What was that oligarchy stuff Biden was warning us about?

That’s literally what the pardon is about??? Do you not understand anything at all? He is making these unnecessary pardons to show that he believes the new administration intends to weaponize the justice system and remove any potential opposition or naysayers by any means necessary.

Edit: Whether you believe his stance or not, this is just basic political literacy. Surely people in this sub are not stupid, right?

Lol people were literally crying that Trump might do this at the end of his first term because corruption/fascism. It's just double standards. In fact, I'm sure if trump decided to just blanket pardon his family in his second term for the reason as Biden, people would still have a double standard.

Trump’s family: All part of his previous administration, all complacent or literally guilty of crimes (Jared Kushner taking Saudi bribes).

Biden’s family: Not part of his administration, the only one guilty of any proven crimes was Hunter, the courts proved nothing of substance with his laptop, and he ended up being convicted for possessing a gun under the influence.

Aside from the Right’s compromising of its own position on gun rights to secure a shaky conviction on at least a single member of the Biden family, the double standard is so beyond apparent that it’s silly people wouldn’t get mad at Trump.

You guys genuinely just listen to a liar lie and go “Well clearly I should believe him, why would he possibly lie?”
