Biden has always been a piece of shit. That said, he’s old, his other son is dead, and his loser son got caught up in a shitstorm that had less to do with justice and everything to do with politics and optics. The country decided that it is happy to go down the a fully corrupt, inept and fascist rabbit hole, and Biden opted to save his loser son and tell everyone to go fuck themselves and go suck an mushroom shaped cock.
but
EDIT: Don’t get mad at an old man for choosing to save his son. Be mad at a system that allows a man to abuse his power to protect his friends and family from consequences. For once, a proper use of “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.
I’m not surprised or shocked he did it. Only saddened he refuses to do anything else
Big time
At least the chair is warm, I guess.
I can hate both, I’m pretty good at it
In this case the players make the game at least a bit.
Biden issued a blanket pardon starting in 2014. What was Hunter Biden doing in 2014 and how does this reflect on the idea of him simply passively getting “caught up” in something?
This is a great and nuanced comment.
Comments like this are the reason I keep coming back to Lemmy.
Couldn’t have said this better. Memes and all. Kudos.
Him pardoning his son is a giant nothing burger.
Hunter was the victim of a partisan witch hunt that wanted to get him on Trumped up charges (pun intended) because of his last name.

Indeed, it’s just the Right Wing Media giving us more “It’s only wrong when Democrats do it” bullshit.
The real story shouldn’t even be “Biden protects son from Partisan Witchhunt” it should be “Trump returns to White House despite the 14th Amendment saying he can’t.”
it should be “Trump returns to White House despite the 14th Amendment saying he can’t.”
I agree, if only there had been someone in charge of a government agency with the mandate to go after people like that, using a system of laws and justice, administered in some kind of court… Ideally someone the offender didn’t appoint themselves, with a time period of roughly, idk, 4 years to get it done?
TRUMP runs on ethnic clensing, claims he won’t project 2025, wins, immediately puts authors of 2025 in every key position. Convicted of over 30 felonies, convicted rapist, says ‘‘there will be some hardship’’ while selling is economic strategies that will destroy US economy, wants to stop billions a day in trade from Mexico. Refuses to appoint anyone that can pass a background check. Decides he doesn’t need to even PRETEND hell be lawful and ethical, caught on hot mic taking about disarming citizens. .
- soft to no press coverage . Biden pardons his son. .
- entire newscycle every day dedicated to the ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE this grievous crime is. Now the Presidential office is forever tainted… . It’s hard to even grasp how deeply loyal to Trump these institutions are.
Especially since Hunter Biden was unfairly targeted just for being Joe’s son, and it’s clear the things he’s guilty of are clear examples of selective enforcement.
Anyone paying even the slightest attention just saw a father who was there for his son in his time of need.
And there are tens of thousands of people in that exact position but didn’t get pardoned because they don’t have that last name.
Like, he could have blanked pardoned that particular crime in general, but I presume that would have been too much paperwork and might have been too close to actually doing something good for his people.

I have nothing to add to this, I agree
It totally and completely is. I mean, it’s immoral and shitty, it’s a rich white person getting off because of connections, but that’s par for the course. It is expected. The annoying thing though, is the hypocrisy of a lot of the posters here. If Trump did something like this, they would be up in arms about how undemocratic and banana republic-like this all is. And this childish Harry Potter morality which determines how bad a thing is not by looking at the thing itself and its consequences but by looking at who’s doing the thing really gets to me.
Seriously, who cares? Voting this year showed everyone no one fucking cares. If you really care about punishing those who committed crimes, go after the convicted felon that will never see a day in prison. Get over it

Given the circumstances, I’d have vastly restructured the entire government using some Official Acts
This is a blatant abuse of power by a totally incompetent President who represents a party of foolish woke children. But, by all means keep crying Orange Man Bad… the vast majority of the population disagree.
Small bit of relative truth mixed with hypocrisy, dog-whistle, complaint, misunderstanding of word, misunderstanding of concept or voting population.
You hit all the highlights, personally i’d have gone with more dogwhistles, maybe something to do with immigrants ?
A solid 8/10 shitpost.
Vast means large btw, as in big.
Winning the popular vote, remember that’s the thing the libs were bitching about for years, is a win. What makes it large is also winning the house, senate, and gaining ground in almost every county across the USA. You are right, that’s not just big, it’s a landslide. The American people spoke clearly, the bullshit you likely support is over. Take the loss.
Moving goalpoats, unrelated, more goalpost moving, claiming victory without any actual rebuttal, semi-truth, hope stated as fact, implication of stance not actually taken.
Hmm, a bit derivative but overall a solid entry, not as good as the last, still no immigrant references, i’ll give this a 7/10 shitpost.
Hey, if you want to reinterpret what “vast majority” in the context of a political win means, you do you.
Every single news outlet reported it as a landslide. Kamala, the DEI incompetent candidate was told she sucked by the majority of voters. Ill assume you wasted your vote on her.
Easily provable lie, hope stated as fact, victory claimed on position never stated.
Come on guy it’s like you aren’t even trying anymore.
Still no immigrants, not even an LGBT ? Really?
lacklustre 2/10 shitpost, must try harder.

in fairness that last one did use the phrase “vast majority” to describe the number of counties that shifted to red, not the actual number of votes
I know i highlighted the difference between the two statements but i’m not expecting you to understand how statistics works or acknowledge the difference so don’t strain yourself.
MA-JOR-ITY.
If this happened to Kamala you would be doing back flips at the gay rights parade. But it didn’t. It didn’t even come close. Get ready for actual common sense leadership, smaller government, and the majority of Americans being united in making America Great again.
Good things are right around the corner.

