With his pardon of son Hunter, Joe Biden delivers a heartfelt hypocrisy

IMHO, the only "hypocrisy" is with the conservative-owned press holding Biden to standards LONG since tossed aside for Trump. The people have made it clear they only respect a government who fights dirty, and WAY effing past time they get what they asked for. In the scheme of things, this is positively mundane - but they'll try to attack anything that Dems do that they'd gleefully make excuses for Trump doing since that pisses off Dems. I congratulate Biden for finally saying "fuck it," and doing the same thing they would do.

More corporate news, bullshit. They stood by and even congratulated Trump when he did far worse with the pardons he issued. Of course their hypocrisy goes without comment.

Yeah, that corporate bastion of pro-Trump sentiment, The Guardian.

There's no such thing anymore in a country without judicial standards, Biden's just playing the game by the rules we voted for

If Republicans have a problem with it, they've got nobody to blame but themselves. Personally I hope he goes a lot farther with this stuff, there's not much left to lose

That wouldn't change their immigration status though. Now maybe an executive order offering immediate citizenship to anyone who can prove they were in the country on, say, 1 dec.

For fucks sake! Hunter Biden would make a better President than that orange, serial rapist, felon that is going to pardon himself.
