In a move seemingly plucked straight from a political soap opera, outgoing President Joe Biden has granted his son, Hunter, a sweeping pardon for any alleged crimes between 2014 and 2024. This is not just a small-scale forgiveness; it’s more akin to a get-out-of-jail-free card that wouldn’t impress even the most lenient Monopoly players. In an era where political trust is as scarce as a competent barber in a worsted wool suit, the sight of a father showering his son with grace adds another chapter to the political theater that is the Biden administration.
The language of the pardon is riveting. It isn’t just targeted—it’s gloriously vague. Biden has absolved Hunter of any offenses known or unknown during a ten-year timeframe, essentially allowing him to skate by on any mischief cooked up in the White House’s underbelly. It’s reminiscent of how Richard Nixon got a pass after Watergate, but here it packs a two-for-one deal on the timeline. Strange how these political titans seem to understand each other perfectly when it comes to self-preservation.
Addiction is a living hell. Parents would give anything to help their children when they’re in the throes of it. Today, in pardoning Hunter Biden, the president did what any father would do for their son if he had the chance. Spare me the outrage. I’m pretty fired up rn. 😤✌🏼 pic.twitter.com/EBNIG5E5sh

Not only does this pardon put a spotlight on Hunter’s alleged crimes—from influence peddling to good old-fashioned substance abuse—but it also effectively throws a wrench in the Democrats’ gun control narrative. With his son felled by three felony gun charges, Biden’s latest act seems like a masterclass in hypocrisy, showing that while he calls for common sense gun legislation, he clearly doesn’t have any common sense when it comes to his own kin. The irony is thicker than a pot of cold molasses—and nobody seems eager to stir it.
The tension in the media is palpable. Journalists who once fawned over Biden’s principled stands have been forced to eat their words. The same folks who touted his ethical leadership are now left backpedaling faster than a Hall of Fame running back. Social media is saturated with pundits left scrambling to reconcile their narratives with this glaring contradiction. Talk about owning a narrative; the Democrats’ high moral ground just transformed into a swamp filled with self-interest and sleaze.
As Americans roll their eyes at the predictable melodrama, they are reminded that none of this should come as a shock. Voters have long resigned themselves to the reality that their leaders are likely to be corrupt. Whether it’s buddying up to big business or shifting the goalposts on accountability, the game is always rigged. Biden’s blatant favoritism toward his son is merely another act in the ongoing saga of politicians pretending to be held accountable while simultaneously pocketing favors for loved ones in dire need of them.
