He should then grant a blanket pardon to all the Jan 6 rioters.
This would return balance to the public's sense of justice and fairness that the pardoning of Hunter Biden has skewed.
I strongly disagree with that perspective.
The Democrats must abandon their outdated fixation on playing by the rules and start taking cues from the Republican playbook. The so-called norms, decorum, process, and tradition, are mere obstacles to the Republicans, discarded whenever they impede their agenda.
The Democrats, and even the ALP here in Australia, gain nothing by clinging to the moral high ground or "doing the right thing."
There is no value in losing an election simply to have some historian in 100 years reading through the history books and seeing that Labor or the Dems ran an honourable yet losing campaign.
It's time they step into the fray, get their hands dirty, and meet their opponents on their own ruthless terms.
We all know 45 was destined to exploit every ounce of power the moment he set foot in office. Why, then, should Biden and the Democrats refrain from wielding power just as unapologetically?
As for the hollow outrage from the hypocrites who decry these tactics, it deserves neither sympathy nor consideration. Their performative indignation carries no weight, it is nothing more than noise.
It's almost like some posters here who will complain that you're not answering their questions or engaging with them in a good-faith discussion when they've been abusive the whole time and don't ever answer any questions put to them. It is especially delicious watching them meltdown when having to face someone treating them exactly how they treat others, throwing their own behaviour back in their face.
We're in exactly the same place now with those complaining about what Biden has done. You'd support 45 doing it, so I don't care what you have to say about Biden.
Stuff and nonsense. The MAGA party and its friends stand for law and order. How do we know?
Trump can do what he likes, give himself a pardon from 1920 to 2090, his children can spend the next four years breaking any law they want and he can just pardon them.
