    Plot twist: Grandma is a furry and while wearing her wolf fursuit, she decided to social engineer Little Red Riding Hood into proper granddaughterliness by convincing LRRH that she [Grandma] is in fact a wolf and then donning an obvious Grandma disguise atop her wolf disguise

    [This is actually just the plot of Shakespeare’s As You Like It]





  • Who or what is going to stop them from doing that anyway? It’s not like the rule of law will mean anything with all 3 branches under Republican majority control. The enforced disappearance and extortion that you’re implying isn’t going to be averted by a measly pardon given by what will become the opposition party. Pardoning Hunter is not guaranteed to yield any material exemption for him with the guard changing, but it does represent to the public that Democrats consider those who are close to them to be exempt from the rule of law when the law is applicable. It’s both bad optics and likely futile. Biden pardoned him on the slim chance Hunter can navigate past double jeopardy or whatever new undoing of foundational legal precedent the Republicans decide to unleash out of (generally misplaced) vindictiveness.
