Here's a tightly edited 9-minute montage of lavishing praise on Joe Biden for not pardoning his son.

All of it done, I presume, with an intent to influence the 2024 election. All of it bullshit. By the midpoint you'll have lost the capacity to take the phrase "rule of law" seriously:

My favorite nugget: "There's a kind of old-school, sort of flinty core to his conception of how you are to be in the system — how you are to be as a person, a moral person...."

Flinty core!

(I googled the phrase "flinty core" and setting aside a couple descriptions of a singer's voice everything was about wine, where I hear it as a fancy/bullshit way to this tastes like a rock.)

People who watch MSNBC - and buy it - are total morons.

You can be sure the tv talking heads will forget they said those things and the idiots who regularly turn to them for "news" will forget they heard them.

Yancey Ward said...

Clowns, all of them. And liars- they all knew Biden was lying and they repeated the lie for him anyway.

Peachy said...

D-MSNBC = lying party hack frauds from top to bottom.

The Drill SGT said...

The only reason the pardon was done now, was because of the sentencing. Now the talk will be of having Hunter, under his new immunity test about the rest of the Biden Crime Family. Hence more pardons, certainly at least Jim, by Christmas...

planetgeo said...

Awesome virtue-signaling. Confirms that Democrats are the party of "the rule of lie".

These are merely low-grade actors selling a product. They don't believe any of what they say. They just read from the script.

Reddington said...

They lied about this. They lie about everything. It's time to MoveOn from the Democratic party.

Disinformation? Oh, please. It's disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, and handmade tales.

Enigma said...

Correct answer. Establishment media staff are ambitious wage slaves who would read from a MAGA script or an alien cookbook if they got paid to do it. Look up WW2 German prison camp kapos. Look up the meaning of prostitute.

Has Biden’s pardon of his son sealed the deal for Kash Patel?

they all knew the Hilary!'s russia dossier was false, and they repeated the lie
they all knew the laptop from hell was real, and they repeated the lie

Big Mike said...

All of it bullshit.

It never crossed my mind that Hunter would not be pardoned by his crooked Daddy.

Gusty Winds said...

There is not rule of law for Democrats when it comes to voter fraud, crime, and illegal immigration.

Even the Liberal WI Supreme court makes up it's own laws (gerrymandered maps) which is outside its constitutional jurisdiction.

The Biden Crime Family: the grift that keeps on grifting.

I'm with you Big Mike. I fully expected this. Can't figure out why everyone is surprised. I think everyone is ACTING surprised.

Everyone will ACT surprised when the truth about voter fraud, Epstein etc. comes out as well.

William said...

Did anyone in his or her right mind really think that Biden was not going to pardon Hunter. This is Biden, a man who has the scruples of an alley cat (and that's being mean to alley cats).

Biden has been a dishonest opportunist is entire life in everything he has touched. Dishonesty, thy name is Biden.

C'mon man

These "journalists" are political Progressive propaganda activists. They deserve the scorn they are getting, and I hope none of them ever find work again. Let THEM pick the vegetables and clean the toilets. It's all they are good for after what they did to our country.

rhhardin said...

There was no point to it after lawfare against Trump failed to take him out of the race.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Those two need to look into the camera and have a coming to Jesus moment a la Jimmy Swaggart.

I doubt a single leftist commenter will show up to agree - MSNBC are frauds.
Not one.

Wince said...

MSNBC hardest hit?

Say it ain't so, Joe

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I wanna hear, Joe
And I got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure they telling us lies, Joe
Please tell us it ain't so

They told us our hero had played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good old days have gone

The image and the empire may be failing apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you, Joe
And they're ruining our show

Ooh baby
Don't you think
We're gonna get burned?
Ooh baby
Don't you think
We're gonna get burned?

Quayle said...

Oh, but the earnestness with which they speak! The sanctimony. The smug self-righteous tenor. "A moment of moral clarity!", do you believe.

