Subject: RE: BS: Let's talk about the US election
Meanwhile, the pundits are going round and round about the Hunter Biden pardon. There is some virtue signalling from a few Democrats who think Biden should have stuck with his pledge not to pardon his son, because "Democrats are better than this." Those same Democrats are delusional if they think Trump would have left Hunter alone after Joe leaves office. But Jon Stewart has simply suggested the timing was the problem.
Jon Stewart Thinks Biden Could Have Timed That Pardon Better
“Normally, you drop a controversial pardon like the way you buy porn at a gas station: in a flurry of other distracting purchases,” the “Late Night” host said.
“Thanksgiving! I knew it! Perhaps I can explain the way this pardon went down in my new one-man show, ‘Can You Get Hunter to Stop Looking at Me Like That?’” — JON STEWART

“He’s an 82-year-old man — he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life visiting his son in prison.” — JON STEWART

“Hypocrisy isn’t illegal, nor is it particularly unusual in politics. It’s not like he’s ever going to run again, so why not take care of your kid, even if you said you weren’t going to? I respect it. I don’t have a problem with it. The problem is, the rest of the Democrats made Biden’s pledge to not pardon Hunter the foundation of their defense of America.” — JON STEWART
