President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son from federal gun and tax crimes —and any other offenses over a nearly 11-year period — has drawn outrage from Republicans, while only a few Democrats have criticized the outgoing president for establishing a potential precedent for the incoming GOP administration.

    Wow, something Biden did drew blowback from Republicans? Imagine that!

    This is a non-story. Biden could declare that water is wet and would receive blowback. To Republicans, even an extremely moderate democrat can do nothing right simply because he’s a democrat.

    I’m not sure whether I agree with Biden pardoning his son, but I can certainly understand why he would do it. Beyond the fact that he’s a father who loves his son, he has nothing to lose at this point. Trump is going to destroy Biden’s legacy anyway.
