On the other, Hunter did break the law and should be held accountable, but on par with OTHERS who committed the same crimes.
What's the big to-do? The pardon power is in the Constitution. Certainly Trump used it at the end of his first term to pardon Jared Kushner's entire family. And the "blanket pardon" part was brought to you by the Republicans in the person of Gerald Ford.

Biden basically said "I'm old, my career and life are at an end, and I'm President. I have the power get my only son off the hook, so he's off the hook. Don't like it? Fuck you."

I'm just amused that the people screaming "tyranny!" were completely silent when Trump pardoned the Kushners.

In the end, the appearances aside, I am all for Biden pardoning his kid. It was - as MAGA often says - a "witch hunt".

Really the issue I had was appearances but... meh.

I thought the same thing. But man, it still is a ball of DC shit.

Anyone paying attention knew Hunter would be pardoned . He has the goods on Joe and other DNC operatives . Optics aside it would have sat better if they hadn’t spent the last year saying they would not pardon him.
