We've been waiting for this shoe to drop. ABC News reports this evening President Biden pardoned his son Hunter for, one supposes, any and all Federal crimes.
Biden and his spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre had both repeatedly promised that no pardon would be forthcoming. Those promises were worth no more than his vow to "bring us together."
Hardly anyone believed those promises and, once he decided not to run, the pardon was very nearly a sure thing. Now it has occurred. It is good to be the king, or the king's son (hat tip to Mel Brooks).
It is one of the last tacky acts of the failed Biden presidency.
