The president's son is currently standing trial on three felony gun charges that could carry a sentence of up to 25 years in jail if he is found guilty.

Asked if he would rule out issuing a pardon for his son, Biden replied, "yes."

Lol, yeah right! It's election season, but as soon as that's done, he'll pardon Hunter. He should've just admitted it though. Everybody knows he's lying

He won’t do it. He’s not Trump.

I don't see why he wouldn't do it. It's his son. trump has pardoned criminals waaaay worse who then went on to commit more of the same crimes they were pardoned for. He also gave medals to people who were wholly undeserving of said medals.

Hell now that trump is a convicted felon how about undoing the bullshit he did while in office. Take away the medals from those assholes who don't deserve it and throw the criminals he pardoned back in jail.

If he was a detective, wouldn't all his past cases be under scrutiny? Why is that not the same for a president? It should be put to higher standards than police work.

Uh huh...we'll see. He's already lied for him time and time again saying the laptop was Russian disinformation when he already knew that wasn't true and abused his power by getting Facebook and Twitter to block the story and suspend the New York Post's account in order to interfere in the last election but you don't think he would clear his son before leaving office?

I’ll take that bet if you’re willing to use an escrow service ;)

willing to bet?

Yeah, actually I'd bet my last dollar on it...you really think Biden wouldn't clear his own son before he left office? He's already lied for him over and over saying things like the laptop was Russian disinformation when they already knew that wasn't true

we'll keep it friendly. 50$ each. we'll use an escrow service. if Biden doesn't pardon him once he is no longer president, I win the cash. if he does you win.

agreeable?

I don't know how that would work. Whichever one loses would have to release the funds right?

what I'm hunting down right now would be a service where we both can set the terms.

example I submit 50+service fee $ to x service . if I'm wrong money goes to NoSuchAgency

you also submit a bet of 50 + service fee if your wrong money goes to me.

winner gets their og bet money + other half of the bet. edit making sure the bets are accurate
