And one (Trump) is far more relevant than the other.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 31 points 4 months ago

The only thing relevant about Hunter Biden's conviction is that his father, who is the current President of the United States, isn't pardoning him, even though he has every power to do so.

[-] Thassodar@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Is there a limit to how late he can pardon someone? If he loses (somehow) could he pardon him on the last day as a final "eff you!"?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Donald pardoned a bunch of shitbirds on his way out. Definitely possible although it shouldn't be. They should have to publish all the pardons they're planning well before the election and can only pardon names from that list.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago

Could. Has stated he will not.

[-] Thassodar@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Well at that point all statements could go out the window since he wouldn't be president anymore pretty soon

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Biden has integrity unlike trump

We have a news outlet reporting on another news outlet's report on a news outlet's reaction to an actual event. 🍿

This can go deeper!

[-] neo@lemy.lol 4 points 4 months ago

Since we are discussing this on social media, another news outlet could make a "story" about the discussion or should I say your popcorn enriched outrage.

I would also be available for a game about the movie about the game about the book about that story.

CNN: Finally, after four disastrous years, innumerable crimes a global pandemic and a failed coup, does the absolute bare minimum to note the hideous propaganda machine of the right wing

Lemmy: argues about it

[-] PahassaPaikassa@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

Who is arguing about it? In some other thread I assume since no one in this one is

I'm starting to suspect that these Fox News guys might be somewhat biased.

[-] RandomGuy79@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Well I definitely won't vote hunter for president

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

How about, and I’m just spit ballin’ here, neither Donald Trump nor Hunter Biden should be president?
