Biden pardons judge who sent thousands of children to for profit detention centers

just waiting for the replys to focus on things the other side do...instead of commenting on the matter in hand.

IDGAF. Billionaires are the problem.

Fuck off, MAGA cunt Hortense.

Go focus on your convicted felon and rapist.

Also: You're out of your depth, R1. It's not about left/right anymore.

r3, You are the other side of the same coin as maga if you think this is ok.

Shocking and a big mistake. I don’t get the reasoning behind this.

R5 You're just a bitter cunt, Hortense, who isn't happy unless she's constantly bashing the Democrats.

Why are you even here? Why aren't you on "X" or "Truth" Social where you can jerk off with your other single-cell organisms?

Prison-industrial complex something something

r7, Why aren't you at bluesky if you're so partisan than any criticism of democrats is triggering for you? go to your echo chamber.

I am not MAGA by a mile but it is a disappointing use of the pardon for someone who used his judicial authority with children as pawns solely for personal cash.

the media should give this the same attention that Hunter's pardon got. they wont because that would open Biden up to obvious criticism and they cant do that.

R9 Ah, yes. I remember. You got kicked off of Bluesky, so that's why you're here now. :-)

This is disgusting.

Bollocks, r11. They gave Hunter attention because of several years of GOP noise machine in the media about him.

After all the outrage over Daniel Penny -- how many black kids were jailed by this guy, just so he could make a buck? Kids as young as 8, as the article points out. No outrage for this pardon? No cries of racism? Disgusting.

OP: Shame on Biden for pardoning judge who sent kids to detention centers!

Also OP: I love Trump because he puts he separates immigrant families and puts kids in cages!

R15 don’t pretend to be concerned about that now,

We can walk and chew gum at the same time, OP. We know you're just hosepipiing the right wing media's latest, no matter how many Guardian links you share.

This judge should be luigis next victim.

Well, that's Art II, Sec 2 for 'ya.

I have only a finite amount of mental, emotional and intellectual moral outrage and I'm reserving my store of those for January 20th, 2025 when Trump, at the permission of a majority of American voters, puts his left hand on a Trump Bible, raises the other, and guided by his loyal minion CJ. Roberts, dishonestly utters another US Presidential Oath of Office.

and I won't even be watching that.

Of course, to express moral outrage at a Presidential pardon is the exercise of the 1st Amendment at its finest.

I just don't bother to, given Art II, Sec 2.

And yes, I'd have that same position even for that gelatinous agglomeration of shit-cells, the despicable Donald Trump who, in a sane society, really would be publicly shunned, humiliated and in jail by now.

Yeah, I’m not happy about this. WTF.

I'm completely uninterested in Biden right now. I'm keeping my eyes on the big greasy turd coming in.

I’m not a fan of this judge, but whatever Biden does that pisses off people over the next month is a OK with me! I want to see MAGA tears! I’m tired of having to be the one held to a higher standard

Total NOTHING BURGER from the Daily Fail.

"Conahan was released from prison in 2020 due to Covid-19 and placed on house arrest, which had been scheduled to end in 2026." So basically this is just house cleaning, the guy was already out and on house arrest. Waste of taxpayer money to keep monitoring that guy with parole officers, court judges etc. He's non-violent so why bother if he's already out.

Remember, folks: Keep the conversation on billionaires in more mixed settings, not the Orange Menace.

r23, It's really only pissing off these poor kids and their families. its' not getting much play anywhere else.

AND he was NOT pardoned according to the article, his sentence was commuted, which just means shortened.

Biden most like pardoned him because he had a nice Irish name. Irish American politicians are like this. I lived in Chicago under Little Dick Daley.

r, For some reason that includes only white male White-collar criminals.

R25, the Orange Menace is a Billionaire now with his Crypto and Meme Stock. Not to mention he has hired 6 billionaires in his office so far, the most in history.

Biden is a slave to billionaires just like Trump is.

BS r29, Biden has pardoned more black men than anyone in recent history.

And now we have the rest of the story at r27.

I'm amused by Trumpers who feel the need to go on offense against Biden.

Why, one would speculate that their need to do so indicates that Trump needs all the defending they can muster and he hasn't even taken is false oath of office yet.

R6 Money that’s the mafuckin reason. The Bidens are lining their pockets. Hunter’s potential relapse WONT BE CHEAP. and they know the liberal college circuit will not be kind.

Biden's just a kinder, gentler slave to billionaires.

r32, I'm referring to the 1,300 people who got their house arrest sentences commuted so Biden can save the tax payers money (LOL Not buying that)

His house arrest will end two years early. Someone slipped up to let this guy out. .this has zero to do with Trump, TDS victims.

r37, And now Biden "slipped up" by letting this guys sentence end two years early.

either that or he's just really ficking careless and evil

I’m not sure who is a bigger piece of shit, Biden or Biden’s defenders who accuse anyone of criticizing him of being a Trumper. Especially Della, Datalounge’s answer to a question nobody asked.

