The Biden investigation should go forward and reveal all, even with the admission that it cannot lead to conviction. Exactly what just happened needs to be abundantly clear. I really do think they will annihilate the world in nuclear war if they have to avoid being exposed; that's how big their crimes are and how scary the prospect of living in a functioning society as a social exile is to these people.
It easy to understand why cancelling and debanking are tools of this crowd. It is because there is nothing more terrifying to them than losing their wealth and status. But that CAN be taken from them, even if they don't go to jail.
Yeah, well, like I said the other day, as Slim Shaddy says; I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes............:
1. Joe, James, and Hunter Biden must all be convicted and then pardon them.
2. Merrick Garland. Convict him of treason and then send him to a deserted island.
3. Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, and Letitia James. All need to go to prison.
4. Matthew Graves, the lead January 6 prosecutor, and his deputies, need to be arrested and put on trial, and they need to be hit with a massive personal lawsuit that the US government refuses to defend them from
5. ANYONE involved with the Mar-a-Lago raid, from top to bottom, needs to be raked over the coals.
6. Any judge who went along with the government overreach in the 1/6 charade should be impeached and removed from office.
7. just for kicks, make life hell for Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and Eric Swalwell
I mean the time elapse in the first two weeks hadalready stretched the bounds. We are sitting ducks.
How many seconds in a day can POTUS not be lucid without compromising national security? The answer is NEVER.
Our constitution calls for a unitary executive (something like that). In other words, nobody else has the power vested in them by We The People other than the president to run the executive branch.
He's incompetent to stand trial or run for reelection, ergo he can't run the country.
Completely understand but the grift is in, what is being held over our heads, or used to threaten us is Kamala. No one wants her anywhere near the White House or power, or the magic button that ends life as we know it.
Bullseye. Biden's mental competence is not a real issue, and never has been. He's not making decisions. Even the idea that he has access to sensitive information seems less than plausible. The real risk is not from an incompetent Biden (or Harris), but from bestowing the executive power in an unelected, covert collection of (a few) persons not accountable to The People in any way. These people cannot be voted out. Once entrenched, it will be near impossible to "clean" the entire house.
On a positive note, it seems Trump has learned since 2017 just how far reaching goes the corruption and infiltration. I expect we will see different tactics this time around. I fear he may still underestimate what he's up against.
The whole fabric of society will go to wrack if we really lay hands of reform on our rotten institutions. From top to bottom the whole system is a fraud, all of us know it, laborers and capitalists alike, and all of us are consenting parties to it.
So, if Henry Adams whose great grandfather was John Adams, one of the Founding fathers and 2nd U.S. President, can state this 150 years ago, what on earth have we learned from history, to have fallen even this much further? This is our last chance to tear down these corrupted institutions and, with God's help, save this country. Trump needs all the support he can get to begin this process
Right Family, but Henry was one of TR's "Four Horseman". At this point, it is my opinion that the Jacobins will be defeated, but trump is just a "Frontman", it will be Elon Mush and The PayPal Mafia that remove the Jacobins.
The FDA and CDC members who lied and cheated to get deadly vaccines approved, with 1 million Americans dead to this point, and many more compromised...
Now that Hunter can’t plead the fifth, haul his ass into Congress to give a full accounting of what went on in Ukraine. If he refuses, pursue criminal contempt charges. If he perjures himself, pursue those charges. If he tells the truth, follow those leads wherever they may lead (and I think every rational person knows where they lead). Not sure ol’ Joe thought this all the way through — although maybe he’s relying on the self-interest of the uniparty to make sure Hunter never gets subpoenaed by Congress.
Sarah, how about a conspiracy hypothesis that at least makes sense to me? I suspect that regime that we choose to call "they" want you and the rest of a concerned citizenry to be terrified enough as we count down the weeks (days) to the Trump inauguration...a citizenry so fearful that some moron's going to press the red launch button, that another "insurrection" occurs - maybe a march on the capitol, at which point 'they' will be able to declare martial law, postpone indefinitely the transfer of power, and continue with whatever contingency plan that has been decided upon.
