Did Biden do the right thing?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

I’m not sure

[MisterWack]

“Did Biden do the right thing?”

Honestly, if it were anyone else’s child we would have bias and give in…. The only difference about this is President Biden being abundantly clear & consistent up to this point that he would uphold the jury’s decision and not get involved (which was admirable at the time) though apparently after seeing his son Hunter Biden at the family Thanksgiving Dinner, he caved according to those closest to him which I believe since the Statement of President Biden seemed “rushed” & “hastily” put together and just not good except the last phrase… Just seems like he was plucking at straws.

My Answer: No and not for what everyone on the Right or Left will tell you, I don’t like it because he could’ve had a bigger argument and make it about the criminal justice system as a whole. Everyone has a brother, son, father, mother, daughter, sister or somebody which imagine if they were found with drugs due to an addiction… Now imagine they find a gun while you have those illegal substances due to your addiction and they throw more sentencing charges on top of it just to put you in jail for a very long time. This reality affects Americans every damn day in the form of mandatory minimum sentences which I find a broken system where the rich get away while the poor suffer. I’d like prisoners who find themselves in mandatory minimum sentences to be treated like a Hunter Biden not like a Prisoner with no label, no rights, and no due process…. Americans deserve better and for that I feel the President failed though he is a good father I have to draw the line that he should’ve stayed out of it & should’ve made this about mandatory minimum sentences.

I don’t care about sides, I care about truth & transparency. I’m being truthful to my values and transparent about my stance since I’m an American who loves his country. If it were me I would cave in and pardon too though make this about the American people not my son. Thank you! God Bless America!

[DrPepper12]

I'm sure that mandatory minimum sentences are completely unrelated to the rise of private prisons that are contracted for a minimum number of inmates from the state.

Lord knows it certainly not related to the war on drugs that has heavily impacted minority communities...

Future generations are going to look back at us with rage and horror.

[MisterWack]

@DrPepper12 Yeah, future generations will.

Typical Democrat...

[ArnieC]

Those people are raving loons.

[phraseology]

@ArnieC It's hilarious how all the Democrats on here see Joe Biden "use" his son as a criminal proxy for the Biden crime family to carry out a long laundry list of of despicable acts with the assistance of American tax payer dollars to fly in around the world to conduct a criminal conspiracy, and then pretend he cares about his son. Not a one of them has a flicker of integrity.

[ArnieC]

@phraseology

Yeah, Hunter was the bag man.

[emeraldsaphire]

He's his son, I'd of done the same thing. Heck if he didn't I'd think he was a bad dad. However it is also very clearly corruption. I think this shows us that we need to change how we look at "Justice" if someone like Biden would think pardoning his son would be beneficial then we are doing it wrong. Are goal should be to reform people, not "punish" them.

[Pterodon]

You’re an enabler

[emeraldsaphire]

@Pterodon lol what does that even mean? The way it works right now is you throw someone in a magic concrete room for 10 years thinking that will do anything, and then act surprised when the person comes out acting like an animal. It does nothing except make people money.

[goaded]

Unless people are regularly prosecuted for lying on their background check forms without having committed any crime involving a firearm, Hunter was singled out.

Ditto the tax issues.

That said, I think Biden should have waited until after the sentencing, although would you trust a Trump DoJ not to prosecute him for years old drug crimes?

Trump pardoned war criminals.

[emeraldsaphire]

@goaded "war criminal" what a silly concept. As if you can be "war innocent" They are all criminals.

[goaded]

Shooting civilians in cold blood, or posing for a picture with the corpse of the teenage captive you just stabbed to death is different.

[goaded]

Jaime A. Davidson, whose life sentence for his role in a robbery and murder was commuted by Trump, was later convicted of assaulting his wife.

[emeraldsaphire]

@goaded Sounds like some awful people.

[Paige90]

What has he got to lose by doing it? He's not going to be POTUS after 1/20 and he's already the worse POTUS in history so I can see why he did it even though his son is a total loser!

[Asker]

@Paige90 💕
Of course, I agree

[Liketotry]

@paige90
DM me please

[Asker]

@Liketotry it’s okay because I am back, I will tell @Paige90 what happened

[blueonblack22]

@paige90 the real reason he is doing it is to cover his own ass. He gave Hunter a FULL pardon for any and all crimes that Hunter wasn’t yet charged with. Reason being Joe Biden is very likely complicit in those crimes.

This isn’t about Hunter Biden. It’s about Joe Biden’s corruption. He did this because HE is hiding something.

[Paige90]

@blueonblack22 I totally agree

[Asker]

@paige90 💕
I not sure what is going on because I selected you for the MHO?

[OlderAndWiser]

The right thing would have been for him to resign a few years ago.