Biden is responsible for Trump’s reelection. People like Della must be reminded of their culpability, daily.

Hi, Della stalker troll!

Della doesn’t have stalkers. Della just has a lot of people who hate they/them.

Sure, Jan.

A lot of Biden supporters in Scranton are pissed about this. They're talking about taking his name off the alley, street and expressway they so quickly named after him after his election.

Boy, what 'til OP finds out who Trump pardoned.

R44...and who he plans on pardoning...

They shouldn’t name anything after anybody until they’ve been dead 50 years at least works

Oh look! It’s a professional contrarian arguing with itself!

He’s probably not even American because he watches EastEnders.

You're really desperate, aren't you?

Bingo! You’re Eurotrash.

P.S. You, of all people, would know how to use a VPN. Have the day you deserve!

ROFL @ r49. I look forward to when you get to the part where I help other Americans who want to leave the country in that thread. I'm sure you won't be screenshotting that, though. Fool.

Without reading the thread—sorry—he was not pardoned. He was granted clemency. Op is dumb.

R51 well well. You’re a regular Eurotrash Harriet Tubman aren’t you.

OP is a MAGA asshole who continually posts anti-Biden shit here. She's desperate for attention.

I'm guessing she does it to reflect from Trump, who hasn't even taken office yet and who has already shown what a buffoon he is with his cabinet picks (not to mention how he's already backtracking on lowering prices and stopping inflation).

Hahah like I'd let some one-note asshole like you define anything about me. We're all on to you.

R55 Oh, Hortense. You've once again failed to get an anti-Biden thread going in your favor here.

Give it up and go iron your white hood.

I'm glad we have this to link back to so we can reference their tactics. They really went all out on this one.

Fuck Joe Biden. All my homies hate Joe Biden.

OK, R1, I'll play. From the article, which apparently you failed to read, the judge was already out of prison — for years, in fact — and had "reintegrated with his family and community." So first, the trash-receptacle rag quoted mischaracterized this as a pardon when it was a commutation of sentence, and of course made it worse by going to the victims' families and giving them incorrect information to solicit the exact quotes they printed condemning Biden without presenting the facts. Second, because it was a commutation, the former judge's record of guilt and conviction remain intact. He will forever be a convicted felon. And at least he served a portion of his sentence, unlike the many, many criminals that Shitler pardoned (like Roger Stone). Finally, a commutation suggests that there were extenuating circumstances surrounding this incarceration, not that Biden thought he was wrongly convicted (which is what a pardon would indicate).,

That said, this was a mistake on Biden's part, and I'd like to hear what his rationale was. Unlike the convicted felon soon to be in the WH (((shudder))), the Biden WH follows norms and the long-established process for vetting these cases, so there must have been some reason this was even presented to Biden for consideration. If only we had a functioning press corps to do their jobs... but that is a long-lost artifact to our modern era of vigilante justice, yellow journalism and acceptance of fake news. And, of course, OP's posting of this without context.

We should really be discussing whether or not the president should even have the power of the pardon, It's time to re-think this awesome power and responsibility.

I love that we eviscerated r1 before r59 even got here.

In reality, this is cold comfort for him as 1) I seem to recall he was permanently disbarred, and 2) he lost every dime he had in the ensuing lawsuits.

R44, Did any of those guys send kids as young as 8 to jail to profit? I think this is worse.

Still laughing at that cunt's stalky desperation because they got smacked down hard.

Troll thread

Troll OP

It!s ok not to approve of everything Biden does. We’re not in a cult. Although every time some idiot drags Trump into issues that don’t involve him, I think we may be.

Another Trumptard thread🙄

R63 Hortense keeps trying, keeps failing.

Biden is evil.

I saw the documentary on this fucker. Biden has the blood of children on his hands now.

Yes —thanks Biden for hurting children 🙀🙄

[quote] I’m not a fan of this judge, but whatever Biden does that pisses off people over the next month is a OK with me!

You’re embarrassing.

[quote] I saw the documentary on this fucker. Biden has the blood of children on his hands now.

Don’t they already say that over Gaza?

OP/ r68/ r69/ et al is also:

*The View — Part 31*

[quote]The democrats never should have had to force Biden off the ticket. He should have decided he wasn't running years ago and let's dems hmhold. Primary.

[quote]Instead his handlers tried to install his puppet government and the nation resisted it.

r7 33, I stand by it,. Trump is only in office due to Joe and Jill Biden's self interest. fuck em both.

Joe to the Democratic Party and 2028

“Go fuck yourself”

Trump and co's experiential reality will hit way before 2028. Calm the f down, r75. Corporate Democrats are a problem, but buyer's remorse got us Obama.

r76, And what did Obama get us? Trump and a more racialized country and tranny supremacy and romneycare,

You're so easy to uncover. No technique needed.

r78, No I'm asking for real. those are the only things that came out of the Obama eras as far as I recall.