Certainly possible; I take nothing of the table. Here’s my take, from twitter:
Staying in a state of angry activation wears you out and makes you less effective. People who want to destroy you psychically know this, intuitively or intellectually, and will use a constant stream of rage-inducing injustices and hypocrisy to trigger the response.
Others are made pawns in their game; they don’t know, but they participate.
It’s all a Game of Thrones, modern Medici amorality. Weaponize your enemy against himself.
*And you don’t have to play.* Be water. Let the corruption flow past you like the fetid sewage it is. Take action when impelled by truth, but be at peace with reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.
The innocent will suffer regardless of how furious you are. The guilty and evil will loll about in luxury no matter your apoplectic rage. “Some are supping on tears, some are supping on wine; we all get to Heaven in our own sweet time.” -Gillian Welch
To make the world more peaceful and just and honest, be peaceful and just and honest. That’s what is in your control.
Haven’t republicans been investigating the Biden crime family for 4 years already? How much longer do they plan on doing this before they release the information? Maybe they have and I just didn’t notice?
The pardon covers Hunter. I am sure the investigation will, if allowed, uncover that Hunter never acted alone. While he may have immunity, as will papa Joe, there would be a lot of fallout and a real investigation might compromise the effectiveness of the "family". Do you really think Joe is the mastermind? I don't. I don't see Hunter as the boss, either. This puts The Family in an interesting situation. If they want to use the power of presidential pardon to protect the real bosses, that would mean revealing the identity of the real bosses.
We've had presidents issue a slew of commutations and pardons on their way out before. Obama issued nearly 2000 pardons and sentence modifications in his terms, not even close to a record. Trump lagged behind every president in recent history except GW Bush at 237. We might see a much larger number in the next term if Trump keeps his promises to seek justice.
BTW the record I think is Jimmy Cater who issued the record clemency actions at over 200,000 for draft evaders (many of whom claimed to be political prisoners). Biden issued more than 6500 pardons for "simple possession of marijuana" which is the height of hypocrisy: marijuana remains a Schedule I drug. While in congress Biden opposed every effort to remove marijuana from the controlled substance list, as has his party for decades. The fact is most of those pardons would have not been needed had The Party allowed the right thing to be done and passed the bill that removed marijuana form the controlled substance act. But I digress...
Real justice for the Biden extended family is unlikely. It's kinda like buying a lottery ticket, it is sure fun to speculate what life would be like if it happens ;-).
Congress will have an enourmous role to play in any plan to change Government. Unfortunately, we can assume that a good portion of Congress is on the take in addition to the noted antipathy to Trump. The slim margin of majority will mean little when personal fortunes and reputation are on the line. One can hope for great change, one should not expect it anytime soon.
I certainly understand a gloomy outlook, but Congress doesn't control the Executive Branch. If Trump's cabinet picks are not confirmed (and I think they will be), Trump has recourse through recess appointments. I have every reason to believe that Elon and Vivek will accomplish what they say they will accomplish; and probably more.
Recess appointments don't work the way most people think they do. It can turn into an ugly feud between Congress and the President. They will only happen if there's agreement between the two. And yes, there's the rub.
My understanding is that if Mike Johnson places the House in recess, the President can recess the Senate regardless of what Senators want. Then he makes his appointments. Is that wrong?
Your statement has no bearing to reality, the only thing the executive branch can implement is an executive order, which is not law. If team donkey retakes power, they just negate these executive orders, and the beat goes on. Laws must be passed and established to offer any permanent solutions. Rule by fiat is what has gotten us into this current quagmire. Mr. Obama set the precedent, all I need is the stroke of a pen or some such nonsense is what he said. Since than it's been congress grifting off wars, global warming, and whatever else they can monetize. As presidents come and go ruling by decree to give there base read meat. Maybe this time will be different, I have my serious doubts.
EXAMPLE: (18 USC 3052) of 1934 said “...Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation may carry weapons...”
The law says it is something the President decides. So the President on day 1 can announce the FBI is an investigative body only and they have 78 days to sell all firearms and ammo to FFL's all over the country and give them 2 years to pay back the purchase.
Let’s declassify some stuff first! Let’s just see how much power these politicians have when they’re fully exposed for what they are! Bring on the Epstein client list, bring on the Ditty files… Trump holds the trump card….
