Why Biden's Pardon Of Hunter Makes Sense

So Joe Biden has given a presidential pardon to his son Hunter, in spite of saying numerous times that he would not do so.

Yeah, it's a flip-flop. A broken promise. And a bit of naked nepotism, too. But I think it makes perfect sense. Here's why:

To hear Biden's own reasons, he said, “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.”

Interestingly, that is precisely the same reason Trump will give when pardoning January 6th rioters, various other toadies, and himself.

Except that whereas Biden's complaints are legitimate, Trump's are bogus.

But that's beside the point. Biden, like many of us, knows that a world of abuse is coming. Trump will abuse his powers for revenge and personal gain as much as he is able, and given his cabinet nominations, it's clear that he wants to maximize that abuse. There will be hurt, there will be pain, and there will be chaos.

And in that coming chaos, the only thing that will be left that will truly matter to Joe Biden is an old man's undying love towards his son.

So yeah, I don't blame him. Trump is about to break all sorts of promises. That's what he does, and what he's always done. So one more broken promise by Biden really doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of the corruption which is about to dominate the White House.

I only hope he also gives a blanket pardon do anyone else Trump deems an "enemy of the state" as a means of blunting the upcoming abuse of the justice system.
