Their obsession with Hunter Biden is so funny to me. Anything he did is very small potatoes compared to their guy, who needs a jumpsuit to match his skin.
It was never about the son. Proof of that is that the "obsession" vaporized as soon as Biden bowed out of the 2024 race and was supplanted by Harris. Now that Biden has pardoned his son, MAGA is using it feebly paint Democrats as hypocrites.

If gaetz committed a crime why is it only addressed after he was nominated, and now that he stepped down not still being prosecuted? Why aren't you calling for him to be charged instead of letting him off because he resigned? Thats because it was never about the crime, it was about his position. stand for women's rights, or do you? If he was a high-school principal, would you be ok with him resigning and facing no charges whatsoever? The government should not behave like the catholic church, but it does, and gaslit you in the process....
Frankly, I think that if Jack Smith wants to gtfo and go back to The Hague, he should do it. Not because I despise him, but because I think about how totally thwarted he was, how hard he worked, and how frustrating this whole thing must've been for him. He knows secrets about Trump and what Teump did that we will never know. They are more heinous than anything we can imagine. This human being, Smith, probably needs some serious down time to psychologically recover from all this. AND he needs to be safe. The Hague, and NL in general, are fantastic-Ive been there multiple times. A great place to live and get over the fuckeduptedness of America. I hope Jack Smith gets to do that.
I used to have hope, but now that the Orange Convict is moving back into the WH after committing treason and selling classified documents (along with hundreds of other crimes he committed right in front of our very own eyes) I have come to the realization that he will NEVER be held accountable. He IS above the law. King Trump will destroy us all and serve us up to Putin on a silver platter.

@@expatannie6958 I'm not fully sure how pardons legally work but I believe they imply an admission of guilt. He has already already admitted guilt and served time. A pardon nor a commutement will erase the record. It doesnt work that way. Only a judge can expunge a record after 5 years I believe. In Cohens case its pointless and Biden wouldnt do it anyway. Why would he? To spite Trump? Everyone already knows Cohen and his story...he testified in congress....went to jail...wrote a book.... and he has lost his law license already. Im not sure the bar would give it back. That horse has already fled the barn.
My heart goes out to President Biden and his family. He had to protect his only living son, Hunter. He has shown that he loves Hunter unconditionally with all his heart. I am so elated and heartened by his decision. 💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙🌹💙
@@CREATIVEJasmine6881 I think there's more to it than that, in this case. I think if Biden knew that either he or Harris would be President next term, he wouldn't have bothered with a pardon for Hunter because his son would just be facing up to the consequences of his actions like a man. I think that's why Joe Biden waited until after the election to do this and only did it when he knew Trump would be taking office. With Trump swearing that he's going after everyone he regards as an enemy and his relentless attempts to big up more dirt on Hunter just to spite his dad, I could see why Joe Biden wouldn't want to see his son simply thrown to the wolves. It's one thing to see someone face the natural consequences of their actions, but it's another if there are going to be (literally) Trumped-up charges against him, it's kinder to shield him from the crucifixion. What Trump has planned wouldn't be justice to anyone, just pure, vindictive spite from a power-hungry bully trying to build up his own self image by tearing down what he sees as the opposition.
I'm still ridin' with Biden. So much of the legacy press is focused on this and once again TOTALLY ignoring the s☆○t show of Trump & MAGA World. Geeeeez😵💫 Thank you, Stephen Colbert for your insight, humor & courage!!!
Except millions of people who are not rich white guys with political connections are rotting away in prison, and will continue to do so. We don't care about that, though. Right? I'm not Trump supporter, .. I hate the guy. But this is just wrong, and it surrenders the high ground. It's disgusting.
@@dashx1103 Millions of people are NOT in jail for the charges Hunter was convicted of. And when your country elects a convicted felon like Traitor Trump as president, I would say there is no such thing as high ground any more. Time to break out the shovels and start digging.
Considering how Hunter was publicly run through the wringer, a pardon seems reasonable. Hunters former attorney said no one in New Jersey has been prosecuted for having a gun, especially for only 24 hours, so why was he prosecuted? The pardon just balanced the scales of justice. Besides, Trump is definitely going after everyone possible (retribution) and would go out of his way to file more charges against Hunter.
this is about a laptop and money laundering over arms sales.....children on islands for sex slaves. you guys need to stop watching colbert, he was great but hes imploded on tds over the last few years and will tell you anything they pay him to

