Join me in the hushed rooms that the power elite slither into when they want to discuss grave and troubling matters like the good of the Party where we join the conspirators as they shake out their robes and rattles and breath the Secret Words and bow down before the Dark Alter and signal their allegiance to the powers below and tell that idiot Joe Biden that he must not use his power of the Pardon to spare his son the punishment his acts have earned and he must refrain from doing so for the Good of the Party!
I guess addled and mean spirited and angry as Hell Joe wasn't going to think about the good of the Party after their rooting and backstabbing destruction of his 50 years of dark loyalty to evil men and evil deeds and decided that the Party could go hang itself. He'd give them the rope.
