SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Lame Duck: You heard I pardoned my son Hunter. Well, I don't care if it's right or if it looks good. It's done! Lame Duck: You're probably wondering where was this "I don't give a fuck about the optics" when we were running our campaign, or when the Senate Parlimentarian shut down our minimum wage increase or immigration amnesty. Or where it was when the Supreme Court said I couldn't forgive everyone's student loans. Or on January 21, 2021 when my predecessor shoulda been put in a cell. Lame Duck: Funny thing: now that I'm a lame duck, I found my spine. Too late for you, though!

NEW COMIC MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

I honestly don't care if it's right or appropriate or following norms or whatever when Joe Biden pardons his son Hunter. Do I think Hunter probably got a raw deal? Yeah. Did he deserve no consequences for breaking the law? Probably not. But whatever. It's clear at this point that we have a two-tiered justice system in this country.

But this "fuck your feelings" attitude -- which is endemic on the GOP side of things -- hell, the assholes put it on flags -- would've been nice if it had come out on behalf of anyone, anyone at all, not named Hunter Fucking Biden.

Mitch McConnell refuses to bring Merrick Garland up for confirmation? Oh well. The Senate Parlimentarian decides immigration amnesty isn't allowed in this bill? Shame, it seemed like a good idea. Keep in mind the Senate Parlimentarian isn't even a legislator. Democrats would rather toe the line laid down by some unelected bureaucrat than deliver for their constituents. Same with student loan forgiveness. How about the Supreme Court? We all know they can't enforce shit, but would Joe Biden stand up to them? Nope.

And finally, the one norm no one could possibly break: Failing to hold elected officials responsible for their actions. If we put Trump in jail, who'd be next? Dubya? Cheney? Obama (remember the drone strikes)? Can't have any of this! Better to flush democracy down the shitter.
