No wonder @LafayetteBear and his ilk won't come here any longer. Evidently they are humiliated.
Life is soooooo good.

If Joe Biden intends to humiliate every last one of his supporters before he leaves office, he is well on his way to achieving that goal.
Mostly out of sight while President-elect Trump dominates the spotlight, Biden has decided to resurface inconveniently to destroy Democrats’ claims of moral superiority by pardoning his dissolute son along with a raft of fraudsters and corrupt public officials.
Biden’s mass clemency, combined with the ridiculously broad get-out-of-jail-no-matter-what card for son Hunter, is an outrage in and of itself. But the fallout from his irresponsible behavior will forever taint the Biden-Harris Cabinet. Hatred for Trump didn’t just unite the fractious Democratic Party, it created a toxic blind loyalty to Biden. Now, after four years of defending anything and everything Biden (which absurdly continues), that loyalty is going to bite.
What makes Biden’s mass clemency especially outrageous is that many of the beneficiaries are fraudsters who likely will never make restitution to their victims or to taxpayers. Among Biden’s greatest (or sleaziest) hits are commutation for Rita Crundwell, perpetrator of the largest municipal embezzlement scheme in American history; Meera Sachdeva, who bilked Medicare for millions by shorting her patients’ chemotherapy drugs; and Gregory Podlucky, who defrauded investors of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Worst of all, Biden commuted the sentence of disgraced Pennsylvania judge Michael Conahan, who, along with a co-conspirator, accepted millions in bribes to sentence more than 2,000 children to a for-profit juvenile detention facility. The damage he did to those young people and their families was (and is) extraordinary, including drug addiction and even suicide.
