He was compared to Hitler or similar by the left press.

His own VP called him Hitler.

That’s why we had 2 assassination attempts

The shooter was Republican. The second individual didn't even shoot him and was a former Trump supporter as well.

____no5 said:
and 88 cases against him.
Click to expand...
Because he broke multiple laws.

____no5 said:
No Democrat can say “yes, but Trump did the same”, because by doing that they put themselves to the same boat with the Devil.
Click to expand...
Nah, that's transparent bullshit to defend Trump with your utterly lopsided principles ;)

____no5 said:
Half the forum was crying that nobody is above the law but what is a sweeping “once in generations” pardon if not preemptive obstruction of justice?
Click to expand...
There's nothing "once in generations" about it. Furthermore, Trump got away with everything, so you can't point at Biden. Either be consistent with your views and apply them to everyone, or stop.

____no5 said:
88 charges against an ex President and president candidate,
Click to expand...
If he didn't want to be charged he shouldn't have been a literal criminal.

____no5 said:
2 assassination attempts against same,
Click to expand...
By his own supporters, not by the left and certainly not motivated by Biden.

____no5 said:
nepotism,
Click to expand...
Oh, you mean like the billions of dollars Jared Kushner received? Or the multiple family members of Trump that worked for him during his first admin? You aren't fooling anyone with your hyper-partisanship.

____no5 said:
wars,
Click to expand...
Not Biden's fault.

____no5 said:
recession,
Click to expand...
Literally impacted by Trump's previous administration and something Biden has been salvaging.

____no5 said:
genocide,
Click to expand...
The only fair criticism so far.

____no5 said:
regime changes.
Click to expand...
Every US president, including Trump, is guilty of this and you know it.

____no5 said:
Not forgetting border crisis inside or Nord Stream,
Click to expand...
Yawn.

____no5 said:
or allowing missiles hit inside Russia in the 11th hour without even consulting president-elect.
Click to expand...
We know you love Russia, but it is in fact not an ally of the US.

____no5 said:
Biden is the worst president I can remember, by far exceeding Bush Jr.
Click to expand...
Suuure lmao

You will come to the same conclusion eventually, I’m just trying to accelerate the process.

Nah, no one is falling for your talking points.
 
Regarding the pardons, there is no doubt the President is given essentially unlimited power of pardon. It is not a giant shock, despite any past declarations, that he would pardon his son. My primary problem with pardons in general are those that happen after the election. If there were to be any "pardon reform" and that is highly unlikely, there should be a window from day 1 of early voting to January 20th where they are not permitted in an election year. You can pick most any President in the past many decades and find some really shady pardons.

Fantastic proposition!
 
I would really like an explanation for these two
Woman who embezzled $53M for Dixon, IL to spend on a pretty lavish lifestyle
A PA judge who took kickbacks in exchange for sending kids to a private juvenile prison

The explanation is right there in the link:
"A Biden administration official told CNN the latest commutations were not individual decisions and instead it was a uniform decision granted to people who met certain criteria, like having a track record of good behavior while on house arrest."

That's the explanation. That being said, it's pretty dumb, or perhaps the key word is "lazy", to not have a brief individual review of those who meet those criteria, to avoid pardons for crimes such as these.

I should have phrased it as "I would like a good explanation "

We're not getting it as, obviously, solely a criteria approach isn't a good way to go about it.

"A brain fart" is probably the best explanation for this we can find.
 
An unfortunate president, but a great diplomat. One of the few in his position I genuinely believe wanted to change the world for the better.

Nixon wasn't that bad.

Even leaving aside Watergate, the war on drugs and the bombings of Cambodia alone tank his presidency.

____no5 said:
Bush Jr. was quite low but between him and Biden I choose him any time.

No Child Left Behind, the Patriot Act, the illegal invasion of Iraq, Abu Ghraib, and by the end of his presidency the country was in a recession that he failed to combat.

Come on, man.
