I literally just explained what “the question” is and yet you respond with a straw man. I am telling you right now I do not care if his actions are reasonable. I care if he only takes them to protect himself.

The media is making this about respectability politics, and if it’s “reasonable”. No one I know in real life or that I follow/speak with online cares that it was done. Only that he did it and stopped there. Kinda feels like you didn’t read my comment?

Also, I would suggest that considering he said he wouldn’t do it, it’s relatively reasonable to hold him to his word. If he thought it was unjust prosecution he should have said as much before the pardon, instead of insisting he believes in our judicial system up until the last second. If you want to bring up that there was a plea deal that was changed, I will gladly remind you that unjust prosecution and unjust sentencing are different things.

I don’t know what you mean by magically changing on this topic? He did change on this topic by going against his stated intention?

Regardless, this whole thing stinks of “the only moral abortion is my abortion”. Plenty of people are unjustly prosecuted and sentenced and I would love to have seen him take this opportunity to at least remind people of judicial capture and that we have to stay vigilant to protect people from the harms that may come from that. But no he just said my son only. As though just that one person is suffering due to political stunts.

I know he doesn’t actually care about Gaza or kids in cages, or people going hungry, but it would have been nice to get something from the guy while he’s a lame duck making decisions that are politically unpopular, but since we’re not related I guess not.

I’ve said this before, but this article is a complete straw man. I’m not saying he’s ceding the moral high ground or whatever. I’m saying that if he’s willing to do this, he should be going many steps further. The issue is that he’s now shown that he’s willing to go back on promises/use his office for personal gain (I don’t care if you think it’s justified, this is personal gain regardless). If he’s willing to do that I’d love to see him try and make my life better before he lets his and his party’s decisions ruin it. This is realistically the only way he or his family would suffer under Trump and he waves it away with a pen. I don’t want him to suffer under Trump, but I also don’t want ANYONE to suffer under Trump. He could be doing much more to make that the case. If he’s garnering hate/no longer has the moral high ground, he could at least use it to fight dirty for OUR rights, since Trump will be so willing to fight dirty against our rights. People are making this seem like it’s about something it’s not so they can whitewash this act and treat anyone holding Biden accountable like a child. I don’t want him to be a bad father. I’d just like him to be a better president.

The picture is a screenshot of a recent viral video where a woman was being street interviewed and she referred to giving a sloppy bj. She said “hawk tuah” as the onomatopoeia for spitting and it became a a meme. In this picture they replaced the “tuah” with “tui” for text user interface. Hawk is a kind of bird. So the meme reads “hawk tui” is the name of their bird based text interface.

My reading comprehension apparently isn’t what it used to be. Thank you for highlighting that.

Tax credits are nice, but are least likely to help people in poverty. A lot of them can’t wait to claim the credit and if it’s not refundable it may not help them at all.

I have a kobo as well and I I did a lot of research before selecting it. Imho it’s the best on the market for my personal needs and that definitely changed how often I use it vs an alternative. Some of the things I like about it are direct integration with the library and the ability to do audiobooks. I also like that it is only an ereader and I can’t play games or surf the web on it. I think knowing what’s gonna help you as an individual is the most important thing. If you’re more likely to take a fully fledged tablet with you somewhere because of the versatility, and would otherwise leave a plain ereader at home, then a tablet is better because if you decide to read at least you have it with you. Like a lot of tech, I think it really depends on the user.
