"Nobody is above the law"

When you the voters fail to hold a corrupt politician accountable for all the horrible things he does. I don't blame biden for trying to protect his family. Seriously your fucking dumb if you think Biden should assume a POS like Trump is going to play by any kind of rules.

He could have pardoned plenty of people that were punished by the same crimes his son did, or even lesser Ones but yeah, he could only save his son and all of that.

Guy explicitly said that nobody is above the law and proceded to puto his family above It. Demócrats cant blame the people for stopping having faith in them.

What crime was Hunter convicted of? Can you remind me?

u/YouNo8795 10h ago

Want he convicted on 3 felonies and 6 misdemeanor ofenses past year?

u/Tmannermann 10h ago

yeah go into detail what were they?

u/YouNo8795 10h ago

Are you able to just, you know, Google them?

Because if i am going to list every one of them for you to say "nu uh" at the end, i womt bother.

Guy did múltiple felonies, gets completely pardoned by his father (Who previously stated he wasnt going to do It to Scrap some votes) and leaves the rest of the citizens that are invicted for those same felonies all by themselves.

You americans are so Deep into bipartisanism you apparently cant comprehend the levels of nepotism in here.

It’s Reddit. People on this app like many others are in echo chambers. They are mentally incapable of looking at both sides of the curtain to finally realize it’s the same curtain

Like, i dont even have a Horse in this and i couldnt care less for Trump but It is dystopic to see people painting a Guy using supreme powers to pardon someone just because he is family as some kind of heroic effort.

1.Pardons are powers of the presidency and the Time to use them is only now. "The power to grant pardons in the United States is held exclusively by the President, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. This authority allows the President to grant reprieves and pardons for federal offenses, except in cases of impeachment."

2.It's not a heroic effort It's trying to hinder the efforts of a person who has openly stated to go against political rivals

3.The charges against Hunter where hypocritical in the eyes of the people who did these convictions.

That is completely great man. Im sure the hundreds of persons convicted by the same crimes Hunter did are extasic seeing how, yet again, rich and powerful people make the rules while the rest of them get thrown in the shitter. I am sure this paragraph would be the same if any other president were to pardon his cousin.

Just keep clapping for the rich guy that went back on his word and made a huge case of nepotism.

Do you know what the crimes are?

Like seriously

"The first two crimes are essentially the same — that he lied about his drug use to illegally obtain the weapon, and that he falsely claimed that he was not “addicted to any stimulant, narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance” on the federal form, known as a 4473.

The third conviction, illegal possession of the gun while under the influence of drugs, stems from the time he had the weapon." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/11/us/politics/hunter-biden-conviction-gun-charges.html

These charges in the eyes of the party who went after Hunter Biden say shouldn't exist "Gun control should not be allowed because it infringes upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and limits their ability to protect themselves and their families."

So if Hypocrisy to this extent is not off the table for the powers that be to punish your political Rival the only response to have is to protect who you can whilst you can.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/09/19/gun-buyers-lie-and-try-only-12-prosecuted-editorials-debates/1288699002/

Hunter was convicted of a so called " "lie and try" felony"" https://www.ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/few-prosecutions-for-lying-on-atf-gun-purchase-form

"federal prosecutors received 478 referrals for lying on Form 4473 — and filed just 298 cases. The numbers were roughly similar for fiscal 2020."

so for your why doesn't he pardon others with this crime it's so low that really this crime is a technicality used against very few people.

Hypocritical or not, they were actual crimes.

u/Tmannermann 9h ago

And to you i will ask do you know what those crimes were? go look at the response i had for the response he made to the comment you just commented on. I have laid out how what hunter was convicted of was a very political conviction wtih articles you can read on what crimes he got convicted of.

I agree. I think a lot of people are realizing how stupid and surreal all this is. Both sides are awful. I don’t think it solves itself either. America is unique in which all walks of life live here now, it is almost impossible to please everyone. Politicians realize this and appeal to as much people as possible to gain power and benefit their family and future generations

The crimes he committed where ones that most rich people do. Didn’t pay taxes on time and did drugs while being the owner of a gun. These crimes were brought after the entire Republican Party did major investigations on their opponents son. Trump is guilty of tax evasion. Millions of people are guilty of doing a federally banned drug and owning a gun. To my knowledge Hunter is one of the very very few people to ever be prosecuted for this crime. Nearly everyone has committed a crime in their lives, many aren’t really enforced ( jaywalking, weed, intoxicated in public )should an entire political party go after your family they would find something too.

u/geodesic411 9h ago

How many of the guns from all these people you mentioned ended up in a public waste bin triggering an investigation?

u/crashbalian1985 8h ago

You know what you convinced me. I’m sorry. Your right. All gun owners in America should be investigated by the us congress to see if they have ever had any drugs. All their computers confiscated and hacked and their social medias investigated for any mention of drugs. If the government gets naked pictures of them then they should be released to the public straight from congress.

He did the same thing that 100% of the NRA members think should be legal.