Absolutely. These people are definitely out of their minds complaining about Biden pardoning his his son, look at all the felons trump pardoned when he lost the election in 2020, and now trying to fill his cabinets with felons and loyalist.

He promised multiple times that he wouldn't do this. His supporters were bragging about his integrity. Not only did he pardon his son for the gun charges in 2018, he pardoned him for any crimes commited since 2014. Back when he got that job at Burisma.
@@grammarofficerkrupke4398 Not because he was guilty, but because MAGA would look for _any_ opportunity to continue to persecute Hunter, so he's just saying a big FU to them. And good on him. In all honesty, if Harris had won, I don't think he would have done it, because he could have trusted the legal system.
Felon Trump proved he personally doesn't know right from wrong and his supporters have pushed his former crimes and his many crimes to come down our throats -- dictatorship is now. Biden's pardon of his son is totally justified in a climate like this.
Why is pardoning people a thing anyways? I live in Canada and the Prime Minister never pardons any criminal😂, but in the US it’s like a presidential ritual or something🤣 you guys are weird
Biden needs to eliminate the ability for any president to pardon the J6 criminals. Plus, he should imprison all of trump’s children just for the hell of it. Of course trump will let them out, but they could spend their holidays in jail just for fun. Go get them Joe!!!
“Trump is purposely appointing people who have promised to destroy the thing they’ve been appointed to run.” Stephen mostly said this for a laugh, but this should scare the hell out of all of us, because it’s true.

@nicolaasstempels8207 fully rehabilitated?what does that have to do with anything? So if he was only halfway rehabilitated, it would make sense to let him serve 15 years in jail?
I agree. Normally I wouldn't...but the point of these planned persecutions (most, if not all, of which won't result in any prosecutions) of people on Trump's list (which includes the FBI agents who raided Mar-a-Lago) is to drain the targeted people of time and money and ruin their lives. And, if they find something, to throw the book at them. E.g. Jaywalking...serve 5 years in prison (or whatever the maximum sentence) is. Republicans didn't find what they wanted to find with Hunter Biden...what they did find was 2 instances of not paying tax and lying on on a form to purchase a gun. Which could result in up to 25 years in jail. Do you think he will get a fair sentence by Donald Trump's DOJ...no. If Harris, or almost any other Republican had won, I don't think Joe Biden would have granted his son a pardon.
I was so glad that he pardoned Hunter. Hunter took so much BS from the magats. He faced them with courage and dignity. I was so impressed and proud of Joe that I sent a "well done" and a "Thank you for your service." Peace.

Trump pardoned 143 people at the end of his term. Some of these people may have deserved pardons as they seemed to have truly turned their lives around. However, many were highly questionable. These included individuals whose Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and Mike Flynn. Also included people who were convicted of bribery, racketeering, drug crimes and smuggling, theft of government property and healthy care fraud. One Jonathan Braun smuggled $1.76 billion in marijuana into the United States. Hunter Biden paid back the taxes he owed the government that included penalties, he has been “clean” for 4 or 5 years, and the gun charge would have been something not usually prosecuted against for a normal citizen. He was zeroed in on and put through the meat grinder because he was the son of the President - I think too it is enough and pardoning him is the right thing to do. You can go online and find the full list of Trump’s last minute pardons along with the infractions of these people and how some may have atoned for their crimes.
I'm proud of Joe's pardon of Hunter, it makes me respect & love him more ❤️❤️ i think everyone who has been threatened by patel or other orange lunatic cult members should get as sweeping a pardon 👍👍
Yea it had to be sweeping as for some reason they'd made him their target and would never leave him alone either to try and discredit joe or just to get som tag of criminal or whatever attached to the biden name.

