Well, folks, it’s official—President Joe Biden has taken his “no one is above the law” mantra and chucked it out the window faster than Hunter can misplace a laptop. On Sunday night, in a move that stunned even his staunchest critics, Joe pardoned his son Hunter Biden. You know, the same Hunter who’s been dragging the Biden family name through the mud with federal gun charges and a colorful history of tax evasion.
Let’s rewind for a moment to June, when Joe stood in front of the press, puffed his chest, and declared he’d “abide by the jury decision” and “not pardon” his son. It was all very noble-sounding, like something out of a made-for-TV drama. Fast forward to now, and that promise is as broken as the Biden administration’s border policies.
What makes this debacle even juicier is how Joe Biden has spent the last year hammering away at Donald Trump with his trusty “no one is above the law” catchphrase. Except now, apparently, that law comes with a Biden-sized loophole. If your last name is Biden, you’re not just above the law—you’re untouchable.
Even Elon Musk couldn’t resist pointing out the hypocrisy. The X (formerly Twitter) CEO gleefully shared a screenshot of Biden’s old “no one is above the law” tweet, now hilariously fact-checked by the platform’s Community Notes feature. The fact-check spells it out: by pardoning Hunter, not just for one crime but for a decade’s worth of potential and actual offenses, Joe has proven that some people are indeed above the law. Musk summed it up with the simple but savage caption, “Community Notes slays.”
Oh, Elon, never change.
Let’s Talk Hunter’s Greatest Hits
For those keeping score, Hunter was convicted back in June on three federal gun charges for possessing a firearm while addicted to illegal drugs. He later pleaded guilty to skimming $1.4 million in taxes from hardworking Americans—because who needs financial responsibility when you’ve got daddy in the Oval Office?
And yet, Joe’s defense of his son is dripping with self-pity. “Hunter was singled out only because he is my son,” Biden claimed in his pardon announcement. He even tried to justify Hunter’s crimes, saying most people in similar situations wouldn’t face criminal charges. Oh, really? Last time I checked, the average Joe—or Jose, for that matter—doesn’t get a free pass on lying on a gun form or skipping out on taxes.
But Joe wasn’t done playing the martyr. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me,” he whined, as though the American public is supposed to feel sorry for a family that’s been living the high life on shady foreign deals.
The Fallout
This pardon isn’t just a slap in the face to the justice system—it’s a gut punch to every American who still believes in fairness and accountability. By shielding Hunter, Joe Biden has solidified his legacy as a president who preaches one thing and practices another.
But don’t take my word for it—just ask Elon Musk or the thousands of Americans now flooding X with well-deserved outrage. It’s one thing to defend your family; it’s another to trample over the very principles you claim to uphold.
Joe Biden, take a bow. You’ve officially cemented your place in history—not as a unifier, not as a leader, but as a president who played by his own rules while lecturing the rest of us. And for that, all I can say is: so much for “no one is above the law.”
