Thank you so much for your service. No matter where you serve, those who provide our services (even the IRS :)) help deliver the services we rely on daily.
Anyone who equates Joe's pardon of Hunter to the pardons Trump has issued and will issue in the future should be immediately deported to Russia where they will be more at home. Now Joe needs to pardon thousands of journalists and politicians who are also on Trump's radar but if he forgets the mealy mouthed both sidesers I for one won't care. Next, before leaving office Joe should pardon himself. This will protect him when Trump comes after him and when the Supreme Court says he can't pardon himself it will protect us from Trump pardoning himself.
Right, Margie, Joe should do everything in his power to protect those who serve democracy including himself, and damn the repug torpedoes. They will keep coming regardless, so best to get out from in front of them.
It will be such a joke to see Putin put Trump and his team of idiots through his "meat grinder". They have no idea who they are trying to "play" with, which makes me terrified for our country!
As long as Trump complies with Putin all will be well.....if Trump or anyone on Trump's team attempts to stand in Putin's way.....well I personally would be afraid of being poisoned or dying in an explosive plane crash.
President Joe Biden bowed before no one!! President Joe Biden has stood for America...for freedom...respecting the freedom of choice for women...honoring those who fight for freedom throughout the world....for equal rights for ALL American citizens. He has worked to contribute to the betterment of the forgotten Indian Tribes in this country. He and his team have worked to demonstrate that love and acceptance towards our fellow citizenry brings strength. He has contributed to the growth of good jobs for Americans and so much more. He renewed friendships with our global family. Sadly, relationships will be difficult with Trump. Trust will be broken. Beloved Ukraine will no doubt lose our support and Putin will continue his goal of creating "old Russia" by taking over other countries near by. Security will be questionable.
Even now in the Middle East, Putin is making his moves...just as he foresaw and planned.
No President is perfect. Government only works as well as its citizenry participates!
Hell and revenge are coming for people on Trump's list...President Joe Biden did what he could for his son while he was able. May God protect Joe Biden and his family!
Thank you President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris (whom I voted for!) for your love of this country and for all the great work you and your team have done!!!!
Biden should not pardon any MSM journalist that participated in the sane washing of trump and his merry men of maliciousness. Let trump have them, they will deserve everything he throws at them. Also, the ones that are upset with a father pardoning his son to keep him from political prosecution for years to come, even the Democratic ones, should be left to trump's future plans for purging the government of all but loyalist.
He may think his presidential immunity covers that, but they could go back to his vice presidency, or even to his time in the senate. Plus it would make SCOTUS rule on self-pardons, without the president being Trump.
He also needs to pardon Michael Cohen who was jailed , convicted, and served several months in solitary confinement for refusing to sign a made up document giving away his First Amendment rights. He was writing a book about Trump.
My first reaction to Hunters pardon was AMEN. When I saw Patel my heart palpitated to 163. Baboom oh sh! Keith Olbermann’s Countdown today which I agree with is that more pardons are needed to protect everyone who voiced opinion- with a hotline to get onboard https://open.spotify.com/episode/1AnatgW6cXVTzrrRgyogpA?si=uNZunG15SJKrX3UxqxTTHA
So that is why Jared Kushner ended up with all of that money. Makes sense to me. I noticed even The Atlantic criticized the Biden pardon. Shame on them. They should have spent that article on Patel's lunatic behavior and rhetoric.
Destroying our democracy is the point! That’s their intention! They plan to dismantle every government agency and department. I would not sanewash anything you hear. What they say they are going to do, is exactly what they intend to do!
Thank you for pointing all of this out Ron! I am so glad he pardoned Hunter!
Thank you again for setting the record straight. Are people so incredibly naive or ignorant that they can not see what Trump and his choices for different positions actually stand for?? Wake up Democrats! Get your head on straight. With whatever knowledge you have heard, and seen already, what President Biden did was to protect his only remaining son. Democrats either get on board with those if us that use our heads and connect the dots to the truth of what is going on , or get out of the way!!! Your rhetoric is incredible demeaning and demoralizing to those of us that can see the reality of what is happening! I for one applaud President Biden, please keep reading the writing on the wall!
It should never have been allowed to get this far. The prosecution was vengeful, vindicate and without legal basis or precedent. Merrick Garland, legal puritan that he is, should have put a stop to it. Joe Biden's pardon is righteous.
Merrick Garland was definitely not the person for this job! He sat on his hands for 20 months doing absolutely nothing about Jan 6! He should have appointed Jack Smith immediately & moved on the Jan 6 insurrectionists like a force of nature! We’ve had TRAITORS in Congress who have not had so much as a slap on the wrist for their involvement in Jan 6. Mike Johnson was a key figure & yet, he’s sitting as Speaker of the House? 3rd in line to the presidency?? A normal civilian gets thrown in jail for not pay taxes, while these crooks are in Congress making laws for the rest of us to obey, what part of THAT is not insanity? And yet, we are allowing this? Not we, the people, but people who we have elected on our behalf!! WTF? 🤬 😳🤬
Kash is a danger to our democracy! Like Trump's first term, I hope good patriots in the FBI are ready to undermine MAGA. Many civil servants like me will protect democracy from inside the government: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/public-servant-democracy-defender-introduction
Thankyou !!! Knowing you're there, defending Democracy, helps with this fear we all feel
Thank you!
If you can keep the job. . .
Thank you so much for your service. No matter where you serve, those who provide our services (even the IRS :)) help deliver the services we rely on daily.
just hope there are many many such civil servants.
Just be very careful public servant - very very dangerous people.
This is the take that resonates with me the most. Bravo.

Yes, smoke out the corrupt 6!
I'm glad President Biden pardoned his son. He's too honorable a man to have done this capriciouslly
Thanks for revealing the true story here. Now it makes sense to me. If Biden hadn’t pardoned Hunter it would have been a long drawn out nightmare.
A longer drawn out nightmare. This has been going on for years!
Why are Dems wasting a second justifying this? The President gets to pardon anyone he/she wants. He should pardon everyone he wants to.
Biden needs to pardon death row inmates, as Trump intends to do a slew of executions! He gets his jollies killing people!
He also needs to pardon Michael Cohen who was jailed , convicted, and served several months in solitary confinement for refusing to sign a made up document giving away his First Amendment rights. He was writing a book about Trump.
I can't blame Joe. They want to sacrifice his last son, and the right will eat it up with fevered joy. It's almost biblical.

100%
Thank you Ron for such clearly stated reasons.
Truthful reporting, the hypocrisy from the Republicans, and complicit media is amazing. BRAVO BIDEN.
This is why MeidasTouch is a 1000x better. Because you guys actually looked at this nutcase’s history & call the scumbag for who he is.
You summed this up perfectly. I agree Bravo.
