President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.

Remember guys, it's not corruption when it's legal...
A lot of these comments sum up to "if they can do bad, we can do bad". Two party system will be the death of the U.S.
And yet neither will vote for a third party, shocker
We don't have a system that allows for third parties. Push for ranked choice voting or approval voting at the local and state levels. Also push for an increase in the House and multi member districts. If you want a viable third party, it has to be built up from the base and can't just be some asshole who runs every four years for publicity.
Voting 3rd party is why Donald Trump is our president.
Totally legal. Totally cool.
