    After Biden Pardons His Son, Prison Inmates Hope They’re Next
    President Biden has pardoned people convicted of some mar1juana offenses, but advocates for prisoners say he has been slow to grant other requests.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/us/biden-pardons-clemency-prisoners.html

    excerpt:

    “This pardon of Hunter Biden better be the first of a huge flurry of commutations,” wrote Rachel Barkow, a law professor at New York University, in a social media post. “There are so many cases even more deserving than this one that the Pardon Attorney has recommended granting, and they’re just waiting for Biden’s signature.”

    Would be amazing if he pardoned non-violent weed offenders en masse. Not only should these people not be in jail for an idiotic, corporate backed prohibition, it would hurt privately run prisons.

    If Biden's pardoning is the existential threat to civilization that MAGA online activists here like Os Trig are making it out to be, they should definitely call up their Senators, and Congressman to demand they legislate a new law that curtails, or removes the Presidential power to grant pardons.

    I fully support and encourage OS Trig who cares sooooo deeply about this issue to call up Ted Cruz or Rick Scott or whoever his senator is to demand that legislation be passed to make sure NO PRESIDENT ever again abuse the power of the pardon.

    Let's take a stand @Os Trigonum instead of just talking about it!!! You call Ted Cruz, and I promise I'll also call his office and second your voice to make change happen!!

    didn't realize I had done this. You might share the post where I am "making it out to be" an "existential threat to civilization."

    oh, and while you're at it . . . you might show the post or posts that demonstrate where I am a "MAGA online activist."

    reading is hard. comprehension is harder.

    Well you created a Thread about it so I figured it must have been important to you personally, and affected you personally to go out of your way to create a thread, and post dozens of time on the topic.

    That is an odd way to express that you actually don't care about the topic.

    (And yeah... you are definitely an online MAGA activist bubba).

    I'll admit at this point to being an online anti-Democratic Party activist. I continue to be amazed at how arrogant and genuinely stupid most lefties/Dems are about almost everything. That's very different, however, from being "MAGA" or however anyone from the outside-looking-in wants to spin it

    It might have something to do with starting a dedicated thread about the pardon in addition to spamming every existing Biden thread about it. "Existential threat to civilization" might be a bit of hyperbole, but you did make yourself conspicuous with how much effort you've put into this topic.

    Bowman to Biden: ‘Pardon the 40 people who are on death row’

    https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...en-pardon-the-40-people-who-are-on-death-row/

    excerpt:

    Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) is urging President Biden to issue clemency to inmates on death row after the president signed a pardon for his son, Hunter, over the weekend.

    “Don‘t stop at Hunter Biden,” Bowman told a CNN panel Monday. “Pardon the 40 people who are on death row right now to get them off of death row, number one.”

    “Number two, pardon the 3,000 people who are in federal jail for trumped-up mar1juana charges. Pardon them as well so they can get back to their communities and contribute to their economies,” said the New York Democrat who lost his reelection bid during the primary election. “That‘s what the president should do.”

    Ben Crump, Angela Rye call for Biden to pardon Marilyn Mosby after Hunter shocker

    https://thehill.com/homenews/race-p...e-hunter-biden-pardon-marilyn-mosby/?tbref=hp

    excerpt:

    Civil rights advocates are calling for President Biden to pardon former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who is currently on house arrest after convictions in federal cases earlier this year.

    Following Biden’s Sunday decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, after repeatedly saying he would not do so, attorney Ben Crump and political strategist Angela Rye said the president must remember “justice is still not served for so many in this country.”

    “There are thousands of people who have been wrongfully convicted and sit in federal prisons today. While Hunter Biden was selectively prosecuted, he’s not the only one,” the two said in a statement on Monday.

    All you do is promote left wing propaganda. You can't be hypocritical (of course you will)

    I don't normally post these things, but I do recall being extremely saddened when Trump pardoned that murderer.

    Navy Seal pardoned of war crimes by Trump described by colleagues as ‘freaking evil’
    Eddie Gallagher ‘OK with killing anything that moved’, Iraq veterans told investigators in testimony obtained by New York Times

    A Navy Seal platoon leader controversially cleared of war crimes by Donald Trump was a “toxic” character who was “OK with killing anything that moved”, according to fellow Iraq veterans who reported his conduct to military investigators.

    ... In a lengthy criminal investigation report, the navy detectives laid out other allegations against Gallagher, including shooting a schoolgirl and elderly man from a sniper’s roost. Members of Alpha Platoon’s Seal Team 7 alarmed by their leader’s conduct said they were initially shut down by military chiefs when they first spoke up, and told their own careers would suffer if they continued to talk about it.

    Sad they tried to shut down his fellow military members who tried to do the right thing.

    I believe the court Marshall and servicemen who were Navy Seals. Do you have an issue with that?

    Of course this guy actually killed people and isn't a laughable buffoon and clown like Hunter, so it's not as good for airplay even though it is much more disturbing.

    I don't have a problem but you never criticize anyone on the left.

    I think Hunter is more culpable than in a lot of things. The family is as corrupt as it gets

    I criticized Biden for pardoning his son. I praised Trump's nomination for Labor secretary. You seem to not actually read.

    I don't read everything on here obviously. So, if I missed your criticism then I apologize.

    Joe Exotic should reach out to Biden about a pardon if Biden is going to start giving them away.

    Maybe he can get one of those 11 year ones.
