    When he said he wasn’t ever going to pardon his son, I knew that wasn’t true, and so did he. There was no reason to lie, yes it’s a political witch hunt, and the only reason they went after him is because of who he was, but he knew that.

    That’s another reason why I am disappointed in Biden.

    The democratic party needs all of its leadership gone, people like Pelosi are keeping the party down at the expense of the American people.

      I’m actually of the opinion that he really meant what he said when he promised not to pardon his son. But then after the election I believe he was disappointed with the democratic party and the American public and realized that leaving his son in prison under Trump and a fully Republican Congress was dangerous (he’d already lost all of his other children). And decided to go against his own word. He really had nothing to lose in doing it. And I don’t think he gives a damn shit about the Democratic party anymore. I mean, I know I don’t.

      Man, imagine if magats cared one inch when trump pardoned the straight up crooks Roger Stone et al. Imagine their reaction when he pardons everyone involved in the failed insurrection.

      Do you think magats find us more decent and respectable when democrats “tsk tsk”?

      Let Biden pardon his son, who gives a shit. It’s not like Trump is gonna go “well maybe I won’t be a dictator now” if Biden doesn’t.
