    I do not respect what Biden did for his son because Biden did not do the same thing for every other person who suffered from republican (and democrat) policies. Primarily black inmates including those who suffered false trials.

    Joe Biden did not save Marcellus Williams who was actually innocent.

      The only reason I have respect for it is because for once democrats aren’t the party of piety and taking the high road. It’s actually a bit refreshing seeing them muck around in the mud.

      You’re totally right though. A whole lot of people should be getting pardoned for the drug war biden himself was responsible for condoning as a senator for decades. But then how would the prisons and those who contract with them for slave labor profit? Will anyone think of the poor investors?

        Its funny how when it comes to normal people its always the high road, when it comes to genocide it’s always a process he can’t change, but when it comes to his son, no more high road. No one on the left cares about the pardon, we care that of all the times to break precedent, its not to stop the genocide but to cover his son. When someone shows your their priorities believe them.

          Oh yeah. They’ve got their class interests to protect which is why they do absolutely nothing for us. Remember they’re gonna hand over power to fascists because politeness and protecting institutions matters more to them then fighting for the minorities they’ve manipulated for decades. They don’t give a fuck about us.
