Because you’re assuming everyone thinks the same, so what would convince you would convince anyone else.

That isn’t true.

That makes FEMA bad and ICE good in their hate filled minds

Humans are animals…

We need socialized at a young age so our ingroup/outgroup doesn’t form along racial lines.

If it does, it can be overcome with logic, but that takes constant effort, and as we age our minds go on “autopilot” more day to day, which is why old people who grew up pre-civil rights movement “become” racist as they age. Or after drinking or sleeping aids.

For them it’s a conscious effort to remember “they” are really “us”.

This isn’t my opinion or something I’m guessing at, it’s actual psychology.

Like, people laugh at Alabama being so backwards for banning Sesame Street when it became racially inclusive, and they get called paranoid for calling it “brainwashing” but even just seeing people of different ethnicities on TV is enough to blur the line for their entire lives. Banning it helped prolong the next generations forming their in/out groups along racial lines.

I swear to God only the fascist option paying attention to science is the most maddening part of this.

Their voters are idiots, their politicians are idiots, but the people calling the shots aren’t idiots.

If you’re reducing them to “hate filled minds” then history will keep fucking repeating like it always does.

And it’s fucking getting old to have fascists keep showing up.

So I stead of imitating them and dehumanizing them, how about we do something with a snowballs chance in hell of working?

There WAS political interference by the Republicans ONLY because it was Biden’s son, he was targeted for political reasons, not because of the laws he broke.

What republicans?

The ones Biden appointed?

Otherwise I don’t see how they were capable of doing things the last four years…

So you’re happy Biden did this…

But it means absolutely nothing…

Why do you think he did it anyways?

Trump has expressed skepticism regarding the level of aid sent to Ukraine, which puts him at odds with Biden, who has been a staunch ally of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the country continues its fight against Russia.

Which is why it’s so fucked up Biden’s first priority was Israel.

I’ll give credit to Biden for the arms to Ukraine when Ukraine receives them. I don’t know why people on either side keep giving credit any earlier.

The text message is the big red flag, that’s obviously a scam and has been happening for at least a year. Most scam texts are filtered on my phone, but a few of these slip thru.

I guess they’re just trying to tie phone numbers to addresses so they can sell the phone list for more info.

Especially with people keeping their cell number while moving states, tying an address to the number and verifying it’s that person would be a tidy profit.

Why not just really say fuck and pardon anyone for any crimes committed in the act of crossing a border?

Like, even if Bidens only course of actions is pardons (it’s not, the article gets into options) why isn’t he pardoning more people?

There are things he could be doing, he’s just not…

But there’s a very slim chance he might if people make enough noise.

My beef is with the media. This impacts the life of 1 person: Hunter Biden

My beef is with Biden, because even if the only thing he can do is pardon people, Hunter ain’t the only one trump will go after

You telling me Hunter needs protected more than Fauci?

Even if so, why isn’t Biden pardoning the other people as well

The issue is Biden isn’t doing more, same issue as the last four years

He’s a lifelong devoted Catholic…

When Catholics pray, it’s too God. And they believe God shows them signs for guidance.

Biden believes he communes with God.

That is not something modern society should want in a leader

Which is the entire point of this post …

Let’s say all he can do is pardon people to save them from trump…

You telling me the only person trump is/was going after is Hunter?

People really just want their team to hurt or piss off the other side.

It really ain’t gonna be long till both sides are firmly “us/them” and the rich will keep making the poor’s fight each other.

It’s fucking embarrassing

Sounds like a trump supporter arguing gun laws need revoked…

Like, you realize he wasn’t charged for smoking crack.

He had charges for buying a gun while on crack, trying to throw it away by a school. And then it not being there when going back to get it.

The vast majority of drug offenses are similar.

The vast amount of cannabis probably. But not Crackheads.

Do you honestly believe habitual crack use that results in multiple trips to rehab isn’t a reason for someone to not be able to possess a gun?

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised, just holding out hope for the party for some stupid reason.

What I’ve been seeing today tho, Dems have gone full trump and will excuse anything and always say they’re party had a reason for personal corruption and not helping the public

And I agree with that, because it’s a child you are teaching.

I was asking if you hadn’t ever let you kid face consequences till his 50s, he publicly confessed for crimes you were aware of and didn’t turn him in.

Because at 50 years old… You’re not teaching them a lesson.

So would you continue knowing your son is gonna just keep smoking crack and breaking laws, or would you treat them like any other person and throw them headfirst into the justice system like the crime bill you wrote in 1992 did to tens of millions of actual children for 32 years?

It’s a national security risk to give custody of the former president’s son to Donald Trump

You replied to me a couple times saying that, without ever explaining how you think that’s true…

You can’t just repeat nonsense over and over and it becomes true eventually

If Kamala had won, Hunter being in the custody of the DOJ wouldn’t be a national security risk

Just what the actual fuck does that even mean?

About cannabis specifically, he already pardoned the federal non-violent, non-distribution offenders. And his DOJ has recommended the DEA reschedule it to a Class III drug, they’re the department that actually controls drug scheduling.

He pardoned some.

He can order agencies to do things and replace them if they refuse.

But even if the only thing he can do is pardon people to save them from trump…

Why is he only pardoning his son who admitted guilt to his crimes already?

Do you and Biden both think Hunter is the only one at risk and the only one that need protection from trump?

r. It had nothing at all to do with the merits of case of the interests of criminal justice. It had to do with preserving the institutions of democracy for the immediate years to come.

You think to do that, Biden’s one and only course of action was pardoning his soon, and now it’s mission fucking accomplished?

If a nazi uses the n word…

No one is surprised.

When your only other option also uses it, that doesn’t make it ok because they didn’t mean to say it in public intentionally.

When you settle for “a slip” and say that’s ok, the only thing you’re doing is making it easier for people to act like the nazi isn’t that bad. Because you’ve normalized it

If Biden wants to “take the low road” then fucking take it and do some good for the American people. Don’t do it only for purely selfish reasons.

That is why people are upset with Biden about this

It’s like saying it’s ok to steal food for your starving family to justify stealing, then you just eat all the food yourself.

There’s a lot Biden can do to help Americans still, he just doesn’t give a fuck.

Sooo…

Why’d he just pardon his own son?

Why isn’t he trying to fix this broken law rather than just pardoning his own son who’s in his 50s?

Like, if the gloves are off shouldn’t Biden be doing a bunch of stuff to help a lot of people at once?

He’s fine with his son breaking this gun law for crack, but won’t de-regulate cannabis so Americans in states where it’s legal won’t be breaking the law by owning a gun?

Drunks and (some special) crackheads can have guns but somebody who smokes a little green at night instead of a beer can’t own a gun?

Edit:

After four years of political experts outling actions he can take…

It’s really fucking depressing some people honestly believe this is all he can do

That’s never gonna happen as long as Republicans are fascist religious extremists, and the only other option literally still thinks God talks to them directly.

Biden, 81, told Stephanopoulos, 63, that he doesn’t intend on exiting the race, and only a higher power intervening would make it happen.

"Look, I mean, if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get outta the race,’ I’d get outta the race,” he said, adding, “The Lord Almighty’s not comin’ down.”

Republicans dove head first into religion, so that means the only other option Americans get is a “benevolent” deluded religious person.

Because no matter how bad Republicans get. Our only other option will always meet them halfway.
