Exactly. Hunter makes a plea deal that would mirror most other plea deals for the crime of being an addict and lying on his background check for a gun. Republicans demand the plea deal be rescinded and he gets jail time, so they rescind it and make Biden pardon him. They get raked over the coals for that while Trump pardons numerous felons for all sorts of real crimes. Nobody says shit about kushner lying on his security clearance forms to be around top secret shit and was still allowed the position of power he was within the government. Not one fucking investigation after making billions off his appt. The fact kushner or ivanka were never even investigated spoke volumes. The whole thing is rigged and the media treats us as stupid as republicans do.

You are not wrong, and what you said is important, at the root of all our problems.

Probably staying low until the country is completely under control and all dissidents rounded up. They have to know they should be in jail if we had any true justice system. I’m sure they know this is a full takeover and don’t want it to backfire like last time because the country might not be so willing to let shit slide.

Didn't Trump pardon Ivankas father in law?
