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.

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?

And only half as hot.

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

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.”

Well, until today.

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?

No good dad would do otherwise.

Agreed.

I'll be more interested if he pardons himself.

One of the Ds' paid propagandists weighs in and DefiantLs keeps receipts.

Community Notes with some cold hard facts...

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.

"Love is the death of duty. What is a vow, compared to the love of a child?"

With about a month to go, the Biden admin heats up tensions with China over natural resources used in electronics, batteries, and AI.

Ds pretend to be blindsided by Biden's pardon of Hunter.

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.

"Fuck you, enjoy Trump."

~Biden

One of the people Biden pardoned was the judge who was selling kids to private prisons.

Just like that BAM Biden's a scumbag.

Yeah, not sure why that dude was included, unless someone was like "This dude's old and not doing anything any more"

Biden pardoned the largest public service embezzler in US history.

He's going out a supervillain.

Included in the list of inmates Biden released who had been placed under home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic

Home confinement seems to be a theme of these pardons/commutations.

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...

Counterpoint: death penalty

I can't seem to decide reopening Australia as a penal colony is a bad idea.