Play ball, help reform the country, and you get to finish out your term and retire. Otherwise, it's jailtime and huge fines (so you can't use your ill-gotten gains to buy your way out).
I am so old that I can remember watching the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings on TV and Biden's smarm and mediocrity back then oozed out through the invisible cables onto my living room carpet, and yet every Republican Senator I can think of, from then to now, has called Biden a decent compassionate man of integrity.
So of course here we are. Everyone in DC protected him even when he was and remains their political opponent because of course as you do often emphasize, one way or another, they are all dirty, or if not personally so, their clubby friends are.
Anyway I can't wait for the shrieking when Trump starts pardoning and I sure hope he starts from Day One.
I’ve seen the clips from the Thomas confirmation, with Joe Biden doing this weird, ‘you know that I know, and I know that you know’ routine on him. Clarence Thomas is looking at Biden, like WTF. Later, I saw Clarence Thomas being asked about that exchange, and he scoffed, and said he didn’t know what Joe Biden was even talking about. Joe Biden has always been a wretched man.
In those hearings I thought Anita Hill, who was a reluctant witness, was credible and dignified, and Democrats howling about Clarence Thomas ever after have always had Biden to thank for him on the Supreme Court.
Conservatives screaming about black people who claim racism as the cause of everything do not seem to have been troubled by Thomas whining about a "high-tech lynching."
So you believe an unhinged Anita Hill claiming that Judge Thomas talked about women having sex with animals? Ya right. I think your comment is as unhinged as Anita Hill’s claims. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xD2FVyMGQ0
There are laws against slander and libel. Unfortunately when you are well known, those lies are juried by the mainstream media who is ferociously biased against Conservatives.
I will never forget those despicable Thomas hearings, either. I'm just a little too young to have paid close attention to the equally dreadful Bork hearings.
But many do. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.
Check out the comment section on the latest Bulwark article (or really, don’t -why do I do this to myself?!). The backflips and cartwheels to justify Biden’s decision make Cirque de Soleil look like amateurs.
It’s unwise to expect that the moral center of gravity of politicians and bureaucrats will be any more elevated than that of the so-called “man in the street” — the population from which the sample is drawn. Loose morals and looser money are the playground of organized crime. And in a society where narcissism has been sold as moral true north, corruption is assured. Vast, stomach-churning corruption.
The real solution, sadly still tens or hundreds of generations away, is a general moral and spiritual quickening.
In the meantime, it would seem that the best way to mitigate the potential damage of centralized corruption is radical decentralization of government. The framers of the US Constitution saw this, but their ideas have been white-anted over two centuries. It’s time to get back to constitutional basics and return power to the people, who also need to get their faces out of their phones and start taking civic responsibility seriously.
How about a special prosecutor to investigate all Congressional and department and agency corruption?
The mere existence of it would have the whole of the deep state in a tailspin, trampling over one another to rat out their higher-ups, lest they get caught in the net.
Bottom line: there must be consequences for the flagrant lawbreaking these people have perpetrated upon American citizens.
Without consequences evil flourishes.
It is the right thing to do. And essential for establishing a true foundation upon which we can restore this country back to its founding principles.
If anyone else gets prosecuted (51 intelligence officials, cough, cough) Hunter could be called as a witness. Because of the pardon he now cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment. So he either spills the beans or perjures himself and the perjury falls outside the timeline for the pardon. Checkmate.
Hunter will simply say that he "doesn't remember" - neither spilling the beans nor perjuring himself. Unfortunately, many prosecutions will not end in conviction. But they can expose obviously illegal and unconstitutional conduct by officials.
The new nato secretary general “never had an active memory” of anything while pm of the netherlands; presumably the grey cells will also fail him in his new job (pun intended, but no pun really).
Hunter definitely should be exposed, even if he’s ‘pardoned’ because there are many other family members in on the con. Let’s see how it plays out when Joe Biden’s crimes are fully exposed along with Jill, his brother James, his sister, and his daughter Ashley. The entire Biden crime family needs exposed and indicted. The Biden family was so cocksure that they would not need to worry, so let’s show them differently. Investigating all those LLCs that were used to hide crimes of illicit gains will show them it didn’t work and only shows the complicity.
