The recent pardon of Hunter Biden’s gun and tax charges has left conservatives seeing red, and for good reason. This was the very same Joe Biden who boldly proclaimed that he wouldn’t wield his presidential powers to show favoritism to family—a promise that now sounds about as credible as a politician’s campaign slogan. Those still holding onto the belief that the president could resist the urge to put his son above the law might also be wondering what happened to that long-dead belief in Santa Claus.
The swift timing of the pardon, issued right after Thanksgiving when most Americans were busy digesting turkey, as well as Joe’s hasty trip to Angola, only adds insult to injury. It’s almost as if he wanted to ensure that the news would be buried beneath holiday festivities. But the underlying issue goes even deeper than the optics. Joe Biden’s attempt at a noble stance is as transparent as it is ironic, especially when considering the scandalous implications tied to Hunter’s extensive business dealings abroad.
Biden’s claim that Hunter was targeted because he’s his son only raises eyebrows considering the avalanche of evidence that suggests otherwise. This isn’t about raw politics versus justice; it is about who gets to play by the rules—and in this case, it’s evident that the rules were rewritten the minute Daddy became President. The assertion that this pardon was about fairness and justice for the American people is a classic case of presidential doublespeak.
This pardon stretches well beyond mere tax and gun offenses and harkens all the way back to 2014 when Hunter sat on the board of Burisma—a notable company for anyone who keeps up with political scandals. With this expansive coverage, the door swings wide open for a multitude of potential legal concerns to remain untouched, particularly those that may implicate Joe himself. It raises a tantalizing question: could these actions actually provoke a legal backlash against the very man who signed the pardon?
Hunter might end up sending Poopypants to jail!

While the laws of the land may not have formed a clear pathway, one can’t help but chuckle at the thought of Hunter Biden taking the stand. If pardoned individuals can no longer invoke their Fifth Amendment rights, could Hunter end up scrambling to explain the family “business” dealings that he’s long shrouded in mystery? Rather than the cozy innocence painted by the Biden family portrait, this scenario threatens to unleash a Pandora’s box of revelations, possibly even leading to Joe’s own legal troubles.
The notion that Joe Biden’s overzealous parenting—where the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree—could lead to both father and son sitting in a cell together is indeed a spectacle to behold. Whether this results in a dent being made in the Biden family image or not, it certainly shakes the illusion of a well-meaning father merely trying to shield his son. Instead, it may very well illuminate a narrative of nepotism and encapsulated privilege that has become synonymous with the Biden legacy. As investigations loom on the horizon, the spotlight on the family’s dealings may finally shed light on just how deep the ties run, potentially leading to a dramatic retelling of political dynasties gone wrong.
