If you think President Biden is the leader of a crime family and everything he says is a a lie, father pardoning son despite numerous vows he would never do so comes as something other than a surprise. When Joe pardoned Hunter yesterday, however, he prefaced it with a laughable statement. The White House has posted the text of the statement and the pardon here.
Biden actually includes this proposition in the preface: “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.” The proposition is refuted by the pardon itself. Like the man from Crete who propounded the famous paradox, Biden may as

There are very evil people walking in plain sight in order to camouflage themselves on a daily basis. Some where suits, some where dresses. The Demented Fuhrer doesn't remember what he said, yesterday. Teleprompters, index cards, handlers, etc. In addition, the Demented Fuhrer has his family.

My top 3 President liars in my lifetime:
#3. Obama. He lied on some major issues and used smooth talk and his race to quell a lot of discussion of his lies. Most of the time he was out golfing or enjoying the goodies of the job while secretly doing bad things for the country.
#2. Biden. He is a pathological liar who is not very good at it. He lies about everything and when he says I’m speaking the God,s honest truth, you know he is telling a whopper. He could easily be #1 but I cut him a little slack since he is also demented. If not for politics he would have tried to be an organized crime boss.
#1. Clinton. Hands down the smoothest liar ever who really started the trend of lying to the American people as an everyday occurrence. He occasionally let the truth come out as a way to always keep you guessing if he was lying. He would have made a great snake oil salesman in the 1800s.

11 years? That's a lot of time to CYA. But then again FHB and FJB were working the Big Guy kickback checks over many, many years. We knew this would happen. Pardoning FHB before his sentencing allows him to say he was never convicted. You can only be a felon after the sentencing. But then again FHB was the real victim, wink, wink.

Now the entire world knows the Bidens are crooks. He will go down in history as the most corrupt President in the US. He is bringing down the Obama's and the Clintons with him since we know they supported him knowing what he was. I just hate the fact that Biden will still get his pensions and SS and Secret Service all paid for by the hard working people of America and Hunter will get to keep the millions he stole from other countries.

Not surprised about the Pardon. But, was wrong on the timing. Christmas Eve or his last hour in office were my choices. So now President Trump has been convicted of a 37 felonies by a New Yark Kangaroo court and Quid Pro Joe and Snorter skate free. What a country.

Joe Biden wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on his worthless arse.

More indisputable evidence of the nauseating character of the too-incompetent-to-govern and too-disinterested-to-govern Bidet-Hairass regime.
Has this peeled off a few more of The Gullibles into the "eyes open" category?
Flush the 2020-2024 commode.
MAGA!

I really don't care about Hunter, he only was able to do what he did because his dad was a US Senator/VP who was into peddling influence, so Joe is the real criminal here, Hunter was just a bag boy with nasty personal habits. But a 10 year blanket pardon (!) covers what was going on with Burisma and China, so it confirms that Biden was indeed selling influence, and this is really a self pardon. The next time I hear someone call Trump a criminal I will shove this in their face and accuse them of stupidity or blind indifference-just what the Democrats always rely on.

In response to Biden's pardon, Congress should
1: prosecute Joe, for Burisma and other crimes he committed while VP, to the fullest extent of the law.
2. change the darn rules so that a POTUS cannot pardon a family member.

US Constitution: Article II,Section 2, Clause 1:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
So, re: suggestions to limit the pardon power......it'll take a Constitutional Amendment. Might be possible after the stink that Joe put out, but I doubt it. Constitutional Amendments were given a very high difficulty level for a good reason.

FTA: "For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.”
The border is secure.
Inflation is temporary.
Trump wants a national abortion ban.
I never spoke to Hunter's business partners.
I will not pardon Hunter. No one is above the law.
Your legacy is set in stone, Joe.
I look forward to the day when one of your benefactors drops a dime on you to the MSM.
