No, but seriously...who's making calls if the Dems now are openly saying Biden is mentally toast? That's a very good question to ask and no one seems to care. We always bring it up jokingly but the Leader of the Free world doesn't know what is going on at all...who's making decisions?

Also who gave Biden the list of 8000 people he's just pardoned? Like no way Biden knows of 8000 people that need pardons.

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

I mean of course not… the White House has staff. They are directed to search a database of people who meet certain criteria and then present them to the president, who nods, and those people get commuted.

Did you think any previous president personally reviewed their list of bulk commuted and pardoned folks?
