Good
Meh. These are people who were deemed too sick and old to be any kind of threat during the fucking Trump administration and released from prison back then because of the pandemic. These people should have all gotten pardons years ago, and it doesn’t do anything to alleviate or address all the suffering and human rights abuses being suffered by people who are actually in prisons.
These people should have all gotten pardons years ago
So you agree it is good.
Commutations, not pardons.
They’re still convicted felons, and we must assume deservedly so (I acknowledge some crimes are bullshit, eg marijuana charges).
They don’t particularly deserve pardons, they deserve humane sentences for their crimes – actual rehabilitation, mental health support, etc.
Why? Who?
Literally the very first paragraph of the story. The very first.
President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
Why? Because the president has arguably unlimited power to pardon federal crimes.
You had time to write a clown ass insult but not time to read the article? If you don’t want an answer, maybe don’t ask the question next time.
Others are advocating for Biden to commute the sentences of federal death row prisoners. His attorney general, Merrick Garland, paused federal executions. Biden had said on the campaign trail in 2020 that he wanted to end the death penalty but he never did, and now, with Trump coming back into office, it’s likely executions will resume. During his first term, Trump presided over an unprecedented number of federal executions, carried out during the height of the pandemic.
Yeah, well watch that not happen.
America’s bloodlust can never be satiated.
Trump will probably bring back gladiatorial combat as a Twitter video exclusive.
Good news. I was hoping to see that Leonard Peltier in there. Free Leonard Peltier!
This is nothing after pardoning his drug addict and tax evasion criminal son
Sure it’s not nothing to the people pardoned.
Edit: I am also wondering if you’re consistent with the people Trump pardoned or if you’re having double standards because it’s not your party. As I wouldn’t want ANY president pardoning family members, regardless of political leaning.
You won’t mind if I murder you then, considering other people commit murder.
To be clear, I am not threatening to murder this person, merely trying to point out that their comment is silly.
