Hunter Biden was convicted earlier this year on federal gun and tax charges.
The Wall Street Journal reports President Biden Pardons Son Hunter After Vowing Not To
President Biden on Sunday pardoned his son Hunter Biden, wiping away his criminal convictions on tax and gun charges despite saying earlier this year he wouldn’t grant such a reprieve.
Biden’s pardon came just weeks before his son was set to appear for sentencing hearings in Delaware and California, where he faced the potential of lengthy prison sentences.
In a statement, President Biden said it was clear his son had been “treated differently” by the Justice Department.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” he said. “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
The Big Lie
The big lie is so asinine and so hypocritical after the numerous lawfare stunts Democrats pulled on Trump that I am at a loss for more words other than thoroughly disgusting.
In edit, I thought of something else. The last four years has been nothing but lie after lie after lie from Biden.
He ran on a pledge to be a healer, a uniter, and a moderate. Lie, lie, lie.
He lied about his health and Kamala Harris lied to cover it it.
This is worse than any lie Trump ever told and it was for personal reasons.
Anyone who believed Biden would not pardon Hunter is not very bright. For 50+ years Biden has been a walking, talking nightmare for all that is good, right and decent. He had no intention of letting Hunter hang, not for one minute, ever.
Pay attention!
SPAM
Hunter gave up a $50,000 per month consulting job in Ukraine for his dad.
At least Joe did this much for him.
I forgot the /scarcasm tag.
Wait, what?
A politician who is a liar and a hypocrite?
Just now?
Never before?
Gawd save us from the realization!
The lesser of two evil is EVIL?!!!!
My president elect is EVIL, only less than another?
Oh, gee Whizz, what a relief, thought I had to endure evil straight up, calming down knowing he’s just lesser EVIL.
Gawd bless lesser evil, sheesh…
Sweet dreams comrades
Congressional Final Report: COVID Select Concludes 2-Year Investigation, Issues 500+ Page Final Report on Lessons Learned and the Path ForwardPublished by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on December 2, 2024
COVID-19 VACCINE: Contrary to what was promised, the COVID-19 vaccine did not stop the spread or transmission of the virus.
RUSHED COVID-19 VACCINE APPROVAL: The FDA rushed approval of the COVID-19 vaccine in order to meet the Biden Administration’s arbitrary mandate timeline. Two leading FDA scientists warned their colleagues about the dangers of rushing the vaccine approval process and the likelihood of adverse events. They were ignored, and days later, the Biden Administration mandated the vaccine.
VACCINE MANDATES: Vaccine mandates were not supported by science and caused more harm than good. The Biden Administration coerced healthy Americans into compliance with COVID-19 vaccine mandates that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and disregarded medical freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions of Americans without sufficient evidence to support their policy decisions.
NATURAL IMMUNITY: Public health officials engaged in a coordinated effort to ignore natural immunity — which is acquired through previous COVID-19 infection — when developing vaccine guidance and mandates.
VACCINE INJURY REPORTING SYSTEM: Vaccine injury reporting systems created confusion, failed to properly inform the American public about vaccine injuries, and deteriorated public trust in vaccine safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION: The government is failing to efficiently, fairly, and transparently adjudicate claims for the COVID-19 vaccine injured.

Thought experiment: ask yourself if Trump did this what would your reaction be?
Now, go look at whom Trump pardoned and why.
If you’re celebrating Trump’s pardons and bashing this one, you are the hypocrite.
If you’re bashing this act but were totally ok with Trump’s kids in the White House and benefiting massively financially, you are also a hypocrite.
I strongly disapprove of nearly all of Trump’s pardons and potential Jan 6 pardons.
Jan 6 pardons should only be to those not involving theft, destruction of property, or violence.
The whole pardon thing by both sides is sickening.
I do support pardons for Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, both genuine heroes.
Except that Trump never promised NOT TO pardon his supporters.
The pardon is understandable. The virtue-signaling lies are not.
I knew he would do it. I also think more family members will be pardoned. Doesn’t surprise me. I saw this stuff a lot in the military with officers related to high government officials never having to deploy to danger zones or even having to deploy. It’s how the world works.
The FBI and CIA could investigate Hunter’s business associates since they have not been pardoned YET.
Hunter Biden likes the hookers and the nose candy, that’s for sure. I wonder if he got this hedonist’s genetic streak from his father or his mother. Dad goes to church and prays regularly, so it must be mom’s doing.
