Thats why Democrats are Democrats ; say one thing and do exactly the opposite ! Thats why Katmala LOST ! LIE , LIE LIKE A RUG !!!! 🎃
The pardon extending as far back as 2014 and beyond the scope of his conviction 🤔
joe will cover the entire family, the whole pay for favors scheme sold by hunter to various enemy states…they all took the dirty money.
I'm just here for the hypocritical comments.
He's an embarrassment to his family
Trump would’ve done the same thing. “ANY” parent would. We are charged with protecting our children, no matter their age. Good on you Joe!
"Facing sharp criticism"
Whoo- WHEE!
Do you think these two Criminal Traitors CARE?
They're laughing at your dumb self.
"Have a nice day"
That is why you are one of the most evil and untrustworthy president in US history!
😂😂😂😂 chew on that one trump clunies
If u show me an honest politician, i ll show u cows can climb trees in india
I don’t wanna hear it from Republicans. They are the worst.
Anyone who has been paying attention knows exactly why these people don't want Kash Patel as FBI director. All the right people are scared. "The list" will be declassified and people are going to prison.
Why is anyone surprised? Joe Biden and the democrats have lied to the American people since day one.
Trump pardon his father-in-law. Worst criminal out there. Look it up.
What a pathetic animal Joe Biden is. He has left behind a legacy of lies, betrayal to my country, and crime. How could anyone have supported him to begin with?
You put President Trump in prison and Joe Biden put his son in prison
You mean the democrats didnt think the system was already corrupt?
That’s great, it’s okay that President Biden can do something for his family after serving our country so well.
Biden only manipulated liberals, they’re the only fools that believed him. Weak minded morons
The FACT is that the 2020 Election WAS STOLEN…. bidens Anti American Politics proves just that.
DEMS SPENT 4 YRS SAYING NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW FROM 2016 TO 2020 ONLY !
No consequences like usual. If it was you or I we would be in jail . This double standard is sickening . I can almost guarantee you hunter Biden is throwing a crack party with lots of prostitutes tonight !!!!!! Probably on our tax dollars!!!!!
5 and half years sober? Who brought the blow into the White House?
Good call. Trump has nominated three stooges–scary, slow, and squirrely–to top positions in our Justice Department. Best that Hunter be protected. (Nobody really cares about his "scandal" anyway.) And if the Republicans feel like Biden's flipping them off on his way out the door, even better! 😆
Flat out liar
Who wants to bet. When trump starts issuing pardons the democrats and the media will be outraged and demand impeachment
Tax fraud is unfair? Says everyone locked up in jail. Didnt this jag off run on the rich paying taxes 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
FREE EDWARD SNOWDEN
"Undermines confidence in the justice system." Like there's any left. Biden wouldn't have to pardon Hunter if the Democrats won.
They don't complain about Trump.
I think Joe Biden intended on doing this all along and taking that money from Russia and China as well Joe Biden aint so lazy when it comes to fleecing the flock. The Bidens walked away with millions off the American presidency and left the people broke.
How disgusting!!!!
He did right nothing wrong with what he done since they only came after him because of his father
What's this bull about fallout?…nobody's surprised that Joe made sure his son would be ok…. you gonna tell me trump would've let his son rot…. you gonna tell me you would've let your son ror?……GTFOH
Democratic party turned out to be Autocratic and communist 🤡🤣
The audacity of him to claim he was "Selectively and Unfairly Prosecuted" after crafting and enforcing a crime bill that targeted and devastated the Black Community.
Good for Biden.
Joe pardons Hunter for petty and imaginary crimes. Trump wants to pardon the J6 attackers.
Pardon me?!