[blueonblack22]

Absolutely not. And Biden did a FULL pardon of all Hunter’s crimes including the ones he hasn’t been charge for yet. This completely proves that:

• Biden is a 100% self interested pos. He doesn’t care about the so called “rule of law”. He doesn’t care about this country
• Biden said over and over and over a few months ago that he would “not pardon Hunter”. Which is a huge lie. I always knew he was lying but still that was just so blatantly crass why would anybody of trusted this guy to begin.
• Most importantly Biden did this to cover his own ass because he is most likely complicit in Hunter’s shady business dealings.

Anyway for all you deranged leftists out there complaining about a corrupt justice system: you are actually right. If anyone of us did what a Hunter did we would be in jail right now. He evaded paying over a million in back taxes.

There is some good news. Hunter can no longer plead the fifth if he’s called to testify about his shady business dealings and how his Dad was involved. This could come back around and but Joe in the ass.

[DrPepper12]

Is the new flavor Kool aid fantasy fruit fresca? Ask Rep Comer what the "big guy" did. His committee wrote a whole report on it

[blueonblack22]

@DrPepper12 this isn’t going to be swept under the rug just because Biden pardoned Hunter. Nor will it be forgotten about just because Joe is too senile and decrepit to prosecute (which were literally Ben Hut’s words).

Americans have a right to know if old Joe made money from Hunter’s shady business dealings. A total of $31 million went to the Biden crime family through influence peddling. This included parties that are HOSTILE to America (CCP). If this turns out to be true Joe Biden will go down as the most corrupt president in American history.

Also I seem to recall you arguing with me months ago that Joe would never pardon Hunter. A lo and behold look what happened.

Biden isn't doing anything he hasn't been doing since his Obama's VP days... as far as morals go. I think the only reason he's not pardoning himself is because he knows he's about to die. I think the only reason he's pardoning his son, is because it could lead to him.

I just hope the establishment is finally going to age out... both on the left and the right. The Bushes were just as bad as this guy.

[Grond21]

I totally get wanting to pardon your own son. What father wouldn't want to keep your own child out of jail, especially if you had the power to fix it?
But Biden repeatedly lied to us that he wouldn't do this. So he has no integrity.
Additionally, and even worse, he didn't just pardon his son for the crimes he committed, he gave him a blanket get out of jail freecard for ALL crimes committed during a ten year window. A time where we know Joe used his son for dishonest and corrupt get-rich-quick schemes.

Now it is clear Biden isn't protecting his son, he is covering his own crimes.

[goaded]

He's protecting his son against another two years of being "investigated" by people who don't care if there's no there, there. You know, like the 11 separate investigations of Benghazi.

[Grond21]

How can you make a claim like that against all the evidence to the contrary?

[goaded]

How can you make a claim like that against all the evidence to the contrary?

[goaded]

Do you remember the right being this "upset" when when Donald Trump pardoned donors, cronies, extended family members, and war criminals?

[ohsheeT]

Yes and no

No because it's his kid

Yes because it just goes to show you and proves to everyone it doesn't matter what politician you are what your name is after you have gotten everything that you've wanted to get in your years of being a politician

This just proves that they're just in it for the money and the power they don't care about anything else what they're going to get out of it is what they are in it for

[AviatorTom]

He ends his career as a despot. I wonder who made this decision... that he said he would never make. Dr. Jill seems very happy with it.

Question: If the Democrats decided that Joe Biden was no longer fit to be President, and chose Kamala Harris as their candidate, does he have the legal authority to issue a pardon?

[goaded]

Of course he does, he's still president. Don't you get embarrased when you say such nonsense?

[exitseven]

He did the right thing for him and his son. The two of them get to ride off and live large on their ill gotten gains. The rest of the country has to deal with a war with Russia and 20 million illegal aliens not to mention runaway inflation and a huge crime problem.

[DrPepper12]

There are no ill-gotten gains per the GOP led Comer persecution committee report, there is not a direct war with Russia currently as confirmable by the State department, 20 million illegal aliens did not arrive within the Biden administration per Border Police stats, inflation is under control as per the federal reserve and the huge crime problem is in your mind as per FBI statistics. Stop this. It's embarrassing.

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 We are bankrolling a war with Russia. If Biden won the election it would not be long before American troops would be needed. Next year charges will be filed against JOe Biden. At least they get him for tax evasion. A real special prosecutor will have. No problem proving his connection to rhe Biden family business. Nobody knows how many illegal aliens are here. It is a lot more than is reported. The hundreds or thousands that are flown in are not counted. inflation is down but not out

[KostasKouvalis]

What he did was in the confines of the law. I'm not happy about it, but I'm not gonna hold anything against him for protecting his son. Literally any normal parent would do the same thing. I think protecting your child is the more honorable thing to do.

[Billlewis]

I'm willing to let Joe off the hook for this, if Liberals will stop clutching their pearls over Trump's bankruptcies, which were also within the confines of the law.