Why would Hunter get on the board of a Ukrainian energy company if NOT a bid to influence his father? It makes no sense otherwise. You’re telling me a European energy company needs to find a politically connected U.S. citizen to fill its chairs? Preposterous. Absurd.
At least with Trump you know he’s rich and it’s harder to bribe him. Ah well. When you want to find out what’s going on, follow the money trail. It’s a universal aphorism.
You can read more of my writings by going to: dark . sport . blog … on the net.
Romney, Pelosi and Kerry kids involved, too.
And it was the continuation of such nonsense that you voted for, honey.
Trump was nicely restrained in his response, when he could have let the gates of hell open towards Sloppy Joe.
Loser kids are usually raised (or better yet not raised) by loser parents.
By virtue of his gross incompetence, poor leadership, and corrupt nature, Biden has placed the world at an elevated risk of nuclear war. There are three very-HOT (Defcon 1) regions because of Biden. China-Taiwan. Israel-Middle East, and Russia-Ukraine. He is also responsible for advancing the BRICS alliance, little different to the Axis powers of WW2.
It behooves every Biden supporter to be aware of their complicity in this. You are responsible. Your party and its sycophantic media has made fools of you, and in the process, largely vindicated Trump by its use of legal warfare. You have fallen into the same confirmation-bias trap of most liberals.
History will not treat Biden, the Democratic Party, and its voters well. Hopefully, it is a low point–things may improve if you learn from this election.
I wouldn’t limit it to Biden. The World Economic Forum is pushing Western Europe that same way, and is ahead by a few years, and Biden let them in 4 years ago to go ape-$h!t with their policies to destroy the West’s Culture.
Thanks for the lecture, Professor.
That’s all you got…not exactly a brilliant rebuttal….clown
https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/20/presidents-ranking-trump-biden-list
Trump dead last. Biden 14th. Turn the channel. FOX isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
The guardian…please….leftists destroying Europe ….my god biden has us verge ww3 and nuclear annihilation…flooded country 12 million illegal aliens….destroying workers with inflation….go back to racist joy Reid…
Reread. The Guardian didn’t do the survey. They just reported the story just like every other publication did…except FOX and Newsmax.
TexasTim65 nailed it earlier in comments. This is all about Ukraine and the backlash that is coming. Which of course could implicate many powerful people if it were to become public. It’s been washed and tidied.
Many lives have been lost.
Trump should pardon Joe Biden and afford him immunity; to support the republic and as an act of magnanimity towards a large swath of the electorate.
Then the FBI & DOJ should go after Hunter for offenses he was not pardoned for, viz., the illegal influence peddling the Biden crime family engaged in wantonly.
As to lying, even outside the realm of politics Joe’s confabulations about uncles in Papua New Guinea, visiting Mandela, driving trucks, and scores of others anecdotes is completely unpartisan and untainted proof he is a compulsive and inveterate liar.
Hunter would still arguably be protected, BUT
Maybe this works towards an investigation next year on the business dealings?
How can he take the 5th in front a committee, if he cannot be implicated in a crime?
Maybe it’s a good thing?
That’s a good point! I don’t believe he has any 5th amendment protection against testimony regarding any crimes for which he has immunity. He could also be prosecuted for refusing to testify or for perjury. A Joe Biden prosecutor couldn’t ask for a sweeter deal.
Joe’s pardon of his son exemplifies his corrupt character. These democrats are truly of a despicable and dishonest kind. They have to live with that, but I don’t think they care.
Politicians need a message. Fraud and corruption in government will NOT be tolerated. A public trial would be a great idea.
NOTE that Hunter was pardoned for ALL PAST CRIMES, and was based on BIden’s outright lies..
Whether Hunter can be brought to a civil trial is a different matter.
Hunter does not have immunity for crimes that are NOT Federal. States can go after Hunter. Joe Biden only has authority to pardon Federal crimes. All the states he lived in and didn’t pay income taxes.
Immunity from what?
Dr Jill Biden will drag her dementia-riddled hubbie over to a board of directors role (maybe Harvard? They’re cool with plagiarists) to draw a healthy check while he sucks down his jello and his night nurse wipes his behind.
So I’m Joe sitting in the Oval office. The US has just elected a convicted felon. The US has just elected an insurance fraudster and sexual abuser. Trump has praised Judge Cannon for dismissing the 40 criminal counts brought by special counsel Jack Smith related to Trump’s handling of classified materials after leaving the White House. Every attorney friend has told me this was an open and shut case. Low and behold, she was considered to be the next AG. She’s probably carrying his baby. Trump has said that on day one he would dismiss all cases against him. I’m sure old Joe thought to himself why should he play by the rules while the right doesn’t?
