I don't think Biden's pardons are disgraceful. Protecting his family from scurrilous Repuke investigation/prosecution is about as decent a thing as I've seen a pardon used for. Joe preemptively took a hit to avoid his family, friends and a bunch of REAL patriots being dragged through the mud or worse.

Never would have happened had the American people not reelected an asshole like Trump.

The actions of Biden and Trump are certainly NOT comparable. By pardoning the insurrectionists of January 6th, Trump has given carte blanche to vigilantism. He's encouraged mob madness. He's showing there will be no consequences for WHATEVER his minions do in HIS name.

It's SICKENING... and feels like a groundswell of approved violence as long as it's done in TRUMP'S NAME.
