President Biden announced Friday morning he is commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 inmates as the end of his presidency draws near.

The commutations are for people convicted of non-violent drug offenses "who are serving disproportionately long sentences" compared to what they would receive if sentenced under today's law.

"Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes," Biden said in a statement.

The president said now is the time to "equalize these sentencing disparities" as recognized through the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 and the First Step Act of 2018.

"With this action, I have now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in U.S. history," Biden said.

He's Dead Jim !

So who is getting the bribes from the gangs , cartels, and rich relatives and friends? Soros banks must have anonymous trust accounts for Joe the Brainless.....

[brooklin]

Must be friends of the smartest person he knows, Hunter...

[laconic]

Three more days of incompetence, corruption and long-lasting destruction from this incompetent boob of a man.

[alloysteel]

77 hours remaining, and counting down...

That is the deadline on the reign of incompetence.

of course, this is about race and making people feel better about themselves. They speak of the divide between sentencing for powdered cocaine and crack. The black folk love the crack. Whitney Houston famously stated using the royal “we,” that, “we don’t do crack. Crack is cheap. Crack is whack. “ Later, the autopsy revealed that 76% of her body weight was crack. She loved the crack. ALL the crack.

Biden is all for lawbreakers. He lets people off the hook for legal sentences. He lets people get out of their debts that they owe. He lets the mentally disturbed LGBTXYZ freaks off. He sends our tax money to the criminals in Ukraine. He has drained the US military, spent us even farther into debt. He has demonized all normal Americans. Stolen elections have great consequences.

Kind of ironic that cocaine was actually found in the White House, isn’t it?

I’m sure that it was the only time it was ever there....rolling eyes here.

The commutations are for people convicted of non-violent drug offenses "who are serving disproportionately long sentences" compared to what they would receive if sentenced under today's law.

People sentenced under Bidens 1994 crime bill?

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Biden hates the American justice system.

IMPEACH!

[sauropod]

/HURL!

[suasponte137]

I’m just hoping there’s no pardons for General Miley, Liz Cheney, Vindman, and all those other clowns that I love to see prosecuted

Hell, I love to see Peter strzokb and Lisa Paige dragged back in a court but I don’t think that’s possible

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

It's going to be cold as hell Monday in DC, a low of 9 degrees high of 23 with snow expected the day before. Hopefully this will prevent the democrats insurrectionist group Antifa from doing what they did Jan.20th 2017 which resulted in every last person involved having all charges dropped unlike the J6 stolen election protestors.

Crack is whack.

Later, the autopsy revealed that 76% of her body weight was crack. She loved the crack. ALL the crack.

As I read this, I thought what would follow after the 76 was pounds ... as in how much she weighed after years of drug use. Funny thing is she seemed so wholesome before she hung out with and married Bobby Brown.

As to "crack being whack," I remember the more recent comment by Snoop about a particular MJ strain, "Green Crack is whack."

[Ann Archy]

AMEN!! Biden LOVES EVIL!!!

[Cowgirl of Justice]

If the election is proven to have been stolen, how much of his damage can be undone.

[bert]

If proven, then nothing Biden did stands.

However, the evidence to prove the election was stolen will never be produced in a court of law.

A better course, the only actual course is to destroy the individual people responsible. They have all forfeited their right to live

[GOPJ]

Demoicrats love criminals and evil people. Go to any prison and 90%+ of inmates are democrats.

[TimSkalaBim]

“Non-violent drug” cases with “disproportionately long” sentences are usually a sign they were three-strikes cases involving large wholesaler-quantities of illicit drugs. Will be interesting to see how much mayhem these releasees cause when they return to their old haunts. Whoever Biden is pandering to, is he really doing them a favor?

[TexasFreeper2009]

He should be commuting the sentences of J6 protestors convicted of non-violent offenses “who are serving disproportionately long sentences” compared to what they would receive if sentenced as Democrats for similar behavior at BLM riots.

There, fixed it.