Cheating offers them no advantage when their opponent does it too. Toddler ethics.
You forgot about the part where Warren Harding smoked cigars, drank expensive liquor and was known to grab a side piece every now and then. It was one of the high points of the country’s history.
I wish I were President.
Screw your pronouns.
I am impressed by how closed your mind is, plus your stunning ability to shut out both logic and legal standards.’By the way, the legal criminal standard is ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ with the burden of proof on the government. Jack Smith also has a huge precedent problem with Biden, and with the Hur transcripts.
BTW, ‘The Nerd’, implies a thoughtful/intelligent person. You should consider a name change to ‘The Turd.’
I can think of an appropriate change from “Bunt”
You truly are a clueless moron
Reality hurts, doesn’t it?
Sounds like you believe everything the media and your “attorney friends” tell you. I’ll bet you probably still think Trump is an agent of the Russian government.
No, only what Fox tells me.
Wow, MAGA world clutching its pearls! We, on the other side, have to endure this type of hypocrisy and lies from Trump every day.
Yawn. More projection. It’s all you have left. Enjoy the next 4 years.
Trump loves you.
Blanket immunity retroactive for 10 years? If you’re defending that simply because you hate Trump then you aren’t even capable of understanding why you’re part of the problem.
My advice is to not have children.
Too late for me ….
I learned a long time ago not to trust anything Biden says. He is a serial liar. I didn’t believe him when he said he would not pardon his son because what loving father at the sunset of his life would not pardon his son?
“…what loving father at the sunset of his life would not pardon his son…”
A father with integrity?
It’s time to get down from that horse. Integrity? You have a crush on a man who has been accused of sexual battery by more than two dozen women. His own wife accused him of rape! That’s integrity? Give me a break.
Biden will go down as one of the worst Presidents of the United States. He couldn’t face also being the worst father in the US.
That spot has already been taken: https://www.axios.com/2024/02/19/presidents-survey-trump-ranks-last-biden-14th
It’s pretty rich watching the hair tearing and gnashing of teeth from the people that count this kind of BS as business as usual when their object of worship does it.
Bzzz, nothing Trump has done is even remotely equivocal. If you had read the whole thread you’d realize that. The differences were enumerated more than once. Don’t be lazy.
“equivocal”. ROFL!
Are you wanting a geometric proof?
tds stage 3.
We are seeing lawyers (not just Biden) lie routinely about just about everything.
Fun to come. When Trump nominees go up before the firing squad that calls itself the Senate, any of those jokers raising an objection on some moral issue is going down in Flames.
Thanks Joe for paving the way for Trump. Joey you just took out your own party and the Rino herd.
Thanks Mish 👍
I’m waiting for the Hollywood version… LMAO.
What’s next?
Biden steps down and Kamala pardons him?
Really not fair to knock someone for bending over backwards for their son. Most people would give their kid a kidney, why not a pardon?
You just don’t get it.
Booo hooo hoooo…..
Try reading Mish post again dear.
I’ve been looking at both sides of the issue, I think it depends on whether or not one thinks loyalty to family trumps loyalty to the world outside the family (pun intended).
Why lie? Why a 10 year blanket pardon? He never had to lie, he could’ve said he would think about it. He could have said he wasn’t sure. It would have looked bad regardless but the lying is too much as is the nature of the pardon itself. Trump needs to have DOJ investigate the whole criminal period and release the findings. I don’t care that he can’t be charged. The public deserves to know just how corrupt the entire Biden organization has been
A trumphumper worried about lies… pretty damn funny.
lol, you think Biden cares about anyone but himself? Wow, that’s remarkable.
Moronic
Giving a kidney is a supreme act of mercy/love. Pardoning your guilty-as-hell son reveals the absence of integrity.
“The big lie” refers to a technique where a lie is repeated endlessly to induce belief. Think “Weapons of mass destruction”. By contrast everyone knew Biden would pardon Hunter.
Who did not expect this. The sad part is the letter released as to why he did it. He makes a fool of himself with that letter.
None of you said boo about this:
https://apnews.com/article/trump-france-ambassador-charles-kushner-pardon-c3835be92b1fbd1dffcd05707cba9f52
“Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison — the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought.”
Trump pardoned him and made him ambassador to France.
You guys wanted lies and hypocrisy, and you got it. What are you whining about?
Jan 6th pardons coming. Don’t say boo. Don’t cry. Keep up the TDS
…and you’re ok with this?
