Thomas Sowell summed up that thought well, “It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.”
He can pardon himself, though it’s never happened before. But then, so much this regime has done has never happened before in lawfare and that’s never stopped them. I wouldn’t be surprised if on the way out Joe pardons himself and Trump as well. A final barb to the DNC for their coup against him!
The Biden’s are as crooked as they come I would be going after Jill. She signed their tax returns which hasn’t declared all of their income etc. so after Jan 21 you go after her and throw the book at her. Hunter is committing a crime as we speak he is such a scumbag. Let’s get a DA in someplace like ND or Wyoming to charge him hell you can manufacture the crime just like the NY DA did. Try him in a jurisdiction that went 80%+ for Trump and jail Hunter and Jill for the rest of Joe’s life which won’t be for long.
A president can’t pardon on anything that hasn’t been formally charged yet. There’s evidence of other crimes that have been set aside in legal limbo, such as sexual assault, and I’m betting they are waiting until 1:PM on January 20th to formally issue the charges, although Hunter will probably miss the inauguration because he’ll be in a country with no extradition treaty, just in case.
The pardon has immediate effect - and Biden is still in office until 21 January of next year - that's nearly two months. The effect of the pre-emptive pardon is that Hunter may be compelled to answer questions by, say, a House committee - and he wouldn't be able to plead the Fifth Amendment. They could serve him by Friday with the subpoena, and have him in on Monday, December 9 - plenty of time to ask lots and lots of questions. And they could subpoena lots and lots of documents - and a lot of people will still be very much on the hook. There's a good reason that pardons are done on the last day of an Administration...
Your last sentence is exactly what I’ve been wondering all day. Did HB’s sentencing hearings this week and the 16th force JB’s hand? I figured the pardon was baked when HB changed his plea to guilty in September. He had to, a trial would have exposed everything. Likewise, I expected a delay of some sort would happen with the sentencing. But now the door is open to numerous strategies, assuming anyone is willing to pursue them. Makes me go hmm.
I'll guarantee you Biden doesn't think he or his family has done anything wrong. He see's it as his birthright in politics. This is the way all politicians go in with a normal amount of money and come out millionaires. Grift is part of the reward of being elected. They all do it; Biden just got greedier as his status increased. No one will be held accountable as almost all of them do it.
Pardon them ALL on January 22nd. Period. Nothing any J6er did, even the worst of them, is nearly as bad as Hunter and James Biden and a cohort of other liars and cheaters like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi
And on the founder of Polymarket after the 2024 election, and sending IRS agents to Matt Taibi’s house right before he was scheduled to testify before Congress…
MSNBC! America This Week, hosted by Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn on Monday evenings at 8:00 PM EST ( YouTube ), had great fun with them last week.
If you want to laugh like Hell, go back to last week's program at about an hour and fifteen minutes in, and feast on Kirn's hallucinatory vision of what he would like to see become of MSNBC.
Walter and Matt are truth tellers. Liberals like them who are willing to appear on and be roasted by Greg Gutfeld, a former Democrat like a lot of us, can be trusted with the truth.
I think last evening's program was the best they’ve done. It was like Kay coming to grips with how destructive the Corleones are, and how extensive their empire is.
Kash does not need a show. Do exactly what Elon Musk did with Twitter and invite in a few intrepid reporters who want to break a story, like Bari and Matt did with the Twitter files. Give them access to anything they want after declassifying 99% of what Wray and company classified, and let the facts fly
Here’s a perfect example of a superbly highly qualified person committed to helping Trump and Elon fix the country. His name is Brian Kim. He has a very popular (2.33M subscribers) YouTube site called “ClearValue Tax” which I follow for financial information. He’s highly educated, has an IQ of 140 and is quite committed to helping fix his country. He will work for free to fix the IRS. I highly recommend watching this and sharing it with others. He’s really impressively talented. I think his parents are Vietnamese refugees to America.
“I Applied to DOGE to Fix the IRS: Here’s My Resume to Trump & Elon Musk.” (6 min)
We definitely knew this coming, but it's still so annoying. The first hint was when Joe, a lifelong pathological liar, outright denied he would pardon Hunter, and we thought 'yeah, whatever'. But here we are, and Joe and Hunter have slithered away with another one.
