Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.
That’s funny because people say, despite the threats, he didn’t actually imprison anyone. Hillary comes to mind but I wasn’t paying attention enough to know who else he said should he locked up.
Because there were no actual prosecutable actions to convict anyone for, the republicans were just assembling one “special investigation” after another in an effort to waste everyone’s time. Come to think of it, most of the things conservatives scream about are akin to a child’s tantrum that you just try to mitigate until they’re quiet enough to sit down and get some work done…except we keep feeding them sugar and cartoons instead of putting their childish plantation asses to bed.
I’m no Trump supporter by any stretch of the imagination, but during his initial presidency, it felt like both sides were throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck. Endless investigations and political tantrums that ultimately led nowhere and set the stage for the chaotic timeline we’re living in now.
That was no “both sides” thing. The crimes that Treason Trump is guilty of are very serious. Our democracy has been seriously hurt by him not getting punished, it is just something that is not immediately obvious, like a rotted out board. Nothing that Hunter Biden did remotely rises to that level.
