#Biden gives son #Hunter 'unconditional' #pardon
Source: bbc.com/news/articles/cjwl3ven…
Biden has proven that what #Trump can do, he can do too. Lies, nepotism and saving criminals from their just punishment. Look, he's just the lesser of two evils and Trump is much worse. US democracy can only be saved without these two evil parties. Trump's supporters can now pull off much worse things with reference to Biden without the other side being able to justifiably outrage. Righteous anger at this despicable system can only come from the outside.

US President Biden gives son Hunter 'full and unconditional' pardon
Biden says his son Hunter was "unfairly" prosecuted over tax and gun possession - but earlier he had ruled out a pardon.Sofia Ferreira Santos (BBC News)
The discussion of blanket #pardons, reported earlier by Politico, remains primarily at a staff level although #POTUS #Biden has talked about it with senior members of the team…. It comes after Biden pardoned his son Hunter to spare him from prison on gun & tax charges. The White House declined to comment on Thursday.
#Biden’s staff is debating whether he should issue blanket #pardons for a swath of #Trump’s perceived enemies to protect them from the “retribution” he has threatened after he takes office….
The idea would be to pre-emptively extend executive clemency to a list of current & former government officials for any possible *crimes* over a period of years, effectively short-circuiting the next president’s promised campaign of reprisals.
#AmnestyInternational formally concludes Israel is carry out #genocide
The report is thorough, forensic, and legally watertight.
Anyone still defending Israel?
Still defending #Biden / #KamalaHarris ?

Amnesty concludes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza
Our research reveals that Israel has persisted in committing genocidal acts, fully aware of the irreparable harm it was inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza.Amnesty International
Aww, Genocide Joe has pardoned his own son. Family is important to Genocide Joe. Unless it’s families in Gaza being wiped out with the billions of dollars of weapons he sells to Israel, of course.

With his pardon of son Hunter, Joe Biden delivers a heartfelt hypocrisy
The president and supporters argue Hunter Biden would never have been charged were it not for his name – and any father might have done the same. But this exercise of power also looks like a validation of Donald TrumpDavid Smith (The Guardian)
YES!
“Pres #Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night..
The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.…
The pardon is expected to cover both #HunterBiden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea, the people with direct knowledge of the discussions said”

If #Biden doesn’t pardon his own son for charges that wouldn’t have been brought against some random person, as he’s promised, it’ll be such a stark example of the asymmetries we’re dealing with. #trump #fascism

Trump’s Pardons Were Way Weirder Than You Remember
The list is strangely revealing.Molly Olmstead (Slate)
Biden must Trump-proof US democracy, activists say: ‘There is a sense of urgency’
President can secure civil liberties, accelerate spending on climate and healthcare, and spare death row prisonersDavid Smith (The Guardian)
"These are people who make more than $35,000 but less than $58,000 per year, but don’t currently qualify for #overtime; to oversimplify, bosses have reclassified many of these #workers as managers, exempting them from federal overtime protections. The #Biden rule would make them eligible...
Guess who managed to block this rule that would have provided those people with relief? #MAGA #Republicans allied with #business interests, that’s who."

>> Criminal #Trump nominates monstrous #Gaetz to oversee criminal justice in America.
We can call it Trump's #viceSignaling, which is the exact opposite of #Biden's #virtueSignaling that had led him to make #Garland "whole" by appointing him as AG because #Republicans had stolen the latter's #SCOTUS seat.
Now Trump signals to his constituents that rape — whether statutory with underage kids, or otherwise — is just fine, and the DOJ won't prosecute them.
What a surprise: Biden lied.
Oh well, at least he managed to get Trump elected.
That’s something, I guess.
Wish I could say “good job committing genocide by proxy, Democrats” but it looks like Trump is going to beat you at that too.
Damn, maybe you should’ve been playing a different game… Turns out you can’t beat Trump at fascism.

Old-growth forests are key to slowing #climate change and to protecting endangered species. In #Oregon, logging in Bureau of Land Management-controlled areas has continued at a steady pace despite Biden’s promise to protect these forests.

A Biden Effort to Protect Old Forests Hasn’t Curbed BLM Logging
In Oregon’s Coast Range, mature forests can absorb more carbon per acre than almost any other on the planet. Yet logging here continues at a steady pace, putting the environment at risk.ProPublica
