An early Christmas present from President Joe Biden to MAGA voters

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/12/why-presidents-pardon-of-his-son-hunter.html

The Pardon is an Expression of the Desires of the American Electorate

This is what the voters wanted. Maybe they didn't specifically mean Hunter Biden should get off, but they did vote against the rule of law, at least half of them did, in affirming Trump for a second term. So Hunter being pardoned by his father is exactly the same thing, it is right up that very same alley. Important, prominent people should be immune to prosecution for their crimes, that's the message. There is no respect for the rule of law, powerful, wealthy people should be able to do as they please without limits. So no limits, here, the President pardoned his son and that is perfectly consistent with the voters wishes.

It would have been patently unfair for Hunter Biden to spend any time at all in prison, while Trump spends no time in prison for committing crimes much worse in their offense to the American people, considering that so many voters don't give a damn about it. So if they don't care, why should anyone else? I sure don't.

So President Biden presented those voters who supported Trump with an early Christmas present. Someone getting away with a crime simply because of their money, power and influence. Merry Christmas, MAGAts.

of the party and have their credentials revoked.

I can understand Manchin, the independent who always wanted to be fair and stupidly consider both sides while acting ignorant of what the other side had done, coming out with some really stupid and characteristically ignorant statements. But any other Democrat who is not happy with this needs to re-educate themselves in reality, because they don't know what they are saying, and they are making themselves sound like idiots.
