If I recall, Pappy Joe said he would not pardon him - and I respected him for that decision. As the Baretta theme song said, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time................don't do it".
But here he has gone and done it. Fully and Unconditionally.
Biden was never the strongest leader, and this makes him less so. To go back on his word feeds in to every single thing the GOPers have said about him in the first place - and this kind of proves their point.
To me, on the left, I see this as no better than BLOTUS pardoning all his fuckboys at the end of his first term, and no doubt the multiple January 6ers who will have a clean slate, along with the likes of Bannon and anyone else he didn't get to let off the hook the first go-round.
....and even though BLOTUS did it first, the tagline will be, Pappy Joe let his son go free...... and that's all the MAGA'ts will hear, know and believe. Everything else will be fair game.
Pardoning Hunter undermines any credibility of the democrats being less repugnant as the republicans. Don't get me wrong, should Project 2025 come to life (and I believe it will) they will be more repugnant, but you're just gonna get 'pardoning his son' thrown back in your face.
Ok, maybe I DO know how I feel about Pappy Joe giving a pardon to Hunter.

What a 'clanger' he's dropped, just as he's about to ride off into the sunset, though now with significantly diminished respect. Shame!
I just can't equate Joe pardoning Hunter in any way w/what Trump is about to do. I can't even watch any news at the moment. Such a frenzy about this w/Joe, but always a hard pass on the horrible things Trump does and says.
I was not surprised, it is his prerogative one of the few clear powers in the Constitution. I expect there will be a flurry of pardons in the late January, enough that no one will remember this.
I’m proud of him for doing it , after all the filth Trump has done and is doing the least Biden gets to do is leave Washington with his remaining family intact. Go Dark Brandon give them another fireball in the butt!
