Guessing they're regretting their endorsement now. Too late guys, still not donating to the FOP

 

For all the people complaining yesterday around 10 am about Biden's pardons, you think Trump is interested in some pardon reform?

lol

I fail to understand why it matters whether people are surprised by this move or not. It doesn't make it any less outrageous.

And is there reason to criticize Biden? Maybe. But I don't think criticism of Trump and every move he makes as President needs to be predicated or qualified by the actions of his predecessor.

I guess in short, i'm worried about all the 'outrage' I expect to see from the left every single time something happens.  Trump is putting kids in cages!!! Oh no, the outrage!!!! Oh, those pictures are from when Obama was president, well putting kids in cages is outrageous and I know about it now so i'm outraged and you have to be mad at Trump only!!!!

This is even worse.  For 3 years 1600 people that we promised we would protect have been wondering if the next day they would be alive and for 3 years we have dropped the ball.  Now that Trump is president though, time to publicize this and get outraged at him!!!! Him only!!!!   Biden was president less than 2 days ago, I think I have every right to be just as furious at him for screwing around for 3 years to get this resolved then I do for the equally outrageous bull**** Trump pulled by pulling the plug on it. 

Maybe Biden my ass.

Trump publicized this by taking this action in the first place. He felt it important enough even to take this action on Day One of his Presidency.

You realize he has agency and could very well have not taken this action, right?

Kind of forgot about this story. Stossel does a great job here.

Hey look! Squirrel 

I never want to hear a conservative say they back the blue again because they lie

It's downright fascinating how people can constantly believe Trump is on their side only to find out he isn't on anyone's side but his own. Been going on for 50 yrs and people still fall for it.

Even over the course of my life (36 years now), people have gotten more and more cynical and nihilistic. Social media, in particular, added gasoline to that fire.

What's particularly ironic is that I have family members who, back when FB first burst into the scene, would warn me against it and that it was bad. Fast forward to today, the roles are almost inversed lol

Regardless, Donald is just the perfect leader for the "LOL, nothing matters" era that we find ourselves in. Distrustful of others, negative about the world, etc.

It's more like the dumbing down of America. I'm old enough to remember when schools used to teach the constitution in Civics classes, which changed to "Social Studies." The dumbing down of America began several generations ago in our schools and now we're paying the price of that ignorance.

so when trump does terrible things repeatedly, your concern is not those things, but how the left reacts?

why so concerned with a small, weak portion of the party that has no power?

Guess we'll have to depend on the Canadian version.

Why are we still floggling this Obama canard?  Jeff Sessions literally announced the policy.

Well Eric, maybe your ass can understand this: if Trump wasn’t president the Afgan refugee program would still be in effect. But it’s not. And that is 100% on Trump. Yes, as was explained earlier there were many problems with getting those people out of the area and some of that blame can and should be laid on the Biden administration. The timetable for getting out was also a 100% Trump created problem. Now he has made it worse by ending the program. Sure blame to go around but your blindness to the root cause of it is bull****.

So the guy who wants the death penalty for drug dealers pardoned a drug dealer.  LOL

If you're referring to Ulbricht, also with evidence to suggest attempting a murder-for-hire scheme

Not clear why this is something to be celebrated?

Thanks for sharing - looks like it could be SOP, although with H5N1 going around, it seems like maybe they should do some of the onboarding on the fly.