Do you really believe Biden made this decision on his own? Individuals with dementia can be coerced into doing many things; signing over real estate, bank accounts etc. Consider a whiny Hunter on Thanksgiving weekend pleading with his dad, evoking the risk of more legal cases to come that include the president himself. How would manipulating a confused octogenarian into an unconditional pardon be any different than the con man who cheats a confused elderly person out of their money and home? The letter announcing the pardon is too articulate for where Mr Biden lives right now.
Pardon me! How can a blanket pardon be given covering anything done since 2014? Crimes that he has not been accused of yet, not discovered yet. Axe murders, stranger abductions OK because he gets pardons for tax fraud and gun possession by a felon. If Hunter accepts the pardon, he still must testify in any investigations and he can not plead the 5th. In tax matters, he still must pay what he owes. I just can't see how one can be pardoned in advance for any crimes that come to light later. Will Biden attempt the same thing for all the family members and business partners? And will he say Pardon Me on January 20th when he leaves the White House for the final time?
The “anti-federalists” warned us that big government would emerge from the Constitution for the basic reason that human nature is self-serving, always. They were right. What was supposed to restrain the government made up of humans who desire power, thus people who end up becoming corrupt politicians, has failed us.
What is the answer? Real Federalism? With a strong central government, the idea of federalism with the supremacy clause is not authentic.
We fought and won the Revolutionary War under the Articles of the Confederation and the two biggest problems – no common currency and inability to communicate quickly - no longer exist.
The happiest countries are small and homogenous, so why not examine the idea of 50 sovereign states with a small, weaker central government united for national defense, while most of the other issues can be governed at a state level?
There may have been a good reason to have about 2.5 months between the US presidential election and inauguration, but that time lag should be shortened with the goal of preventing too many presidential pardons ("you already had four years ...!").
My woketard sister actually believes that the Bidens are squeaky clean. The Covid response was logical and science based.(she is a decorated science teacher- lord help us) Cow farts are destroying the planet. We have to get a handle on misinformation etc. and I’m the dumb redneck.
Wow! I have a niece who is a bit as you describe your sister. But at least she live 2500 miles away from me. We don't really talk much anymore. Surprise, surprise.
You can pardon people from punishment for their crimes, but you cannot pardon them from shame. Few "normies" understand the profound legacy of scofflaws running amok with impunity. That perception can be shattered through truth commissions that, while lacking punitive justice, will fill history books with examples of a country that was "of, by, and for" the party. The DOJ HQ should be razed and a monument of shame should be erected on its ruins. A new generation of leaders should be forced to govern in the shadow of the monument.
Maybe there’s a good use for Epstein’s client list not having been made public yet. Use it against sitting congressmen and senators to get what you want accomplished…then at the end of your term…you make it public anyway
The Biden investigation should go forward and reveal all, even with the admission that it cannot lead to conviction. Exactly what just happened needs to be abundantly clear. I really do think they will annihilate the world in nuclear war if they have to avoid being exposed; that's how big their crimes are and how scary the prospect of living in a functioning society as a social exile is to these people.
It easy to understand why cancelling and debanking are tools of this crowd. It is because there is nothing more terrifying to them than losing their wealth and status. But that CAN be taken from them, even if they don't go to jail.
Yeah, well, like I said the other day, as Slim Shaddy says; I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes............:
1. Joe, James, and Hunter Biden must all be convicted and then pardon them.
2. Merrick Garland. Convict him of treason and then send him to a deserted island.
3. Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, and Letitia James. All need to go to prison.
4. Matthew Graves, the lead January 6 prosecutor, and his deputies, need to be arrested and put on trial, and they need to be hit with a massive personal lawsuit that the US government refuses to defend them from
5. ANYONE involved with the Mar-a-Lago raid, from top to bottom, needs to be raked over the coals.
6. Any judge who went along with the government overreach in the 1/6 charade should be impeached and removed from office.
7. just for kicks, make life hell for Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and Eric Swalwell
Did i miss anyone?!
Dang. I forgot Mayorkas!
The real list would probably be too long for this substack. A phone book length perhaps.
