I can’t wait for crime to spike in Trump’s term and then have Biden blamed for it because of this.
Good! It was bullshit to just pardon his son. Everyone deserves a chance to escape this hellhole.
If they convict Luigi fast enough, Joe could do a outstanding move.
Luigi will almost certainly only face state level charges. The President can only pardon federal charges.
For state level charges, it would have to be the governor, right? Maybe the governor of NY could do him a solid.
He can pardon him now. It’s only the crime (or even alleged crime) that needs to have happened before the pardon. Consider Ford’s pardon of Nixon, which occurred before Tricky Dick was indicted.
Ah okay, then let’s go.
Stop Luigis Detention.
Don’t be delusional
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.
People have loved gladiatorial combat since time immemorial.
I mean look at the popularity of Pokemon even to this day. It’s basically baby’s first Mandingo fight. Even kids can see the appeal of sending creatures enslaved to you to fight each other :>
More likely pay-per-view torture to death.
Put health insurance executives in the ring and I’m on board.
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.
Sure
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.
Nepotism is fine because other people do it.
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.
