To the surprise of absolutely no one with even half a brain, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, over the holiday weekend - despite consistently telling Americans he would do no such thing as recently as a month ago. Not only for the crimes he was prosecuted for by Biden's Department of Justice, but for ANY and ALL crimes he may have committed for a 10 year period. The only other person in history to receive such a pardon was Richard Nixon.
Joe Biden is no different than Trump in his destruction of norms and attacking our American institutions, he just claims otherwise. But, as has always been the case, Joe Biden is a liar and his presidency has done real damage to America and politics, and his pardon of his son is the perfect example of what's so wrong with our current political climate.
