Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Sunday gave President Joe Biden props for pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, before knocking Republicans over their hypocrisy. “Because at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon that is about to walk into the White House,” Crockett said of Donald Trump in an appearance on MSNBC.

Crockett then directed her attention to “anyone who wants to clutch their pearls” over the president’s decision to pardon his son, who was found guilty in June of illegally owning a gun in 2018 and pleaded guilty in September in a tax case.

“I would say take a look in the mirror because we also know that when it comes to this Cabinet, this Cabinet has more people accused of sexual assault than any incoming Cabinet probably ever in the history of America,” Crockett said in reference to several of the president-elect’s picks to join his administration.

She continued, “So we are living in unprecedented times and we know that this was completely political, as someone who serves on the [House] oversight committee, this was gamesmanship the entire time.” Crockett has previously slammed those on the GOP-led committee for ensuring that they were “pleasing Trump” through their efforts to investigate the president and his son.

1. Burnishing the Crockett Family name

It may be gauche to say this or to imply that Representative Crockett has any relation to Davy What’s-his-name, but she’s doing the Crockett surname up proud! Davy made life miserable for the political other guys back in the day, and Jasmine is doing the same to the Trumpers now.

2. Problem with being the only adults in the room

Is that it generates resentment and opposition. Dems are the only adults left. We are the parent who ask their kids to study and do things so they can be better and make the world a better place. They are the parent who buys kegs for their teen kids and then hits on the underage girls.

3. Trumps going to pardon all the January 6 th people.

Why shouldn’t president Biden pardon who he wants. It’s his sole decision.

Meanwhile, has Biden set free all those in prison for simple cannabis possession? I will salute such action by raising a LEGAL gummy that I get to mitigate chronic pain and get precious sleep.

11. OK, it was an honest typo/mistake in my headline, but sometimes mistakes are more correct

So I am not editing it and leaving it to stand.

4. What Rep. Crockett says, X1000.

And an extra-special Fuck You Where You Breathe message to the NY Times' Bret Stephens, for his shameful trashing of the Bidens in today's opinion section.

5. Had Hunter not been a Biden, it's unlikely he would even have been prosecuted in the first place.

I’m glad President Biden did this.

6. Ouch!

“I would say take a look in the mirror because we also know that when it comes to this Cabinet, this Cabinet has more people accused of sexual assault than any incoming Cabinet probably ever in the history of America,”

Brava Ms Crockett, that was a direct hit to the groin.

34-count convicted felon. thank you New York state.

46 months and counting, thank you Merrick the Meek.

15. Those will more than likely be dropped and overturned.

The price for not having a plan B.

[republianmushroom]
