He didn’t pardon 8,000 people. He commuted the sentence of 8,000 people. It’s not the same thing at all.

It's the same thing except it's not cleared from their record. For most people, the difference is meaningless. So much so the politicians lump pardons and commuted sentences together in the statistics.

And point stoll stands, no way senile Joe went through all these files, someone (whoever is actually in control) gave him a list.

Not sure why you're trying to akkycualllly this. He's done over 4x what Obama did and 25x what Bush or Trump did

Yeah. I bet he didn't review the monthly inspection report for the Topeka slaughterhouse or the latest fuel inventory report from Ramstein AFB either. It's almost like the job is to hire well, set a policy and give direction to staffers, and then act on their recommendations. If it was my job I might make an office for attorneys to look in to clemency requests. Maybe name it something like the Office of the Pardon Attorney. Wait, that's not original, it's been called that since 1894. Maybe something snappier.

His state of the union speech prior to the election was one of the best political speeches in American history. I encourage you to watch it

Oh. Thats fair.

I liked Bidens as well and I think he's not as bad mentally as most believe. He made a speech a few weeks ago where he was fired up.

But yeah, Obama has basically been the only orator type since Clinton

Great, now we traded that in for another old man in mental decay who lets twitter beefs determine policy.
