Good.
You opposed to this mass pardoning? Seems at first glance it’s quite reasonable of him to pardon people for non violent crimes who’ve turned their lives around. For example:
Those pardoned Thursday had been convicted of nonviolent crimes such as drug offences and turned their lives around, White House lawyers said. They include a woman who led emergency response teams during natural disasters; a church deacon who has worked as an addiction counsellor and youth counsellor; a doctoral student in molecular biosciences; and a decorated military veteran.
The president had previously issued 122 commutations and 21 other pardons. He’s also broadly pardoned those convicted of use and possession of marijuana on federal lands and in the District of Columbia, and pardoned former of violating a now-repealed military ban on consensual gay sex.
Didn’t trump Pardon people for similar reasons? That they’d managed to turn their lives around and he pardoned people guilty of weapons charges…
There’s zero chance he read beyond the headline.
You have this misconception I wont slate Trump for the same. Once Trump is in office and starts pardoning everyone and their dog, you will hear from me, ok?
I am also extremely against Trump’s Israel First policy.
Now it is about Biden.
It’s dictatorial when Trump does it, and it is dictatorial when Biden does it. The law should set these people free not the whims of one person.
A president should not have this kind of power. I didn’t like it when Kings had it, or when Putin has it or Xi. So I certainly don’t like this kind of power either when a US president has it.
And Biden and the Democrats are just massive hypocrites in every aspect.
Don’t you agree?
But he’s already done it? Plenty of times?
Yes in the past
I am commenting on current events and currently Biden is doing it.
What don’t you understand?
Tickles you whenever I criticise Biden and expose their double standards and massive hypocrisy?
What exactly is it you think you’re exposing here?
You’re just posting about the pardons having occured, any evidence of prominent democrats criticising Trump for using that power or was it moreso a criticism of how he used it. There was plenty of criticism on Biden for how he used it to pardon his son btw.
That Democrats and their lackeys in the media are full of it. Much of what they accuse Trump of they’re essentially doing themselves. I have posted plenty of instances in this and the presidential thread.
When Biden says he would not pardon his son as nobody is above the law and then does a mea culpa and pardons his son. That is just ridiculously hypocritical.
He could have said nothing or say he needs to think about it.
Media alludes to Trump is Hitler and goes on and on about how he will do this and that. Meanwhile it is democrats using lawfare against Trump. Democrats calling half the country nazis. White
Democrats lecturing minorities on how they should vote and think. Democrats talked no policy just trump bad trump nazi.
It is glorious democrats lost and lost bigly.
Distraction as usual.
This specific instance. You’re criticising this round of pardons by Biden and saying it proves Democrats double standards. How? Because for that to be true you’d need to show them criticising Trump for issuing pardons (as distinct from them criticising who he pardoned).
That’s Biden. One man. Not the democrats as a whole. And there has been criticism of it from Democrats like Newsome for example.
Assuming the following are people friendly to or aligned to Democrats:
In my opinion - as I mentioned before. A president should not have this power to begin with.
Biden commutes and pardons an unprecedented amount of people. That is a hypocrisy in my books.
Of course those articles exist. Trump did abuse his pardon power, as did Biden specifically in regards to his son (and i don’t know too much more about who he pardoned tbh).
What in those articles proves hypocrisy? Have the same authors or publications written articles praising or supporting Hunters pardon? Have they written ones criticising it? I dunno, but I’m not the one claiming hypocrisy.
You come into this thread and say that i doubt anyone would even respond and you might even get a few likes.
Its not though, unless he previously criticised pardons…again as opposed to specific or individual pardons.
All the scumbag corporations exposing themselves perfectly fine with authoritarian rule as long they get to keep their riches.
One of the first official acts of his presidency, Trump tells TIME, will be to pardon most of the rioters accused or convicted of storming the Capitol to block the certification of Biden’s victory. “It’s going to start in the first hour,” he says. “Maybe the first nine minutes.”
How do you feel about this then?
He should not pardon any of them who have used violence in any capacity during these riots.
It’s an abuse of power. Same way Biden abuses it.
Powers that be trying to make an example.
I knew this would happen soon enough.
I mean, from the outside looking in, he’s not wrong lol.
Valid to ask how much influence Musk has over Trump, Elon seems pretty involved in te transition. It kinda reminds me of the Raymond Tusk character from House of Cards.
Republicans in general if he follows up with his… ‘suggestions’.
They like billionaires so they can have him.
Outrageous to be pushing this so publicly.
