    No shit?

    He collected kickbacks in exchange for sending kids to for profit jails. If anything, 17 1/2 years was too light a sentence - it should’ve been life withour parole. Let the motherfucker rot in one of those prisons himself - it’d serve him right.

      Yeah wtf is happening? Is Biden just trying to get every bad decision out of his system before leaving office?

        What do you think? This old bastard has been in politics since 1970 and has a lifelong history of corruption and cruelty that has been laundered by the Dem party and its unfortunate voters.

        Why not right? It’s his last term, and thanks to SCOTUS, anything he does right now is a free pass.

        I’m more shocked that people are shocked by Biden’s actions. He may be the lesser of two evils, but he’s still an evil.

        Biden has never been a good man. It was always a show. He’s a saint compared to Trump, that’s why he won.

        This is who he always was. Fuck every fucking Democrat who voted for him over better candidates like Bernie. Trump’s second term is 100% on your fucking shoulders.

      Biden never went on record saying that he wouldn’t pardon one of the cash for kids judges, he 100% said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter before he did.

      From what I understand, it was a blanket pardon for anyone who met certain criteria, and this judge just happened to meet them.

      Judge had been sent to home arrest as part of COVID efforts to depopulate the prisons of non -violent offenders.

      Biden gave a blanket paradon to many who had been on home arrest without incident since.

      I suspect there’s plenty of awful bastards in the mix who are only known by their local communities for their deeds. This judge isn’t well known outside PA and very few recognize the guys name on sight.

    During the election people aggressively shut down criticism of Biden and the Democrats, and that any 3rd party discussion was just a vote for Trump.

    This was and remains a crock of shit. Both sides of the US two party system are corrupt and irredeemable. When you vote Democrat you endorse this shit as much as when someone votes Republican endorses their shit. Even if they’re the lesser evil, they’re still an evil.

    90 million people didn’t vote in the US election. I don’t blame them when you see what the dems get up to. And in particular, fuck you Joe Biden.
