Remember when that woman in Florida complained that Trump wasn't hurting the right people?

This is the mirror image of that. Biden is not helping the right people. Dear gods, these are the sort of people you expect Trump to pardon.
- Maybe this is the election we learn that the Democrats work for the same rich people as the Republicans?
The D's seem intent on trying to not win future elections. It's almost starting to seem like it's their raison d'être.
- The voters were stupid for not voting for us, therefore we can get away with the things they're too stupid to notice or remember.
  
  I mean this is literally correct.
- Lol. What are you talking about?
  
  Americans just made it abundantly clear that unethical behavior is awarded in America.
  
  Dems are just trying to play ball according to the new rules now.
  
  The more blatantly corrupt you are, the more likely you are to win.
I think this is one of the more depressing things I've read recently. Not only did the guy only get 17years for ruining thousands of kids lives, but he was serving time from home?

People like this don't deserve a pardon.
Doesn't America deserve a big "Fuck you" after the last round of voting? You don't care about ethics or even legality from your President? Ok, here you go.
- Yup.
  
  Line's been crossed.
  
  Ethics and norms don't matter now.
  
  Fuck it.
  
  Americans chose this path. Now we get to walk it.
  
  Totally. Everyone said "hey can't Biden do anything and pardon anyone???" Hoping he'd turn some progressive leaf, but Biden had the same though and said "oh yeah I can do that, might as well help out my ruling class bros"
Maybe he’ll pardon his dogs Major and Commander next. Joe fucking Biden 🤦‍♂️
On brand for Biden...

I honestly can't let this older one go. But no one seems to be talking about it lately.

Lol.

Who the fuck cares?

Americans clearly do not give a flying fuck about ethics or accountability. We voted so. We're on the record to prove we don't give a flying fuck. The majority of Americans just made a felon rapist who doesn't give two shits about democracy the most influential figure on the planet.

I hope he brings Charles Manson back to life and pardons him.
