    So your version is like this?

    Biden:

    I’m tired of rich privileged people never being held accountable, I’ll show them by not allowing my rich privileged son to be held accountable! Now the wealthy from either party isn’t being held accountable, which is obviously going to be celebrated by the poor’s because both groups of rich and powerful people are unaccountable!

    Because that just sounds unbelievable , so I don’t think that’s what you meant

    But man, I can’t think of a single other option.

    Like, if it’s to just rub in republicans faces…

    They’d hate it more if we dont give them the 42 open federal judicial seats than Bidens son

    Or…

    Crazy thought, Biden could do both?

    Instead of only saving his son who is clearly and literally self admittedly guilty?

    The Biden are never going to love you man. They’ll never know you’re name, they’ll never lose a second of sleep over your troubles.

    Trump won’t either to be fair, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend your time defending. A different group of wealthy oligarchs who aren’t subject to the same rules as you and me.

        Biden doesnt exactly have a reputation of being keen on actual justice. Just demagogery, racism, and bribe taking disguised as justice. Are there worse crimes than genocide? – all for some campaign contributions.

        Did he not spend his entire senate career beating a drum about being touch on crime, ito the right of republicans, imprisoning two generations of minority americans on flimsy no-victim crimes? Did he not call all the worst racists on the republican side his close friends? Didnt he campaign for them against democrats?

        Seems more likely that it’s a preemptive guard against the retribution Trump has been loudly promising. When the next president vows to enact revenge on his political enemies, and your son has been branded a political enemy, you do what you can to try to prevent relatively minor offenses from becoming something more theatrical.

        This is the obvious answer. Biden treated the situation as if his son would be treated the same as any other citizen. Instead they threw the book at him because he was the presidents son.

        Why trust the system that lets Trump off the hook.
