Can I add Old Joe's pardon of his son as another very serious sin committed by a D? I'm having a pretty hard time with this second term-T Unleashed. While carefully examining all the miseries, I thought about what would have happened to Hunter Biden if his dad hadn't pardoned him. If the second term is so hard on me, what would it have been like for Joe? There's no guard rails around T's thirst for revenge, and Joe would have been helpless to save his son. His suvivng son, whose case would have been quietly dealt with if his father wasn't president. I'm grateful for the mercy of Joe's pardon. Mercy seems so precious now.
I still contend that Biden should have only *commuted* Hunter's sentence (and not pardoned him) on the one conviction he had (he was guilty as hell of not reporting drug use on his gun purchase form, even if that type of 'technical' crime is almost never prosecuted). Joe should have pardoned Hunter on the tax case (as Joe did) where Hunter had pleaded already guilty because Hunter had actually taken responsibility. And then Joe should have pardoned Hunter (again, as he did) for anything else that might have transpired because Trump had openly talked about going after Hunter whether or not there was any there there. And Biden should not have talked about selective prosecution and prosecutorial weaponization etc as he did, because that damages the rule of law - I was not happy about Biden using the same language we dislike Trump for.
Even if, in my view, Biden botched the execution of his pardon power in Hunter's case, I'm still glad at the end of the day that he did it, because otherwise Hunter would have been Pam Bondi's first victim for no valid reason.

I was happy he did that. Crimes that normally do not involve jail time should not be prosecuted the way they went after Hunter.
Agree. Trump would be sending Hunter to El Salvador.
Or a Russian Gulag.
