That's a lot of competency from someone who has already been ruled too incompetent to stand in court, and only yesterday was described by many as having no idea what is going on.
They could have invoked the 25th Amendment, and forced the issue onto the public spotlight. Of course that would be effectively giving control of the Whitehouse over to Harris and away from Biden's inner circle/handlers.
He knew about this months ago. Refused to say anything until a newspaper broke the story. Acts like we weren't experiencing a constitutional crisis and elder abuse.
Every fucking member of congress is complicit in this. Never forget that.
Biden wasn't legitimately elected in the first place and every POS in Congress knew (as did all the military brass, etc). They all need to be held accountable for treason.
Trump should issue preemptive pardons for his family and everyone in his administration on day 1 just so the media would have to pretend that one is good and one is bad on the same day, instead of spread out years apart when the goldfish have already forgotten Biden's actions.
Here's a better idea; resign 1-179 days before the end of his [second] term so that Vance isn't clipped by the 22nd Amendment and then just have Vance do the pardon for Trump and his family instead. That way Trump isn't pardoning himself which would cause all manner or shitfits from the Left.
They were all involved in some way or another as agents, officers, trustees and beneficiaries in a web of shell corporations and trusts the Bidens used to hold, sell and hide assets. Some of them, like Ashley, claim to have not known she was listed as an officer for one shell company. Hunter's toddler was named in another. Biden and his brother used family members in case there ever was an investigation. This is them tying up loose ends.
Yep. I think that it was mainly Hunter and Frank Biden who were the moneymen and managers of the graft, utilizing Joe's name and access. Then the money was distributed throughout the family. Of course, Joe would help out when necessary. Like the infamous time he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor investigating Hunter's involvement in Burisma.
just read the newspaper in austria over dinner. they are exactly going for that angle.
poor lil wil cuddle-biden handing out coragous pardons for 'critics of trump'. because we all know orange-man will now go full beserk on all these upstanding defenders of democracy.
If you didn't think that Biden would do this, you are naïve. Of course he would, he has used the power of whatever office he held for the advancement of his crime family for 50 years.
Trump should immediately issue preemptive pardons for his whole family, himself, and his administration for all offenses past and future until 2075. Fuck it.
He really should. It would be hilarious. Along with all his Day 1 executive orders, he should just pardon all Trumps and Trump-aligned people. And then sit back and watch the legacy media shit itself for a month or so.
This is not 4D chess. The deep state is happy to destroy the office of the president. Their entire strategy is to limit the public’s ability to influence government, and the president is the most powerful direct representative in the nation. He’s the one giant wrench that the voters can toss into the machine every four years. If they can sabotage the position via capturing and abusing it, to the point where everyone is calling for its powers to be destroyed, then the deep state wins - because they already hated the office and wanted it gone.
Jail "pardoned" people for admission of guilt per precedent decisions on the acceptance of pardons. edit: guilt no longer implied per 2021 ruling on a previous Trump pardon.
Fuck the legal system, go dig up some Luigis and turn them loose. FBI has a file with thousands and thousands of patsies waiting to be handed free DDM4s and Eotechs.
Midnight armed raids, seize documents, arrest for whatever reason you like (blanket pardons cover all crimes y'know), build respective cases.
Perhaps guilt admission is no longer part of pardoning, but pardoning itself implies potential criminal action to be investigated.
There are substantial differences between legislative immunity and a pardon; the latter carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it, while the former is noncommittal, and tantamount to silence of the witness.
In 2021 the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals set new precedent and ruled President Trump’s pardon of Clint Lorance did not imply guilt. That ruling has been cited as precedent in a 5th Circuit ruling.
Correct. There's still the issue of what preemptive pardoning should truly entail. So you could feasibly just start investigating them (probable cause or whatever?) because, by making the pardons, Biden has arguably identified things for which to pardon them.
A lot of people aren’t seeing this for what it is: sabotage. They are sabotaging the office of the president on the way out the door. The goal is for scotus to review these shady pardons and then move via congress to restrict the powers of the president. This only seems like a good idea if you’ve the mind of a goldfish. In the long term, the president is pretty much the only direct representative that matters in this country. He’s the one guy you can elect every four years and then expect immediate seismic change in government. Any movement to curtail his power is in the best interests of the unelected permanent bureaucracy aka the deep state. These people spend every waking hour obstructing every president they don’t successfully capture. They would be jumping for joy if we take the bait and demand a reduction in presidential powers.
That's a lot of competency from someone who has already been ruled too incompetent to stand in court, and only yesterday was described by many as having no idea what is going on.
The right was too spineless to act when the DOJ admitted Biden was too incompetent to hold office. Any ramifications since is equally their doing.
Is. The right is too spineless to act. It's been that why for a long time now and I don't see it changing soon.
Well, that's where you're wrong.
Only problem is "The right" isn't represented by any political party in the USA. The Republicans are on the left.
I yield to no on in my criticisms of Republicans doing nothing, but what exactly were they supposed to do there?
They could have invoked the 25th Amendment, and forced the issue onto the public spotlight. Of course that would be effectively giving control of the Whitehouse over to Harris and away from Biden's inner circle/handlers.
That's why I'm not angry about them sitting on their hands. I would rather have a senile Biden "in control" than a perfectly healthy Harris.
That was why Biden picked her as his VP to begin with, in one of the only smart moves he made (smart as in protecting his own ass).
Spineless fucking Mike Johnson.
He knew about this months ago. Refused to say anything until a newspaper broke the story. Acts like we weren't experiencing a constitutional crisis and elder abuse.

