Both can be safely discarded from one another's consideration. ...That is, unless you're willing to admit neither of your concerns is "merely dismissable as whataboutism" in which case both warrant due attention! Isn't logic fun?
- Gud 2y agoNo, they are not equal, because the actual topic at hand is how a sitting president is using his powers to give favors to his family. There is no “what about”, it’s literally the topic!
- salawat 2y agoMore legitimate than the last Trump presidency that saw Trump granting pardons to convicted fraudsters like Michael Liberty; and while this escalation by Biden isn't right, given the circumstances and rhetoric of the President elect, I can't say I can't why Biden made the decision he did. Tit-for-tat. Exactly as predicted by game theory. Enjoy the consequences. I can only hope this serves as a generational lesson as to the danger and power of the highest Office of the Executive Branch, and maybe knocks some sense into people that no, it ain't just a popularity contest. Just because a President doesn't have the power of the purse, doesn't mean a man can't do massive damage in 4 years. Not anymore.
