Wow, they really stuck it to Old Man Joe on the Twitters, huh? Bet he’s really stinging from this crowdsourced rebuke courtesy of all the MAGA users who took exception to his pardon.
Anyway, remember that old “process crimes” chestnut from back during the Mueller investigation? It was what Trump fanboys said minions like Paul Manafort and Roger Stone were hit with because those were easier offenses to prosecute and leverage their cooperation with the larger probe into the fat fuck’s traitorous alliance with the Kremlin, as if they weren’t actual crimes. That’s pretty much what happened to Hunter, but the crimes were even more picayune and he tried to resolve them with a plea deal. And that the larger investigation into the “Biden Crime Family” was a fucking dead end and a waste of time, far more so than the Trump-Russia investigation ever was.
Finally, and most pertinently, Trump pardoned all of those fucking worms too – after having dangled the possibility of a pardon to get them to hold out on cooperating, which they definitely did. That just might be kind of a bigger deal than Biden simply reversing a pledge to not pardon Hunter.
So our official editorial stance is you are entitled to take issue with Joe pardoning Hunter and/or walking back on his pledge not to, so long as you also took issue with Trump pardoning his minions as a recompense for keeping quiet during the Mueller investigation – as well as Steve Bannon separately, since he literally ripped off Trump fans donating to build a stupid border wall. If however you find yourself outraged at the Bidens but also said Trump’s pardons were justified then you can go fuck yourself with a pine cone. You cannot and will not be taken seriously here.