Yes, the whole pardon system stinks.
Did Trump publicly say he would never pardon Kushner? Did he instruct the White House to also lie about not pardoning Kushner? Is Kushner his son? Your argument is fallacious or you’re just as limited as Biden
lol!
Make a citizens arrest like Gomer Pyle.
Who should be ambassador to France – Peter Sellers or Jerry Lewis?
Inspector Clousseau is the man for the job.
Did kushner’s pardon come with a 10 year retroactive blanket for any and all crimes?
Uncle Joe said Hunter Biden is the smartest man he knows.
Aw come on. Most everybody would do that for their child.
I have to admit I would.
If you abuse the powers of the presidency to save your child from the consequences of his actions, then you shouldn’t be president.
The House of Representatives need to overturn the impeachment charges against Trump just to set the record straight for history.
Merely a presidential pardon for one convicted man. Normal shit.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Certainly not the BIG LIE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Reminder: the BIG LIE convinced half the country that the 2020
election was rigged/stolen when Trump is the one who tried to steal it.
And in the process, King Chaos the Shit Talker cast dispersions on the electoral process, the FBI, the DOJ, all media & government institutions.
Did Biden burn it all down for himself? Or his son even?
Enjoy the Jan 6 pardons. Normal shit, ya know
Normal for treason.
Sorry your high ground has washed away forever. Enjoy hell.
Hell? I’m going to be laughing through 4 years of fascists in clown shoes.
I’m disgusted by this, too.
That said, it’s humorous to see people so upset at this but totally fine with supporting Trump through his felonies, his divisiveness, etc.
They haven’t had anything to cry about for a few days… they were getting desperate. Gonna be a long 4 years for them. Hard to stay a victim when your king crybaby gets elected.
It is ever thus with cultish morons.
They recognize the difference between criminal behavior and political persecution.
BAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHA! Stop! You’re killing me!
all of the crooks on the hill arrive as thousandaires and leave as millionaires
Remember Marc Rich? Hunter’s crimes pale in comparison to those of Marc Rich. Read about Rich on Wikipedia. He was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office. Presidential pardons make a mockery of the concept of liberty and justice for all.
Yes. Clinton very similar to Biden in terms of having no conscience
A liar and hypocrite requires a fully functioning mind, something Joe wearing diapers for pooping has not had for awhile while president in title only, as with Mr. Wilson of the defunct League Of Nations last year as president apparently. Funny how constitutional amendments are selectively enforced by the state they apply to.
You can’t pardon someone prior to any charges of a crime period, This is stupid
Actually it’s called an amnesty, as with Ford and Carter’s amnesties for Vietnam War draft dodgers that were never charged. Likewise for Ford’s pardon of Nixon covering Nixon’s period as president but never charged. And the statue of limitations start whether charges are filed or not. .
The way it’s worded is the problem. What happens when new charges are filed for drug dealing or child sex? What happens when he goes on a crime spree? lol again the way they are wording this joke is stupid.
The US has always been a banana republic with excellent marketing and, later, great wealth. Yet always a banana republic.
The marketing has gone way downhill recently.
Happens when DEI is priority. They need to go back to quality propaganda.
Trump needs to pardon every Jan 6er…..NO exceptions period.
Cry more.
It’s likely to happen. Enjoy the show.
About 140 law enforcement officers were injured. The mob of Trump supporters protesting his decisive 2020 election loss brutally attacked officers with many types of weapons, including flag poles, pipes, bats, bricks and pepper spray, a bipartisan said. One person, an Air Force veteran from the San Diego area, was killed amid the violence. Trump’s VP, Pence, could easily have been a death target. But I agree – pardon them all.
Is that any worse than what happened in Ukraine in 2014, when over 40 civilians were burned alive by protesters in one building alone? In a coup that overthrew democracy, with Joe Biden, Victoria “the Hutt” Nuland, Mitt Romney, John “Vietnam loser” McCain there to oversee the destruction of a democracy?
What? The Revolution of Dignity or Euromaidan, did not overthrow democracy but rather aimed to protect and strengthen it. The tragedy remains a contentious issue, with investigations criticized for not meeting European human rights standards. The event has been used in Russian media to justify actions against Ukraine, while many questions about the incident remain unanswered.
The entire Biden presidency has been one big fat lie.
Nobody should be surprised by this.
Times are a changing though.
PROMISES, as defined by Normal EARTHLINGS, means that you MEANT something by that statement of purpose.
PROMISES, as defined by NORMAL POLITICIANS, means that you NEVER MEAN something by a statement of purpose.
