Now ask how many would have done the same. I don't support it either, but I understand.

We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

If I said I wasn't gonna do it, I wouldn't do it.
Same as when I tell my friend's kids not to do something that's dangerous. I tell them to stop doing it, explain why, and tell them if they do it again and hurt themselves I will not have sympathy. And I have followed through on that. I still make sure they are OK, but I don't comfort them.
I wouldn't run for office, so I wouldn't be in a situation where I feel the need to lie about what I would do. I would definitely pardon my kids if I could. I wouldn't care how it makes me look. It's tax fraud, not murder. Hunter was targeted for prosecution because of his father, which just makes him feel more responsible. If he was Hunter Kraft, it would have been settled with a fine.
So yeah, when Biden said he wasn't going to pardon his son, I didn't believe that for a second. I also don't support pardoning his son, because I do think tax cheats, all tax cheats, should face prison. But if it were me, with my kids, I can't say I wouldn't do the same, especially if I felt responsible for bringing them onto the battlefield.
I am on the fence. I don't fully support it but I'm not super against it either.
One of the benefits of a lame duck administration is being able to do unpopular things...
So sure a pardon, what else are they doing in this golden hour of their power?
There’s way more than ten Americans. False news.
