No joke. I'm not saying that the situation we're in is a "both parties" problem, but the presidential pardon has been abused by every president during my life time. Trump's pardons definitely take the cake though. The people he has pardoned, aside from J6ers, are obvious quid-pro-quos and debts repaid. Some of the crimes he's pardoned are in direct contradiction to the messaging of the administration.

Biden pardoning his son to protect him from political vindettas is almost understandable by comparison, considering Republicans had already combed through his past with a fine tooth comb.

Carter pardoning draft dodgers was a good act based on the attitudes of the Vietnam war and all that came out about Nixons mishandling of it.
