President Biden’s hypocrisy on full display: Pardons his own son after making a point about ‘independent’ justice"
In a move that’s being hailed as a “full and unconditional” pardon, President Joe Biden has announced that he’s granting his son Hunter Biden a free pass for all federal charges related to his time between 2014-2024. Just 50 days before leaving office, Biden had previously declared that he wouldn’t be making the move, stating he’d abide by the jury’s decision. But now, it seems he was just playing a different tune.
TL;DR
President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who was facing up to 25 years in prison for lying on a federal form about his drug addiction. This comes after months of saying he wouldn’t make the move, and is being met with criticism from politicians and others who called him out on his earlier stance. A case of “my family is more important than I am” - how about keeping your promises for once?
Fuck you Biden could have pardon everyone son arrested for pot.
Didn’t biden admin pardon non-violent drug offenders?
Yes for marijuana possession convictions specifically at a federal level, he felt he didn’t have the authority to pardon State convictions.
after he overturned all the federal convictions, he said:
"Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely due to the use or possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either”

That’s because he doesn’t have that authority. Your quote is him gently hinting to the states that they should follow his lead, but there’s nothing he can do to force them to.
that is an accurate paraphrasing of his statement and my comment explaining it.
I don’t think the president can pardon for state crimes. I mean, at least this supreme court isn’t gonna let Biden pardon for state crimes anyways.
Also no he didn’t.
Definitely pardoned non-violent, non-distributing cannabis users. Doesn’t expand to other drugs that it should, but that’s a lot of convictions.
Federal convicted, so a guy burning one at the national Park. State charges still stick. Honesty what world do you live in that you think this is enough?
What the fuck did you want him to do about state charges? 💀
