This cannot happen in saner climes naa, they have strong institutions, their judiciary is not like our own, their president is not corrupt and their political actors are as holy as the angels.

It's nepotism. American politics is like Nigerian politics. The only reason why their politicans perform is because most of the country's income comes from tax, and if you start messing around with people's tax...what happened in France in 1792 ad will happen again.....

Otherwise, American politics is very much like Nigerian politics. One American on quora once told a story about a government worker who was being paid for doing nothing. He was not sacked because he was put there by a politican.....lol.

Binden would have set up a good example with his own son,why because if those criminal behind the bar,those drug addict are being given same chance they will seek for forgiveness too

Can you narrate to this Forum,the heavy penalty that Hunter Biden did- that is so heavy for him not to be pardoned by his Father- the President?
Or can you tell us,why Trump,who led the chaos of overrunning down the USA Capitol City- should be a President that should now returned back to the same White House- same man,who wouldn't take it- that the Elections was Free and Fair,if Harris had won the Elections!
It is the degree of Offence,we are talking here not the 34- Felon Cases,on his neck!

Only God knew the pressure his wife the mother of his son must have put on him before he arrived at this decision. You can't underestimate the love of a mother for her child.

it’s hard not to call it nepotism. The guy is literally his son! Would anyone else get that kind of pardon if they weren’t a family member. Fair point, but presidents do have the right to pardon anyone. It’s in the Constitution. Maybe he thought Hunter was unfairly targeted or that the charges were politically motivated.

There’s a difference between pardoning a political ally and pardoning your kid. It feels way more personal, like blurring the line between public service and family business.


People who are not the President's family members get presidential pardon so that is not the issue. I think it's an FU to the incoming Trump admin. Think of how much Trump and his cohorts vilified Hunter, then imagine how much more they will do with the office of the President behind them. This gets Hunter safely away while also sticking it to Trump and what he has used the presidential pardon to do in time past.

It's because they have to be.

Most African countries raise govt revenue from the resources they sell. Meanwhile most saner climes raise money from taxation of the rich and poor.

At the end of the day, people in saner climes are far more invested in good government than Africa.

I'm sure you definitely WILL.

Although Biden has said he would never pardon his son, I think he assumed Democrats will take over office until Trump won!

if you say "Biden has said he would never pardon his son" because he assumed Democrats will take over office until Trump won, how then is it not nepotism?

if you say "If you had presidential pardon powers, wouldn’t you use them for your family if they were in trouble", how then is it not nepotism?

Earthly father being wicked know how to give their son fish and meat. How much more our heavenly father. This resonate with me that God in His infinite mercy can't give up on us, even the most veil among men. However, If Hunter refuses this Pardon, is it then the father's fault that he is Judged? so also is any one who refuses salvation, such as accepted to be condemned.

Good morning people. Do have a fruitful week ahead.

If he didn't, I'm sure Trump would have

Even if Trump wanted to ( which I doubt), he would loose the support of his followers and he needs them for at least the next 2 years till the mid term.
If he wants a 3rd term,which he has openly joked about, then he will need their support for all 4 years.
Most Trump followers want to see Biden in jail to gloat at the party and the Democrats.

Re: President Biden Pardons His Son, Hunter Biden by maestroferddi: 8:32am On Dec 02
A red herring prosecution from day one..

Biden can talk all the BS he can muster but no-ones a PHD in rocket science to discern that the whole charade of prosecuting Hunter was to provide an alibi for launching unconscionable lawfare on Trump and weaponizing the DOJ to ensure that his political career was destroyed irreparably...

You are deliberately trying to be misleading Tax Master and contradictory too.

The only reason their leaders perform is because their revenues is from tax then went ahead to say if you misuse tax money, the people will xyz

Their system works because they have a robust system of checks and balances and strong people's and civil society vigilance and not just because their revenue is from taxation like your erroneously said.

So glad Biden did that, it would have been crazy for him not to have pardoned his son, especially with felon Don getting off for all his crimes.

I'm tired of democrats taking moral high ground when the other party is full of crooks

We all know every other President would have done the same thing.

Donald trump is going to pardon all the criminals and anarchists after his inauguration, so this is nothing
And Trump is the threat to democracy and a racist
Now Trump and Biden are one and the same in acts

This is the conclusion of the matter.
His calculation was, His VP Harris, will win but since it never turned out to be so, he quickly re-calibrated, hence the result we just saw.