If they had a shred of humility they'd stand up and admit that they were wrong and wrongheaded, and give back their fees. Will we see THAT kind of moral clarity? I doubt it.

Nemesis has arrived and the retribution has commenced in full, and it will likely continue. Won't be pretty. Never is.

n.n said...

Conceptual irony. Karma-lic.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

They talked NFL for an hour.

Jupiter said...

I was gonna say. The Big Guy pardoned Hunter cuz Hunter was gonna turn rat if he didn't. But Brother Jim is just as dirty as Hunter, maybe dirtier.

Say what you want about this woman, but when she is right, she is RIGHT.....


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸
@RepMTG
The FBI didn’t raid Hunter Biden’s bedroom, they raided Barron’s bedroom.

Just think about that.

That’s how morally corrupt all of these people are.

Joe did not pardon Hunter because he is a father who loved his son like the mockingbird media and Democrat liars are saying.

Joe pardoned Hunter all the way back to 2014 when Hunter started bio labs in Ukraine, started with Burisma, and began money laundering through dozens of LLC shell companies through business deals in many foreign countries including China.

Hunter is not just Joe’s son, he is his business partner, and Hunter sold his Dad’s power and influence for millions while Joe was VP and beyond.

That’s why the wide sweeping pardon from 2014 to now.

It covers VP to 4 yrs running for president to 4 yrs being president - 11 years of all kinds of crimes.

But the bigger crimes are all the people in the FBI, DOJ, State Department, CIA, and other agencies that all knew about the Biden family corrupt business and crimes yet stayed quiet, provided cover, lied about it all, but instead went after their political enemies.

The 51 intel officials who signed their name to a lie that Hunter’s laptop, with all the evidence, wasn’t real.

They all abused their power in order to create the illusion that Trump, not Biden, was the criminal.

All of these people lying today saying “Joe is a father who loves his son” are clinging to the lies and will gladly abuse power and weaponize the government against all of us if they are ever in charge again.

How many more pardons are coming for Biden family members and others?

It’s a long time to Jan 20th.

TreeJoe said...

He could've narrowly pardoned Hunter for specific crimes.

Instead he pardoned him for all known and unknown crimes over an extensive period of time.

Remember, that's what the DoJ explicitly negotiated with Hunter Biden's lawyers until a judge questioned the DoJ on that arrangement and signaled was not going to fly.

In other words....for whatever reason, immunity from known AND unidentified crimes during this time period was always what Joe Biden's DoJ and now Joe Biden himself always sought.

...

Many intellectually honest people can get past Biden pardoning Hunter for the gun crime and even the tax evasion. Hunter being scummy is well known.

I don't think intellectually honest people can understand a blanket pardon in this way, even for a child, over a very specific time period. There's something there.

This why Comcast put the whole channel up for sale.

Peachy said...

No one is above the law!

Except the Bidens and the Clinton. (and the open border mobsters)

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Okay we got Jim by Christmas. Any earlier bets? Valery by next weekend? Jim's wife? Place your bets now.

Jupiter said...

So, what about the substance? I do think Joe is right about the gun-purchase form. Millions of those things get signed every year, and I'm sure plenty of the people signing them are taking drugs. The tax thing, nuh-uh. He didn't forget to include his bottle returns, he had massive amounts of unreported income. Of course, he had to pass most of it on to the Big Guy and Jim, so he probably felt like it wasn't really income.

Dixcus said...

Almost nobody does. They measure these things. MSNBC in prime time, gets only about 50,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54 (people ... nobody else counts.)

Dixcus said...

Mika, this morning: "Oh thank God, Joe, there's no dead female interns under your desk this morning."

RCOCEAN II said...

When the MSM and D's start their phony outrage over the Trump pardons in;jan 2025, you'll get two approaches. The 1st, "Why this is different and worse than Biden's pardons because...blah blah... [insert legalistic Talmudic bullshit]". The 2nd will be brazen stepping over their previous support of Hunter Bidens' pardon as if it never happened.

