President Joe Biden’s 180-degree flip on Sunday from his promise not to pardon his son Hunter Biden prompted fierce backlash from politicians and pundits, calling the move a “tremendous strategic blunder that will haunt Democrats,” “the worst thing a president could possibly do to his party” and “the biggest public corruption scandal ever.”

    And that’s why these incompetent morons lost to Trump in the first place. They just can’t help themselves with their useless norms, appearances and public gossip. Nobody gives a shit about that. You either deliver for working people or they will vote for anyone that represents as anti-elite. Because nobody can stand you and would punch you in the face 10/10 times if they could get away with it.

    The amount of fucking cowards in our government is absolutely disgusting. Have these pansies never had to do anything hard in their entire fucking life or what?

    Raw Story asked nine Democratic senators what they thought of Biden pardoning Trump, who has faced nearly 100 criminal charges across two state and two federal indictments — prompting reactions from laughter to dodging.

    Sounds like a nothing burger. It won’t go anywhere. Media trying to divide people and one DINO trying to setup his next job.

    That worked so well after Nixon’s resignation. We haven’t really had any problems with executive overreach or corruption since then. /s

    “the biggest public corruption scandal ever.”

    Fuck off until you come so far around that you can fuck off again.
