President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son from federal gun and tax crimes —and any other offenses over a nearly 11-year period — has drawn outrage from Republicans, while only a few Democrats have criticized the outgoing president for establishing a potential precedent for the incoming GOP administration.

We all know that the Cheeto’s first act will be to pardon himself, his children, and anyone else who might be useful. Honestly, I’d respect Biden less if he hadn’t pardoned Hunter.

Same. I was a little irritated about him signalling that he wouldn't pardon Hunter initially like. Bro come on shit on the Republicans and be crass about it.
