President Joe Biden previously had pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who had been convicted in a criminal gun case and pleaded guilty in a tax case.

No further info in the article as it’s breaking news. NBC broke into the inauguration to announce it.

Biden pardoned his entire family and their spouses as Trump directly threatened all of them.

      Rigged, no, Stolen, also no.

      Results shifted due to successful propaganda from foreign countries and billionaires, yes.

      This is the downside of Democracy, people are pretty dumb overall.

        I don’t understand the enormous resistance to the extremely simple idea that obviously evil people obviously and literally rigged an election by literally adding new fake votes, a method so obvious and literal and with such pedigree and history that it has a name, which is ballot stuffing.

          Ballot stuffing is pretty easy to detect statistically, and there hasn’t been any evidence of it happening and definitely not at the scale required to affect the election results.
