I literally don’t care about the Hunter pardon. Trump pardoned Russian spies. I think pardoning a child for a dumb drug offence is fine. 🤷♂️
a dumb drug offence is fine.
So when will democrats support full legalization of all drugs?

His son is hardly a child at 54 years old. Biden is also responsible for thousands of people behind bars because of “a dumb drug offense”.
I don’t think that Trump should be the bar for morality and ethics in this country. It’s lazy to bring him into this conversation.
You’re right. I should have said “his son” instead.
His son is hardly a child at 54 years old.
I’m sure parents always will see their children as children, no matter their age.
I’m specifically talking about the silly framing of “a child” rather than “his child”
Going back three decades when everyone thought a “war on drugs” would be a good idea is also lazy to bring into this conversation. As President, Biden freed more victims of that war than all other presidents
You prohibitionists set the stage for fascism take over. Was it worth it?
-
Biden sponsored the crime bill that put those people behind bars in the first place.
-
Biden abused his powers to pardon his son for crimes that other people will remain in prison for. Crimes that are more severely punished because of Biden.
Its actually quite relevant to the conversation
-
And America has proven nobody cares except the Democrats who don’t vote for high horse reasons son who cares.
All drugs should be legal.
We all know humanity will refuse to unclench our collective butthole regarding capitalism during our lives. At least let us get high as fuck on whatever we want while we wage slave to barely make it.
Perhaps it’s more about the working class suffering then it is about money and power. Remarkable if that’s true.
Tell Biden drugs should be legal to his face he’d have you enslaved at your nearest private prison. This is how little of a shit he gives about criminals and their upbringing. He should have kept that same energy, but as always, rules are for the poors.

Meth? Crack? Fentanyl?
Not many would use fent if they had access to untainted heroin of a known potency
Yes.
Making drugs illegal doesn’t stop use. It just makes it essentially impossible to know you’re getting a clean supply that isn’t laced with something else, or accidentally 100x as strong and it kills you. Plus it does nothing to address why these people felt the need to turn to these highly addictive and deadly drugs. If anything it makes the problem worse.
Based.
Yes you need the support in place also otherwise it just gets worse.
If everything else was legal, people would stop dying from drugs laced with fent.
there are so many other people’s children in jail for dumb drug offences…
…That Biden specifically helped put there with his drug and police laws.
Finished that sentence for you.
Here is the only issue I have with the pardon. Once Kamala lost, Biden should have started to go hog wild with last minute shenanigans in order to give Americans things they actually need. Instead he decided to pardon Hunter a full month before leaving office rather than helping us out and doing the pardon on the last day. Now, even if he does do things that will help Americans, nobody will notice because of the pardon.
Who cares if anyone notices the good being done? Do it anyways. How does this prevent that?
Dems need someone to notice if they want to ever have a chance at the big chair before the 2030’s.
Now, even if he does do things that will help Americans, nobody will notice because of the pardon.
I don’t know why you’re so concerned for Genocide Joe’s legacy, but if his last 47 months are any indication, he’s unlikely to uncharacteristically give Americans what they actually need in his 48th.
Eh, he’s been pretty good over all. We’ve had better, though the list of worse Presidents is a bit longer. Over all, Joe did step up and get more done than expected for what felt like a forced square into a round hole situation. What he might not have done was solve YOUR issues.
The issue wasn’t his full term. The issue became his last handful of months and the absolute atrocity that is the DNC communication strategy.
I think the absolute atrocity was the genocide in Israel but then again I’m not a democrat.
I’m not saying it’s okay, but to give some historical context, literally every president of the past 80 years and the next 5 presidents would have and will do what Biden has done towards Israel.
It’s part of America’s foreign policy, which means there’s literally nothing we can do about, anyone hanging ones hat upon that alone is foolish. It sucks a lot and fuck Israel, but having America taking a hard-line against Israel is like asking water to stop being wet or Matt Gaetz to stop looking punchable
Id consectetur dolore eiusmod culpa.
Let’s face it for elites… They are not American, they are Elites that use America as their playground … The Biden tanked the Harris campaign out of spite and don’t care who gets in as it doesn’t really affect them.
These are extremely rich people… Unless we are in Red China, they have nothing to fear
Id consectetur dolore eiusmod culpa.
None taken, however my comment and yours can both be true which is my concern…
From various reports it would seem that President Biden is quite a nasty little thing that, with his wife, have a very overinflated view of themselves… (what président doesn’t I guess) however he has been vindictive for being ousted for the president debste(which was a no brainer…) and honestly I truly believe that he did on purpose to tank Harris.
She has herself to blame for sure however, even Bill Clinton through his speach about the middle eastern conflict stired up the wrong tone…
The democratic party is in need to a cleanup… Then again I would say the same of the republican as well as they are under the leadership of a loon… (thinking of Black Adder with King George III)
Id consectetur dolore eiusmod culpa.
Yo, we’re in Trump land now, Fascism already won my dudes. Biden is just seeing the writing on the wall and adapting to the change. Trump already pardoned Jared Kushner’s criminal dad, so why not pardon your own son now? The game is changed and if you’re still holding on to ethical ideals you’re a fool. At the very least Biden is making sure they can’t chase his son as part of a witch hunt next year.
People voted for Trump or failed to turn out for Kamila, either way everyone now needs to get used to the new norm.
EDIT: The irony of blasting Biden for going against his word in his son’s best interest while Trump is about to become president is the most laughable hypocrisy I’ve ever seen. If this group is actually just a bunch of super leftist and not foreign manipulation then I look forward to watching y’all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine, the US leaves NATO, and western democracy collapses.
Not a USAmerican, so not exactly talking about the politics, but some issues.

Why not?
It’s not like Trump is supported by the leftists in lemmy.It just shows them that Biden is not very different from Trump. They have been saying that and pushing for 3rd parties or other President nominees.
Biden chooses to do this rather than set guardrails or do something to ensure that Trump is not given free reign.This is further validation for their view.
And since Trump becoming president is a grave thing, does it mean that the Democrats are bad, because they have not done enough to stop it?
I look forward to watching y’all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine, the US leaves NATO, and western democracy collapses.
Palestine is being wiped out even under Biden.
US leaving Nato would be big, but we can never know how the effects would be like, right?I look forward to watching y’all eat crow as Israel wipes out Palestine
Wow, the liberals are straight up admitting their monstrous racism now?
the US leaves NATO
This would be good for the Global South, which is why Trump won’t do it
and western democracy collapses.
The West hasn’t had a workable implementation of Democracy to begin with, though if you finally recognize that are you going to sit out or do something about it?
