I literally don't care about the Hunter pardon. Trump pardoned Russian spies. I think pardoning a child for a dumb drug offence is fine. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Forty-five years of neoliberal salami slicing via lesser-evilism is how we got to this place.
His son is hardly a child at 54 years old. Biden is also responsible for thousands of people behind bars because of "a dumb drug offense".
I don't think that Trump should be the bar for morality and ethics in this country. It's lazy to bring him into this conversation.
You're right. I should have said "his son" instead.
I'm sure parents always will see their children as children, no matter their age.
I'm specifically talking about the silly framing of "a child" rather than "his child"
And America has proven nobody cares except the Democrats who don't vote for high horse reasons son who cares.
there are so many other people's children in jail for dumb drug offences...
...That Biden specifically helped put there with his drug and police laws.
Finished that sentence for you.
All drugs should be legal.
We all know humanity will refuse to unclench our collective butthole regarding capitalism during our lives. At least let us get high as fuck on whatever we want while we wage slave to barely make it.
Perhaps it's more about the working class suffering then it is about money and power. Remarkable if that's true.
Tell Biden drugs should be legal to his face he'd have you enslaved at your nearest private prison. This is how little of a shit he gives about criminals and their upbringing. He should have kept that same energy, but as always, rules are for the poors.
Meth? Crack? Fentanyl?
Yes.
Making drugs illegal doesn't stop use. It just makes it essentially impossible to know you're getting a clean supply that isn't laced with something else, or accidentally 100x as strong and it kills you. Plus it does nothing to address why these people felt the need to turn to these highly addictive and deadly drugs. If anything it makes the problem worse.
Based.
Yes you need the support in place also otherwise it just gets worse.
No they should not be without the other support networks in place. BC in Canada decimalized and it made shit worse. You need the support infrastructure in place to help people with addiction also.
...A child?
Does "an offspring" sound better? A "progeny"!?
If you can't deduct that they mean HIS child then I'm sorry but you're why disinformation is so effective.
It does seem pretty banana republic-y
If the peel fits, join the bunch.
