...she hates that Biden did it because the both sides people will use the hypocrisy as a justification. I wrote this yesterday in another forum:

If his name wasn't "Biden" and he wasn't related to Joe, he would have never been brought to trial. The same applies to his potential sentence. Lastly, considering the biggest fucking archcriminal in American history is taking office, as opposed to going to prison, and the Supreme Court has put him above the law, and there is proof he used the Bureau of Prisons against Michael Cohen, fucking yes, I'd pardon my son.

If you're a Democrat and you question this, you haven't come to understand the reality we're about to live in. And, unfortunately, some people's lives have led them to be unable to appreciate just how ugly, petty, and corrupt those in power can be.


Joe Biden had no business allowing the incoming corrupt administration, which has already expressed as plainly as can be done how they will go after their political enemies, to be in charge of his son. Even if you're in a federal correction camp, and I guarantee you a dollar to a doughnut he wasn't going to be sent to one of those, bad and dangerous things can happen to you. Hunter Biden in prison with any January 6 insurrectionist nut is a risk, and that's just one person out of many who may feel they have a reason to go after him. Fuck the naysayers and the pearl clutchers. Joe Biden, who's already lost two children, shouldn't let his son be put in harm's way to try to prove a point about integrity when we have what we have coming into the White House.
