Is anyone sincerely surprised that Joe Biden lied when he said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter?
Lying is what Biden does. It’s his specialty. We joke about politicians lying, but when it comes to Joseph Robinette Biden, Usurper of the Presidency, it’s as natural as breathing.
Biden’s lies make a mighty long list. He only tells the truth by accident, and he usually regrets it afterward. What he’s sought in vain is that special technique that other politicians have mastered: the ability to not get caught. Perhaps it’s for the best that he lacks it.
This “presidency” has eclipsed all its predecessors for deceitfulness, spitefulness, and destructiveness. Perhaps that’s the only sort of mark Biden could make on history. All we have left to hope for is that he and his handlers don’t get us into a world war on their way out.

Funny how Sleepy Joe backdated the pardon to 2014, given that the gun charges stemmed from paperwork he committed perjury on (and pled guilty to) in 2018, isn’t it? Right up until you realize that Hunter was “appointed” to the board of the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, in 2014, making huge amounts of money, issuing threats over texts and e-mails, and cozying up to the CCP for a nice six-figure paycheck in 2017, with 10% held for “The Big Guy” (and I doubt they are talking about Bruce Banner’s alter ego). And of course the cocaine – Hunter’s drug of choice – was found at the White House (the most surveilled building on the planet, with not only cameras and microphones, but X-rays, metal detectors, atmospheric testing, the works) in July of ’23, but surprise, surprise, no one can figure out where it could possibly have come from!
One interesting thing about a Presidential Pardon – if the recipient truly feels as though he was actually innocent (as both Hunter and “The Big Guy” have often lied about), he is under no obligation to actually accept said Pardon (unlike immunity, which can be granted by Congress, or a commutation of sentence, which does not absolve the criminal, merely reduces the sentence imposed after trial), because, as the Supreme Court decided in Burdick v. The United States (1915), a pardon “carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it.”