Well the c19 perpetrators are a different subject.
Feed them to hungry lions.
Here's the real list courtesy of our future FBI Director :
https://x.com/Timodc/status/1863620081873244259?t=KTxxMTyH8PjfrPmavlKOuQ&s=19
That's handy
The Covidiot list needs to be included:
- Peter Hotez
- Anthony Fauci
- Andy Slavitt
- Watcher
- Eric Feigl-Ding
- Deborah Birx
- Eric Topol
- Maria Bottazi
Michael Osterholm
Leana Wen
- Ashish Jha?
- Marty Makary?
There are more, but I can’t find my complete list of criminals.
If we only nail Andy Slavitt, I would be happy.
Ashish Jha and Marty Makary might undeservedly be on my "witch list."
Birx is a biggie. She pretty much turned COVID from a Public Health Event to a "National Security" Event.
That was pivotal.
Its a long list of scoundrels
All those assholes we should first start by sawzalling them at the ankles, and then ask questions later..lol...;)
Well, I'm a Team DeWalt guy, but sure.
I agree a more than merely harsh response is required. Pour encourager les autres.
I have a DeWalt sawzall. Watcha talking about Willis?....;]
He should be exiled penniless to Cuba, or the shithole Latin American country of his choice.
I read that as "penisless"....which also works!
Oprah's wing gal, Kamala.
Kamala Harris and everyone else who usurped the constitutional authority granted to the presidency when the sitting POTUS was demonstrably disabled.
Another good catch.
I mean the time elapse in the first two weeks hadalready stretched the bounds. We are sitting ducks.
How many seconds in a day can POTUS not be lucid without compromising national security? The answer is NEVER.
Our constitution calls for a unitary executive (something like that). In other words, nobody else has the power vested in them by We The People other than the president to run the executive branch.

Completely understand but the grift is in, what is being held over our heads, or used to threaten us is Kamala. No one wants her anywhere near the White House or power, or the magic button that ends life as we know it.
Yeah, but i have to hit on 16 or id be a phony
You have to wonder who's actually running things Right Freaking Now.
I mean, clearly, if we don't like how they're running things, we can't vote them out. Looking forward to the house cleaning.
#DOGE
Bullseye. Biden's mental competence is not a real issue, and never has been. He's not making decisions. Even the idea that he has access to sensitive information seems less than plausible.

On a positive note, it seems Trump has learned since 2017 just how far reaching goes the corruption and infiltration. I expect we will see different tactics this time around. I fear he may still underestimate what he's up against.
Jake Sullivan , who may be the one who has been calling the shots… figuratively and literally
Ooh. Good one
The whole fabric of society will go to wrack if we really lay hands of reform on our rotten institutions. From top to bottom the whole system is a fraud, all of us know it, laborers and capitalists alike, and all of us are consenting parties to it.
Henry Adams

Let's not neglect the oligarchs, starting at the top: Bill Gates.
Schumer and Pelosi. Why pardon Hunter and Biden?
Because we need this to end and we need to prevent retaliation.
I can't think of another solution that has the chance of accomplishing both.
The FDA and CDC members who lied and cheated to get deadly vaccines approved, with 1 million Americans dead to this point, and many more compromised...
Now that Hunter can’t plead the fifth, haul his ass into Congress to give a full accounting of what went on in Ukraine. If he refuses, pursue criminal contempt charges. If he perjures himself, pursue those charges. If he tells the truth, follow those leads wherever they may lead (and I think every rational person knows where they lead). Not sure ol’ Joe thought this all the way through — although maybe he’s relying on the self-interest of the uniparty to make sure Hunter never gets subpoenaed by Congress.
I like the way you think. 👌
Wouldn’t it be lovely if “Dr” Biden and other Bidens get named?
*unique breakfast tacos have entered the chat*

Well, President Obama did say to never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up.
For which we must be, from the moment PA was called, ever grateful.
So you believe an unhinged Anita Hill claiming that Judge Thomas talked about women having sex with animals? Ya right. I think your comment is as unhinged as Anita Hill’s claims. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xD2FVyMGQ0
That's the beauty of a free speech platform. We can say what we like.
