    He should have been doing it the whole time. He was just looking for exit kudos. Which is better than nothing I guess.

      Every president does this… Pardons are politically risky, so they wait until the end of their term and batch them.

        Yeah of course it is you Goblin. These are people. They’re not just numbers they are actual human lives. Waving away that they now have clemency is psychotic. Of course it’s better.

          Biden could have done this at any point in his presidency. He intentionally waited for it to be irrelevant.

          You and those like you are the precise reason that Trump is coming back into office.

              There is no point to you other than providing cover and apologetics to the failed politics of the Democratic party.

              Diffusing and providing excuses for the legitimate criticisms of their ability to govern to the needs of most Americans directly contributed to Trumps ascent into office for a second time.

                Your brain is so corrupted by politics that you’ve completely lost sight of the actual people who are the targets of these pardons and only seem to care about how it helps or hurts politicians

                  No, I simply understand how politics functions and when interests are or are not being represented. Clowns like the one I’m responding to have no ability to forward predict outcomes in time, so their analysis can be disregarded.

                  And more importantly, they, and those who argue similarly, are directly responsible for the outcomes we currently have. Specifically, the relationship between how Democrats are treated in online spaces and the media, and their inability or unwillingness to actually focus on and get shit done for people who would provide their votes to them.

                  It’s not even an argument anymore because I’ve been proven to be right by time. Y’all are simply slow to catch up. But the narrative of this section of history will show that fascism was enabled and emboldened, by slow walking coward Democrats, who found defenders in both media and in online spaces who were constantly willing to provide excuses for them. It’s the Blue No Matter Who/ Blue MAGA reactionaries who lost this election for us, and the above is a principal example.
