it's not so hard to admit she looks lije a friggin elephant why blame the innocent cloths/attire..

Because she's a woman.

Women rarely take personal responsibility for anything.

They must find something or someone else to blame for their shortcomings or faults.

You can already see this one blaming the husband, the makeup artist, the traditional attire, everything but the woman in the center of it all.

President Biden on Sunday issued a “full and unconditional” pardon to his son Hunter, who was convicted by a jury of illegally purchasing a handgun in Delaware and pleaded guilty to tax charges in Los Angeles.

Biden and his staff had repeatedly and publicly stated he would not pardon Hunter. But with less than two months remaining in his term and President-elect Donald Trump openly calling for his political enemies to be prosecuted, Biden reconsidered.

In explaining the controversial and extraordinary action, which came weeks before the president’s son was to be sentenced by federal judges on both coasts, Biden claimed Hunter was the victim of unfair political attacks.

“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,” Biden said in a statement released Sunday.

“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 continued in the statement.

“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.”

Republicans condemned the move, with Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, accusing the president of lying “from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities.”

“He also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden,” Comer said in a statement.

“Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

President Biden said he came to the decision after spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his son and other family members in Nantucket.

The pardon covers offenses that Hunter Biden “may have committed or taken part in” from Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 1, 2024. It effectively wiped away the two pending criminal cases in which the younger Biden faced a combined maximum of several years in prison, although he was likely to serve only a few years, at most.

But the pardon also offers immunity for other conduct in that period, when he was active in foreign business dealings, including his seat on the board of Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company he joined in 2014 while his father was vice president.

Hunter Biden was paid millions by the company. He denies any wrongdoing.

David Weiss, the special counsel whose office brought both cases against Hunter Biden, did not respond to a message seeking comment.

Late Sunday, Hunter Biden’s lawyers submitted notices of the pardon in federal court, saying both cases are now moot and that the pardon “requires an automatic dismissal” of each.

“I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering,” Hunter Biden said in a statement.

In June, Hunter Biden was convicted of three federal gun crimes, including lying about being drug-free when he purchased and briefly owned a gun while he was addicted to crack cocaine.

The guilty verdict capped a weeklong trial in which prosecutors elicited testimony from Biden’s ex-wife, an ex-girlfriend and his sister-in-law turned lover. All spoke in graphic detail about his addiction to drugs and alcohol, with First Lady Jill Biden often sitting in the front row.

Shortly before the trial testimony began, President Biden told ABC journalist David Muir that he would accept the jury’s verdict in the Delaware case.

“Have you ruled out a pardon for your son?” Muir asked.

“Yes,” Biden replied.

After the verdict, the president said he would continue to “respect the judicial process” while his son considered an appeal.

In September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to all nine federal tax charges he faced, just as jury selection was about to begin in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom.

The indictment in the tax case included racy details of Biden’s life between 2016 and 2019 — the period during which now he admits he failed to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes — including the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent on escorts, a pornographic website, hotels, luxury car rentals and other lavish personal expenses.

As part of his guilty plea, Biden had acknowledged improperly classifying his personal expenses as business expenses.

In both cases, Hunter Biden and his legal team had sought to paint himself as a victim of selective, unfair, and politically motivated prosecution. His lawyers had pointed to a plea deal that was reached in 2023 and would have spared Hunter any prison time. It unraveled under questioning from a judge in Delaware, and after the deal collapsed, Weiss, the special counsel, secured indictments in both cases.

The president referred to the end of the plea deal in his statement Sunday.

“Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases,” Biden said. Instead, he said, politics had marred his son’s cases. “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further.”

Hunter’s lawyers had tried to get both criminal cases dismissed, arguing again that the charges were borne out of a selective and unfair prosecution, but neither judge was swayed.

