Joe Biden had to pardon Hunter because Donald Trump is bringing out the firing squads.
This passes for political analysis on CNN. I kid you not.
Of all the defenses of the Biden pardon I’ve heard, “because Trump firing squads” might be the most creative. pic.twitter.com/gxguP7GxFZ— Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) December 3, 2024
I am stupid enough not to understand the reasoning, I am afraid. It seems to me that if Donald Trump intended to put Hunter Biden (or anybody else) before a firing squad at will, no little piece of paper, no matter how pretty, would prevent the outcome.
For instance, here is the same commentator, Leigh McGowan, talking about how truth is so important in politics that censorship is necessary.

Apparently, imaginary Trump firing squads overturn this notion.
This is the same sort of Democrat logic that makes them believe that putting a «Gun Free Zone» outside a school will prevent school shootings. I don’t understand that logic either, but then again, I am not a Democrat.
Biden discussed pardoning his son w/ some of his closest aides at least since Hunter’s conviction in June, via NBC
Key line: “it was decided at the time that he would publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.” https://t.co/aSKWbi3kkV— Audrey Fahlberg (@AudreyFahlberg) December 2, 2024
I am a simple man, incapable of playing the kind of 4-D chess in which it is not a lie to say out loud that you will never pardon your son while behind closed doors discussing plans to do so. Democrats look at this and nod knowingly because they know what you and I don’t: words are flexible things. It is our fault that we thought the words Biden used meant what we thought they did.
Biden and the Democrats live in Critical Theory-land, where words shift meaning at will.
Come for me on @cnn nailing Biden & his WH staff for lying, stay for me finding the apparent bipartisan consensus that Joe Biden’s DoJ is corrupt & engages in selective prosecutions for political reasons. (I’m a uniter, not a divider).
