Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is an impeachable violation of the rule of law. These charges were pursued by his own Justice Department, not the GOP. The proper response was to appeal the case, not to abort the process vs his repeated vows. https://t.co/jZRGMQuJhh

BS! Trump fired Comey for not putting personal loyalty to Trump over the Constitution.

It'good to see there is some leftist resistance to Trumpkin groupthink on X. However, Biden supporters are just as bad as Trumpkins in insisting he is above the law. Biden assured us repeatedly he wouldn't do exactly what he just did. It is intrinsically corrupt.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 2, 2024
"Good for Joe"
Wrong. The pardon power is constitutional, but its application to Hunter is intrinsically corrupt and hence an abuse of power. Think, for instance, if POTUS had someone killed and pardoned him. There's a reason Nixon didn't pardon himself leaving office.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 2, 2024
This Trumpkin troll deserves to be publicly rebuked. No, neither Trump nor Biden is above the law, and no, POTUS cannot pardon himself. The rule of law means each person is accountable in consistent enforcement. Biden should have let the judicial system of appeals run its course https://t.co/ZNIHY5AwQW

A leftist tweeted:
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 2, 2024
"Such a powerful statement from President Biden in pardoning Hunter: “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.”"
No. Nepotism is moral corruption. Hunter needs tough love.
I'm not getting the leftist point here. Rittenhouse was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. Daddy corruptly abused the pardon power of the presidency so his loser 54-year-old son isn't held responsible for his own crimes.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 2, 2024
Biden should be impeached for corruptly abusing the pardon power. "The presidential pardon power was inspired by a British law meant to protect the unjustly accused." Hunter's tax evasion/fraud and gun registration fraud were deliberate violations. He's not above the law.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 2, 2024
Biden isn't the only political whore to abuse pardon authority. Remember Clinton on Marc Rich? And Trump, like Nixon, considered a self-pardon. We need a constitutional amendment to limit it, not rely on the courts. https://t.co/X6Pv10stUo

Mueller had served as US Attorney and was the longest serving FBI director since Hoover, nominated by POTUS from both parties. Comey was also a US Attorney. And Wray. Patel is a principled SOB.
Unfortunately, I don't expect leadership from Trump on long-overdue reform like Bush tried to address 20 years ago when Boomers started to retire. We've got a shrinking labor force. We're going to need modest payroll hikes, higher income ceiling, deferred eligibility, means-test.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 3, 2024
Trump is undisputedly bad on social security but not for leftist claims of cutting benefits. He tried to cut payroll taxes during the pandemic which would have liquidated reserves at a time payroll taxes already weren't covering program costs. Employer contributions are pretax.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 3, 2024
Ron Paul still promotes crackpot conspiracy theories. He is, like a number of GOP idiots like Nancy Mace, trying to imagine Biden "corruption" over Burisma. I've personally debunked this crap, and I don't like Biden. So, Paul is arguing the Hunter pardon was all about Ukraine.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 3, 2024
You want to know what Biden should do with his pardon authority which would cause a nuclear Trumper Tantrum? A blanket pardon for all unauthorized entries to the US. I'm certain he can do that. I would love to see Trump if and when it happens.

The rumor is if Hegseth's Defense Secretary nomination fails, FL Gov. DeSantis may be named to replace him. Oddly enough, it seems alleged drinking issues, not his lack of qualifications, may sink Hegseth. Of course, alcohol issues matter in classification status.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 4, 2024
I understand Biden was worried anti-Biden partisan Republicans weren't satisfied with the gun and tax charges against Hunter (e.g., unregistered foreign agent), and U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika had balked at a related sweeping plea deal, hence his unusual broad pardon.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 4, 2024
No. The Constitution has a balance of powers and the Congress has the responsibility of oversight. the Congress makes the laws, not the President. Only Trump is stupid enough to hire incompetent losers like Gaetz and Hegseth.