Thank you for covering the pardon well. I'm really miffed at Jon Stewart over his reaction. Patel has stated an intention of going after Hunter. And the whole prosecution has simply been an attack on Biden.
@erlindafields8897 How do you know they aren’t holding pardons in their pockets? They were never charged to make them have to show pardons. There were a lot of people reaching out and paying for pardons at the end of trumps term in 2021. Why? What were they guilty of?

What did Biden have to lose at this point?

Don't be a sucker Joe is just covering his own wrinkled ass.
@@CREATIVEJasmine6881 I think there's more to it than that, in this case. I think if Biden knew that either he or Harris would be President next term, he wouldn't have bothered with a pardon for Hunter because his son would just be facing up to the consequences of his actions like a man. I think that's why Joe Biden waited until after the election to do this and only did it when he knew Trump would be taking office. With Trump swearing that he's going after everyone he regards as an enemy and his relentless attempts to big up more dirt on Hunter just to spite his dad, I could see why Joe Biden wouldn't want to see his son simply thrown to the wolves. It's one thing to see someone face the natural consequences of their actions, but it's another if there are going to be (literally) Trumped-up charges against him, it's kinder to shield him from the crucifixion. What Trump has planned wouldn't be justice to anyone, just pure, vindictive spite from a power-hungry bully trying to build up his own self image by tearing down what he sees as the opposition.

Way to go, Stephen! You're hittin on all cylinders!
Considering how Hunter was publicly run through the wringer, a pardon seems reasonable. Hunters former attorney said no one in New Jersey has been prosecuted for having a gun, especially for only 24 hours, so why was he prosecuted? The pardon just balanced the scales of justice. Besides, Trump is definitely going after everyone possible (retribution) and would go out of his way to file more charges against Hunter.

I agree. Normally I wouldn't...but the point of these planned persecutions (most, if not all, of which won't result in any prosecutions) of people on Trump's list (which includes the FBI agents who raided Mar-a-Lago) is to drain the targeted people of time and money and ruin their lives. And, if they find something, to throw the book at them. E.g. Jaywalking...serve 5 years in prison (or whatever the maximum sentence) is. Republicans didn't find what they wanted to find with Hunter Biden...what they did find was 2 instances of not paying tax and lying on on a form to purchase a gun. Which could result in up to 25 years in jail. Do you think he will get a fair sentence by Donald Trump's DOJ...no. If Harris, or almost any other Republican had won, I don't think Joe Biden would have granted his son a pardon.

Trump pardoned 143 people at the end of his term. Some of these people may have deserved pardons as they seemed to have truly turned their lives around. However, many were highly questionable. These included individuals whose Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and Mike Flynn. Also included people who were convicted of bribery, racketeering, drug crimes and smuggling, theft of government property and healthy care fraud. One Jonathan Braun smuggled $1.76 billion in marijuana into the United States. Hunter Biden paid back the taxes he owed the government that included penalties, he has been “clean” for 4 or 5 years, and the gun charge would have been something not usually prosecuted against for a normal citizen. He was zeroed in on and put through the meat grinder because he was the son of the President - I think too it is enough and pardoning him is the right thing to do. You can go online and find the full list of Trump’s last minute pardons along with the infractions of these people and how some may have atoned for their crimes.

