      It’s like the Dems think “well might as well do a bunch of shit no one will like, we already lost”

      As if people won’t remember in 4 years when they try and convince everyone to vote for them again.

      Which, admittedly, either people probably won’t remember or Republicans will have another candidate where it won’t really matter how bad the Democrats candidate is because the Republicans will be so much worse.

      (If there will be an election at all that is …)

    Not a huge fan of Biden’s presidency, but it sounds like his commutations were based on whether society deemed them eligible for home release during covid. I’m assuming he didn’t individually look at all 1,500 other commutations. Unless I’m reading it wrong, society deemed her low risk and she has been out of prison since 2021.

    Definitely sloppy tho.

    53 million in tax payer money meant for social services…

    But Biden feels it’s just not a big fucking deal.

      He commuted all covid home release, non violent prisoners, I’m guessing none of them were as bad as this woman, but blanket sentance commutation sounds like a really bad policy.

        Why?

        What kind of criminals do you think were serving long prison terms but were approved for home detention instead?

        Like, you’d have to be able to support yourself, so it’s already people relatively well off without ill-gotten gains. And they’re not risking jail to shoplift a Snickers.

        If they risk jail its for very large amounts of money, especially because they can afford lawyers to get out of most stuff

        The lists been out two days, I doubt this is the worst person who got it.

          The kids-for-cash judge is, imo, worse, and he also got pardoned.

          I think the really nasty pardons here, by nature of how they were selected, just ended up being a further continuation of the two justice systems we have for the rich and the poor.

        So the hope you all had was sorely misdirected then.

        Don’t worry tho, everyone here will find justification to vote them, again.