There are laws against slander and libel. Unfortunately when you are well known, those lies are juried by the mainstream media who is ferociously biased against Conservatives.
Try reading my reply again.
I will never forget those despicable Thomas hearings, either. I'm just a little too young to have paid close attention to the equally dreadful Bork hearings.
It's possible you and I have different viewpoints on the despicable part.
The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
Benjamin Disraeli
I don't imagine them as any different from what they are.
But many do. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Considering that a majority of the world's population claims belief in the tenets of Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cults...
Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs.
Henry A. Kissinger
Christianity is a Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cult too. As is the mother faith.
except when they "turn the frogs gay"
No need to wait!
Check out the comment section on the latest Bulwark article (or really, don’t -why do I do this to myself?!). The backflips and cartwheels to justify Biden’s decision make Cirque de Soleil look like amateurs.
I haven't had my mug of tea yet. My stomach will not be equal to a visit to The Bulwark so early.
With the liberal hairless woman swearing off sex, good luck with your opportunities for horizontal free speech.
I'm a straight woman.
Who cares. Unhinged is not DEI biased.
It’s unwise to expect that the moral center of gravity of politicians and bureaucrats will be any more elevated than that of the so-called “man in the street” — the population from which the sample is drawn. Loose morals and looser money are the playground of organized crime. And in a society where narcissism has been sold as moral true north, corruption is assured. Vast, stomach-churning corruption.
The real solution, sadly still tens or hundreds of generations away, is a general moral and spiritual quickening.
In the meantime, it would seem that the best way to mitigate the potential damage of centralized corruption is radical decentralization of government. The framers of the US Constitution saw this, but their ideas have been white-anted over two centuries. It’s time to get back to constitutional basics and return power to the people, who also need to get their faces out of their phones and start taking civic responsibility seriously.
It will take a total blackout to pull people away from their phones. I totally agree though.
Couldn't say the last paragraph any better.
Kudos
I definitely agree with you! You might like reading Attorney Cox's Substack. She fights for our constitutional rights. She recently wrote a Substack on Hunter Biden too: https://open.substack.com/pub/attorneycox/p/not-all-pardons-are-alike?r=2c9g6j&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
How about a special prosecutor to investigate all Congressional and department and agency corruption?
The mere existence of it would have the whole of the deep state in a tailspin, trampling over one another to rat out their higher-ups, lest they get caught in the net.
Bottom line: there must be consequences for the flagrant lawbreaking these people have perpetrated upon American citizens.
Without consequences evil flourishes.
It is the right thing to do. And essential for establishing a true foundation upon which we can restore this country back to its founding principles.
If anyone else gets prosecuted (51 intelligence officials, cough, cough) Hunter could be called as a witness. Because of the pardon he now cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment. So he either spills the beans or perjures himself and the perjury falls outside the timeline for the pardon. Checkmate.
This is a fantastic idea.
Art, well painted!
Hunter will simply say that he "doesn't remember" - neither spilling the beans nor perjuring himself. Unfortunately, many prosecutions will not end in conviction. But they can expose obviously illegal and unconstitutional conduct by officials.
The new nato secretary general “never had an active memory” of anything while pm of the netherlands; presumably the grey cells will also fail him in his new job (pun intended, but no pun really).
But he can still lie, or am I missing something? Couldn’t he say I don’t remember, I wasn’t there… so he lies in court. What happens, jail time?
Love this! True 4D chess, so it'll never happen. 😄
Matt Gaetz.
Maybe Attorney Cox could be that prosecutor? https://open.substack.com/pub/attorneycox/p/not-all-pardons-are-alike?r=2c9g6j&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Hunter definitely should be exposed, even if he’s ‘pardoned’ because there are many other family members in on the con. Let’s see how it plays out when Joe Biden’s crimes are fully exposed along with Jill, his brother James, his sister, and his daughter Ashley. The entire Biden crime family needs exposed and indicted. The Biden family was so cocksure that they would not need to worry, so let’s show them differently. Investigating all those LLCs that were used to hide crimes of illicit gains will show them it didn’t work and only shows the complicity.
CONVICT MAYORKAS AND GARLAND OF TREASON!
And then send them to a deserted island so we can watch them wither away together on pay-per-view.
Give them a "Wilson" volleyball to keep them company just for shits-and-giggles.
Mayorkas to Haiti. I am sure the warlord Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier will know what to do with him ;-)
Lolol!
Do you really believe Biden made this decision on his own? Individuals with dementia can be coerced into doing many things; signing over real estate, bank accounts etc. Consider a whiny Hunter on Thanksgiving weekend pleading with his dad, evoking the risk of more legal cases to come that include the president himself. How would manipulating a confused octogenarian into an unconditional pardon be any different than the con man who cheats a confused elderly person out of their money and home? The letter announcing the pardon is too articulate for where Mr Biden lives right now.
The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.
Felix Frankfurter
Manipulating his brain addled father? Or threatening to write a tell all book that clearly makes dear old dad the villain we all know he is.
Kash Kash he’s our man, if he can’t do it, nobody can. In the words of that street sage Beretta, ‘If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.’
Have you read any articles from the MSM on him in the last 2 days?
My goodness...we live in a time where parody is inadequate.
Inadequate or unnecessarily redundant?
There you go...lolol...exactly...;)
You have to love Babylon Bee. At least, I love Babylon Bee.

I'm there with you... I LOVE the Babylon Bee! The very best of satire, political and otherwise, on the planet.
Lol!!! Here is another serious article about Hunter: https://open.substack.com/pub/attorneycox/p/not-all-pardons-are-alike?r=2c9g6j&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Hahaha
Pardon me! How can a blanket pardon be given covering anything done since 2014? Crimes that he has not been accused of yet, not discovered yet. Axe murders, stranger abductions OK because he gets pardons for tax fraud and gun possession by a felon. If Hunter accepts the pardon, he still must testify in any investigations and he can not plead the 5th. In tax matters, he still must pay what he owes. I just can't see how one can be pardoned in advance for any crimes that come to light later. Will Biden attempt the same thing for all the family members and business partners? And will he say Pardon Me on January 20th when he leaves the White House for the final time?
Giving Hunter a blanket pardon for all and any crimes was what the judge rejected already. And yet here’s Joe making it reality.
The “anti-federalists” warned us that big government would emerge from the Constitution for the basic reason that human nature is self-serving, always. They were right. What was supposed to restrain the government made up of humans who desire power, thus people who end up becoming corrupt politicians, has failed us.
What is the answer? Real Federalism? With a strong central government, the idea of federalism with the supremacy clause is not authentic.
We fought and won the Revolutionary War under the Articles of the Confederation and the two biggest problems – no common currency and inability to communicate quickly - no longer exist.
The happiest countries are small and homogenous, so why not examine the idea of 50 sovereign states with a small, weaker central government united for national defense, while most of the other issues can be governed at a state level?

An absolute return to federalism as envisioned by the founders.
SNAP!
The Founders would've started blowing shit up a long time ago.
There may have been a good reason to have about 2.5 months between the US presidential election and inauguration, but that time lag should be shortened with the goal of preventing too many presidential pardons ("you already had four years ...!").
I think President Trump had most of this lined up already so a shorter time would have given us some relief from all the mischief these asshats plan.
My woketard sister actually believes that the Bidens are squeaky clean. The Covid response was logical and science based.(she is a decorated science teacher- lord help us) Cow farts are destroying the planet. We have to get a handle on misinformation etc. and I’m the dumb redneck.
Wow! I have a niece who is a bit as you describe your sister. But at least she live 2500 miles away from me. We don't really talk much anymore. Surprise, surprise.
You can pardon people from punishment for their crimes, but you cannot pardon them from shame. Few "normies" understand the profound legacy of scofflaws running amok with impunity. That perception can be shattered through truth commissions that, while lacking punitive justice, will fill history books with examples of a country that was "of, by, and for" the party. The DOJ HQ should be razed and a monument of shame should be erected on its ruins. A new generation of leaders should be forced to govern in the shadow of the monument.
Maybe there’s a good use for Epstein’s client list not having been made public yet. Use it against sitting congressmen and senators to get what you want accomplished…then at the end of your term…you make it public anyway
