Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.

The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.

Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.

Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.

This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.

    Thanks, but I’m not interested in reading a bunch of cherry-picked comments.

    I made no claim that none of the posts the OP was whining about existed, only implied that they were exaggerating as I didn’t see a single one while reading every single comment up until I reached OPs.

      The term “cherry-picked” isn’t applicable here since it implies I’m leaving out context or other information, but you already had context (the comments doing the opposite of defending), I simply showed you what you claimed to not see.

        The term is applicable because unless you provided those comments in the order you viewed comments in this post (which was the claim of my initial comment), you specifically sought out comments with the bias you were looking for, disregarding comments that did not fit the narrative.

          Yes I specifically sought out the comments you didn’t see, what’s so hard to understand about that?

          I responded with the list of comments you claimed you didn’t see, you already saw the other comments, why would I include them?
