Don't mistake hypocrisy for meaningful principles.

ignorance

You're projecting.

Quotes from President Joe Biden stating that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden:

        June 2023: In an interview with ABC News, Biden said, “I abide by the jury decision. I will do that and I will not pardon him.” (Source: {‘title’: ‘Biden pardons his son Hunter on gun and tax charges despite previously saying he wouldn’t’, …})
    June 2023: At a speaking event, Biden explicitly stated, “I will not pardon him.” (Source: {‘title’: ‘Biden Pardons His Son Hunter Despite Saying He Wouldn’t’, …})
    November 8, 2024: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated the president’s stance, saying, “We’ve been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no.” (Source: {‘title’: 'Biden pardons his son Hunter despite previously saying he wouldn’t’, …})
    June 2023: In a statement, Biden said, “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. I will not pardon him.” (Source: {‘title’: ‘Statement from President Joe Biden’, …})
  

Go ahead and wear your hypocrisy like a badge of honor.

*Biden was going to do this pardon anyway, don't kid yourself believing his constant lies.

What does hypocrisy mean to you?

Who says liars can't also be stupid?

Taking the high road

This pardon is another example of taking the high road?

It's incredibly sad to see Democrats embrace hypocrisy with pride regarding a simple and obvious issue like this.

Trump will have a field day pardoning Jan 6 criminals with this additional political cover from Biden.

It's not that they can't, it's that they don't want to.

Why did Biden say he had full faith in the judicial process this entire year until now then?

I love when people use Trump as a litmus test for good behavior and how openly hypocrisy is displayed like a badge of honor.

The same way he locked up Hillary in 2016 right? Biden is a liar and hypocrite. His sycophant supporters are out of touch with reality.

Trump's going to do whatever the hell he wants

He would have had the same political cover he has now that Hunter was pardoned?

Make it make sense.

*Need to give Trump cover so he can pardon all Jan 6 rioters without political consequences.

Downvotes for speaking the truth, a badge of honor tbh.

Imagine a tech company laying off workers for literally any reason, must be the fault of anti-war people right.

Thanks O'Biden!

The source you cite lists 103 nations as less corrupt than Ukraine and only 76 measurably more corrupt. Ukraine is far below average.

Taking measures is not equivalent to making gains. Reality is reality, no matter what level of optimism you have.

Why trust your out of date sources instead of recent headlines regarding corruption amidst a reconstruction estimated at almost half a trillion dollars?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/corruption-overshadows-ukraines-multi-billion-064357386.html

Corruption is thought to be exponentially worse in recent yearswith Zelensky publicly firing corrupt military figures.

There are almost a hundred other countries that rank less corrupt than the Ukrainian government.

The territories in dispute are unlivable minefields for the next few generations as per Vietnam.

America wasted billions already showing no understanding of Ukraine.

At most, 34% Americans can find Ukraine on a map.

Elections don't negate the most corrupt governments in the world.

"Literally" use Google to see any of the numerous sources stating the fact that Ukraine is far below average in terms of corruption and democracy.
