As recently as November 8, days after Donald Trump’s victory, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rubbished a pardon or clemency for President Biden’s son, Hunter. She said – “We’ve been asked that question multiple times. Our answer stands, which is no”. In June, at the G7 summit in Italy, Joe Biden personally said – “I said I’d abide by the jury decision, and I will do that. And I will not pardon him.”
Of course, we were about to see the grand display of lies, hypocrisy, abuse of power and whatnot of the United States of American on December 1, 2024 when Joe Biden made a spectacular U-turn and shamelessly pardoned his son – just days before he was due to be sentenced for his conviction of three felonies on federal gun charges on December 12, which could see him slap up to 25 years in prison.
But that was not the only crime Hunter had committed. He pleaded guilty to nine counts of federal tax fraud (failing to pay his taxes on time from 2016 to 2019, as well as two felony counts of filing a false return and an additional felony count of tax evasion) on September 5, which could see the son of the U.S. president facing up to 17 years in prison.
Together, Hunter Biden faces a maximum prison sentence of 42 years for the 12 counts he is convicted of or has pleaded guilty. However, the maximum sentences are not expected to be given out for convictions of these crimes. The Justice Department has said that while the tax charges carry a maximum sentence of 17 years, sentences are typically less than that.
To justify his abuse of power, the POTUS has offered an excuse – “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics have infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”
Essentially, in a reversal that has made the U.S. a laughing stock, the president used his executive authority to issue a “full and unconditional pardon” for any offenses Hunter Biden has “committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” Blaming his political opponents for trying to “break” him by going after Hunter was both lame and laughable.
While it’s understandable that as a father there was no way the president would do nothing to save his son, he should not practice hypocrisy by saying one thing, but does another thing altogether as recent as June, when Hunter was convicted. Even as of last week, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates had denied when asked whether the president is still committed to not granting clemency for his son.
Worse, even First Lady Jill Biden has lied through her teeth when she said her husband would not pardon their son. “Joe and I both respect the judicial system, and that’s the bottom line,” – she said in an interview in June. The entire family lied because Sleepy Joe, who was campaigning for re-election, will definitely lose if the secret plan to pardon Hunter was revealed.
Accusing the president of lying about everything, Representative James Comer, chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said – “Joe Biden has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities. Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden.”
For years, Republicans have attacked Hunter over his dubious foreign business dealings and accused him and the president of working hand-in-glove in corruption. They have also argued that Hunter was getting special treatment by the Justice Department because of his father’s political power. Eventually, he pleaded guilty in a deal with federal prosecutors over the tax and gun charges.
The junior Biden got into trouble when Joseph Ziegler, an IRS case agent who became a whistleblower in the Hunter Biden tax probe, told NBC News last year that he opened the investigation himself after seeing bank records that suggested Hunter Biden was paying prostitutes and spending lavishly out of a corporate bank account. Ziegler said it was not about politics as he is a gay man and is a Democrat.
In fact, not only the U.S. president told reporters he would abide by the jury’s decision, but the Commander-in-Chief also said – “I’m extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know, and I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything. I said I abide by the jury decision. I will do that, and I will not pardon him.”
With the specially crafted pardon explicitly grants clemency to Hunter Biden’s crimes committed “from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024”, it means his entire tenure on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma and much of his other overseas work, including in China, will be swept under the carpet. Crucially, President Biden was contradicting himself.
On one hand, he claims to believe in the justice system. Yet, on other hand, he accused the same justice system to be infected, which could lead to miscarriage of justice. Can he make up his mind whether he has faith in the U.S. justice system or not? If his son was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” from the beginning, it means the justice system is corrupted and cannot be trusted.
Therefore, the American justice system is either clean (which means President Biden has abused his power by pardoning his crooked son) or corrupted (which means the justice system is broken, untrustworthy and an insult to the U.S.) – just pick one. Joe Biden can’t claim Hunter was “singled out” when his son had already pleaded guilty in September to nine tax offenses.
It’s not rocket science that Hunter was not only a druggie, but also a criminal for evading US$1.4 million in taxes while spending lavishly on escorts, strippers, alcohol and cars, not to mention in possession of a gun. In truth, the president wanted to erase the humiliation that Hunter would become the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted of a crime.
True, this is not the first time a U.S. president has pardoned a member of their family, which has tainted the country known as a beacon of hope. Bill Clinton pardoned his younger half-brother, Roger Clinton, for a 1985 cocaine-related offence in 2001. In 2020, Donald Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, the father-in-law of his daughter Ivanka. But just because others had done it, does not mean Biden must abuse his power too.
