I would struggle for a reason not to do Hunter on the way out.
I mean, it's your kid. You HAVE to do something. That's why he's at -10000. I'd genuinely lose all respect for the man if he didn't pardon his son.

He would probably sign anything pit in front of him.
Genuinely a real concern. Look at how that aide was telling a very disoriented and confused Feinstein how to vote during a session.
Is it too much to ask for a government whose top tier members aren't older than the cast of the Golden Girls?

In a statement, Hunter Biden said he was “disappointed” by the guilty verdict but “grateful” for his family’s love. President Biden expressed support for his son in a statement and said he would “respect the judicial process.”

Is he pardoned for anything he's ever done, including stuff we dont know about? Or just stuff he's been convicted of? How broad is this pardon?
anything he did in the past 10 years, even if not known about

Biden pardoned Hunter. I have for one am shocked and appalled. Now Trump might justify using his power in a corrupt or self serving way!! /s
No good dad would do otherwise.

Agreed.
I'll be more interested if he pardons himself.

Although, I still think as a father he had no choice. Doesn't matter how it looks or what you said, you pardon your kid.

I really wish the posturing would stop on this issue. He's a father. He HAD to do this. Sure, all the evidence points to him being a corrupt piece of shit who used his son as a middle man with foreign powers to allow them to buy influence, but I would have respected him even less if he had let his son rot in jail when he had the power to prevent it.

Relevant, but off topic: I think we need to stop giving normal prison sentences to non-violent offenders across the board. The exception being if they're given life or so many years that it equals life. At that point, fuck 'em. However, in lieu of jail, they need to be given massive hours of community service, constant drug tests, working off debt (if applicable), and the promise that if found committing more crimes (not traffic shit) while in this program, they go to big boy jail with a stiff penalty...and stiffer roommate...