I think the 2nd approach will be more popular. The MSM and D's know the american public has the attention span of a flea. Probably most of their viewers will be like "Who is hunter biden?" 7 weeks from now.

Dixcus said...

Nobody has taken any shots at them. Why should they ever change?

RCOCEAN II said...

BTW, this is a great video showing the hypocrisy of the MSM. thanks to althouse for posting it.

Democratic Equivocation Improvisation (DEI) was their undoing.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I’m getting a vibe: Trump Breaks Hindsight from 2020 to 2024.

I never knew a victory handed to you by an opponent could be just as gratifying as the winning, you know, the old boring way at the ballot box. I mean, every day there is a feature blaming Kamala losing on something other than themselves. Here, however, there’s no wiggle room. That video is a monument to what we have been saying over and over. These people cannot be trusted to call things as they truly are.

Earnest Prole said...

This clip deserves the grudging admiration of all Trump’s Baghdad Bobs.

Yancey Ward said...

If I were the GOP, I would immediately subpoena Hunter Biden and question him on every detail of his business dealings from January 1st 2014 until yesterday. I am sure he will suddenly develop amnesia and forget everything but that will also be illuminating.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

I'm holding on January 19. Blanket pardon all Bidens.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Yes! 👏🏼

J Severs said...

Nice reference and relevant!

Quayle said...

When Biden said he wouldn't pardon his son, we had a moment of moral clarity.

When Biden actually did pardon his son, we had another moment of moral clarity.

What a year 2024 has been: all these moments of morality clarity.

(Clarity. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.)

MacMacConnell said...

Does Hunter have a law degree? If not all Hunter had to do is ask his father about the gun law. Joe wrote the fucking law.

Perhaps even better would be an utter humiliation and debasement moment on a national scale, a la Jimmy Swaggart.

I mentioned in the previous post volumes of blanket pardons. I say they go late, either in a Friday news dump or 11:59AM on Inauguration Day. Some time when the propaganda news can cloak the corruption...

And not a single care will be given by these dishonest hacks. They've already moved on to their "Republican Pounce™" narrative.

It’s all verbal diarrhea with Democrats . . . (and a lot of Republicans too).

Most of these people are government agency embeds (CIA/FBI/NSA). Remember ... 51 of our intelligence agents signed a letter to rig the 2020 election. Do you think they are not above planting their agents in our news media?

can we call this: negative Bill of Attainder upto 9 generations!

Cacimbo said...

This morning NPR basically blamed Trump. Trump is so awful Biden had to pardon son to save his life because he would have been in danger in jail under Trump.Implying Trump allow him to be killed.

Narayanan said...

@gilabr == link says toll $9 instead of $15 ?
was it toll free before?

BarrySanders20 said...

My favorite nugget is at 5:05-5:17 when the guy says, in reference to Joe saying he won't pardon Hunter, "It's kind of unbelievable when you think of it . .." Exactly! Taken literally, of course. Ignore that he meant it in a reverent way.

Bruce Hayden said...

I said this elsewhere this morning:

We all knew that Dad Biden would pardon his son. What every good father would do, esp when said son was the bagman for the family’s graft operation, that made Dad, his brother, that son and his sister, wealthy. The only question was when. This was the perfect time. The election was over and everyone was engaging in tryptophan induced comas after Thanksgiving

Madison Mike said...

Anyone know if Joe reported his split on his taxes?

narciso said...

yes those recipients served time

rehajm said...

...all those assholes owe us some big mea culpas and a walk out onto the ice come early Spring. I know that they won't...

BarrySanders20 said...

It's hard to be too cynical about media, politics, or "the system," specifically including justice and the courts. My default response to any assertion I don't know to be true already, or is from someone I don't know, is "Bullshit! I don't believe you." If they can convince me otherwise then I'll change my mind.