Low turnout meaning the 15 million liberal ‘voters’ that only ever showed up in the last election, LMFAO.
The Democrats got told by the Bigly Majority of American Citizens…We are done with your bullshit. Maybe you should go to a safe space and try to calm your emotions?
I think Trump should send all Democratic voters a participation ribbon, you know, to make them feel less like a loser.

“vast majority” lul
Are people still shocked by this stuff? I just expect them to do whatever they want like they all have been for years.
I’m GLAD Biden understands the SEVERITY of the Upcoming Trump Presidency and is doing EVERYTHING he can to Protect the American People and NOT just His Family!
The upcoming Trump presidency and everything that comes with it is the Americans people’s fault.
To quote a friend of mine, “Joe Biden is the used car salesman his daddy always wanted to be.”
In the sense that a cat leaves you to die; he is crawling off to expire.

Without timing, it’s not comedy, it’s just a cry for attention.
How so? I honestly thought it was funny.
Edit: I read it a few times and now I get it. That wasn’t my intention. I’m sorry to those I offended.
ITT: people who wouldn’t lift a finger to save their family from a corrupt incoming DoJ
Biden is sharpening the knife that will be used against every other family while saving his crackhead failson.
Biden is not sharpening the knife: he simply placed a knife sharpener on the counter and is a good sport about letting others use it .
It always was a caretaker presidency, that’s what I thought when he first got into office.
I expect thoughtful words from his speeches as he gently leaves office
The Biden admin is already going after Palestinian solidarity orgs and ramping up powers to use the military domestically.
If that was Biden’s motivation, then where is Fauci’s pardon? Or Adam “Enemy from Within” Schiff’s pardon? Or what about Liz Chenney who is supposed to face treason charges according to Trump, where is her pardon? What about Jack Smith, where is his pardon? Kash Patel has an appendix in his book which is a literal enemies and prosecution list, any pardons for anyone on that list?
If Biden was concerned about the Trump justice department going after his political enemies, and Biden wanted to protect those people, there’s probably 80+ pardons he should be handing out.
But instead he only issued one. For his son. So Biden is either actually concerned about overreach of the Trump justice department but he’s only willing to save his son, and leave everyone else hanging. Or, Biden isn’t actually that concerned with the Trump justice department and is just abusing his pardon power to protect his shithead son from the consequences of his own actions. Either way, fuck Joe Biden.
I’ll entertain that argument once he’s no longer president and can no longer give those other pardons.
Hey bby. How’d that work out?
If I were a career politician I would simply not raise a crackhead.
Nevermind elected officials in power… let’s point out the cowardice of people in a Lemmy thread.
in the meme board, at that, lmao, of all places
He has nothing to lose, #YOLO.
He protected his own, and proved we weren’t a part of it.
full agreement with the message but you’re gonna get clowned on by sycophants
They’re busy kicking and spitting on Palestinians.

Meanwhile over at .world they scream kick and belittle and while pissing on the floor on the way out say at least they aren’t one of the bad communities without a sense of irony.
Presidents are kings now. Scrotus said so. Blame them.
May I ask, why does this get so downvoted?😅
The bad .world instance has access to this instance, and they absolutely hate when you insult their God king or their preferred side of the uniparty.
Not all of the downvotes are from .world, and quite a few of the upvotes are from .world. It’s best not to overgeneralize.
Yeah, I’d want to hear an opinion from someone who actually downvoted it, cuz I still dont exactly get what’s wrong with the meme that would give it such a bad score.😅
I’d be willing to bet a significant amount of the downvotes stem from this meme being nearly indistinguishable from something that gets posted on Parlor or Truth Social.
I don’t think truth social would equate Trump’s presidency as “leaving someone to die”
Because if Biden refused to leave that would be pretty shitty… you know, to reject the results of an election.

I doubt they’re the ones that see anything wrong with this.
Ops point is that he watches Murdoch media, and they didnt mention anything.
That’s why trump won. He consumed the news cycle with his temper tantrums whilst the adults were out working
A quick Google however has lots of lists of things he accomplished https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046
What is your favorite flavor of boot, personally?
I’m quite partial to black leather, good thing that will be in fashion next year.
Dang, telegram is working over time today flooding Lemmy with propaganda, oops I’m mean “memes” looks like I was right
Memes can be propaganda lmao
yeah… thanks for clarifying my point.
Yeah, but I mean that don’t be surprised if you see memes with propaganda during the US election season
We are trying to get Donald Trump to win the election from Kamala Harris. Don’t tell anyone the secret!
Nice try but a vote for anyone other than Joe Biden is a vote for Trump.
oh, no. I’m being challenged!
“Haha, I’m gonna say Rogan, telegram, Russia or Altright and fuck off because I have no opinion outside of spoonfed leftist media, haha”
The only difference between you and a Trump voter was the position of your hand on the ballot.