A grifting mob family.
What jumps to mind is this: it was recently reported the Nancy Pelosi has a net worth of nearly $250 Million…give or take $10 Million! THAT IS THE PUBLICLY ADMITTED NUMBER!
Do any of you REALLY BELIEVE that we CAN or WILL KNOW? I do not think so.
Then, step back in time and remember that they JAILED Martha Stewart over insider trading of $3982 shares. NO, two wrongs do not make a right, of course.
But, the utter contempt that these ABOVE-THE-LAW SHENANIGANS must be stopped!
OH! Wait just a minute there, Buster Naive! US SENATORS and ADMINISTRATION LEADERSHIP & OFFICIALS and GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOLKS never FRY for their sins.
THINK PFISER now. They could be caught injecting Horse Piss and then admit guilt and pay a fine.
IT IS RAMPANT, this corruption.
Imagine doing whatever you want, short of stabbing Biden in his LEFT EYE (play on words) and getting cleanly away.
Today, if Bonnie and Clyde were Pres. and First Chump, they would be allowed to continue their rampaging.
We are SUNK as a culture if and until ALL CITIZENS, despite their involvement with lying/cheating/stealing (OH, that is the FUNCTION OF POLITICIANS, right?) are finally strung up and/or jailed.
Anyone holding their breath?
The people who expected that Joe would be true to his word are the problem . They are delusional he has lied his whole life and the only way he wasn’t going to pardon him was if Harris won and she would do it for him . You can go way back on Biden when he was a senator a history of lie after lie .
Are you thinking of his earliest work as a plagiarist?
Yea, partly but he has repeated the lie his son was killed in the Iraq war dozens of times along with so many other examples I could take all day compiling a list and would not be close to completing it . He also voted against S&S increases based on the inflation rate when he was a senator .
“Say it ain’t so…”
“So, when history is written, Biden will be remembered as the most incompetent president in American history, and if Antony Blinken has his way, he may be the one remembered for World War III. So, in the scheme of things, he should just pardon Obama and all the Democrats. History will be concerned about war more than corruption.”
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/biden-pardons-his-son-conflict-of-interest/?
Jake Sullivan thinks of himself as a master strategist for restarting the U.S.-sponsored jihadi war in Syria. I still think he might be the Antichrist even though I never expected the Antichrist to be such a moron.
Since he was put into the Presidency as a figurehead by our version of the Praetorian Guard, it is not surprising that he would use the only power he really has to pardon a family member for corruption. After all it is not like he has a legacy to be proud of.
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my directions. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Hunter sent this message in 2017 to a Chinese person suspected of connections to their intelligence agencies, to shake him down for money.
A few weeks later Hunter Biden received a $5 million wire from a Chinese firm.
The 46th President of the United States just pardoned his son for his crimes, to end the investigation of his own crimes
These quotes from Sun Tzu describe the Biden administration with eerie accuracy, and provide insight into China’s strategy to take back Taiwan:
“When the leader is morally weak and his discipline not strict, when his instructions and guidance are not enlightened, when there are no consistent rules, neighboring rulers will take advantage of this.”
“The opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.”
“All wars are won or lost before they are ever fought.”
“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
This should be carved in stone, under a statue of the Bidens, for posterity, so that whatever administrative processes they enact to slither away from accountability, that history remembers them accurately for what they are.
I will correct your statement this way, Rinky. I like your basic idea, and here we go:
“This should be carved in stone, under a GALLOWS for the Bidens, for posterity, so that the executions prevent them AND OTHERS from CONTINUING TO slither away from accountability, AND that history remembers them accurately for what they WERE.
We want this done by Jan 20th or earlier!”
Meh… it was hardly unexpected that he would pardon his son once Kameltoes lost. Had the word salad won there was likely a deal that she would pardon Hunter so that technically it wouldn’t be a pardon from the Pedo father.
Lots more pardons to be issued to insiders before the handover. Also lots of documents to be shredded, hard drives smashed and digital records bleached.Just hope they miss some stuff and also that by destroying records they commit offences that get them facing charges, making plea deals and turn states evidence to take down a bunch of higher up insiders.
It is a sad reality, ain’t it?
Just doing the jobs Americans won’t do –
https://sonar21.com/venezuelan-gang-seizes-san-antonio-apartment-complex/
Puzzle to me why anyone expected a different outcome.
What will matter is if any of the inner city dwellers might have a different take on Dem party going forward. Having just been played one more time, perhaps this will prove out that proverbial one too many.
