Good

This was totally justified with Trump's Retribution Regime coming into power.

Just wait until 1/21/2025.

You keep asking why Joe Biden changed his mind. The country just voted for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. The MAGA House of horrors tortured Hunter and I expect it will get worse after the fat guy is sworn in. Enough is enough. Get over it.

Good for him. Now watch the magast go crazy below

It's the President's prerogative who the President pardons. And the pardon power is plenary. Presidents don't owe anybody explanations for why they pardon somebody. Remember that when stepping into the melodramatic outrage surrounding this news.

Finally. A middle finger to the norms from a Democrat.

All the bullshit people Trump is appointing, the Nazis, the sex offenders, the unqualified, and the pardons that he will apply to himself and anybody else he wants. I am thrilled that Biden pardon his son on bullshit charges.

Good

Opening salvos of a very American civil war in political life. There is a lot of hate around in the US and this insane act by Biden only escalates the political conflict. America has lost its moral compass.

Absolutely 💯 approve this. I know he said he would not do so but considering the felon and rapist who will be entering the Whitehouse in January for much worse. Happy about this

The new administration doesn’t yet know what the new administration will be or what they will be doing. Talking heads are in the dark along with the rest of the world. The untied States of America will be wingin’ it for months. The whole world is gonna need a lot of Pepto for the upcoming ride!

I approve. Put Trump in prison first, so he can pardon himself whilst his six boot licking SC lackeys look the other way.

Based on the vitriolic comments to this news, Blue Sky has become as disgusting as X.

Excellent news!

Good. Hunter was a Republican witch hunt.

And with that stroke of a pen Biden signs away the moral high ground - shame on him.

I don't blame him

Great!

I have no problem with this whatsoever. Orange Man did it for Jared's dad so tit for tat.

Good. So glad!

Understandable - but not good.

U people no longer have the moral high ground u invented

Good, the whole thing has been a political witch hunt. He has done far less than Trump and half his cabinet and Hunter never even had a government position. I hope it pisses off MAGAts

I’m here for it!

Dear @CNN Biden would be Insane to Not pardon him. He had to or Trump will crucify him.FBI AND JUSTICE DEPT WILL BE WEAPONIZED BY TRUMP.

Not to do so would have been moral Masochism

“Compared to the list of Traitor Tot's pardons, hunter Biden is an absolute angel. “ Mark Hamil See for yourself: rb.gy/lfkzsb

Too bad his Justice Dept couldn’t find the guts to jail Traitor Trump for insurection.

I’m glad he did.

This is what any good parent would do if given the option. Make life better for their child.

Anyone would have done this! BTW- how can you keep Scott Jennings on your channel? I can’t watch any show with him on it!

I do it for my kids

Good. The only reason he was charged was because of who his father was. He already paid back the taxes and lying about his addiction to get a gun, nobody is ever charged for that!

And just like that MAGA is against pardons

Good. I’m tired of us playing by all the rules and the degenerates doing whatever the hell they want without repercussions.

seems just fine by your existing standards

Beautiful. A totally unwarranted and ridiculous clown show. America is sick of these useless GOP goons accomplishing nothing as they lie, cheat and do Putin’s bidding. And no matter how much CNN tries to equivocate and sane-wash them, the end result will be the loss of your core audience.

Doing what they projected onto the Democrats for doing. Such an immoral group of thugs the GOP has become.

I’m happy with President Biden’s decision! A country (media) that legitimizes Donald Trump has zero moral authority to question President Biden’s decision in this matter, full stop!

Good. With Trump’s cabinet pics and Comer making threats again, Biden would be crazy not to protect his son. How bout a nice article on Charles Kushner, Jarred’s dad? You know, the convicted felon Trump pardoned and now gave a sweet appointment?

In a normal world, I would say this is unacceptable nepotism. But when the incoming administration has made it clear that revenge is a motivating factor for how they’ll govern… ethics is getting increasingly fuzzy in 2024.

“Criminals” is a very subjective term, Susan.

Only MAGAts can ask for pardons? I did not know that. All these a$$e$ did I guess..

I think this is awesome. Now maybe seal team 6? You have the Supreme Court approval.

I am so grateful. At this point F decorum and being the bigger person. Id like him to pardon a ton of folks.

I’m glad to see this. The GOP have no leg to stand on in their protests. They nominated and voted for a convicted felon repeatedly. President-Elect Trump is that 34 time convicted felon. By contrast, Hunter’s felony convictions are typically charged as misdemeanors for others.

34 felonies, wait that's Trump

Surely this was well thought out and there's absolutely no way it could backfire.

Just FO, can't you fecking put the reasoning in the topic? Instead you forget to tell about 34 count convicted felon going to highest office of the land with a promise to pardon Jan 6 insurrectionists.

Booo

bsky.app/profile/gran...

