There have in fairness been the rare Democrat voice objecting to the pardon of Hunter Biden although we have also gotten defenses of the pardon from the View and this gem from MSNBC because, well it’s MSNBC:
Yep, that’s the real problem, it makes these Never Trump guys look bad.
and as Professor Jacobson notes there is something that they find even worse….
That’s why the Democrats are angry. They’re not angry that Joe Biden pardoned his son. They’re not angry that he lied about it for years. They’re angry that they feel that this had given an advantage to Trump. That’s what the anger is about on the Democrat side, and the Never-Trump side. It’s complete anger that they feel that Joe Biden has handed Trump a potential victory, and that’s what they’re upset about.
What does it come down to? The sin of Pride, pride to keep from consequences, pride in that “we’re better than Trump” and pride in thinking the only problem with corruption is it embarrasses them.
There is a reason why Pride is the 1st of the deadly sins, because it excuses so many others.
Blackjack Hardy: [Chairman of the Board] Let’s put it to a vote [his gang on the board all raise their hands, and then Maverick does]
Doc Holiday: [To Maverick] You’re voting to rob your own bank?
Bart Maverick:I’ve had enough respectability to last me a lifetime Doc. [clears throat speaking to the Blackjack Hardy gang now on the Bank board] Gentleman we have about $40,000 in the safe now, in two weeks we could double it, in a month we could if this craze holds out we could triple it but There is just one thing that could stop us.
Blackjack Hardy:We’re listening.
Bart Maverick: If ah, anyone finds out that YOU [indicating blackjack] have anything to do with managing the bank I’m afraid I could never stop another run on it.
Blackjack Hardy:I’ll kill the first dirty varmint that opens his big yap!
Bart Maverick:Then you promise to stay in the background and let me run the bank? You want to vote on it?
Blackjack Hardy: [Indicating the rest of his gang on the board] They vote yes.
Bart Maverick:Ah, well in that case I’ll call a small temporary dividend let’s say $10,000 just enough to cover a small celebration party.
Little Sonny Hardy: Ten Thousand is a rather large dividend for a party isn’t it Mr. Maverick?
Bart Maverick: I’m just trying to show my good faith.
Blackjack Hardy:Ah the meeting is sojourned, [Sonny Clears his throat] Ah it’s finished it’s over gimme that bag [with the $10k in it]. You know banking is a thirsty business. [To the gang] C’mon Let’s go.
Maverick: A Technical Error 1961
Let’s start with some basic facts out of the way first.
Joe Biden, is corrupt pol, who has gotten rich off the government. He has milked his position all his life. He has stolen a national election to become President [with the quiet cooperation of those who could have stopped him but hated Donald Trump more than they loved their duty]. After the election he has used the office to enrich his allies and himself while persecuting his political enemies including grandmothers praying at Clinics and parents complaining at school board meetings and sent his justice department after faithful Catholics (which he claims to be) to be investigated as terrorists while allowing rampant lawlessness all over the country,
So let me get this straight, I’m supposed to get all excited and outraged and shocked when the guy I just described decides in the final days of this time in office, when he’s practically at death’s door, to issue a pardon to his son who has used his Father’s positions in government as Vice President and then President to shake down foreign business and to get people to “buy” his paintings” all the while kicking back the 10% to “the big guy”?
Seriously?
Now if he was an honest and honorable pol, who had given his life to the service of his country I could just be a little surprised if he had pardoned his corrupt son in his last days of office citing it as the only favor he asks of the land that he had served faithfully for half a century.
But this crook? Why on earth would I or anyone else be surprised at this corrupt lying bastard acting as a corrupt lying bastard. In terms of harm to the office and the country this is likely one of the mildest things he has done.
The only surprise I have is that he didn’t pardon himself as well.
Update: You know I’d bet real money that there are plenty of people in the Biden Administration complicit in crimes that might have hoped to be part of a blanket pardon issued by the president before Trump takes office on the grounds of preventing said administration to practicing “lawfare” against them. The media would have fully backed something like this.
Alas I suspect that such a pardon will not happen not because in Joe Biden eyes they are guilty of a much greater crime, complicity in forcing him off the Democrat ticket.
Just about half the population of the United States is experiencing a great deal of anxiety this Thanksgiving. The remaining half are suffering from an abundance of joy. There are three main reason why this stark difference between the two halves of our population exists.
Those on the political left are beside themselves with dread right now. They believe all of their rights will be stripped from them. They are convinced that the economy of the United States will utterly and totally collapse. These Progressives believe that women will be denied needed medical care.
Those of us on the political right know with certainty that President Trump will restore all of the rights that were greatly eroded away, such as freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, and the right to bear arms, under the Biden Regime. We know that the economy of the United States will rocket forward out of the stagnation caused by the ruinous policies of Biden and Harris. As for the stuff about women not getting needed medical care, we know that is absolute bilge.
Democrats are in such a bad state mentally because they exist exclusively in a progressive echo chamber. All of the news and information they consume comes from left wing sources, all of which shovel nothing but propaganda.
Those on the political left are indoctrinated and programmed. This is done to them under the guise of receiving a college education.
The political left does not believe in objective truth. All reality is relative to them. To them truth is fungible.
The half of the population that is experiencing dread and anxiety this Thanksgiving are doing so because of they are unable to distinguish between the real universe of objective truth where the United States will prosper under Trump and the fantasy universe created by progressive brainwashing where the United States will become a hellhole.
Today I feel a profound sense on elation. It began around 10pm election night when Pennsylvania and Wisconsin began to turn in favor of President Trump. The elation blossomed into full euphoria when I checked the election results after I woke up and saw that the Democrats did not pull off another 4am steal of the presidency.
If the Democrats had stolen the election I would have felt a profound sense of loss, I would have been in a deep state of mourning because it would have meant the end of the United States as Constitutional Republic. The fundamental transformation of this nation into a third world Socialist Democracy would have been complete.
There is no way Kamala Harris could have pulled off a legitimate victory. I was not worried about that at all. She is the worst candidate to ever run for president, even worse than Biden.
We all should take a few days to celebrate President Trump’s victory against overwhelming odds. A few days is all we can spare because there is so much hard work to be done. We have to fix every single circumstance that led to Joe Biden’s installation in the White House.
The legacy media suffered a tremendous loss of face with the victory of President Trump. A significant percentage of the population proved to be immune to their constant propagandizing. Much more needs to be done to inoculate the population against the excrement they shovel.
The unholy alliance between teacher’s unions and the Democrat Party needs to be addressed, along with the left’s stranglehold on higher education.
Election laws in all of the States need to be tightened, especially in the battleground States..
We also have to repair all of the damage done by the Biden Regime.
There is so much more to be done and so little time to do it.