Hunter Biden now lives in Malibu, where he took up a daily ritual of painting.

spiSeyi:
Trump copied Tinubu politicking by using religion( campaigning against LGBTQ and abortion which resonate with the the US majority oldies bcs the US was founded on the Christian values), and racism/tribalism (Trump campaigned that he will deport the immigrants which as become a bane of fair among the US citizens and an average white American is a racist ). He then rode to power despite been rejected and unpopular with a lot of controversies.
So when you look carefully into Trump victory he played the religious and tribal card like Tinubu, I just hope that he won't end up becoming the T-pain of the USA

See as you just dey spew rubbish and falsehoods. Which beer parlor fed you this kind of garbage?

cococandy:
I also want to believe you’re an intelligent person. So you should know that how well they can do the job heavily depends on their character.A greedy untrustworthy person will sell national secrets to pad their pockets. Trump has already done that and will do it again more egregiously if given the chance.

A person who can’t stick to their vows can easily be manipulated by an outsider who could be a national security threat. Said outsider could weasel their way into the White House and possibly get access to national security information. That’s why it’s always a huge scandal when presidents or high ranking officials are caught in compromising situations. It’s not because anyone expects them to be perfect. But we expect them to be above board because ours lives and our country’s existence could very well depend on it. Trump has shown he’s not capable of fidelity. Time and time again. I could go on and on about why he’s a terribly choice with FACTS.

I don’t know what you people consider as being able to do the job. Is it the ability to grandstand and make a lot of noise? Is that what a good leader represents to you guys? Someone who has no actual intelligence? No wisdom to listen to experts before taking action on crucial matters that affects the whole population? No decorum? Doesn’t have the slightest wisdom on how to act amongst other world leaders to promote American diplomacy?

Apart from religious bigoted and myopic Nigerians (no surprise here) all advanced countries who were polled on who they’d vote for between the two candidates overwhelmingly voted for Kamala. I’m talking 90% and above. Says a lot for why Nigeria is the way it is and the rest of the world has moved on.

You love unscrupulous “strong men” who have no actual wisdom to lead. You think being brash and loud is sign of a good leader. Even the Bible some of you love to pretend is your guide book in life tells us a leader has to be ready to serve. Trump is anything but a servant.
Pompous, egomaniacal disgusting dictator. He has no place in civilized society.

Hmmm...
I appreciate you taking the time to type that out. Many people just prefer to hurl insults and be on their way. Take good care of yourself.

cococandy:
Character matters and Trump’s character is foul

If you need someone to point it out to you then you are lost

No need for the sass, let's try to be mature. I believe you're an intelligent woman Coco. I believe you know that no human is perfect, even you. Let's agree for argument sake that Trump's character is 'foul' (you didn't clarify what that means) aspirants for political office aren't campaigning to be your friend, they're campaigning to do a job. You don't evaluate your mechanic primarily on his/her character, you assess him/her on how well they can get the job done.

Deffi:
So sorry for you.....You're still observing the aesthetics.....

IT'S NOT HOW SHE SPEAKS, IT'S HER PLANS FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD AT LARGE I'M MORE CONCERNED WITH......NO GOOD PLANS WHATSOEVER!

The Abortionist and War mongering Harris will not win Tuesday's elections by God's Grace........The sensible, though brash atimes, but SENSIBLE, and God fearing, PRO-LIFE TRUMP IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED ATATES of AMERICA.

Put sentiments outta the way!

It's cococandy. She'll support anything the liberals tell her to.

Vawulence120:
Ok

WTF!!!

humberjade:
Have you been following the US election at all? Is it how Trump speaks highly of Putin and other Dictators and Authoritarians? Or how it was exposed recently by a former close ally of Trump's of how he secretly sent Covid 19 test kits to Putin for his private use while Americans were without same and were dying in their millions? And how Putin told him to keep it secret so that he doesn't get into trouble with his people? Or how he, against all protocols took classified documents to his private residence after he left the white house? Or how he has spoken privately to Putin more than 4 times since he left office, unheard of any former US President? The list goes on and on...you either use your unbiased lenses to view this or keep watching Fox News.

