I don’t think Biden lied. I think he meant it when he said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter. Then something changed - and that is the part that worries me. What does Biden know is coming?

Maybe Biden saw that there would be no political ramifications for pardoning Hunter since he, Biden, will be out of office soon (with me wrapping my arms around his ankles screaming, "Don't go!")
What changed was Shitler nominating Trash Patel for the DOJ! A man that has spent years talking about going after his son. Know how devious and evil this incoming horde can be, Biden what he had to to protect his son! New facts leads to new positions! We all do it every day!
As a parent you can tell when it’s best to step in to save your child even when at some point earlier you didn’t want to. However the current circumstances reveals that saving your child life from someone this evil is worth the backlash of onlookers
To me, the election outcome seems to be the answer-he’s protecting his only living son from relapse and/or going to prison under The RapistFelon-elect’s admin. Hunter would be in grave danger, and not sent to a “club fed” prison. Go Joe! He should go scorched earth on his way out.
If he knows what's coming, there is a lot more he could do to safeguard American democracy than just pardon his son. What about protecting the rights of the rest of America from the looming fascist dictatorship? @joebidenpresident.bsky.social THIS IS NO TIME TO BRING MARSHMALLOWS TO A GUN FIGHT!
I feel the same way as you. I believe at the time his intentions were to not pardon Hunter. But with the election and the horrible choices for the incoming administration, Biden knew they would go after Hunter and thus changed his mind on it. I would have done the same if I was in his shoes.
He sees who’s being nominated by Trump and knows the “normal rules of law” won’t apply and the GOP will go after Hunter for anything and everything so he’s trying to get ahead of the 8-ball.
He didn’t lie, he simply changed his mind. Donald has a revenge agenda planned and hope to staff people capable of getting it done.
The democrats clutching their pearls are weak
He knows that a deranged, fascist-loving, vindictive, petty, malignant narcissist toddler is on his way, with all his meat-puppet DJT hires. If Kamala had won, he most likely WOULDN'T have pardoned Hunter.
Biden knows what we all know-Trump is a vicious, vengeful fuck who will not stop harassing his son.
Biden said he wouldn't pardon Hunter when he believed he or Harris would win the election & institutions would hold. But Trump/Patel means threat of continued selective prosecution was real.
If Harris had won, he wouldn't have pardoned Hunter. But Trump would have thrown Hunter into fed prison for some cooked-up reason. It was only right that he pardoned him.
My guess is that he figured Kamala would win and it would be a non-issue. Trump is a vindictive ass who's still smarting from losing to Biden and he'd do whatever he could to put Hunter in jail and keep him there.
Democracy dies when party loyalty trumps critical thinking
Self-serving establishment politicians rely on blind loyalty
Cults move society backward, not forward
Could be anything, no one knows exactly what. I'm sure if Kamala had won, he would not have felt the need to pardon Hunter. The orange menace and the nuts he is assembling could end any facsimile of justice in the US. That's what it looks like to me anyway.

I wish they’d focus more on “I know nothing about Project 2025.” 🤔
