Yes, Hunter being Joe's son is pretty funny. Also:

Trump pardoned a load of his mates and cronies...

Call them "cronies," if you like, but the "press visible," ones all related to the RUSSIA, RUSsia, Russia, bullshit news cycle. None of those people deserved any sort of conviction to begin with (it was all made for TV).

Setting aside our opinions on that political news cycle, this simply isn't true. Trump pardoned his cronies Steve Bannon, Rod Blagojevich, Elliott Broidy, Dinesh D'Souza, Joe Arpaio, and Charles Kushner... for white-collar crimes that had nothing to do with Russia and they deserved to be punished for. And that last one, Kushner, Trump is now trying to make the Ambassador to France.

Holy fuckarooski Saddam...

Kushner did his fucking time, amirite?

Bannon wasn't even fucking tried, so you don't even fucking know whether he deserves to be punished.

Blago received a commutation of sentence, not a pardon. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Broidy plead guilty to taking money in exchange for talking to people. Crackhead STD -ridden bastard decided to stand trial, wasting fucking money, knowing he was fucking guilty all along.

Arpaio - I am not even going to address this fucking one, because even bringing it up as "white collar crime deserving to be punished," is over-the-top asshattedness. You shoulda stuck with the regular level.

Di'Souza - Again, you are just fucking with everyone!

Sheer fucking troll...

it's his son and not a crony

Now this is funny.

Let's not forget in this case he pardoned Hunter to protect the "big guy."

How does that work?

Define "big guy," then an explanation would probably be easier, perhaps not even necessary.

That's as may be, but I still believe that a president should not have the power to unilaterally pardon - what Biden has done demonstrates why, it's a flagrant abuse of power. Pardoning is the sort of thing kings used to do, haven't we moved on from that sort of thing?

I am unsure what you mean by "unilateral" power, except to be championing some sort of Executive Pardon Board somehow supervising the entire DOJ, which is absolutely asinine.

The POTUS can only act on Federal Crimes, not state or civil wrongs.

Like I wrote, there is no reason for anyone to get all worked up NOW over Superfreak Pedo pardoning his crackhead, STD ridden-offspring, especially when you've been begging for this very thing the entire fucking time.

I just had a thought.

Really?

What if he did it to stop Trump from making an example of him?

Nah, you didn't.

I have fond memories of Chi-Town during the Daley years. Richard J., when being hounded by the press over exercising influence in getting his son, Richard M., out of some legal difficulties, simply stated, "Hey, if you can't help family, who can you help?"

Could you at least post the "empirical evidence"?

sure thing.

No, silly! He means evidence that confirms what he wants to believe.

I mean empirical evidence,

Not "warnings," and economists championing further a oligarchal approach.

Your problem is misidentifying the horizon and (to quote your own OP), you are an, "apologist who makes it their life's mission to defend their beliefs and conclusions at all costs."

There surely is some Round Earth forum you can go to post your nonsense, correct?

Fact of the matter is, you cannot determine whether the earth is a sphere by observations at the height you claim. Furthermore, the lens distorts the image.

I am not going to entertain dishonest discussions.

If you do not want to entertain dishonest discussions, then do not start them by posting nonsense.

Most of the sources are filled with "warnings."

Not as empirical as you want to project.

America does have the infrastructure in place to handle more production here within the country.

It can be done.

Naysayers be damned.

How's this?
https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/section-232-tariffs-steel-aluminum-2024/

Key Findings

    The Section 232 tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum raised the cost of production for manufacturers, reducing employment in those industries, raising prices for consumers, and hurting exports.

    The jobs “saved” in the steel-producing industries from the tariffs came at a high cost to consumers, at roughly $650,000 per job saved according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

    A recent report from the U.S. International Trade Commission found that the tariffs increased the average prices of steel and aluminum by 2.4 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, disproportionately hurting “downstream” industries that use steel and aluminum in their production processes.

"suggest", "estimate," and most importantly, "supply and demand."

Most of what this bullshit artist writes is simply crapola.

Supply and demand is more aptly described as localized criminal enterprise to prop up prices and has nothing to do with tariffs.

The crime was committed when the payment to Daniels was made without being declared, which was before Trump was elected. When Trump reimbursed Cohen is of limited relevance.

Wait...Cohen makes a payment...

How is Trump guilty because Cohen made a payment?

Falsifying business records.

If I write "$50,000 for legal fees" but my lawyer never did lawyering during that time, that's illegal.

Again, had Trump written Stormy a check directly, he'd have been 100% legal and no issues.  It's when he tried to hide it that it became an issue.

Oh, so the crime is not what Saddam wrote it was...

Who the fuck is apologizing here!?!?

Do either of you know what the fuck it is you are writing about, or are you both so ignorant you got no fucking clue?
