President Joe Biden announced late Sunday that he is pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, who has faced federal prosecution for gun and tax-related charges. The move comes after multiple statements by the president along the campaign trail saying he would not do so if his son is convicted.

Not to mention his unwavering support of the Palestinian genocide

To the 7 or 8 Americans who give a shit, anyway. The vast majority of the country chalks it up to "people in the middle east killing each other like they always have and always will", and cynically consider everything that foreign or progressive people say about it to be insincere point-scoring.

That's an irrelevant point and I'm yet to see a single reason why he should have changed his stance on it. If you didn't vote Biden because of that issue then you are increasing Palestinian suffering.
