Hot take: Don't care. This is the least of his (Clarity EDIT: President Biden's) crimes, and I don't care about him looking after family.
Hunter is absolute scum, but this still might be the most honorable thing Grandpa Joe did in the last four years.
EDIT: I still think it's understandable, if corrupt. However, I think I was also unclear; I meant the pardon is the least of Joe's crimes, not Hunter's. The president has nearly unlimited pardon powers. Of course he was going to use them. I'm not saying it's good, I'm not saying Hunter deserves it, but I'm saying it's par for the course. It was much more broad than I initially thought, too, which does sour me on it, but it's still totally expected and within Joe's rights.
It's a little broader than the gun conviction.
I'm aware. Point is, pardoning your totally guilty son is still more honorable and respectable than destroying this country.
Pardons are very often for unfavorable people who don't deserve it. Biden is using the power he is given to look after his (shitty, degenerate) family. Don't make me defend him. C'mon man. Listen, Fat.
I'm with you. Everything else they've both done aside, looking after his family is entirely reasonable.
"Looking after family" means giving your fuckup son his old room back after he goes bankrupt from a failed business, gets divorced and loses his house, and is struggling with alcoholism. Abusing your authority to give blanket immunity for a decade of malfeasance isn't reasonable, it's criminal conspiracy. Both Joe and Hunter should spend the rest of their lives in prison.
We are not an aristocracy. Fuck his family
