    53 million in tax payer money meant for social services…

    But Biden feels it’s just not a big fucking deal.

      He commuted all covid home release, non violent prisoners, I’m guessing none of them were as bad as this woman, but blanket sentance commutation sounds like a really bad policy.

        Why?

        What kind of criminals do you think were serving long prison terms but were approved for home detention instead?

        Like, you’d have to be able to support yourself, so it’s already people relatively well off without ill-gotten gains. And they’re not risking jail to shoplift a Snickers.

        If they risk jail its for very large amounts of money, especially because they can afford lawyers to get out of most stuff

        The lists been out two days, I doubt this is the worst person who got it.

          The kids-for-cash judge is, imo, worse, and he also got pardoned.

          I think the really nasty pardons here, by nature of how they were selected, just ended up being a further continuation of the two justice systems we have for the rich and the poor.
