Latest Trump success.

Let's see, He pardoned The 1500 People that Stormed the Capitol and injured many Capitol Police officers, and threatened to kill Nancy Pelosi, and the Vice President. So Now he's releasing two people that scammed Banks for 30 million dollars! In His Felonious mind this Seems reasonable! I mean he was convicted of only 34 Felonies. And brags how He could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and not have a problem, or He can grab Women by the Pussy and they Love it!

Now that is a nice example of false information, probably from some fake news or conspiracy website.

Biden did commute the sentence of 1.500 people. In law, "commuting a sentence" means reducing a criminal punishment to a less severe penalty. This is different from a pardon, which removes the conviction altogether. Which just happened to the TV couple btw.

A major reason for the commutation was to get rid of discrepancies; the US put -percentage wise- more people in jail than any other country. Much more than Russia and China. Also, people like drug offenders stay(ed) in prison longer. Effects from the ‘war on drugs’ programs from decades ago.

After they saw the light they implemented the Fair Sentencing Act for instance which decreases penalties. And now non violent drug users who were rotting away in jail got some leniency.

Tomato, tomato. When Biden pardons (or equivalent), it's acceptable, when Trump does it, it's not. In this case semantics doesn't buy you much from average Joe. Who other than Biden has ever given a pardon that covers any crime for 10 years, known or unknown? That doesn't seem like a stretch to you? Who would have thought that Biden would pardon his son before Trump pardoned his?
