Poof!

Family ties can be strong. Joe Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter is evidence of this.

He’s taking a hit politically, in part because he went back on his earlier word. But I think I understand the motivation. Partisan politics and the specter of Vengeful Trump were looming large, and Joe was being proactive, heading off the real possibility that his son might have been in for a rough road once Trump is in office.

You know—because Job 1A for Trump is exacting revenge on all the people who he thinks have done him wrong over the years (yup… instead of working on constructive legislation and acting like a grown up).

Biden’s “legacy” will be tarnished somehow. But does anyone really think he cares about that? We spend way too much time thinking about our legacy, anyway. We tend to take our insecurities and neediness to the grave.
