“Joe Biden’s decision is a clear gross abuse of power. He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.”
By not killing people? Are they actually insane? I’m guessing just disingenuous bc the whole framing they’re doing glosses over the fact that these convicts are still going to do life without parole.
I guess if you follow the logic that the death penalty is the only deterrent that works, as opposed to just life on prison, Biden just told people that they can crime all they want, you won't get the death penalty.
This is obviously bullshit, but that's the thinking behind the statement.
Yup. The reason most of them are on death row is it takes literally decades of litigation before someone can be put to death (a good thing). By commuting their sentences Biden is saving the taxpayers millions.
Thank god. I was scared they’d try to get luigi killed during Trump’s term as a sort of example.
Not insane, just dishonest assholes.
I say both. Those things aren't mutually exclusive.
I don’t know. Insane implies they’re not responsible for their actions because they don’t know any better.
That isn’t the case these grifters are fully aware of what they’re doing and they don’t care.
He does seem to be losing grasp of reality, in addition to being a grifter. But I can't be making any real judgement about this either.
