I don't like it.  Biden is a liar and a hypocrite.  But if I put myself in his shoes, I could do a corrupt thing too, especially if there are no consequences.

And no, I am not excusing it.

It seems like every President gets to the end of his term and does a bunch of last minute pardons for people who do not deserve to be pardoned.

Seriously? Because it's the right thing to do. What does the kid learn if he/she doesn't suffer the consequences of his/her actions? Not a damn thing except they can get away with it again. Hunter is a train wreck for a reason and it's because he's never had to pay any price for his stupidity. 

If I were a parent I would not circumvent justice if my child was guilty of a crime. They commit the crime, they pay the price. 

I've never understood the whole Presidential pardon thing and don't agree with it, especially if they're allowed to pardon members of their own families. That should absolutely not be allowed due to obvious conflict of interest. 

Between the failure of Harris's campaign bid and this pardon, the Democrats are imploding. I guess they're adopting the 'Go Hard or Go Home' saying except they're going hard before they go home.