[DrPepper12]

That's actually fair and accurate. I'll stop bringing it up except as evidence of his lack of business acumen because it was legal and that's the purpose of bankruptcy laws. TY!

[Kayleigh2005]

Sure, minus the child p0rn, he should be shot for that

[Asker]

@kayleigh2005
Child labor and sex trafficking too

[Kayleigh2005]

Yes, I hope that list comes out

[goaded]

Those are all lies.

[DrPepper12]

It already came out! All of it! Read the committee report from the Comer impeachment investigation.

[saraupstairs]

He did what everyone knew he would do, but I don’t understand why he had to lie about it.

[FreyaRed]

Nope. Abusing his political position or last days of it, is deadly for further political career, but I don't think Joe cares anymore.

[molonski2]

Frankly it should not be an option for anyone.. what he was able to do here is ludicrous , I dont care who it is , should not matter , face the music.

[love_conquers_lust]

Don’t care. Main concern is that Democrats and Republicans both agree to get the borders under control, because the reality is it benefits both of them. I’m tired of the US being criticized and expected to support the spawn of people who can’t feed their kids when their native communities would be content to let them starve to death. If they can’t offer a better option, don’t criticize. Go through the legal process, so you know what laws to follow.

[RedInnocent69]

Do we honestly think DJT wouldn’t do the same? The problem is it has been so politicized, with Hunter being treated much harsher than others in similar circumstances. I don’t like it. But I get it.

[Jerre]

I think any father would pardon his father. But Biden should not have said he would not pardon his son for the past 1-2 years.

[Jerre]

@jennz6 Thank you for the Like Jen!

[Asker]

@Jerre 🥰
Always

[hotman5]

biden doesn't know what he's doing, he should retire

[Asker]

And let Kamala be the President?

[Anonymous]

Right thing to pardon his son. Also makes it less likely they'll investigate further and find out that he is very much implicated in what happened as well.

Wrong thing to lie repeatedly to the American people about it for political gain.

[DrPepper12]

Implicated in what? Loving his only surviving son?

[Opinion Owner]

@DrPepper12 You should try following the news.

[Anonymous]

well he sure as hell ain't pardoning those pro-life activists in jail for praying outside abortion clinics. many in this country would believe he did the right thing there

[DrPepper12]

No one is in jail for prayer. Try again.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Objectively, no because he put his son above the law, but subjectively he did the right thing.

No father or mother will let their son or daughter rott in prison if they can help it.

[Surely]

No surprise here. How many people are in jail for the same crimes or less that will have to serve their full sentences?
What is one more lie out of Joey’s mouth?

[Anonymous]

Yes. He did exactly as he was put in there to do. Hold the fort and keep the orange fool out for four years

[Crazzyyworld]

Election is over. He is out and problem solved

[saraupstairs]

Who is the president?

[Crazzyyworld]

we love dirty old man

[Amur8711]

Of course not.

Once again he and his cabinet lied to the people when constantly asked if he is going to pardon his son, they kept saying absolutely not.

[DrPepper12]

I think he read the room on Trump revenge tour and thats what caused it

[Bklynbadboy12]

Hell no im tired of all politicians they are only out for themselves. All of those old dirtbags need to go and let's get some new blood in politicians. Right now I hate Democrats and Republicans

[Massageman]

He wouldn't know "the right thing" if it bit him in the nose.

[BikerCD]

I just hate both Biden and Trump for many reasons!! Both are some reasons why this country is failing apart!!

[Iron_Man]

Well, he’s the father. What would you expect? If that was your father wouldn’t you expect it

[Twalli]

He sid the right thing as a father, but maybe not as a politician.

[noohair]

I am not surprised. This is a father and son thing.

[Anonymous]

He didn't do the right thing, he did the left thing.

[lightbulb27]

most would do the same thing.

[austinbooth]

Trump should get in sooner

[worldscolide]

No, he placed family over country.

[DrPepper12]

It's complicated and I'm conflicted in issue.

[Anonymous]

No but he's corrupt and nothing more to lose.

[goaded]

An American walks into a bar in somewhere in Ireland and sits next to a really old guy drinking a beer. And the old guy’s like, “Did you see that wall on your way into town?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I built that wall with my own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Mason? Noooo.” Then he’s like, “Did you see those cabinets on your way into the bar?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I build those cabinets with me own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Carpenter? Noooo.” Then he says, “Did you see the iron gates on the way into town?” And the guy’s like, “Yeah.” And the old man’s like, “I built those gates with me own two hands. But do they call me O’Grady the Smith? Noooo. But you fuck one goat…”

Biden's watched one son die and his other son be pestered for years and indicted for things that would have been a plea deal for anyone with another last name, and he pardoned him. Joe's been in public service for decades and he never got "rich" until a few years ago (and that's nothing like Musk or even Trump rich).

[FunkyMonkee]

Has he ever?
