Now pardon everyone convicted of nonviolent marijuana charges.
He already did, IIRC. I may be mistaken.
You would be correct
If they convict Luigi fast enough, Joe could do a outstanding move.
What could Joe do for state/local crimes? He only has power to pardon federal crimes.
As much as I know Demos are better than Repubs, this is one of those areas where they are the same picture. Long live the ruling class!
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.
Is it a federal crime? Can’t pardon state/local crime
Ah okay, then let’s go.
Stop Luigis Detention.
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.
Hochul? Lol no.
I mean, I don’t think any US politician could do so without it being career suicide. I don’t know Hochul’s policies, but she probably didn’t get the governorship by being an anticapitalist.
Free Luigi!
If he’s booked, he’s pardonable.
Not by the president unless it’s federal crime
Don’t be delusional
Trump is looking into this delusionality thing.
I can’t wait for crime to spike in Trump’s term and then have Biden blamed for it because of this.
You don’t need to wait. You can just scroll down to the other comments right now! :D
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.
Put health insurance executives in the ring and I’m on board.
I was hoping Roberson would have gotten a reprieve. Bloodlust’s in Texas won’t listen to anything at all.
More likely pay-per-view torture to death.
So which bus did he take for the commute?
I thought we established this, he’s an Amtrak man, damnit!
He ubered
Good! It was bullshit to just pardon his son. Everyone deserves a chance to escape this hellhole.
Did you really think he would only pardon his son? It’s pretty customary for presidents to pardon a bunch at the end of their term.
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.
It’s meh, I’ll take it.
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
Why would that make this nothing? Please, show your work.
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.
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.
I don’t quite understand your response but maybe my sarcasm wasn’t understood? Otherwise I’m at a loss.
Yes it was lost, perhaps using /s is always best as sarcasm is harder to spot in text.
Man, I thought my statement was so ridiculous that no one could take it seriously. My bad.
Sadly there are some ridiculous people out here.
No hard feelings though. 😊
