I knew in the back of my mind this would happen, regardless of what Joe Biden promised. I’m not angry at him for doing what he did, pardon his son of gun and tax evasion charges that he pled guilty to and was scheduled for sentencing later this month. I’m angry that we in this country have caste justice system where those with the money and power can seemingly get away with murder, while those with little or no means, have to pay for our crimes.
Rather than relishing his election victory and naming loyalist cronies to his new cabinet, Trump should already be in prison for the slap on the wrist hush money case against Stormy Daniels. He is getting off Scott free because as he admitted in a speech in 2016 that he could get away with killing someone on Broadway in the middle of the day because he’s Donald Trump.
The standard goes here too with Joe Biden, fearing the consequences of retribution from Trump, made his decision to pardon Hunter. To me, it’s asinine. It reminds me again of Chappaquiddick and Ted Kennedy when he drove his car into a canal and Mary Jo Kopechne drowned. He later admitted to drinking heavily that night and regretted what happened, yet because of his name and fame, nothing happened.
How many people do you know who have been wrongly arrested, found guilty and went to jail just for being a nobody caught in the wrong lace at the wrong time? It’s an ongoing issue that the political system isn’t the only thing broken in this country, the justice system is also broken and needs fixing.