Ok bro.
Peace.

Kukutente23:
That's what the left leaning MSM and their allies don't want people to realise
She's losing big and she knows it
That's why she changed tact to calling trump Fascist and his supporters Nazi. But it's still not working.
Just check out the comments sections of cnn, msnbc, cbs and you'll bee shocked! These are all leftist media

It's likely she's going to lose but don't underestimate people's irrational fear of, and hatred for Trump.

IjeBos:
You said "Many". What percentage is "Many"?
I don't play these silly linguistic intellectually dishonest games.
If you have a point, make it.

Sigh.
Using big words doesn't cover anything bro. You insinuated that Trump has almost non-existent support among black voters. Historically, in American presidential elections, African Americans tend to vote Democrat as a bloc so no Republican candidate is going to get more than, on average, 15% of the black vote. Trump is currently projected to have as high as 20% of the black vote. For a republican presidential candidate, that's massive.

IjeBos:
Of course you do. What is that based on?
Did you stick your finger in the air and that's what you felt?

As I said, most Trump Supporters are uneducated or undereducated.

Go do some reading.
Don't listen to right wing propaganda or watch youtube clips, read books or article written by people with expertise in their fields.
Use your brain to do some critical thinking.

Pax

And what is that exactly?

N2B2:
Good move by INEOS Group, but is it too late?

They should not have waited so long to sack that bald fraud. It should have been done after the draw with Porto.

Man Utd's performance is so bad now that I wonder if they would even have a "new manager bounce" with Amorim. (PS: NMB is when a team suddenly starts performing well after hiring a new manager.)

I hope Amorim can salvage something from this abysmal season—even if it's a top 6 finish in the EPL.

It should have been done after the FA cup final.

IjeBos:
Many?
What is statistically "Many" to you?

You insinuated that it is rare for Trump to have black supporters. A good number of black people support him.

Jayhome24:
Democrat you say? Alright pls list all where Dmocrats fire any of the odds in boded without Republican being the first to fire it.

Can you be clearer?

IjeBos:
And that is what Trump is bringing to the US.
Poor leadership, corruption, incompetence, racism/tribalism and ethno-religious sentiments.
And that is what you seem to support.

You live it daily (I assume you're in Nigeria), but seem not to be able to recognize it.

I believe it's more the other way round. The Democrats seem so hellbent on covering a lot of misdeeds. They're going to turn the U.S. into the Nigeria we ran from.

IjeBos:
It's like saying 2 black people endorsed Trump. They know what's up.
What was the purpose of your post outside of sounding wholly ignorant?

Brother, with respect, I didn't say 'all Muslims' endorsed him (that's impossible) but you seem to enjoy a rude retort. I don't know why you put the race stuff there though but Trump's support also has many black voters.

IjeBos:
I'm a US and Nigerian citizen so Trump is my problem.

That same corruption you speak of is what Trump's first term looked like.
Again, how many other non black countries has Trump called a shithole?

And respect yourself. Nigeria has it's problems but it's not a shithole.

Currently, it is. It has potential to be more but poor leadership and ethno-religious sentiments are holding it down. Most of the people that 'japa' would never have had a reason to if the system was working even at 60%.

IjeBos:
Not speaking like an illiterate. Work on it.

Again brother. Comprehension. Work on it.

Shimran:
What brings Islam to this thread?
Just because the guy says his opinion?

FYI: there is nothing like 'Islamic terrorists', just use the word Muslims next. And that's isn't new to us.

Where did you come from brother?
I was replying to that guy's comment. You seem not to understand our exchange.

IjeBos:
All Muslims endorsed Trump?
Sit down.
Some Muslim leaders endorsed Trump.
They are always grifters who look out for themselves in every group of people.

Comprehension brother. Work on it.

IjeBos:
And you?
What do you gain by supporting a guy [b]who thinks Nigeria is a shithole [/b]and everyone lives in huts?

