Indefensible.
Okay, Hunter Biden, I could understand. This one makes no sense unless you’re an asshole.
Can we maybe pardon marajuana possession charges or something good for people? No? Just the rich assholes who did ‘white collar crime’? Okay. What a place. Love it here!
Biden already pardoned people convicted for simple possession of marijuana back in Oct 2022.
And in December 2023, expanded that for the offenses of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana, regardless of whether they had been charged with or prosecuted for the offenses on or before that date.
Excellent! Some progress! I want us to keep that up then!
He already did pardon all the federal marijuana possession charges months ago.
They aren’t looking for answers, just outrage.
no he did not
he pardoned enough people that other people like you instantly placed him on sainthood status level ignoring the fact it was only a drop in the bucket and that Biden helped craft the laws that got people locked up to begin with
fuck Biden and the horse he rode in too
When exactly did I call him a saint?
You said he did something good. You can’t do that because politics is now a team sport. You can’t praise another team!!!
They didn’t even say he did something good, they stated the basic fact that he pardoned everyone with federal marijuana possession charges. It was not even a value judgement, just a factual statement.
Yes he literally did.

Why do you feel this constant need to deny reality when it doesn’t agree with your opinion of a person?
Well that’s pretty good!
Full-on mask off, now. Owner class protecting owner class, nothing to see here. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move along.
Give him a break, all he did was torture children for money
So this looks like a case of local officials letting these people out of jail and to house arrest when clearly they shouldn’t be. It’s the same as some welfare recipients abuse the system, but should we end welfare for all. No. These two slipped through. But plenty more who deserved the pardon got it.
I get that there were 1500 of them, but pardons/commutations should get a closer look than this.
So, they were non-violent offenders on house arrest, presumably all of these people were following the terms of their conviction.
That said, whoever compiled the list should have raised a flag on the ones that had many many victims.
I thing that’s the issue, there is no way that the kids-for-cash judge did not cause harm to thousands of children. While he may not have used violence, he certainly caused it and harmed literal children.
We as a society need to really think more critically about what counts as violent crime. Ordering some to juvi/prison for money is violent in my books.
Safest place for that guy was being locked up. given what happened recently, does brandon want to see real justice sooner?
Bad move. He was under house arrest until 2026, probably just another year and a half.
