The move spares the lives of people convicted in killings, including the slayings of police and military officers, people on federal land and those involved in deadly bank robberies or drug deals.

    “President Trump stands for the rule of law, which will return when he is back in the White House after he was elected with a massive mandate from the American people.”

    Which he reminds everyone at every opportunity, and even when it’s not relevant. Just in case anyone gets distracted by his literally evil buffoonery and forgets.

    I’m glad he did this, but if you’re against the death penalty, then there is no reason for there to be any exceptions. Leaving those three men on death row is the epitome of hypocrisy.

    It’s also not well known that there are currently four men on a different death row for the US military.

    I see they learned a lesson about blanket commutations based on loose criteria.

    Assholes.

    Looks like he’s been doing a lot of pardoning.

    Biden granted clemency to the ‘kids-for-cash’ judge. The White House didn’t consider the case specifics.

    Conahan was convicted in 2011 of funneling juveniles to for-profit detention centers in exchange for more than $2 million in kickbacks. He was sentenced to more than 17 years in prison after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges. At the time, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania called the scandal “the worst in Pennsylvania’s history,” forcing the state to vacate thousands of juvenile convictions.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
