Pardon Me

 President Biden has pardoned his boy Elroy. There's a shocker. It's got Republicans jumping his case and even Dems are divided over it, as well they should be. It's not like every other prez hasn't pardoned people who shouldn't have been, but when people defend it by bringing that up, it still doesn't make it right. As we know, three rights make a left, but two wrongs don't make a right.

 To a large extent the Dems are upset because he lied. You mean a politician would lie? Nahhh. He said a few months back that he wouldn't pardon Hunter. I remember hearing that and calling bullshit. I'd have bet my drum kit he'd go back on his word. 

 It's not what you do, it's whom you know. It's how it is. There's a club, and we ain't in it. If you or I passed out with a crack pipe in our mouth, dropped off a laptop with questionable content to be fixed and then forgot about it, much less having deals with China, we'd never see the light of day again. Hunter's a free man. C'est la vie.

 What didn't help the situation in my opinion is Joe trying to defend his decision by talking about how they've been attacked by this and that group, and how Hunter has been sober, allegedly, for five years, and so on. That's great, but so what?

 That's classic victim mentality and pure deflection of the issue. For the record it's in the narcissist's handbook. It's childlike, and has absolutely nothing to do with the issues. I'd expect better from the prez, but as always what do I know?

 The thing I have an issue with is the foreign deal. What about all the things done in the name of national security? Does that not qualify? I might think there'd be a clause or something that would exempt things like that from being pardoned. What was on that laptop? I suppose it's classified. 

 Anyway, surprise surprise. It's how they roll. It's whom you know, Joe, and that's a fact, Jack.
