Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the week with three crazy martinis: Biden’s pardon of Hunter hurting his library funding, the 2020 census unfairly aiding Democrats, and reports of Biden being urged to consider more pre-emptive pardons.

First, they discuss Democratic donors expressing outrage over President Biden pardoning his son, warning it could drastically impact contributions to Biden’s future presidential library. These same Democrats suggest Biden should temper his expectations for the size and scope of the library project. Meanwhile, Jim wonders what achievements Biden could even highlight from his presidency.

Next, they shake their heads as a new congressional report concludes the 2020 U.S. Census overcounted in several mostly blue states and undercounted in several mostly red states, meaning the Democrats have a slightly unfair advantage in the congressional map and the Electoral College. The numbers are further impacted because the Trump administration was barred from asking whether residents were citizens.

Finally, Jim and Greg are alarmed by reports that Biden aides are urging him to issue additional pre-emptive pardons for figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Adam Schiff. They debate the potential fallout and Jim even suggests a constitutional amendment might be necessary to prevent abuse of presidential pardon powers.