More importantly, a president has never pardoned his own son before – until now. Besides, it is “highly unusual” for a president to pardon someone before they are sentenced for a federal offence. Yes, it was Biden who told all and sundry in June that he was “satisfied” that his son had received a fair trial, only for him to change his story after Thanksgiving on Sunday that Hunter had been the subject of “a miscarriage of justice”.
During the election, the Democrats presented themselves as the guardians of morality, with Biden praising Kamala Harris for having the “moral compass of a saint”. Now, with the election over and Harris lost to Trump, Joe Biden’s promise six months ago not to interfere in the justice system has been thrown out of the window at lightning speed. The U.S. hypocrisy is simply breathtaking.

The moral of the story is not about any moral. It is about the sheer lack of any moral at all. It is about the moronic Yankistani political system and the criminals and rogues it serves.
We, too, are naturally blessed with being mostly genetically moral-free, a moral, and being extra-thick morons who are moral-blind and generally ignorant and blissfully allergic to any moral. The ones mostly blessed with being morally shafted in the backsides are of course our politicians.
Naturally we’ll look to having the same blessed system as Yankistan, a politician blessing his own family member or members with a pardon or two. Not to say we don’t already have such a system, our “elites” pardon each other all the time, give hefty discounts to prison sentences, reduce penalties and fines, and generally look the other way when there are crimes and sins. And bury their heads in the sand.
Such privileges as the “elites” award each other are however not available to the common folks. You get to serve your sentences, pay fines and get punished to the full extent. There are no “I help you, you help me” vouchers and free gifts given to the common folks. Even when they have not piles of money and assets to get their “get out of jail” cards.
It is always tough titties for one bunch of people and always all sorts of way out for another.
If the president of Yankistan can pardon his own son for a bunch of serious crimes like justice, moral, freedom, democracy, etc in the shining city on the top of the hill, surely Bolehland can learn from and copy the example of the great US of A. Who wants a system that scares with promises you’ll get horribly punished in your afterlife, or, worse still, you get dispatched with two bullets in your head that your loving family has to pay for? Not to forget the whole range of other very unattractive punishments if you don’t get the first lorry to the execution ground.
Of course Bolehland is an almost civilised jungleland where you don’t get all that much excitement than women getting their bums whacked for being adventurous in their sex lives like their pervert menfolks and pious clerics. The money for the bullets are more than likely already stolen by the politicians.
Son of Holy Joe is definitely one mentally sick pervert, just look at those photos unearthed of the kinds of things he got up to when he wasn’t busy working as an energy executive in Ukraine. It is quite likely we may have such offsprings as Son of Holy Joe in our own creative and adventurous environment. We would definitely have good use for the JB Pardons. Such pardons should be commodities like our crap titles like datuks, tan sris, etc to be bought and sold by enterprising folks in our back alleys, kopitiams, and maybe Disneyland palaces.
Obviously, getting someone like Son of Holy Joe strung up would be great fun and Pelosi would call that a beautiful sight to behold. Yankistan has lost the art of public lynching, bringing that back even when they may not go smoothly, would still be of good use. I’ll bet, in his heart, Creepy Joe actually wants to strangle Holy Son to death for making the contents of his laptops known the world over, Joe never ceases to tell you how “intelligent” his Holy Son is. I’m sure there are plenty of such “intelligent” children of politicians in Bolehland. Our creative can think of interesting punishments like whacking a victim with golf clubs or bundling the victim in a car and punching his head from the window, that only costs rm1,000 a go, discount for the wrong arm of the law…
All in all, pardons are the way to go, in this respect, we’re already ahead, our “elites” have been dispensing them to the wrong rogues and criminals left right and center already. Maybe it should be us with the divine mission to teach other lesser beings about pardons.
Those holier-than-thou who may not find my humble suggestions attractive should be remind themselves pardons have always been granted, bought, and sold, since long ago. It was Martin Luther who got pissed off with the Pope who ran a lucrative business selling pardons. There’s nothing about the business of pardons we can’t or shouldn’t get into, there’s a business we can certainly thrive in, Alhamdullilah!
Still, all ye saints of the Moral Kingdom, all is not over yet. The media will now dig out more holy shiite for Holy Joe to wallow in. And there’s plenty of opportunities for Holy Son to land himself in more shiite!
