I am not mad about Biden pardoning his son, I am mad about him ONLY pardoning his son.

There are thousands of petitions that have been sitting on his desk for his whole term, he promised to end the federal death penalty, + all the crack v. powder folks still sitting in prison

Disappointing!

Yup. I don't care if President Biden pardons his son (and given Trump's . . . everything, I think the hand-wringing about the precedent he's setting is misplaced). But now it's time to pardon a LOT of other people's family members, starting with commuting all federal death sentences.
Hunter Biden pardoned. Okay, President Biden:

There are now 40 men on federal death row. You promised to end the death penalty but haven’t even issued a single clemency.

60 members of Congress are calling for it. When are their clemencies coming?
