Oneโ€™s a literal inssurectionist who pardoned all of his criminal cronies, whoโ€™s only defense against his attempts to steal the election was โ€œI need criminal immunityโ€.

Biden pardons his own son who absolutely wouldnโ€™t have been targeted were he not a Biden. Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, Jaredโ€™s father.

They are absolutely unequivocal.

When one side plays by the rules and the other side doesnโ€™t, then the side playing by the rules will always lose. Thatโ€™s a lesson the Democrats are just learning.

Whatโ€™s important to note is who is willing to break the rules first. Thatโ€™s your bad guy.

Thatโ€™s like saying Hitler and Gandhi are the same because they both breath air.

Some people think you are stupid because it seems you canโ€™t grasp that two things arenโ€™t the same just because they share one attribute.

Other people think you are actively lying, using an easy to see trough rhetoric to normalize the gross shit reps do.

Pardoning your son isnโ€™t the same as letting people die because you think their body belongs to you. They are not equally bad. One is clearly worse.

And that is why you get down voted.

You probably get downvoted for saying that because itโ€™s false as fuck. And besides being false, itโ€™s the laziest shit ever.

The dems: get mad at trump for pardoning people they dony like

Biden: pardons his own son.

The dems: when we do it its ok.

Clearly as bad as eachother wake up they want u to get distracted by this while they carefully tie the noise around ur neck.

Just cos its lazy doesnt mean it aint true

Itโ€™s almost like thereโ€™s more to a political party than their pardonsโ€ฆ

Trumpโ€™s pardons wouldnโ€™t make his top 150 crimes. I barely saw any reaction to those. so off the bat you seem entirely full of shit and looking for some lame excuse to pretend the parties are the same. you havenโ€™t paid any attention whatsoever and thatโ€™s why youโ€™ve a shitty lazy false argument. not weighing in is a good option for those like this.

abusing the pardon system is not pardoning people that we donโ€™t like.

Did a former Democratic president say he was going to make life difficult for his enemies? Nope.