With all the bull going around I would have done the same thing!

Pardon my student loan also

Good, America voted for a fucking corrupt felon. This is nothing

sounds good to me

Talk about MAggot triggers.

Love it

It's his prerogative. You think this smells bad.. wait for Trump to pardon all the January 6 peaceful protesters

Good for Joe!

Based on who Trump has nominated for the top positions in the DOJ and the FBI, I’d say this was a very smart and necessary move by President Joe Biden.

President Biden should pardon Michael Cohen

As he should. I fully support this. The GOP has had their fun and even they will move on to other targets that are more politically expedient.

Why is Scott Jennings still on your network? He lies, twists facts and you basically never have someone on the panel that can check him. Well Conway called him out and you got rid of the wrong guy.

Dark Brandon stikes!

#FreeHunter

MAGA cult can go cry about it. Good for Joe and Hunter

Good

Good. Fascist Trump and his sick Fascists would have harmed HUNTER.

YES!!!

Drinking up the maga tears.

Hey CNN...what's this?!? www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

Good time to mention that the incoming President - that voters chose - is a CONVICTED FELON!

Good time to mention that Trump has promised to pardon all the J6 Terrorists, don't you think?

Yahoo buckaroo.....GOOD

For sure honey, I totally agree! Rules for thee but not for me!

Came here to look for maga to block. They never disappoint.

aka fuck trump

As he should have so Trump can’t go after him. But then I saw your headline and how you phrased it. I came here to remind you, you are a failed news station

NI. Any news?

Great! Good for you Mr President!

GREAT NEWS

I’m sure the Party of Law and Order who elected a 34 X felon, who is libel for sexual assault and incited an insurrection will be suitably outraged.

Lies just like every politician

Us hired a president with so many felonies so Hunter is like a lamb.

I’m with Joe in this one.

CNN clutching their pearls. One day they may realize they are culpable in normalizing Trump’s shit. So brave to call this out but will accept anything MAGA wants.

He did the right thing because the in coming Govt said they will basically hang Americans that they don't like. Eye openers here from Canada.

All the presidents are corrupt figures at the end of there term. Trump did the same for a lot of criminal friends at the end. @corruptrepublicans.bsky.social

No surprise

Good!!!

Good. It’s time the Bidens start using that power for good.

Unfortunately, this will now set the precedent for (and be cited by) President Trump to start handing out pardons to family and friends in jail, under indictment, or pending future indictment if/when they commit a crime.

free the GOAT

With all my support to him, disgraceful act. We lost our basic morals and way in this day and age, too bad that even good people lose their way

#hunterbidenpardon Biden should make Hunter ambassador to France, since Trump pardoned Jared Kushner’s father in 2020 and is now nominating him for ambassador.

CNN helped get us a far right wing Nazi president with a revenge list and now they want to talk about this..

Not only MAGA but also the media apply double standards: a gentleman is expected to be a sage, while a villain can act wickedly without restraint.

If Hunter Biden was a Republican, this would have won him 2028 nomination

You’re complaining about President Biden after every rule of the Presidency Trump broke and is going to break, #unbelievable

The Trump administration should go through all the similar gun violations and tax evasion convictions and issue a pardon on all those who were convicted of those same charges.

Don't matter! Within a year, Hunter will rack up more charges! He can't help himself! He's a spoiled thug!

It's good that Biden did this. Period.

After a week of activists and 60 members of congress asking Biden to save 40 lives on death row, he pardons his son?

Love it

How about something on Paul Manafort, Charles Kushner, Roger Stone and that traitor, Mike Flynn.

Here ya go CNN. No one says it quite as clearly as Jeff Tiedrich.

So it doesn’t matter to any of you that Biden on National TV assured the nation he would not pardon Hunter. I don’t care that he did it. It’s his legal right to do it, but you’re only a bunch of full of shit hypocrites. Remember? “No one is above the law.” Nancy Piglosy.

We don't have problem with president Biden pardoning his son Hunter of breaking firearm and failure to file IRS returns.It's also a fact that millions of Americans in similar situations would have to complete their jail sentence without benefit of a pardon. America has dual justice systems.

Love it.

Joe beat Trump at his own game ! How are Comer and Jordan going to fill their time now that the prime target of their useless inquisition has gone away

I don't blame him. A felon, is going into the white house.

MAGA supporters and Republicans would gladly back Trump's pardon of J6 criminals and his family members, yet oppose this move. 😂😂 Get over it.. past president had pardon the worst criminals

Good - I expect to see the same right wingers whining when trump pardons all his criminal buddies... Oh wait.

Awesome! Way to go, Biden.

To my philosophically inclined friends, what considerations of the precept of justice, if any, should be examined in this situation?

"Nobady is above the law" they said. "He will never pardon his son" they said. "I will never pardon my son" he said. They all lied.
