Biden pardons nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders * 2
    #29092855 -

Happy for the 2500, but Joe could have done more, sooner ...

Biden pardons nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders
January 17, 2025 - ABC News

He is now the president with the highest number of pardons in history.

President Joe Biden has now issued more individual pardons and commutations than any president in history, after announcing Friday that he was pardoning nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders.

Biden said in the announcement -- which came just three days before his term ends -- that he is commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses and "serving disproportionately long sentences compared to the sentences they would receive today under current law, policy, and practice."

He did not provide additional details as to the exact number of people who would be affected by the clemency action, timelines involved or any of the qualifying criteria used for assessing the pardons.

"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who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes," Biden wrote.

In the 1980s, Biden supported several bills that increased penalties for drug users, including one that essentially lengthened sentences for crack cocaine users, predominantly African-Americans, as compared to those convicted of using powder cocaine, who were predominantly white.

Congress has since tried to address sentencing disparities through the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 and the First Step Act of 2018.

"This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars," he said, with no direct mention of his prior record.

He also acknowledged that the decision would set a historic precedent.

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

Hinting he's not done yet with his pardon power, Biden also wrote that he will "continue to review additional commutations and pardons."

I doubt many establishment Dems truly thought America would be stupid and gullible enough to give Trump another term.

Don't worry, Trump just pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists. Many of them known to be members of what amounts to domestic terror groups.

I'm sure he will get around to pardoning victims of the drug war soon. /s

Well at least the ones who can pay.

Just like Trump was the one who brought banning TikTok to the mainstream...until he was paid a "visit" by Jeff yass. But now he doesn't want to go through with it.

For context Jeff Yass has a 15% stake in bytedance, the ccp has a 1% stake.
No one gave a shit about TikTok until conservatives realized it was full of "liberal" content...and there isn't a single Damm thing they could get from TikTok that they can't already buy from Meta, Twitter, or Google.

Quote:
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR
