Just this year there have been 200,000 weed related arrests, and thousands imprisoned because simple possession is still illegal in lots of the US.

Oh no! The carpet bombing of Gaza! Would hate to see that when Biden is out of office! Trump is going to hit the 25% of the remaining buildings!

Does Hamas have any guarantee that doing so will stop a single thing Israel is doing or will do? The answer is clearly no because - as even rational factions in Israel will concede - the war is about population engineering, land annexation and settlement, not the hostages. It was clear from the very first two weeks when that intelligence report leaked laying out war options which included exactly what we are seeing, when Israeli leadership declared starvation plans and stated that Gaza would be reduced to a "city of tents." And just last week the IDF let kahanist lunatic settler Daniella Weiss enter the strip to survey land for settlement. The hostages don't matter on any political level, only on a propaganda, morale and moral level.

Gazans with infected amputation wounds starving in tents: "Oh no! He'll take away our 1 daily piece of bread."

Biden has literally no alibi for the UNSC vetoes or objecting to the ICC verdict and the merit of the ICJ case. No alibi for suppressing US aid agency evidence of deliberate starvation of civilians. Democrats have no alibi for passing legislation banning funding to UNRWA among other bills underwriting pretty apparent war crimes. They have zero alibis for striking down bills aimed at halting Israel's slaughter, domicide and settlements. The attitude in DC is that Israel needs to get it over with and make sure it is permanent. They view the West Bank and Gaza as unruly parts of a Jewish empire - Israel needs to pacify and integrate them on its own terms.

No, it was quite literally the reason.

I agree. Since Biden believes that Trump is a fascist, and he didn't do this for purely selfish reasons, I expect him to also issue a blanket pardon for all undocumented immigrants as he is granted the power two do under Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution. Otherwise, I'll have choice but to believe that he is a corruot individual who is actually just saving his son from legal consequences of matters already resolved in court.

No way this looney is getting confirmed. It's gonna be Rubio, isn't it?

You argument is quite literally "the president should just go ahead and misuse power right now because it was abused before." It's astonishing what you people will let Dems get away with and how little you consider the damage it does to the party's image, chances, conduct and culture.

Thing that's been dominating the news cycle for weeks is momentarily less dominant than thing that happened just yesterday.

Must be because people are so unfair to that troubled youth who just needed help, Hunter Biden. Has nothing to do with Joe Biden promising to use presidential powers to pardon the indigent, disproportionately-black group of people who went to jail for possessing weed and instead using the powers specifically for his 54 year old millionaire son.

Yeah, that corporate bastion of pro-Trump sentiment, The Guardian.

That's not a logical fault, you just don't understand what machismo means. It's specifically referring to a gendered attitude that emphasies male strength and leadership. The idea that mobs are macho and Mexican men are macho but that contributed to the election of a woman is normally the kind of drivel only head injuries and drugs can produce.

Exactly, which is why the judge objected to plea deal. Are you following now?

Actually judges can and should call foul on plea deals that are poorly worded so as to allow future violations of tax law.

No. They quite literally cannot get that. They will find a way to contort themselves into believing that Biden is a responsible dignified statesman who is forced into every stupid, evil or corrupt thing he does, up to and including genocide.

THAT'S what you object to in their comment? You're part of the problem.

Judges do that all the time. Hunter Biden was the 50+ year old son of one of the most powerful people in the country. Not some 22 year old street kid from a poor district.
