Biden blows a kiss to killers, blows another kiss to drug dealers, pardons numerous members of his family as time runs out -- then Trump takes advantage by undifferentiated pardons for Jan 6 rioters.
Good post, but I think there are differences between Trump's pardons and many of those issued by Biden. While it appears most of Trump's beneficiaries were pardoned, they likely were a combination of pardon and commutation, since many of them were in or had been in the slammer. Many of Biden's beneficiaries hadn't spent a day in jail or, in many cases, hadn't even been charged with a crime. Trump's pardons and commutations were limited to actors in a particular event, while many of Biden's pardons included crimes known or unknown in broad time periods. There's an element of equal justice under law in Trump's pardons and commutations, for his beneficiaries felt the full force of the law while most of the 2020 rioters escaped justice. Jim Dueholm
Here is another distinction. None of those pardoned by Biden grabbed a police officer around the neck, told a crowd, “I got one!,” then dragged the officer down the Capitol steps and into the mob where he was beaten, kicked, and shot with a stun gun.
None fired a stun gun at a police officer twice, sprayed a fire extinguisher at the police, and shoved a wooden pole at a line of officers.
None punched and kicked police officers and attacked them with a flagpole, crutches, broken pieces of furniture and pepper spray.
None planned the riot at which all of this violence and much more occurred.
Trump's pardons extended to these and many other violent criminals.
You got it right and its why so many of us who hate the left opposed Trump. He is going to do these wrongful things, both terrible and cringe. Hes still better than Biden but it maybe didn't have to be this way. Well it is what it is. Its what the people voted for and we have to make the best of it, hope is overall policies are successful and that in 2028 a Republican with a better sense of decorum becomes president.
