The reactions from Democrats and the press to President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter have been infuriating. Do they not understand how completely reality has changed? Do they not realize how out of control the Department of Justice will be next year? If not, why not? They've had nine years to figure Trump and the MAGA movement out, and they've utterly failed — or they insist on being ostriches.
A few reactions from Democrats have made us grin. Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas's tweet from yesterday is one: "If you are coming here looking for someone to bash Joe Biden, you came to the wrong place. My focus is entirely on Trump and the thugs he is trying to place in his Administration." Outgoing Montana Senator Jon Tester's response is another. Approached by reporters on Capitol Hill, he said, "I'm about to get the fuck out of here. Ask somebody else."
For other Democrats, we have this advice: Just tell the media that you haven't seen the pardon, haven't read the pardon, haven't heard anything about it. So you can't comment. Sound silly? It's worked for Republicans with the press for simply years.
It's so discouraging that Democrats have this circular firing squad going when Washington is about to go straight into the toilet in just 47 days. We need to spend our energies on fighting them, not each other. In a previous political world, there might have been opportunities to indulge in lofty intellectual discussions about Presidential pardons and the rule of law. Not anymore. The rules have changed — or don't exist. Everybody's back has a target. Wake up!
Dark Brandon seems to know, though. Word has it Team Biden is discussing pre-emptive pardons for those in the Trumpsters' cross-hairs: people like Anthony Fauci, Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, others. Our take? As the great Carrie Fisher used to say, "Doooooo eeeeeet." We cats PURR.
