Joe Biden had zero obligation to sacrifice his son’s freedom to please the likes of the crew at the Bulwark

The virtuous who want others to be moral with their physical risk and never put themselves in harms way is exactly why this country is dead

Another example of the way democrats are held to a completely different set of standards than Trump/MAGA! It’s complete BS! Biden did the right thing and should start handing out more pardons! Think DOJ, dems in government and the left media!

They tried so hard to keep that impulse hidden. Didn't take much. But it was inevitable. Why? Because they were anti-Trump, period. They never believed he was just the result of the party they made, the party they hoped to resurrect. You want me to believe you're anti-MAGA, start with Goldwater.

The reason this is pissing everyone off so much is because we need Democrats to fight. All those people clutching pearls whenever a Democrat fights back are looking to keep the party weak so they can be controlled. It's manipulative and gross.

Tim Miller seems to also forget he’s a gay journalist with an adopted child. Instead of being mad about Biden he needs to ask himself what would he do if Patel comes after him? Would he not make moves to protect his own family?

Kash Patel, with his enemies list, he PUBLISHED in his book! Talk about a double standard. Dems always have to walk a fine line while the thriving lying right and the bloated convicted FELON get away with it ALL.

I'am not warching The Bulwark anymore, i kind of not surprised @ Charlie's reaction, but Tim suprised me.All Repubs are maga @ heart. Where's the outrage when cops were beaten by the maga mob??? If you guys had did your jobs,Trump would be in jail where he belongs.

Saw Sam's reply and am guessing Tim's was similar. This election has shown that all those former political operatives are just looking for power and influence so are looking to maintain the political status quo. They hate Trump bc he's a disruptor, not because of what he's doing to this country.

How insightfull of a response!! I never really looked at it from your perspective. In retrospect what you is true. The never Trumpers, were never Pro-Biden, or Pro-Dems, they were looking to maintain their revalence, their status quo.Trump disrupted that.

It's still depressing and enraging AF to see the legacy media tsk-tsking Biden's pardon when they could have given a shit when DT pardoned goons like Mike Flynn, Steve Bannon and Roger Stone... to reward them for their silence. The only thing more corrupt than the MAGA syndicate is our legacy media

I’ve seen A LOT of Team Bulwark/Bullshit on MSNBC. I have always taken them with a giant salt lick. I always felt they’d go back to their happy place!

Joe is playing by the new rules. Bulwark is playing by the old rules that keep losing the game, and the ref doesn’t care. You don’t have to like the new rules, but if you don’t adapt…you’ll never win again.

It’s time for President Biden to not give a ____________ (fill in the blank) what any journalists or pundits have to say. They can “shove off .”

true . . . the press loves to pile on Joe for every misstep - real or imagined meanwhile sane washing Trump every step of the way it used to be unthinkable! Joe's a pro - he can cope vs the Thin Skinned Orange Toddler who can't tolerate opposition apparently it's hard for Decency to come out on top

Agreed! It’s the sane washing of Trump and his ilk that we now have to be subjected to again by the MSM and press. It’s mind numbing.

Yes I was very upset with Tim. I am sure if the shoe was on the other foot he would not be thinking the same way. Kash already said that if he took over the FBI he would find all new crimes to pin on him. Thank you President Biden for doing what any good father would do. Enough is enough.

Why didn't he appoint a Democrat to head the FBI? Too bad he lied about appointing a US AG to actually enforce laws against campaign fraud or to bann insurrectionists from holding public office. Lesson? Cheaters prosper here! Biden allowed Merrick Garland to fall asleep on the Job. Boo! Hiss!

Oralè Resisters 🎵. Here’s the story of ugly man named Donnie Who was busy with nine insurrectionist of his own They were ten men and women betraying our country together! Yet they were not alone The Donnie Pardon Family The Donnie Pardon Family🎵 #TheDonniePardonFamily #HunterBiden #Pardons

Meh 🫤 the Bulwark Crew are obsessed with norms, which is good as someone needs to be, but if the last election showed us anything there a no norms anymore

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

"Biden made the correct choice to protect his son against the powerful unfettered vindictiveness that is to come in a few short weeks. Let’s hope he uses what’s left of his waning days in office to stave off more of the inevitably impending horrors."

FFS! All this absurd sanctimonious, self righteous horse manure! Biden pardoned Hunter. He would have looked like a fool had he not. JFC! You people that are doing this are precisely why we lost! Disingenuous crapola! Now pardon Fauci with a blanket pardon for all Democrats, the press and us!!

People angry at our President never lost a child. The fact that rump pardons rapists, brutal scheming liars & thieves without hesitation or safety considerations for society, then employs them has nothing to do with Hunter. Another example of laws treating citizens different. Stop clutching pearls.

Going after Hunter was all political. They played a stupid game with a private citizen’s life and now they can’t anymore. I’d like Biden to go through and preemptively pardon every single journalist and person Trump and his cronies have vowed to go after. Time to fight fire with fire.

Even though the other guy keeps breaking the rules, the Bulwark people insist that Democrats must continue to follow the rules. What has that achieved, other than enabling the rule breaker to break more rules? Unusual circumstances mandate unusual strategies. Think outside the box.

Start the #resistance in your city, gather friends and family. Organize a march or a protest. Remember to remain NON-VIOLENT. Use your voice and your pen. Teach the girls how to fight dirty. (YBMC) Teach boys to respect/protect women. There is no time! Start NOW!!

