Some guy interviewed on NPR was all about "taking the

High road" about the pardon. Absolutely fuck that shit. Wake the fuck up. There isn't any high road anymore.
Beyond the worn way thin/gone veneer of polite society it is all smash mouth fights now.

I'm soooooo glad Biden got with it NOW.

4. Sadly, I've never understood why many people think NPR is centrist or unbiased.

For years, I have believed their reporting to be problematic (and sometimes focused on trivia instead of big issues).

12. They never push back to any degree and if they do

They back off immediately after the one push.
There isn't any alternative on broadcast other than NPR. That's all there is. It's a horrible situation.

7. This will not be the end for Hunter Biden's battle with Republicans and likely more prosecutions.

The Republican House and Senate will subpoena him to hearings and ask him under oath about all the alleged business improprieties along with his escapades during his addiction in order to try and besmirch President Biden . He no longer has criminal liability so he cannot (legally) refuse to answer. If he refuses he will be held in contempt of congress and AG Bondi will prosecute. (since that 'crime' will be after the dates covered by the pardon).
If he does answer and he does not 100% tell the truth, AG Bondi will prosecute for lying to congress. (again, since that 'crime' will be after the dates covered by the pardon).

Any objection to a contempt of congress prosecution by Democrats will be blunted as President Biden's DOJ prosecuted Bannon for the same thing.

Hunter Biden and President Biden will not be able to get this behind them until the Republicans have got their pound of flesh, one way or the other.

10. Trump Would've Sic'd his legal goon squad on him

I truly believe the orange turd would have sic’d his legal goon squad on Hunter and made the whole family miserable.
How many deplorables did diaper don pardon?
Bannon, Flynn, Stone, Jared’s pervert father, there’s a whole lot more not so nice douchebags that like the convicted felon will never have to pay for their crimes.
So why not pardon his son.
