Since sitting Presidents are now immune by Supreme Court decree - Dark Brandon could do a little more than hand out Pardons…
Maybe a few shootings on 5th Avenue?

He lied about drug use, on a form to buy a firearm, and the party his father represents, is in favour of tougher gun control.
Hypocrisy?
so delighted I could provide some mirth!
Not really, because Hunter Biden, who committed the offence, hadn’t been advocating tougher gun control.

Who cares, it’s all going to Hell in a handcart anyway. Hypocrisy is the least of Genocide Joe’s sins. Fifteen thousand children slaughtered by Israeli fascists using US weapons, no problem. Pardoning the prodigal son (isn’t that in line with fundamentalist Christian dogma?) is shock horror.
I wasn’t saying Hunter Biden is a hypocrite, but rather his father, who granted the pardon, is.
The reason this became a political football is that normally a first offence such as this would be treated fairly leniently (probably not involving prison time), but because of who Hunter Biden was related to it was pursued with greater vigour than normal by Republican-leaning prosecutors.
The underlying problem as I mentioned in my earlier post is the politicization of justice in America, and the use (or misuse) of the Presidential pardon.
Right-wingers moaning about Joe Biden’s actions in this case should remember that Trump pardoned Ivanka’s father-in-law Charles Kushner in 2020, and Democrats that Bill Clinton pardoned his half-brother Roger for a cocaine offence.
Biden was wrong in principle to issue the pardon, but he was just following a murky precedent.

Fascinating - in the US they issue pardons, in the UK they issue “gongs”. Saya a lot about the political environment in the two countries. 
It was wrong, but I tend to agree with you. The USA is like a 3rd world country sometimes.
Wait until trump builds a golf course where Gaza used to be.

You prolly prefer America’s elected fascist felon?
I think Trump and Kushner might have a private squabble over who gets to build what there.

Give trump a year. His plan is to pillage the US.
I can understand why Trump pathetically feels the need for more adulation as some sort of affirmation, but I fail to comprehend why such people feel the need to have more money.
I’d give him life.