I think enough folks have finally come to grips with the Media is dead as we knew them. We now can follow true experts via other means which is why we are here with you.
In a way, this is good. Going after Hunter was always going to be portrayed as some sort of a perversion of justice, tit-for-tat, or going after the son in order to get to the real target (the father).
All that is now off the table.
Which means the Trump administration is free to go after the other criminals in the government, of which there is no shortage.
Maybe start with a certain other criminal family that has created the term "Arkancide". And the Epstein files. Guessing there will be connections there.
I read last night that this pardon may backfire on Hunter as he can now be forced to testify under oath about his criminal family’s misdeeds without being able to invoke his fifth amendment right against self incrimination.
That’s right! So will Joe pardon the whole family and himself? Others?
I hope pardons don’t result in weakened spines. Pursuing truth might go a very long way in helping people to understand what we’ve understood for so long.
Taking a page from the Democrat’s playbook, the president can only pardon from federal prosecutors, not state prosecutors . Red state Attorneys General, start your engines!
The msm is just a branch of our profoundly corrupt and quite deranged Democratic Party. Pastor Corey Brooks is a good man in Englewood, a south side of Chicago war zone that now also has the “migrants,” including the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua” to deal with. The damage done by democrats which they are quite determined to continue doing will be an ongoing and severe problem for our society but at least we now have the momentum on our side. Thank God Trump won. He also has a fabulous team and hopefully he can get them all confirmed.
Pastor slams blue city over migrant situation: It ‘surely isn’t being a ‘sanctuary city.’ (2 min)
I’m having all kinds of problems with the Substack app on my iPad. No problems with my iPhone. A lot of others seem to be also. I contacted support, issues remain the same.
Thanks Dena, I’ve done the hard boot and the app is up to date. You’re right, support is not at all supportive. Very frustrating, especially since I do love my substack.
On certain Substacks I can’t post a long reply, no idea why. My device seems to have nothing to do with it. (Right now I’m using an iPad.)The “”Reply” button disappears. Weird.
That was once or twice my experience. I wrote a very long post (on Loury's site), only to see it not posted, and then, not realizing what the problem was, re-wrote it only to see it again not posted. Lesson learned.
“Well, on the upside this does give Trump the chance to pardon almost anyone, but especially the January 6th protesters.”
Please pardon my disagreement Sasha, but that is incorrect.
If the fascist far-left is known for anything, it’s being able to turn on a dime with double standards that will make your head swim.
The same people who have no qualms over criminals – because after all, they’re the down trodden – while going after grandmothers who walked around a public building. Will have no problem persecuting their political enemies. The National Socialist media is still going to complain about this until the end of time.
That points to a fundamental difference between the authoritarians of the Anti-liberty Left and the patriots of the Pro-freedom Right.
Yes, they’re going to complain, shave their heads and tell us to leave them alone (no problem there) no matter what we do.
Although for me, I’ve found the saying to be ‘If a tree falls in the forest does it really hit the ground – or does it run into other trees? That’s the bane of dealing with dead trees around our property, but that’s another story.
As a father, this time, my first ever, I side with Joe ... after all if Hunter ended up in this mess he did so because his father enabled it ... Old Man Joe should have been there to stop it, not enable it.
Joe is too far gone for indicting him ... he is over, a no longer useable puppet by the Puppet Masters.
However, the many parties who sought to abuse the rule of law and weaponised the DOJ and the alphabet agencies against Trump are not.
Trump is not going to pursue Old Man Joe, like he did not want to cause hundreds of Iranian widows in retaliation for the Iranian downing of an unmanned US drone. This "evil" man comes up like a saint compared to the war mongering likes of Papa Cheney, his Baby Lizzie Cheney, Victoria Nuland, and Her Majesty, Hillary ...
Horrifically distinct from Trump's empathy, Hillary Rodham Clinton who chuckled when corrupted by donor monies from Qatar and Saudi Arabia and enabled by the shameful South African seat at the UN Security Council, succeeded in ending Gaddafi ... sodomised with a bayonet in a dusty culvert!!!
HRC is enough to make anyone puke in revulsion ...
