In Summary:
In this article, Alex goes on a deranged rampage against Elon Musk for pointing out democrat hypocrisy, and desperately attempts to minimize the scale of the enormous pardon of Hunter Biden for any and all crimes (including all potential crimes of treason committed with Burisma and Ukraine, Russia, and China) over the past 11 years.
He somehow managed to insert erroneous words into the middle of a quote while copy/pasting in an attempt to demonize Elon Musk. I’m sure that was just an accident… He then goes on to attack President Trump for being persecuted in the New York cases that were meant to interfere in the 2024 election.
This article reads like desperate fan-fiction that could’ve only been written by someone who hates the truth almost as much as they hate America and its founding principals.
The Article:
Donald Trump megadonor and incoming administration official Elon Musk has used his social media platform to chastise point out the blatant hypocrisy of Joe Biden for a six-month-old X post after the president issued a pardon for his son adult family member Hunter. The unprecedented pardon is extremely broad and covers any federal crime that Hunter committed over the past 11 years. Usually, pardons target extremely specific instances.
X users deployed the “community notes” function to correct the president’s May 31 post reading “no one is above the law.”
The post was revived with a note added for “additional context” that read: “Joe Biden granted a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter, on December 1, 2024. Hunter was convicted of multiple felonies but will now go unpunished.”
Musk shared the post with a screenshot of a note that said Biden “By pardoning his son Hunter, not merely for a single crime, but for all actual or potential crimes he may or may not have created over an eleven years period, Joe Biden has made clear that some people are, in fact, not above the law.” The Independent got this quote incorrect, and intentionally omitted the first half of the post. Also Elon Musk did not write this quote, as this is from the Community Note feature on X.
“Community Notes slays,” is all that Musk wrote.
Biden wrote the initial post one day after a New York jury attempted to convict President Trump on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records as part of a so-called hush money scheme to silence an adult film star for the crime of paying legal fees to his lawyer ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The real crime here is, of course, being unbeatable by the democrats in the 2024 election.
Though not the first time that a president pardoned a family member, Biden’s pardon reversed his previous pledge that he would not pardon Hunter for any of the irrefutable crimes proven in the ‘Hunter Biden Laptop’ do so within his final months in office. The very same ‘Hunter Biden Laptop’ that 51 intelligence officials (federal employees) knowingly falsely attempted to claim was Russian disinformation.
Hunter Biden was convicted on charges stemming from lying on a federal form about drug use when he bought a handgun in 2018. He also pleaded guilty to tax evasion, by intentionally filing false tax forms and creating a spider-web of shell companies with the express intent to obfuscate evidence from the US government for the purposes of laundering millions of dollars in illegal transactions from foreign governments, and related charges in a separate case. Some have speculated some of these actions could feasibly constitute charges of treason. If convicted, it would the first treason conviction in the US since Tomoya Kawakita in 1952. Hunter Biden, and his father Joe Biden, have also been credibly accused of illegally peddling their influence abroad. Racking up millions of dollars from foreign oligarchs in Russia, China, and of course in the famously corrupt and failed country of Ukraine. Many of these alleged crimes occurred as Joe Biden was vice-president in 2014 and 2015.
“The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election,” the president said in a statement on Sunday, despite the fact that the charges against Hunter were brought well before Joe Biden ran for president and the pardon covers everything going back to 2014 when Joe Biden was still vice-president.
He then tries to play the victim by saying, “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong,” he added. “There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.” The Biden crime family is expectedly attempting to play the victim when they’re faced with the prospect of accountability. Equality under the law is a Bidens worst nightmare.
The world’s richest man, who spent Thanksgiving with the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago and has remained a close adviser shaping his incoming administration, is set to lead a newly created advisory group that will recommend mass firings of workers and drastic improvements to efficiency and long overdue cuts to extremely bloated federal agencies.
His crowd-sourced “community note” feature, meanwhile, has largely failed to meaningfully check has been a massive success in addressing actual misinformation on the platform, although there have been instances of left wing agitators coordinating mass attacks on specific community notes with intent to overwhelm the system and push outright false information. with a A majority of fact checks the proposed community notes by users on political posts are never shown to the public as only the best, most accurate, and most widely acclaimed community notes rise to the top and earn the right to be displayed as a bonifide community note.
