I think this actually hinders the release of the hostages, at least in the short term. Now Biden is disincentivized to achieve the release of the hostages because it will anyways be attributed to Trump

Who cares about Biden?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Unpopular opinion:
It's great that he pardoned his son.
That's what a decent father does. Even after he says he wouldn't.

But why did he say he wouldn't?

This is an important point. Who knows what other things he is trying to cover up.

To be devil's advocate, the purpose of a broad pardon can be to put a stop to the unending investigations which are a punishment unto themselves.

By removing Hunter's right to plead the 5th?

I don't think anyone actually thinks it was the wrong thing to do.
Even after he said he wouldn't.

Just he should've kept it about being a father, making it all about lawfare, when it was his DOJ doing just that against his opponent is about as hypocritical as you can be.

Easily could've just said, the right thing to do politically would be to not pardon, but some things are above politics...

conspiracy theory would say that the gun and tax convictions were a red herring to trigger the blanket pardon without having to go into other details

It's better for America.
It's one thing to live in a country where they persecute their political opponents.
It's a whole different thing where in order to justify persecuting political opponents, you make it an ideal to shecht your own son. (no one is above...)
I would say that's where the woke 'religion' was heading until the election slowed it down.

Feel free not to answer this question but here goes.
If your son robbed a bank and wants you to hide him, do you hide him or turn him in?

If your son did what Hunter did, and now years later, you have the option to either pardon him and help him move on, or, in order to LOOK impartial (you are not- your persecution of Trump was pure politics), allow the other side to do to your son what you did to Trump, what would you do?

Don't get all Jewish on me and answer my question with another question ;)

The reason why Hunter got into all this trouble in the first place is because he was never taught to be responsible for his own actions... Biden Sr. continues to make sure his son will never learn...

Letting him pay for his actions will help in the future not hurt him. Any good parent knows this.

What makes you think this helps Hunter move on?

There are very few people on the right who ever really thought he wouldn't pardon him. Most of those surprised are on the left because they actually bought what he was saying. The whole pardon question never had anything to do about Hunter anyhow but rather about Trump and that is why they are up in arms about it. We can just poke fun at the dumb game they played.
