More than disappointing. It's disgusting.

I am not mad about Biden pardoning his son, I am mad about him ONLY pardoning his son.

There are thousands of petitions that have been sitting on his desk for his whole term, he promised to end the federal death penalty, + all the crack v. powder folks still sitting in prison

Disappointing!

Maybe he’s planning to do it before he leaves office

Can't see how it can be interpreted as anything other than purposeful, which makes it also petty, petulant, the work of a small mind

He still has time. Had he pardonned a whole bunch of people at the same time he’d be accused of trying to bury the pardon. The story is not over yet.

I agree. This was announced unusually early. The final onslaught of pardons are usually announced in the last days and the most controversial is announced the last day of the term.

Literally of all the things he could be doing right now.

I just realized/remembered this morning he explicitly promised he wasn't going to pardon his son.

What was the long game in that case, to try to do it when nobody was watching? Assuming that the judge was going to give him a sweetheart deal?

You don’t know what else he has planned before he leaves.

I am BEGGING you to leave me alone with this. I've seen him in action for 4 years.

I'm glad I'm not the only one sort of horrified by this turn of events. I did not think this would ever happen.

Do we know that is it for pardons? I mean Obama had a slew of them on his last day in office right?

danod50.bsky.social•88 days ago

This is not the only pardon he will issue. I'm sure there will be plenty more.

Exactly

Yes. Thank you.

When Joe has reached out to shake a GOP hand, he’s been kicked in the nuts. If his legacy is lingering too long in office he should go out with a bang. Commute all those federal death penalty sentences to life. That way, Donald’s crooks will have good company eventually.

There better be a lot more come Christmas.

Your wording is better....sigh

I'm hopeful that it was separated so it wouldn't look buried among others to avoid press. I actually am glad he did it, but if he doesn't do a shit ton more and soon, then that'll just add to my deeply disappointed in him list.

blakrozus.bsky.social•87 days ago

It was likely announced this early so that it was done in advance of his sentencing this month.

arissarox.bsky.social•88 days ago

I mean, despite being unfairly targeted, Hunter is still privileged af, and I bet if DT lost he wouldn't have pardoned him. Just this specific decision feeds into my pettiness. He better put that pardoning pen to work. God help him if this is all he does.

My father loves my brother and I, and he would definitely pardon us.

But he would pardon us last.