Optics aren't a thing anymore. An untold amount of human suffering is coming to the US very soon. Everyone should be doing what they can to keep their families and communities safe.

But it’s completely ok for Dump to take advantage of the SCOTUS ruling. No one is even blinking an eye over these people being put in these positions. Ok Bulwark (didn’t say it-might as well have tho)

Trump spent 4 full years raving about going after Hunter in his plans of revenge against Joe Biden. How can these morons truly believe Biden was just going to feed his own son to Trump's hand-picked posse of retribution?

Or Brett Stephens. He is insufferable to the millionth degree. Tim Miller has always been consistent and one of our best communicators and fighters so I respect his opinion. The others… nope

Big Biden fan, but Joe didn’t make his son steal millions of tax dollars or illegally purchase a gun. Those were crimes hunter chose to commit and that I, as a public school teacher, would go to jail for. I’d certainly never teach again.

I don’t believe he intended to pardon Hunter. Until Old45 started filling his cabinet with people that will seek his revenge and retribution. Joe recognized Old45 wouldn’t let go of Hunter to get back at him.

You are higher than 🦒 🫏. If it was your child would you pardon him? Did you say this when Jared's dad got pardoned by Trump and given an ambassadors job? What did you think about when he gave Manafort one? Are you gonna scream from the tree tops when he pardon Weissleburg?

trump will also put his personal interests ahead of the country. of course, that type of behavior is expected from him. perhaps my expectations for democrats was too high. do you think all Ds are like ruth bader biden or are there some who have principles?

He lost a lot of the goodwill I had towards him lately with his comments about the pardon. And then he went on to trash Biden for everything he did in the past year as well. Get over yourself with your sanctimony!

Sadly, that realization resonated with me this earlier today. I really enjoyed watching The Bulwark and I liked Tim because he was from the same town growing up so it felt familiar. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see some a-hole comments, outlooks, etc. He made me second guess often. Bummer.

I like how the party of family values don't understand this. People act like they wouldn't do anything for their kids. Sure he said he wouldn't pardon him. What if he did say that though? Biden should pardon Tiffany just to eff with Trump.

Totally agree. But I hope to hell that Biden musters up that same backbone and use his immunity powers to help all of us from the onslaught of the Trump regime. Not the pardoning but the protection.

With the nutjobs he's installing at the DOJ and the FBI...they would have found a way to send Hunter Biden to Guantanamo! No father worth his salt, would allow that to happen to his son, only because he has his last name. BIDEN DID NOTHING WRONG!

My elderly client had Faux on. They went on and on about this obsessively. 'Joe lies about everything!' and Hunter got a 'sweetheart deal' that no one else would get! SO much of what they said could have been about DJT...who they said is 'now allowed' to do the same thing with the J6 prisoners. 🙄

As if Biden's suppose to ignore renewed threats to go after Hunter after he's already endured a Congressional hearing proving nothing and two prosecutions that wouldn't have otherwise been brought. Don't think his life could've been protected had he served time in prison the blood lust is so great.

I've not been keeping up with this story, on purpose. But, I assume we are seeing the media and right tell the left that they have to adhere to a much higher standard while we all ignore that the right is a shit fire with a incoming administration of rapists, criminals, pedophiles and no experience

Agreed... -Comer just itching to continue Congress' unwarranted 'investigations' into Hunter and the Biden family -Kash Patel (possibly) poised to take over leadership of the FBI -another Trump appointee slated to control DOJ time to end this bullshit Joe tried to play fair GOP went scorched earth

Yes, I've been really surprised at the pundits and media coverage of this. The only valid point is that he said he wouldn't pardon Hunter, but the promises of retribution from the right made it a necessity after they won the election. I hope there are many more similar pardons coming.

I don’t particularly like the pardon but under these circumstances I definitely understand it and I understand wanting to protect your child as the person who has been bullying them for years enters the White House. Unfortunately it’s the right thing to do.

Being someone who protects family just like everyone else I’m with you in this. Here is the authentic the Democratic Party needs to take a position on.

Yep!! From where I stand....NO ONE gets to give Biden shit.....he was the right person, at the right time, to TAKE DOWN Trump! Then he kept his head down and just got shit done! Leave him and his family ALONE!

This! These people couldn't even get their own party's shit together to kick out a fascist dictator. The idea that they expect holier than thou from the people they 'lent' their vote to, and for Biden to offer his son up on a plate to the very worst of humans, is laughable. F*ck those guys!

To magaidiots, the republicans and right-wing media hypocrites: it’s time to step back. You lack the moral high ground to lecture or even weigh in on this issue. Continuing to do so only diminishes your credibility and makes you appear foolish. Let it go.

The Bulwark crowd is ready to push back on liberals over many policy and political choices. Their sole focus is taking back control of their political party from Trump, so they can bring back the glory days of their hero, Reagan.

My only criticism is that perhaps President Biden should not have been so adamant that he would not pardon Hunter. I 100% believe that Hunter deserves a chance as a sober successful gentleman. I do ,however, like truth to prevail.

Maybe if the bloated convicted FELON hadn't won, he would have not pardoned Hunter. Circumstances have clearly changed. Just think what the FELON would have done to Hunter? I'm happy, Joe stood his ground.
