#Trump urges judge to toss hush money case, citing Hunter Biden pardon

Trump's attorneys said Pres #Biden's statement that his son had been "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" also applies to the president-elect.

"I have come to think of this as the hidden, unspoken ideology of our media and political elites. They behave, in word and in deed, as though what is most important is the protection and maintenance of the status hierarchy."

"Hunter Biden’s pardon is front page news — not because anyone cares about Hunter Biden at all, but because it is the type of Presidential misbehavior that our elite media knows how to object to.

Kash Patel’s intent to turn the FBI against his 'enemies list' is a lesser news story, right up until the moment he throws those enemies in prison."

"Meanwhile, the actual incoming president of the United States has signaled that he’s going to fire the director of the FBI for [reasons] and replace him with a psychopath. And everyone just kind of shrugs."

"The Hunter Biden Pardon Discourse is a perfect distillation of our dominant political asymmetry. ...

Hundreds upon hundreds of columns in the mainstream media are being written about Biden and the pardon. Most of them seem critical.1 Even supposedly nonpartisan analysts took the Hunter Biden pardon and extrapolated it to the moon as a litmus test for the Democratic party writ large."

"For years, the Press has played this same old broken record. They amplify Trump’s lies and normalize his criminal dealings, while launching vicious criticisms of Biden every single chance they get. …

Give me a break. The selective and fake outrage by corporate media is one of the biggest reasons we are in this mess in the first place."

"As one commentator put it in the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump was held to a kindergartener standard while Kamala Harris was held to a presidential standard. As resisters, we will now reject that bullshit."

"Biden is supposed to toe some imaginary line drawn by liberal op-ed writers and frightened congress-critters and pearl-clutching newspaper editors, even as Trump promises to pardon insurrectionists convicted of attacking Capitol police, damaging the nation’s Capitol, and attempting to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election."

Since the election, there's been considerable discussion of withdrawing from political engagement, protecting oneself and one's space.

There are different ways to do that. When Musk took over Twitter, I left Twitter that very day: disengagement. Refusing to give any energy to a loathsome, lethally dangerous man….

I have for some time now disengaged from corporate media, reading only select articles and refusing to subscribe to most outlets.

I refuse to engage with pretend liberals who troll social media feeds like mine and try to draw me into insincere discussions about how the Democrats — never the Republicans — need to "listen," to "learn." These are beat-up sessions, jubilation sessions for people who are either overtly or secretly very happy that Trump prevailed in the election, and want to use their window of opportunity now to attack, savage, tear fragile solidarity of resisters apart.

Disengaging: I refuse to be lectured to by New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, etc. Those outlets have forfeited their right to lecture to me, to pretend that their elitist, privileged standards represent "ethics" or "morality" or "propriety" or "civility."

Jonathan Haidt or Nate Silver can both-sides "woke Democrats" and fascist Republicans till the cows come home. I refuse to listen. I've disengaged.

I could not be more disengaged from the absurd blatherings of corporate media about how Biden has now failed to exhibit a commitment to law and order, when Trump: my God, Trump. And all that he and his party are setting in place for us.

And the media expect me to concern myself with Biden's pardon of his son?

What hellacious moral vacuum do those soulless, empty folks live in as they pretend to set ethical standards for the rest of us?

"Ron Filipkowski of MeidasTouch notes that Biden’s pardon came after Trump’s announcement that he wants to place conspiracy theorist Kash Patel at the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Filipkowski studies right-wing media and points out that Patel’s many appearances there suggest he is obsessed with Hunter Biden…."

"And yet, much of American media today has been consumed not with the story that Trump has appointed a deeply problematic candidate to run what could be considered the nation’s most important department, overseeing about 3 million personnel and managing a budget of more than $800 billion, or with the reality that Biden’s distrust of our legal system under Trump is a profound warning for all of us."

"The paper owned by defense contractor Jeff Bezos chose to publish seven mostly worthless posts on Hunter Biden's pardon and not one on allegations that aspiring Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth couldn't even manage two medium non-profits without financially ruining them."

I don't care that #Biden pardoned his son. Of course he did. Is it wrong? Maybe. Would either side do it?. Yeah, so no one has any room to argue about it.

This is ALWAYS the problem with our system. Neither side has the moral high ground because BOTH sides take donations from special interests and neither side can be trusted to look out for the people.

If Bernie announced he was starting 'The Progress Party' today, the registration numbers would be off the charts. 🇺🇸

OMG #Biden has pardoned his own son.... if that sounds bad it gets worse.... Tell me if u spot the weird trick.

>In June, the younger Biden was convicted of three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018. According to the prosecutors, he lied on his gun-purchase paperwork that he was not addicted to or using illegal drugs.

> In a statement issued on Sunday evening, the president said the “full and unconditional pardon” covers offenses which his son “has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted.”

The whole #presidentialPardon window thing is FU$KING NUTS....but that aside, does anyone find it unusual that #biden would pardon his son from 2014(?!) to today? *COUGH* #burisma *COUGH* #ukraine *SPLUTTER* #nepotism #cronyism
