If the president himself is afraid that the justice system will not protect him and his family from wrongful convictions - where does this leave commoners? Or is Biden aware of something which he and his family is guilty of - that will not escape criminal prosecution?

These pardons deeply undermine everyones trust in the fairness of American legal system.

You literally have an authoritarian president now. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump just ignores the pardons and uses his authoritarian power to investigate them anyways... meanwhile GOP will watch and kiss the ring.

Edit - And the justice system is already untrustworthy, considering the Trump cases. Any person with a basic understanding of legal law understands Trump was cooked, but instead he got away with it all.

So, there is no American Justice.

Why is fantasy lore so popular amongst the leftists? We get it, you want to be able to hang out with your homies and tell them you know personally what it feels like to be oppressed

May your complicated hand shakes be at half mass today

The American people voted Trump into office. Maybe you should just deal with it, you just said you were fine? No?

Half mass...

I remember when Biden won and all of the fantasy stories they would make up about the stock market crashing (it went to the highest levels in history), oil production (also highest level in history), fake weird fantasies about children you all had... etc.

Nothing happened. The world healed. The market recovered. Now it all falls apart again.

Obviously only day 1, but you should save this and come back when it really does hit the fan.

I remember you being super vocal when trump pardoned everyone in his circle for open corruption.

Biden in his last few minutes pardoned all his extended family members with the same blanket preemptive pardons.

These are the last acts of a petty tyrant, one paranoid of retribution. He fears Trump will do unto Biden as Biden did unto Trump. Four years of Biden trying to get Trump imprisoned, locking up Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, locking up protesters from January 6th like the "grandma who silently prayed'. He locked up peope who violated the covid lockdowns, he conspired with social media to censor and suppress his critics, he had his DoJ declare concerned parents as terrorists for attending parent teacher conferences.
What didn't Biden do?
He didn't fix the economy and tackle inflation. He didn't end the wars in Ukraine or Israel. He didn't make us competitive with China.
Trump is going into office with that as his agenda. Not persecuting Biden and his family

Name me a more shameful and disgraceful moment by a president post nixon. Hell, this is worse than nixon. Nixon cheated his rivals to get an edge. Biden abused his powers to try to imprison his enemies like a tyrant and cowered in fear of facing the same from his successor, oblivious to the priorities of a non tyrant.

I said in the other thread, the debate today is whether Joe Biden will go down as one of the worst presidents in US history or the single worst president. What is worse, consciously destructive petty acts of tyranny and abuse of power that we are strongn enough to overcome as a functional democracy, or glaring acts of negligence that spiral us into civil war like Buchanan. Should we judge Biden from his impotency or his malintent

The worse part was there was no empathy from the administration, when commenting on the problems Americans were dealing with we were met with responses akin to "Let them eat cake"

I will disagree with you on Nixon though, he did nothing wrong and it was a successful coup against him by the FBI.
Nixon was arguably one of the best presidents in the 20th century, that's why he had to go.

So far I have seen Trump push his and his wife's crypto. Trump promised multiple times to have the war in Ukraine sorted out before even becoming president. It still rages on.

Trump is once again being handed a silver platter with record stock market, oil production, lower inflation, etc. These are ALL VERIFABLE FACTS

Trump is rated one of the worst presidents of all time, and is likely going to break that record, somehow.

Nixon got caught cheating in an era where spying on your rivals was unthinkable. Obama did worse and got caught and nobody cared. In both cases, Obama and Nixon, using their powers to gain political edge by illegally spying on rivals- the only victims were their rivals. Americans don't have as much reason to care about palace intrigue and conspiracy if its just another way to make the sausages.

But Biden spent four years weaponizing his DoJ against private citizens. He targeted random ass protesters, total nobodies. He tried to censor the internet, and forced a covid mandate on private employers and coordinated with state governments for snitch lines and went after parents and did his raids against rivals in full public view instead of secret so we'd all know the consequences of opposing the dNC

Nixon didn't roll our the barbed wire fences and snipers on the roofs
