Enough of the tongue wagging of the chattering commentators... Biden was right to fully pardon Hunter

No one is saying Hunter is a saint.. but because his father is President does not mean he has to be held to a different level of justice.. The charges against him that he was pardoned for, usually do not carry a jail sentence..

Trump was planning on burying Hunter under the prison.. he is a vengeful man ..

etc.? YES. And I'm think to GOD that Pres. Biden is allowed a give me.

In addition: Pres. Biden should be working around the clock to do other such things, of course, the pardons, but perhaps other things that only the Pres. can do. E.g. like an executive order that no one w/ any felony convictions can serve in the federal government, this would ruin (in theory) any of tRUMP's scumbag choices.

Also, give pocket pardons for Jack Smith, others too for simply doing their jobs.

As I think of more things, I'll add them here...

President Biden did the correct thing in pardoning his son.

You want to reform and curtail something that's right there in the Constitution? That has been interpreted about as broadly as it ever could be?

Do tell.

I don’t subscribe to the belief that we should play by a different set of rules. He was within his rights to do it and he did it.
