Nice integrity, stupid. Biden pardons his son after vowing not to.

Are there any criteria at all?
In what way? The only criteria is you can’t pardon state crimes. Ford pardoned Nixon before he was even charged with anything. Biden didn’t even pardon his son for a specific crime, it’s literally any crime from 2014-2024 which i’m pretty sure includes things not known about at the time of the pardon. The only caveat with a pardon is it doesn’t clear your record and by accepting the pardon its an admission of guilt.

So it's not even corruption or anything, lol.
Bill Clinton pardoned his little brother who got a DUI. Jimmy Carter pardoned a kid toucher because he made hippy music. It is no doubt the most “corrupt” aspect of Presidential powers

I mean Trump pardoned Jared Kushners father who hired a prostitute to seduce his brother in law to blackmail him into not testifying at a trial.

I don't think it rises to the level corruption if it's not underhanded. The guy doesn't want his kid to get blacked raw in prison - is that a crime now?

The charges were relatively innocuous, albeit retarded, for the sentence they were throwing at him, something like up to 10 years. For tax bullshit and lying on a gun form. So its not even like Biden pardoned Hunter for crimes related to family money laundering or something.

Well you said a minute ago that it's a blanket pardon over a decade..

I don't know, Sue, the whole being able to take us to war without the consent of Congress thing seems more corrupt to me...

No because I was referring to most corrupt in terms of the actual powers or implied ones of the Presidency. His ability to wage war without Congress is obviously unconstitutional…except Congress essentially gave the President that power with a law they passed in the 70’s. So thats how you get continuous conflicts that are “wars” (but not really)

Doesn't make it any less unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court won't rule on it because they know it is, and they as well as the congresspeople and senators are in lockstep with the same corruption that wants it that way.
