people who insist Biden will pardon Hunter after specifically ruling it out are telling on themselves
they can't imagine someone acting on principle and keeping his word
Community note
President Biden did pardon his son Hunter, with a blanket pardon covering nearly 11 years of potential federal crimes, as President Biden’s term neared its conclusion.

Happy World Philosophy Day!
ALT Marcus Aurelius 121 A.D. - 180 A.D. |2.11 When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they cannot tell good from evil.