So, Trump pardons murderers as a favor to a campaign donor, biden pardons his son for lying on a federal form... and that makes them the same??? Can you please explain how that makes sense to you?
Is sexual assault a requirement to be a member of Trump's cabinet???
Seems to be. Looks like racist, bigot, fascist, Nationalist "Christian" (Nat. C), are also big selling points.
Maybe not for everyone; Noem just shot her own pets.
Birds of a feather...
😢
Definitely being a pedophile is.
Hearings on Trump cabinet picks:
"Are you really unqualified for this position?"
"Yes, and I am proud of it!"
Republican Senators chorus:
"Great! We'll confirm you."
that brings flashbacks of the Kavanope hearings. the republicans weren't throwing softball questions. they were throwing T-ball questions. "are you really the best judge ever?"
@@kenbrown2808 Boof
"Who's a good candidate? Yes you are! You are!"
Trump can pardon family members - but Biden can't?
- talk about double standards
Like Democrats not calling this systemic racism? 😂
Everyone who is hurt about the pardon...
"Hey, guys f..off..!"
Pardoning literal war criminals is more problematic than pardoning someone who took meth.
you totally missed the point kid
@@yeezylegit4883the point is no one cares
Well, Trump is the leader of the CONFEDERATE Traitors and they will do anything to violate UNION LAW.
@@yeezylegit4883You totally missed reality, boomer.
What?
Happy and relieved Joe pardoned his son!!! 💙💙💙🇦🇺
The "my gun protects me from tyrannical government" tribe has voted us into a tyrannical government.
And now Trump wants a red law to take their guns.
Can you not use the same rule to fight them back?
They are the same people who would have been on the Cornfederate side during the Civil War.
@@onecalledchuck1664 Revolution is a messy bloody thing, if you have not figured it out. For all sides... Cut diamonds with diamonds, they say. Please do not tell me the Dems are not as bad as the Repubs. We are as dirty as they are, but we pretend to be oh so noble. I ma so tired of, "we are the party of the law and the trust in our judicial system" and then we renege on our word...
Ironic
About time the USA abandoned every pretense at being a civilized country
It's about damn time. And Biden didn't even sell the pardon to his son. I'm so proud of Joe!
If trump can be pardoned at a sentencing stage why not
He never pardoned himself, cases drop by themself when he becomes president stupid.
apparently pardons can happen at any stage
We arnt mad that he pardoned him, mad that he lied to our faces and mad that the democratic media has been saying things like trump is bad for doing similar things but then they celebrate this. It’s a double standard and it’s part of the reason there is so much division
Did hunter biden win a presidential election?
Exactly! He got off Scott free so nobody better say anything that Biden did that for his son. Trump involved his own children in politics during his first presidency and a lot of that could have been viewed borderline illegal
I would Pardon my Son to knowing the Morons that are about to be put in Power.
Do those "Morons" know the difference between to, two, and too?
What kind of idiotic remark is that. Biden’s Cases are concluded. He Plead GUILTY. He was facing a 17-year prison sentence in a few days.
Like the morons that have the NYC subways looking like LIMA Peru
Vengeful morons.
Vengeful morons
Defunding the police is out and replaced by shutting down the FBI
Oooh. This is a good point. What hypocrisy.
The party of law and order, eh?
Law and order for you not them, that applies applies to the trumpanzeess also but they are too dumb to realise it 🙈🙊🙉
More likely build up GOP Gestapo to please Agolf Twitler
Nuts
Jimmy, Stephen, and Michael Cohen, should at least start packing. No joke, Donnie coming for you.
President Biden will be so missed!
But seriously -We have the RIGHT TO DEMAND RECOUNT. RIGHT (sp) to WHITEHOUSE,!🇺🇸
More Likes For Stephen Colbert 👍
It only allows me one.
47 Fitna pardon everyone who did J6 including himself, and we're worried about Biden pardoning someone who probably would never have been prosecuted had he not been born with the same last name?
You’re right. ☹️
No doubt about it.
Persecuted, not prosecuted
he literally broke the law
@@yeezylegit4883 Yet, Trump broke 34 felony laws and was convicted of all of them but do you NOT think for a second that he will pardon himself once he takes office?
We love Kash! He speaks the truth.
Funny how Stephen is mild about Biden's son't pardon but bashed Trump!!!!!!
Patel does realize that the director of the FBI is not in total control of the FBI right? He’s basically its manager, congress and the senate are the owners.
Figure head... Turning into custodian of a museum
@ sure thing dude
