The overwhelmng outpour of support for Kamala Harris has given me a sense of optimism. Joyful optimism. I feel we can do this. Joe Biden could pardon Hunter: I do not think he will do it. Trump would pardon Hannibal Lecter if he was real! Maybe Kamala Harris will be able to get him behind bars. Then I will have no more dreams I wish would come true. Thank you Manuel, for bringing joy and hope to the forefront. 💜💜💜

I do not think she will or that she shoudl. Let the Justice Department do their job!

I agree, Verónica. Pardons fail to recognize damage done and amends made. I believe that pardons should not be used. Stays of execution allow for hidden facts and truth to emerge.

I can imagine that was a painful decision for Biden. He was so determined and yet he listened to the concerns of others. I wish him the best in his next incarnation. I don't think he is going to go out to pasture. Think Jimmy Carter.

Another uplifting article. I agree with your viewpoint but am also drawn to the "Emperor has no clothes" story. Getting old is not a surprise and others should have been discussing this point with him earlier. If they did discuss the point then this is a topic for future discussion. Sorry to be a somewhat downer. The good news is there is a solid path forward now.

Gracie, I think that he nobly retired from the race in favor of a win for party and nation.
