Hypothetical: If you were POTUS would you pardon your son?

[volinbham]

Now that Hunter is facing felony charges, speculation will turn to Joe and possible pardons.

If you were in this situation what would you do?

Tough call but if my policy message was to strengthen the system that my son violated I'd have to pass on the pardon. Even the commute would undermine the justice system.

I'm going with Neither but it's between that and commute.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Neither because I 100% didn't want a child in the first place.

I knew I should have added more options to the poll.

Also considered "smack his mother"

Pardon and then eat pie.

If I was as old and as close to the grave as Sloppy Joe is…. I would and give everyone the bird or a crotch grab after I did

If you answer "pardon" you probably shouldn't be a parent.

You shouldn’t give any parent advice.

 

[davethevol]

If I were the President, I would pardon, but that’s because pretty much all politicians are morally bankrupt and that would just be par for the course.

Sounds like someone who would excuse their kid's ****** behavior by use of their executive power.

You're like Joe!

I’m not afraid to deal with my kids problems. Obviously you’re too hung up on yourself to have kids.

If you don’t , you probably shouldn’t be running a criminal enterprise with 20 shell companies distributing funds to family members . If I was and potus hell yes I’d pardon that crackhead to keep him from spilling everything .

Ah, that's right. People who aren't parents *must* be inherently selfish.

That's such a dumb high horse to fall down from, even for you.

Not sure what point you're trying to make or why you're trying to make it.

I thought I laid it out . There’s more than if you chose pardon , you shouldn’t be a parent reason . That family has a closet full of skeletons and the weakest link right now ( believe it or not ) isn’t Joe applesauce , it’s the crackhead son that can blow them all up . He just about has to pardon him

You are absolutely correct here.

He's his SON. (and the smartest man he knows) Of course he'll pardon him. It's idiotic to think otherwise.

That in hindsight has got to be one of the cringiest things hes said , and I wonder how it makes everybody else he knows feel

 

[rekinhavoc]

Hunter is a cash cow. No way Joe wants him incarcerated.

Big Daddy Pimp Joe gotta have his ho on the street!

If I answer pardon will it undo my parenthood?

Actually, it could be argued having kids is selfish as most people want them for selfish reasons. I just liked the way it felt without a condom, 3 times apparently.

Ahhh, ye olde pull-out game.

Biden would hold up the wrong finger and then grab his own butt. Then probably wander around looking for a kid to sniff.

 

[LadyVolette]

I’d put him in a drug rehabilitation program in exchange for a lesser sentence.. not going to lie.. if it were my child.. which, Thank God, it isn’t Hunter is older than I am though, so it’s a really weird argument.. but I guess they are still your kids even when they are old and stupid and druggies

At the time I just wanted somebody I could tell to change the channel on the tv and answer the phone to see who it was .