Truth does something to you guys' insecurities. Was Trump lying? Nigeria is currently a shithole. Corruption everywhere, poor infrastructure, weak currency, no power, poor medical facilities, unemployment, businesses closing down everyday, inflation, low life expectancy, people fleeing the country in droves. If you don't like it, go and do something about it. Trump isn't your problem.

Shimran:
And so is to Kamala.
It's their right to choose whom they want.

Let Trump be multiple times harsher than Bush, Islam spreads and grows

What happened after post 9/11 purported attacks ?

You're starting to sound more like a fundamentalist.
What's with the 'Islam spreads' stuff? Is that what's most important?

Jayhome24:
God bless you 50 cent. We are tired of evil, arrogant, abusive disrespectful, racist, fascist, war mongers, taken affairs of the global authority enough is enough of them.

No one want Trump, the entire world is against Trump except his Republican brain twisted mofos and obidients of Nigeria and I'm not suprise because birds of the same feather flocks together.

You just described the Democrats. Your words betray your nature.
And you need to control your temper. Too much anger isn't good for your health.

thatigboman:
assuming (I know he wount win) trump wins. And then? What effect will it have on 50cent? U think America is like Nigeria where opposition are hounded and jailed and their businesses shut down?

You seem very confident.

Shimran:
Like he did in his first tenure? And all of a sudden, Islam/Muslims ceased to exist?

Nothing threaten the existence of Islam !, not even by Muslims, talk less of nonessential entities/individuals

Muslims in America's biggest Muslim-populated area officially came out to endorse Trump some days ago. They know what's up.

Almiron:
You dedicated your time to anti Trump News here, but won't stop him from getting reelected. I wonder wetin you wan gain, passport you no get, Yankee you no fit enter, desert you no fit cross, abi you think if Kamala enter she go dash Naija money and Tpain go disburse am reach you.

Read my fingers. Trump will win!!! He will so win that you will have to rant again for the next four years. 🤣🤣

Delulu liberal wannabe TDS

You don't know why he's angry?
They told him Trump will not allow illegal immigrants into America. He wants to run away from Tinubulation after voting for the disaster.

gigabyte13:
😂😂😅😅🤣🤣😅😅
😂😂🤣😅😅😅🤣🤣
Putin endorses Harris
Bro wake jareeeeeee
Is this supposed to be a joke or what.

He actually did.
Kamala's nothing more than a puppet for the globalist cabal.
Same with Biden.
Same with Tinubu.

humberjade:
He's just trying to use reverse psychology, Putin is Trump's buddy to the core.

Trump and his erratic MAGA squad would be the end of the US if not checked immediately.

Na wa o.
So you're now in Putin's mind.

gigabyte13:
USA elections have been relatively peaceful all these years until Trump steps in....
That guy gets African blood
Make Dem investigate him origin well
Like Putin like Trump
Take it by force by fire

Yet Putin endorsed Kamala. Why are you guys like this?

NwokoloOwa:
Trump na real idiot and those supporting him are more idiotic than him.

Well after all that's how Hitler deceived so many idiots then.

He will see shege next Tuesday. America will rise again to recalibrate the system and again stop his nonsense

Recalibrate the system?
You're funny.
Who is currently in power?

Praiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssseeeeeeeeee theeeeeee LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOORRRRDDDDDD.

Now we can at least stop watching turgid, boring football from a manager that has no tactical plan. Ten Hag might be a decent coach but he's the wrong person for Man Utd.

Na only Chelsea fans no go happy with this news.

Eras come to an end indeed...

ziemcorp:
I suspected that this would happen once we met an organized team. Our girls are good but they have too many issues. Selfish play, tactical naïvety and inexperience. Our group did us no favors. Because we played poor sides, it didn't allow us to quickly spot and work on these lapses. Well, better luck next time. One day, God will give us something to smile about in this country.

True.
