Hunter Biden, the son of the sitting president and a figure whose life could be the subject of a riveting yet poorly received reality show, has now officially entered the guilty plea club. In a dramatic twist that seems almost too scripted for a Netflix series, Biden faced six misdemeanor counts and three felonies for failing to cough up a hefty $1.4 million in taxes. That’s right—while hardworking Americans struggle to make ends meet, the son of the president who promised to fight for the middle class somehow managed to let a small fortune slip under the radar.
As if the mere act of pleading guilty wasn’t dramatic enough, Biden’s legal team first attempted an “Alford plea,” a legal maneuver allowing someone to plead guilty while still claiming their innocence. In layman’s terms, that’s akin to someone getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar while insisting they were just checking for crumbs. However, reality struck hard, and Biden eventually settled for an “open plea,” which implies a reluctant admission that he might have indeed been indulging in some fiscal gymnastics worthy of an Olympic medalist.

Sentencing is set for December 16. Coincidentally, that date might open up some “family discussions” around the Biden dinner table, especially given President Biden’s previous steadfast stance against issuing a pardon. However, with his son facing serious consequences, some are betting that the old “family values” rhetoric could take on a whole new meaning. After all, what could be more prescient for a dad than facing the possibility of his son heading to federal prison right before Christmas?
The president had once claimed he wouldn’t use his presidential powers to bail out his son. However, with the 2024 elections looming and his campaign giving off more confusion than a game of three-card monte, it’s uncertain whether his resolve has wavered. Perhaps the prospect of his son spending time in a federal facility might change his mind—after all, families are supposed to stick together, especially when the chips are down.
For those still on the fence about the Biden family saga, it’s time to buckle up for more storylines. With these developments, the circus is just getting started, and the ringmaster seems to be more focused on maneuvering for political advantage than on family integrity. Make no mistake, this story isn’t just developing; it’s barreling down the track with more twists and turns than a rural back road. How this comedy of errors will unfold remains an open question—one that conservatives are keen to watch closely.
