The 100: Ugh, Sigh,
Phew. This is a (scary) time for democracy.
First they made us ride-and-die-with-Biden. Then he stubbornly thinks he can win reelection even after stumbling and slumbering on the debate stage. Then at the last minute drops out (when he should have kept his promise as a transition president).
THEN they trot out a(n) (already disliked) last minute candidate. ***She struggled hardcore in the democratic primary in 2020!***
Then lose.
Then he does this.
Pardons his criminal son.
Phew. This is a (scary) time for democracy.
“There has been an effort to break Hunter—who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution,” Biden said. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me—and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.”
“Rep. Greg Stanton (D., Ariz.) said, “I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong. This wasn’t a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers.”
I shutter at the criminal who lost, and brace for the one who won.
