It's only injustice when Democrats do it.

My favorite was when the president-elect (who again, is a felon, like an actual convicted felon who sexually assaulted like twenty-five women) outraged performed on the doubly ironically named Truth Social about the injustice of it all.
"Pwa hahahahahahahahahahaha <sharp intake of air> hhahahahahahaha!"
-literally everyone who read this

"Politically motivated? Us? Never!"
-Jim Jordan, suddenly 
caring about crime
The injustice of what? Joe Biden's pardon for his son Hunter over the weekend. Hunter Biden was convicted of purchasing a gun while using and being addicted to illegal drugs, and some felony tax offenses. Previously the President had said, promised even that his son would not receive a presidential pardon and that he'd be treated no differently than anyone else, even though the zeal with which the younger Biden had been prosecuted seemed to be more about hurting the President than anything else. I mean, Republicans routinely run on guns and not paying taxes, so what are they even mad about?

But of course, he did commit crimes. And honestly, the guys sounds like kind of a mess. The fact that he was prosecuted for them solely because Republicans were butt hurt that their coup failed is irrelevant to his guilt. It's not irrelevant to his pardon though and the President cited that in his comments saying that "It is clear that Hunter was treated differently." And he was. The Biden Presidency was four years of Republicans railing about his son, which is weird, because literally no one voted for Hunter. That's just all they had.

embodiment of the death of irony.
That that justify Biden's reversal? I don't know. And at this point, I don't think I care. Hunter is the President's son. Of course he's going to pardon him. Trump gave his kids like every job they've ever had. Remember that time Don Jr. accused Hunter of being the recipient of nepotism? 

"When you're the father and your son's entire career is dependent on that, they own you."

-Don Junior, no really


Trump's Truth Social post connecting the insurrectionists (hostages? really dude?) with Biden the younger is the kind of insane, infuriating nonsense we're going have to endure for the next four years. He already promised to pardon those guys on day one, and they did a treason. I suspect the next few days are going to be about Republicans gnashing their teeth and tsk tsk-ing the sorry state of affairs when a President can just overturn a conviction, but just bear in mind who's doing the tsk-tsking.
I guess what I'm saying is: get it Joe. Get it. Nothing matters.