My god you can just imagine the mental gymnastics and excuses they would sputter 😂
Don't need to imagine the mental gymnastics -- we've already seen them.
It would just be amusing to see them having to justify one and condemn the other on the very same day.
I think they would just not report on the second one. Just ignore

Banana-republic-tier administration.

Some of them, like Ashley, claim to have not known she was listed as an officer for one shell company. Hunter's toddler was named in another.

Where did you see those?
Yep. I think that it was mainly Hunter and Frank Biden who were the moneymen and managers of the graft, utilizing Joe's name and access. Then the money was distributed throughout the family. Of course, Joe would help out when necessary. Like the infamous time he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor investigating Hunter's involvement in Burisma.
I really couldn't believe the video the first time I saw it.
Biden casually confesses to extorting a foreign government and everyone laughed and laughed. Surreal.
It's real, for those wondering.
Inb4 "And that's a good thing" pushes.
just read the newspaper in austria over dinner. they are exactly going for that angle.

It's not a question of "would do", but "could do" given his supposed brain melt that's been used to shield him for the last 6 months.
This late in the game I honestly thought he didn't care or had forgotten about it
Yea, well, he pardoned Ashli Babbit's killer, too. Michael Byrd.
Not that it should matter, that sumbitch needs justice in other ways, outside a court room.
Trump should immediately issue preemptive pardons for his whole family, himself, and his administration for all offenses past and future until 2075. Fuck it.

Then he has 4 years to act.
Odd that I don't see a Jill Biden in there.
Yeah, it's weird how everything the left claimed trump would do, the dems are doing.
If only leftists had things like principles.
Consider this act of "lawfare":
for admission of guilt per precedent decisions on the acceptance of pardons.edit: guilt no longer implied per 2021 ruling on a previous Trump pardon.Fuck the legal system, go dig up some Luigis and turn them loose. FBI has a file with thousands and thousands of patsies waiting to be handed free DDM4s and Eotechs.
Please don't get me wrong about my desire. Our difference here is what we consider to be a "worse" punishment, ultimately with timing.
Transfer all the USSS agents still on the payroll as the detail for the Bidens and see what happens.
I'm not quite getting how Part 3 is supposed to work.
Midnight armed raids, seize documents, arrest for whatever reason you like (blanket pardons cover all crimes y'know), build respective cases.

Burdick v. United States (1915):
But it was dicta so still debatable if precedent.
That has been countered in 2021: https://xcancel.com/JayOrsi/status/1881358908109000948
Ah. Thanks.
They could still try to argue it again and go all the way to SCOTUS though, right? Not to say it wouldn't be a waste of time.
Correct. There's still the issue of what preemptive pardoning should truly entail. So you could feasibly just start investigating them (probable cause or whatever?) because, by making the pardons, Biden has arguably identified things for which to pardon them.
Trump should sign executive orders today nullifying all of Biden’s unconstitutional pardons.
I took so much money from retards on Kalshi who insisted this wouldn't happen hahaha.
