    He should have been doing it the whole time. He was just looking for exit kudos. Which is better than nothing I guess.

      Every president does this… Pardons are politically risky, so they wait until the end of their term and batch them.

        Yeah of course it is you Goblin. These are people. They’re not just numbers they are actual human lives. Waving away that they now have clemency is psychotic. Of course it’s better.

          Biden could have done this at any point in his presidency. He intentionally waited for it to be irrelevant.

          You and those like you are the precise reason that Trump is coming back into office.

              There is no point to you other than providing cover and apologetics to the failed politics of the Democratic party.

              Diffusing and providing excuses for the legitimate criticisms of their ability to govern to the needs of most Americans directly contributed to Trumps ascent into office for a second time.
