Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

IMHO, the only "hypocrisy" is with the conservative-owned press holding Biden to standards LONG since tossed aside for Trump. The people have made it clear they only respect a government who fights dirty, and WAY effing past time they get what they asked for. In the scheme of things, this is positively mundane - but they'll try to attack anything that Dems do that they'd gleefully make excuses for Trump doing since that pisses off Dems. I congratulate Biden for finally saying "fuck it," and doing the same thing they would do.

More corporate news, bullshit. They stood by and even congratulated Trump when he did far worse with the pardons he issued. Of course their hypocrisy goes without comment.

Yeah, that corporate bastion of pro-Trump sentiment, The Guardian.

There's no such thing anymore in a country without judicial standards, Biden's just playing the game by the rules we voted for

If Republicans have a problem with it, they've got nobody to blame but themselves. Personally I hope he goes a lot farther with this stuff, there's not much left to lose

Wait until he pardons all the undocumented immigrants lol.

I wish Biden was that cool

That wouldn't change their immigration status though. Now maybe an executive order offering immediate citizenship to anyone who can prove they were in the country on, say, 1 dec.

For fucks sake! Hunter Biden would make a better President than that orange, serial rapist, felon that is going to pardon himself.
