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.

Biden will be remembered as the president who let Trump win - ran when he shouldn't have, stepped down far too late, endorsed Harris immediately shutting down any attempt to find the best possible candidate. And now he's a major hypocrite.

All his achievements in Office will be overshadowed by this election. He will be a footnote in history, which will be the Trump story.

Not to mention his unwavering support of the Palestinian genocide

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.
