Not American, so forgive me if I don't understand the full context, but why is this more upsetting then when Trump pardoned a relative or when Clinton did it?
Biden specifically said he wouldn't and then he did, that simple. And everyone knew it was a lie then, so it's all just coming to fruition.
Politicians lie!?

So that's a dozen or so Biden lies compared to literally thousands of Trump lies... hmm
There's a lot of conservatives in here pretending they care.
It's not.
Democrats have always been held to a higher standard. So it's SUPER SHOCKING when they do something corrupt, even if it's minimal like this.
What you're seeing is a bunch of whiny bitches complaining about Democrats while Republicans get off scott free like always. It's the American way.
These are the same whiny bitches that voted 3rd party because they didn't like Biden's actions regarding Palestine, so they became single issue voters, and now Trump is our president because of it.
Because the Supreme Court essentially gave Biden to do whatever the hell he wanted and he would be able to do it legally unless congress got together and said it was not an official presidential act and this was up to and including killing political opponents, since it was what Trump's lawyers successfully argued.
And what he decided to do instead was use his already existing legal power to keep his son out of prison.
Edit: To clarify, I'm not suggesting he should have killed Trump. I'm saying he has the power to do whatever he wants essentially and this is what he decides to do.
Trump did this with his own family at the end of his term... didn't need any extra powers to do it.
That was my point. He could have done something big, but this is what he's decided to do instead, he's just proven himself to be totally self-serving.
