I completely disagree with you. I don’t think Biden would have pardoned his son if Donald Trump hadn’t stated repeatedly that he is going to go after his opponents, everyone who spoke out negatively about him, filed charges against him, or said or did something he disagreed with. His constant comments on retribution must be a concern of everyone who hasn’t supported him. Biden didn’t blatant lie, he changed his mind based on the circumstances and I am glad he did. Donald Trump has shown his true colors and Biden decided that his son shouldn’t be continually punished because someone has promised retribution.

I agree with this. I think he was being sincere when he said that he wasn’t going to pardon his son. And then, it seems as though Trump and the far right have no issue with doing extreme things and doing illegal things, so why not protect those he fears will pay the price for their need for retribution. And also, when one side does not seem to play by the rules, why is the other side upheld to a different standard. I am not saying that they’re doing it, so why can’t we, but what I am saying is that, if one side seems to do things that are irrational and cause pain for others, then why wouldn’t the other do what’s needed to prepare for that.
