In case you missed it, the biased lense for this was anti-Trump, pro-Biden, pro-Democrat. If you're confused why I'm writing all these biased articles, I'll reply to this comment with a linked explanation.

Overall, the lasting message of this article is that President Biden did the right thing and protected his son from a vengeful Trump.

How did I craft this narrative? Firstly, there was unobjective emotional characterization of the news, with descriptions of Biden as a "loving father".

I also made very sweeping assumptions about how the American people feel regarding the pardon with zero evidence provided. There were some pointed links back to Project 2025 and regular statements that Trump plans retribution (thus settling it as fact).

All in all, it was an enjoyable piece to write and I hope to read. Check out my other article on the Hunter Biden pardon for a very different take on events.

AN OPEN LETTER TO JOE BIDEN

Trump turned pardons into tools of corruption, shielding cronies, his family, and himself. Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter is a stand against the GOP's weaponization of justice and their disgusting proxy way against his presidency.

Hi Patrice, thanks for your comment. I read your open letter and I was really impressed, I felt like our two articles worked very well together in this case.

I've got an open letter I've been working on and I think it would be a great opportunity for the two of us to collaborate - I've sent you a message here on Substack if you're interested.

The correct response (to a metaphysical certainty) to MAGA complaints about Hunter Biden's pardon is a gigantic, Trump-sized, "FUCK YOU!"!!!

That's a point I definitely could have raised in this article and it's how much Trump pardoned his own "cronies and allies". Stinks of hypocricy and I think many Democrats agree with you Dashk - they're done playing by rules they feel are made for only one side.

Thanks. I just had to say it.

He must follow up with full pardons for the Jan 6 committee, and appoint Jack Smith as a Federal Judge and follow up with another one for Kamala Harris perhaps???, 😆😆👏. (MAGA would implode!).
