Sorry, Biden's Pardons Are Much Worse Than Trump's

On inauguration day, President Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of the approximately 1,550 defendants convicted for their involvement with the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. He also ordered DOJ to dismiss all other pending indictments. Most of them, about 900, were for non-violent misdemeanors such as trespass and disorderly conduct. He granted the clemency all at once, and did not begin with pardoning the non-violent misdemeanor defendants first and then examining the remaining defendants on a case-by-case basis as he and others previously had suggested. Meanwhile, on the very same day, just 15 minutes before he left office, President Biden issued the last set of his own pardons. He granted them to members of his family, most notably his brothers, sister, and in-laws, as well as to members of his administration such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley, and even to political supporters like the congressional January 6 committee members

Biden did the right thing.

Donald is at war with his own people, and we the people need protection.

6500 of the pardons were for pot possession... so his number of other individual pardons is similar to the last few Presidents, and less than some others.

Of course, Jimmah gave out 200,000 pardons for 'Nam draft evasions alone.

He's a misogynist. His ex left him for a 5'4" 250 pound trailer park dweller with 2 teeth and a 5" dong and a mullet. His life is nothing but constant emasculation and now he's an incel who has the means but is too cheap to employ a hooker. Of course he hates women. His misogyny is why he wants to force women to compete against men and have men invade women only since aces without consent.

Come on cunt, defend your hatred of these "women" who don't meet your ideal of a woman?

#23 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-01-22 08:37 PM

Jeff I have owned you for years. You're a pathetic lying troll. Everyone knows it. NO ONE respects you.

You post something EVERYONE immediately considers it a lie, an obfuscation or a trolling.

You're not a good person jeff. You seriously need mental health and a clinic or two on basic ethics.

You won't ever self reflect, because you are a rotten person, devoid of empathy, devoid of integrity, and devoid of common decency.

You are truly a shitty despicable human being.

Sorry to complain about the headline, but why is the author of the article "Sorry"?

(Yeah, I know it's probably because some algorithm decided including that would get more clicks for some reason, but it's still annoying AF, just like using hyperbole like "destroyed" and "trolled", or adding a first-person comment to the headline, and I can't decide if this is a Millennial or Gen-Z thing... shoot, I just did it, no wait, don't shoot!)

#26 | Posted by sentinel at 2025-01-22 08:45 PM

Twoothy,

You should consider counseling. Your life has been nonstop emasculation to the nth degree. FFS you were bullied by the nerds when you were a kid. Your ex is much happier with Mr Trailerpark with a 5" dong than she ever was with you. If your daughter were to get pregnant you'd most likely spike her drink with abortifacients without her knowledge or consent. You take zero responsibility for the problems you face in life.

Over the course of 6 years you've had one date from your Tindr app. After a half hour she told you she needed to go and take a dump and you smiled. She then found your waitress, ordered a bottle of wine to go and stiffed you with the tab.

Instead of lashing out against others with all of that emasculated anger you should look inward and figure out how to be a better person.

Hey cunt answer me this

Why should I show the least respect to people that voted for or defend an unrepentant rapist?

I have tried various strategies over the years to reach them; all for nought

I have made it perfectly clear. I hold every one of them personally responsible for the harm inflicted on my loved ones by this rapist they elected

I learned by kindergarten not to support a rapist

He likely did, but in cults those learned lessons are replaced by the Big Daddy taking responsibility for any evil the follower does.

After WWII, a famous psychology experiment into why the Nazi guards would follow any horror show instructions given them to harm other people showed that as long as there was an Authority... someone above them in rank that Approved of gassing Jews, they would gas the Jews.

So when DJT makes violent, criminal Insurrection OK, then his cult can overlook such a minor faux paus as supporting a criminal rapist traitor.

It's all very convenient and quite efficient don't 'cha know.
