It's incredibly sad to see Democrats embrace hypocrisy with pride regarding a simple and obvious issue like this.
Trump will have a field day pardoning Jan 6 criminals with this additional political cover from Biden.
He was going to do those J6 pardons anyways, don't kid yourself. He didn't need "additional cover".
*Biden was going to do this pardon anyway, don't kid yourself believing his constant lies.
Conservatives keep breathing air too, did they need permission from liberals to do that too?
Don't mistake every action for a reaction. This is a mess but they were gonna do this and worse always, anyways, they already have.
Don't mistake hypocrisy for meaningful principles.
No silly, he was going to have Kamala do it.
Too bad that that bridge has sailed....
A sycophant is much better than a nepotist
Lol and that's why you voted for Trump, right?
Why do you sycophants look at Trump as a litmus test for good behavior?
What? Statements by the utterly deranged!
Like he needed that cover. Remember how he pardoned war criminals in his last days back in 2020?
Hypocrisy is a victimless crime right
First part is true. It is sad and even a pretty respectable president has taken a fuck it attitude toward nepotism. Second part of your statement is silly though. Trump is shameless criminal, no amount of "cover" is needed - he was going to pardon those traitors regardless.
If democracy ever re-emerges in some other time or place, hopefully they won't give this power to presidents. It's ridiculous and heavily abused throughout history.
Why don't you cool it with the American exceptionalism? There are lots of countries that are still democratic, and have been more democratic than the US for many decades.
Just because US democracy has failed doesn't mean it's failed globally. Sit down for a bit, shut up, fix your own shit, try not to start an illegal war for a while, and then re-join us when you're ready.
Where? France? South Korea? Germany? India? Wake up - democracy crumbling isn't an isolated Amerocentric phenomenon.
Trump has now won twice because of Dem incompetence and hypocrisy.
Dems moving to the right is not irrelevant to Trump's existence in office.
