OF COURSE Joe Biden Was Right to Pardon His Son
Briefly

The idea that the 'rule of law' is somehow undermined by this ordinary use of the extraordinary presidential pardon power is simply nuts. After all, we just elected a convicted felon. This perspective shows a disconnect from reality where the outrage over Biden’s pardon seems to ignore the context in which we are operating; it is still staggering how some pundits cling to outdated norms in this chaotic political landscape.
The premise that pardoning one's family is inherently corrupt assumes a moral high ground that simply doesn't exist when it comes to political strategy. By demanding that Democrats uphold standards while alone, these critics betray a misunderstanding of the current political landscape where such rules have long been discarded. It's a relic of a bygone era that no longer applies in today's reality.
