumpling out dumpling equivalent.
Make liberals realise that ambitious policies are the main factor in electability and the lesser evil is still evil.
Challenge rating: impossible
Hopefully he has decency to meet Mr. Reaper before that.
Based as fuck. I wish we had rcv so I could vote for Cornel West in good faith
That’s the exact reason we don’t have RCV.
Bernie, Biden, Trump… what really maters is who the president nominates and who he surrounds himself with. Very rarely will things make it to the president’s desk where it is up to his judgement whether to sign it or not. Elections are more about evaluating who the candidate surrounds himself, not his policy ideas.
And just to be clear, Trump surrounded himself with nepotism, grifters, and yes-men. I just wonder who Bernie would have surrounded himself with if he got the chance.
Hopefully he wouldn’t have surrounded himself with the members of his campaign
When a personality cult thinks their opposition is also in a personality cult.
It’s always projection, isn’t it?
There is only one this Maga needs to understand.
Hunter is the presidential kid. There hasn’t been any talk of pardons from his dad, government, or otherwise.
Trumps team has at large all asked for pardons. From charities fraud to pedophilisim.
You’d think just the two facts here would be enough to strike a chord. The president isn’t pardoning his own kid. Trump is rallying to pardon those who willingly and with great effort actively attempt to destroy the idea of government in America.
The difference is that Hunter is Really Guilty™ while everyone around Trump and everyone they work with are all a victim of a Democrat Witch Hunt!™©®
Logic won’t ever work because they all have gigantic asses to pull shit out of to “defend” their stance.
But why are they “pulling” the shit out? The logistics of that act is mind boggling.
It’s not about being right, or looking smart, or getting what you want, it’s about feeling superior to someone else, when you know deep down how useless and disliked you are.
It’s about being in the in group. As much as they claim to judge others on their actions and character, it’s actually whether or not you are a member of the in group. Anyone in the in group is automatically “one of the good guys” and can’t be evil. Same reason they call Republicans who oppose Trump “RINOs” to imply they were never part of the in group to begin with. They are impure, cast them out! They must never admit that the in group can be wrong, fallible, or the bad guys.
Do illegal shit. Face consequences.
It’s simple.
I’m out of the loop on these American shenanigans. Why would Hunter Biden be going to prison?
Mainly tax fraud and lying on a firearm application saying he wasn’t on drugs when he was.
You can go to prison for buying a gun while being a drug user? Seriously?
The crime is lying on the form. If he’d checked yes on being a drug user, they would have just denied the application.
It was dismissed as frivolous. Plus it’s an amendment violation.
Same reasons we keep letting reds get away with gun crimes tbh.
In reality, no they don’t normally proscute lying on the form, but Republicans demanded a prosecution. Normally his punishment would be probation, but the judge is considering something harsher.
No, a judge dismissed it, because it’s stupid.
I thought these things earned you the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Because he’s the Democratic presidents son. The Republicans need to attack the president who isn’t a Republican in any way they possibly can instead of helping the nation.
He also holds no office, unlike the previous who’s entire gene pool besides Baron and one other. But this guy demands full congressional power
He’s a privileged rich person and tax evasion is confirmed as a crime that needs to be enforced on the rich. Is he getting dragged down bc of politics? Yes, does that mean he should get away with crime, no absolutely not?
I agree. Tax evasion should be a serious “pound me in the ass” prison charge plus asset seizure. White collar crimes are far more pervasive than they should be allowed to be. They also cause death and suffering in the same way other crimes do.
But, I believe in fairness. Let’s do to him whatever happened to Trump the last time he evaded taxes.
Edit: you know what? I’m getting retributive. I think he deserves 10x the punishment trump got.
Well one major point of the western justice system is supposed to be that the law applies to everyone equally. Now that’s certainly not the case for rich people and I’m all for that to change. But this change needs to be done for the whole rich people class. Using political power to only force it upon one person for obvious political reasons is not justice. Especially when you can be sure that the people calling for a harsh punishment for him almost certainly have evaded taxes as well.
My sister is the only conservative in our family. Her husband’s family are all conservative. My mom loves to push their buttons about Trump, I’m less willing to engage because I’m not going to change their minds, so why bother?
I was at my sister’s house while her MIL was there, and our mom was not there. I guess my sister and her MIL were feeling cheeky, so they started talking politics at me and asked if I believed in Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Yep, I believe he had a laptop.
Did I believe the photos were real?
Yep, that dude’s a moron and overall pretty crappy person. If he did something illegal, arrest him, prosecute him, fire him into the sun for all I care.
I have too much sense to follow that up with “… just like Trump and his kids”, and thankfully my niece came around to chat and the politics conversation ended.
The kind of bullet i love to dodge: political discussions with my family
Honestly I think if someone asked me stuff like that I’d just play https://youtu.be/kORYg4zTcoY?si=_8aaLVCJq_Z8ee7f.
I had the group liquidated you little shit!
Are we talking about the Biden administration being investigated over censorship and restriction of information during 2020 and COVID?
Is this a joke or do you think that Biden was the president in 2020?
Define censorship
Let me guess, any time you’re asked for proof of that you say “do your own research” or “the media censors it” or some other copium shit?
