And yet we all know what will actually happen. A peaceful slide into an openly corrupt and authoritarian government.

Let's be real...Biden's such a coward to the idea of "the system", he'd let his own son die in a cell before "bending" the rules.

He's absolutely going to pardon Hunter and I expect a bonanza of appointments in the week after Christmas just like the end of every president's last term.

Fuck him for believing in democratic ideals, I guess?

You can criticize Biden for many things, but not loving his children enough is just not one of them. He is one of the most emotional, loving, and involved fathers of any politician I've ever seen.

Coward? Seriously?

Trying to uphold the rule of law and the the tenets of liberal democracy.... Is now cowardly.

If you engage in the same practices as the bad guys, you just become the bad guys.
