“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.
- "Huge" "mandate":
  (if "Didn't Vote" was a candidate)

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

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.
- He needs to go all the way for sure!

Good job. Now end military aid to Israel

Biden's truly going out with a big fuck you
- that big fuck you is to the working class

92.5% of the way there

“Biden takes the steps to undermine the Nazis.”

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.
