Joe's pardon of Hunter makes me think POTUS is aware of the coming danger. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the pardons and not the end.

I think DeSantis would probably be okay as SecDef. He’s a jerk, but he’s not crazy. He’s a conventional guy; his problem as a GOP presidential candidate was that he couldn’t convincingly play a nut job on TV.
But it’s sad that the best we can hope for these days is “not crazy.”
