It's a shame he didn't pardon Trump. That would have been the funniest thing ever.

After the November election, he privately mused about the idea of pardoning Trump as a magnanimous move, according to a person directly familiar with his comments, though it’s not clear he seriously considered it. A White House official said “to our knowledge, this was not raised.” [Biden] is not on speaking terms with some of his closest allies.

[...]

He is estranged from some of the people who were once among his most powerful allies. He harbors, along with first lady Jill Biden, a simmering resentment toward former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and several former aides, including Bob Bauer and Anita Dunn, all of whom he believes either failed him or pushed him out of the 2024 race, according to several people close to him.

God he's so fucking deluded to ACTUALLY THINK he could have won.

Apparently his own internal polling indicated Trump might get 400 electoral college votes.

Even New York would have turned red

Hey, look on the bright side, he did pardon Hunter after repeatedly saying he wouldn't, and that's pretty funny.

Only relateable thing he did, and we all know Trump would do the same (if his son(s) were convicted of a crime) lmao

I have a poor opinion of anyone who wouldn't pardon their kid over drug offenses. I can't fathom the brain rot needed to think a bunch of prison time is reasonable for hookers and blow. (I'm not a user of either)

Obama would throw anyone under the bus. Joe thought he was immune?
