The worst part of the Hunter scandal was the clear sign all of the mainstream media I counted on have bended the knee to Trump. ABC, CNN, NYT, and WaPo all ran damning headlines, drawing equivalency between the crimes of Hunter Biden (not an elected official, crimes which rarely result in criminal charges) and Trump (an elected official -- too many crimes to list, all of which jeopardized national security). Look at today's scrolls -- all four sites position Trump as a strong and bold man (and if they criticize a cabinet pick, it's all about the pick and not about Trump). This leaves me with The Banter, Salty Politics, Heather Cox Richardson, and with any hope, what becomes of MSNBC, in terms of reliable news sources. With the media gone, we'll likely rarely appreciate the full scope of Trump's dismantling of law enforcement, air/water/food/drug protection, the mortgage industry, and more. He's threatening to replace the gold standard with bitcoin, perhaps even doing away with the US Dollar. I have no idea how any of us are going to survive 2025.

"President Biden did what any father would have done under those circumstances, and given it was entirely legal, no one should be complaining about it."

More, he did what any President should have done in those circumstances: stood of for justice against a gross miscarriage of it.

It was blatantly obvious that the charges against Hunter Biden were driven by purely political motives. Stepping in to pardon him and right that kind of wrong is exactly what someone sworn to uphold the laws of the US should do.