Bondi with Patel must investigate the deliberate weaponisation of the DOJ and alphabet agencies to stifle the "will of the American people" ... albeit they were not successful these criminals need to be held fully accountable to the maximum provided for by the law.
The best is that Sam Harris guy (Wikipedia: neuroscientist, philosopher, and podcaster) demonstrating that even a "philosopher" today need not have one milligram of critical thinking to be a successful leftist. I have heard that dead bodies thing before but nice to be reminded and see it in context. Here is a clown who says that no matter how bad anything Biden (either one of them) ever did or could have done, it would not change his positive outlook on the Bidens or cause him to reevaluate his opinions on Trump (doesn't sound very "philosopher-like" to me! "I have an opinion and nothing in the universe would ever make me change it" sounds more like a brainwashed zombie!!).
The other point here is why with Joe's huge list of corruption including packing his own son's nose filled with cocaine and his bedroom with prostitutes while forcing him to "go get his money" from some of the most dangerous corners of the globe never impacted Joe's becoming President. Even Monica Lewinski had some impact on Clinton ... and as bad as that was, it was nothing compared to the compromising position Biden put our entire country in selling whatever he sold to the Chinese, Russians (!), Ukrainians, and who knows who else. Why was he allowed (by the media, celebrities, and "alphabet agencies") to get away with it? It's obvious to critical thinkers (i.e., people who are unlike Sam Harris): The letter agencies in the U.S. had complete control over every word our of Biden's mouth from day 1. They had (and continue to have) so much "dirt" on the guy that he is forced to do whatever they tell him without question. A true puppet. Sam Harris maybe didn't think about that, but apparently it wouldn't have bothered him if he did, because, well, Trump and all.
The problem with Harris's argument is what is, or should be, called "unfalsifiability". But every time I type that word, spell check considers it a non-word ...
If you read Miranda Devine’s book “The Laptop from Hell,” that’s certainly the impression I get. Hunter and all his kids were clearly used by him. I don’t have a problem with the pardoning of Hunter, unless he refuses to testify.
I’m sure there’s a lot more to this. One report from a WH source (unnamed, so take it with a grain of salt) is the Hunter threatened Joe with telling everything he knows unless Joe pardoned him. Plausible theory, I think!
Thomas Sowell summed up that thought well, “It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.”
Democrats are the moral busybodies that C.S. Lewis referred to: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/democratic-governors-vow-to-fight?r=76q58
Both Sowell and Lewis are excellent writers. I've read most of what each has written. They never disappoint.
Painfully true quotation.
Well, of course, we all knew how this was going to end. But as you said, Sasha, now it's the J 6th protesters' turn.
Who's going to pardon Crooked old Joe Biden when he's convicted?
JUSTICE needs SERVED to The Big Guy❗️
👇
He can pardon himself, though it’s never happened before. But then, so much this regime has done has never happened before in lawfare and that’s never stopped them. I wouldn’t be surprised if on the way out Joe pardons himself and Trump as well. A final barb to the DNC for their coup against him!
The Biden’s are as crooked as they come I would be going after Jill. She signed their tax returns which hasn’t declared all of their income etc. so after Jan 21 you go after her and throw the book at her. Hunter is committing a crime as we speak he is such a scumbag. Let’s get a DA in someplace like ND or Wyoming to charge him hell you can manufacture the crime just like the NY DA did. Try him in a jurisdiction that went 80%+ for Trump and jail Hunter and Jill for the rest of Joe’s life which won’t be for long.
Charge the Big Guy for showering with his daughter, per his daughter.
Yeah, and that just seems to get swept under the rug.
I read the her diary. She talks about Creepy Ass Joe Biden showering with her. His daughter!
You can't make this stuff up.
Let 2 IRS whistle blowers perform the audit of Dr Jill. Poetic justice.
Brilliant idea
He can't pardon himself if he's NOT PRESIDENT.
And guess what? Give it a couple of months.
A president can’t pardon on anything that hasn’t been formally charged yet. There’s evidence of other crimes that have been set aside in legal limbo, such as sexual assault, and I’m betting they are waiting until 1:PM on January 20th to formally issue the charges, although Hunter will probably miss the inauguration because he’ll be in a country with no extradition treaty, just in case.
