    To be fair, I doubt he’d pardon hunter if Kalama won. Can you imagine what would happen to Hunter with DoJ under trump admin? Yes he did crimes, but crimes need to have proportional punishment, which I doubt trump admin is gonna be fair about it.

    Feeding your son to a felon president is a bad idea.

        It’s really sad to me that the Portland community is moderated by a center right liberal.

          Portland in general needs a large dose of common sense if we want to have a livable city.

            Yeah, cause there is anyone left wing on the city council and like we haven’t had a succession of center right Democrats that used to be republicans as mayors.

            The city is the way it is under leadership that aligns with your politics.

            The city we have is the city we get if you get everything you want politically. It’s literally your mess.

      Why?

      He said he wouldn’t even if Trump won…

      He was going to do it regardless.

      Feeding your son to a felon president is a bad idea.

      What about everyone gun owner who uses cannabis in a state that legalized cannabis?

      Unfortunately crack and weed use would be treated the same under federal law.

      Biden can fix that be de-classifying marijuana and help millions of Americans.

      But he’s only saving one crackhead.

      Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 for his conviction on federal gun charges. He also was set to be sentenced on Dec. 16 in a separate criminal case in which he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges in September.

      Trump’s absolutely screwed up Justice department would have had nothing to do with the sentencing.

        Did you know, unlike a Jury’s “non-guilty” verdict, court sentencing can be appealed?

        If the prosecution believes the sentence to be too light, they can appeal and request a heavier sentence.

        Also, there are many more ways a weaponized DoJ can mess with its prisoners. if epstein got killed under trump admin, who’s to say it can’t happen to others, regardless of if they are as terrible as epstein or not.

          Oh for fucks sake, you think that Epstein was killed by the Trump admin? Get out of here with that conspiracy theory BS.

          And no a prosecutor can’t just say “oh it’s to light” and a judge just grants it. There had to be legal basis behind it like sentencing below the minimum mandated sentence and even the most shitty judges aren’t looking to undermine the other judges and the system unlike what is happening here.

          But whatever, you can all be go sports team with this and downvote away but you’re just proving what regular Americans think, even if it’s not, that both sides are the same with this.

        This wasn’t because of the merits of the case or the interests of justice. This was a national security move. A Russian agent is taking over the DOJ. We’re not going to give him the former president’s son.

        Lol.
