    Not a huge fan of Biden’s presidency, but it sounds like his commutations were based on whether society deemed them eligible for home release during covid. I’m assuming he didn’t individually look at all 1,500 other commutations. Unless I’m reading it wrong, society deemed her low risk and she has been out of prison since 2021.

    Definitely sloppy tho.

      No.

      A judge did

      And Biden is about to hand over 42 judicial seats to trump because he couldn’t even be bothered to nominate 30 of them

      They had the numbers a couple times because Republicans kept missing sessions. A month ago Schumer held a vote on one and everyone celebrated instead of asking why he didn’t do the other dozen that had nominations.

      Moderates by definition will never fight as hard as they can. They don’t want to win, they want a delicate balance which includes stopping their own party and helping the opposition.

      There’s like 1.2 million people in USA prisons. Why this group in particular?? Just do what every dem president does and release all the potheads without actually fixing the war on drugs problem

        Biden has never given a fuck about marijuana legalization

        He’s already put out blanket pardons for marijuana

      They literally set up parameters and pardoned everyone within those parameters. I’m sorry 2 errors got through, but 2 slips in 1500 is not bad

        Did 2 errors get through, or did 1498 people get released as plausible cover to slip in two favors? We’ll never know for sure, but judging Biden by the patterns of his other actions, he’s flatly unworthy of the benefit of the doubt.

            Jeff, do you honestly think Biden only does things with and for people he has “met?” Come on, Jeff.