Wrong - it's known as a pre-emptive pardon:
"In the 1915 case of Burdick v. U.S., George Burdick refused a pre-emptive pardon ... because accepting it would have meant that he could not claim his Fifth Amendment privilege when called to give testimony relating to the pardoned crime before a grand jury." https://www.brookings.edu/articles/presidential-pardons-settled-law-unsettled-issues-and-a-downside-for-trump/
The pardon has immediate effect - and Biden is still in office until 21 January of next year - that's nearly two months. The effect of the pre-emptive pardon is that Hunter may be compelled to answer questions by, say, a House committee - and he wouldn't be able to plead the Fifth Amendment.

Likewise, I expected a delay of some sort would happen with the sentencing. But now the door is open to numerous strategies, assuming anyone is willing to pursue them. Makes me go hmm.
It seems reasonable to me, though perhaps I do not know enough, to think that pardons are not intended to be reflexive.
I'll guarantee you Biden doesn't think he or his family has done anything wrong. He see's it as his birthright in politics. This is the way all politicians go in with a normal amount of money and come out millionaires. Grift is part of the reward of being elected. They all do it; Biden just got greedier as his status increased. No one will be held accountable as almost all of them do it.
They don’t all sell out their country for the big bucks like Joey did.
But yet he's somehow supposed to be mentally competent enough to be TPOTUS?
It was ALWAYS "their turn!"
Pardon them ALL on January 22nd. Period. Nothing any J6er did, even the worst of them, is nearly as bad as Hunter and James Biden and a cohort of other liars and cheaters like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi
As a final FU to Joe Biden, Trump should award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tony Bobulinski and Miranda Devine.
Raid their Delaware house twice a week for next four years.
If Kash takes over the FBI there will be so much Democrat corruption to report he will need a regular show on Rumble. Maybe Tucker could host.
They seriously need to divide and conquer, focusing on the many different scandals.
Let’s start a list of things we want answers to and for which we want accountability and deterrence:
- Russiagate origins
- Treasonous activities of Executive Branch and military officials during Trump’s first term
- 2020 election
- J6
- 1st J6 committee
- Afghanistan withdrawal
- Everything Covid and MRna
- Weaponization of government agencies against Americans
- Treatment of J6 prisoners
- DEI in government
- Use of all Government Agencies for 2024 election
- Assassination attempts (Lack if proper SS protection)
- Border issues- NGO’s role, trafficking truth
- True role of government in censorship
- Census
I know I’m forgetting TONS

I reckon something like this is also happening with sites like GoFundMe.
Yep. For example, the Canadian truckers and Kyle Rittenhouse.
Oh, it absolutely happens. All the time. That's why GiveSendGo exists, full stop.
GiveSendGo has taken its place for conservative causes.
Wow!
FBI raids pro-life protestor home.

The grisly truth is that Joe could pardon himself. He won't, though, he'll cop a plea on the "demented old gentleman" line.

Try a hard boot on your iPad. And make sure your app is updated. Sometimes that works. Substack support not responsive.

So, not only is Joe Biden America's worst grandfather, he is also America's worst president.
On 5/31/24 Joe Biden tweeted,
“No one is above the law.”
That played out well.
Hear me out.
Hunter has many demons and I can’t fathom the addictions he had/has. Was it of his own accord? Sure.
But what kind of father was Joe to use his son for so many things and the pressure he was under to further his corrupt father.
Honestly, I feel sorry for Hunter.
Yes, yes it’s his own fault but damn his father sure doesn’t seem like a good father.
You used your son to further your career.
Yeah, Hunter is a reprobate but I sure wouldn’t want Joe as my dad.
If you read Miranda Devine’s book “The Laptop from Hell,” that’s certainly the impression I get. Hunter and all his kids were clearly used by him. I don’t have a problem with the pardoning of Hunter, unless he refuses to testify.
I’m sure there’s a lot more to this. One report from a WH source (unnamed, so take it with a grain of salt) is the Hunter threatened Joe with telling everything he knows unless Joe pardoned him. Plausible theory, I think!
It’s all a bit like the relationship between Logan (the father) and Kendall (the son) in HBO’s Succession.