Sure, Jan.

If people like Obama, who are tarred as bad despite the fact they have charisma and people actually like them and they win elections what Dem is left?

It’s not our fault the country went Right its Obama’s fault?

Dems actually progressives showing how ready they are for 2028

[quote][R7] 33, I stand by it,. Trump is only in office due to Joe and Jill Biden's self interest. fuck em both.

Well, OP...you try.

R79 Boy bye. Obamacare- can’t be dropped for pre-existing, millions of young people ensured via parents coverage until 27. Gay marriage. Osama Bid Laden. Saved the car industry. Have a seat.

popular opinion on gay marriage didn't change due to Obama. Obama's opinion changed due to popular opinion. the rise of social media was the biggest factor.

Nobody gives a damn about Osama bin laden.

and as far as I know, the car industry still manufactures overseas, except for Tesla Obama didn't change that. Bill Clinton sent manufacturing jobs overseas with NAFTA across all industries.

R84 You can diminish all his huge accomplishments all you want. Obama advocating for gay marriage and the SC’s decision impacted gay lives in significant ways. All throughout the land, gays could visit their spouses inn hospitals, make financial decisions when a spouse passed, become a whole and complete just like straights. All the gay men and women in Alabama, Texas, and Mississippi are forever grateful.

That troglodyte outed and discredited themselves with the trans either.

Epithet* (mobile)

Biden is the best President we’ve ever had and he is completely coherent and sane!

r86, 99% of trans women are white heterosexual men getting off on having their own breasts.

and the women are only getting manipulated into self harm for their own benefit.

getting tricked into self harm for the straight white mens benefit*

I'm sure you're an uthority on the topic.

r91, The numbers speak for themselves.

The Trans are all straight people troll is back on station and posting,

Mhm.

autogynephelia is a real thing. Ask Kim Kardashian who saw Bruce Jenner wearing her underwear as a young lady. these men sure never gave a damn to defend your gay asses lol, r93, r94

The authority you take your advice from is Kim Kardashian ?

Fascinating. And insightful.

The police, military, and prisons should NEVER be privatized.

If you accept that the government has the right and obligation to engage in these activities, then it's a fundamental abdication of their responsiblities to make them for profit ventures.

R96,Bruce Jenner is the just the most famous example of the 99% of the white het men who make up the trans movement

The hours for Art Bell Datalounge get earlier and earlier.

Trump is going to pardon people who attempted a coup against the US, injuring 100 officers. Ultimately killing 5.

Trump already pardoned all his criminal friends last time around.

Spare me any angst about Biden's pardons.

R100 you need a psychiatrist. We can discuss two things at once.

R100, do you mean the 4 officers who "committed suicide" months after the fact?

Or the ones who opened the capitol doors and let the rioters in? Cause that happened

[quote][R100] you need a psychiatrist

Such projection, r101.

People like R100 are why the democrats lost

[quote]People like [R100] are why the democrats lost

Hardly, r104.

R97 and thus the citizens have an obligation to participate. And if they refuse to participate then they get no vote on how the job is accomplished even if contracted out.

We are not a country of people that will no longer serve.

So we bring in hired guns and contractors..

R68 R69 Go away, Hortense.

It's not working.

r107, You are no different than the Magats you claim to despise if you're in favor of suppressing/ignoring the evil actions of an oligarch just because he's your oligarch.

Mhm.

The heterosexual white men supremacy enabling, oligarch jockie has spoken.

I wish I could go back to being as willfully ignorant as r109, but sadly I cant. It's fuck Joe Biden for me.

This judge is every bit as evil as the billionaires mentioned early in the thread. He just didn't have the connections/family to make it that far. But there are very few things more evil than what he did. This is someone who didn't deserve any mercy. Biden (well, his people) should have been more careful when they were going through the list.

[quote] People like [R100] are why the democrats lost

This shit again?

No, Trump won because there are more voting Americans like you who thought it was just fine and desirable to cast a vote for a bigot, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, 4 times bankrupted, Covid fuck-up, legally barred from running a Charity in New York BECAUSE HE WAS RIPPING IT OFF, Trump University Rip-off ( Trump had had to legally settle a law suit) Con Artist Carnival Barker.

Own your vote for Trump, Asshole.

As a Democrat I refuse to accept any blame for you going into a voting booth and casting a vote for the despicable Trump who I correctly, factually describe above.

Why is it Repugs NEVER accept responsibility for their own actions? They even guard Trump from himself.

And that's for r104 ^

R112 Biden is no oligarch.

It is not defensible, because, though I wouldn't expect any President to read about 1500 cases, SOMEBODY in the Administration SHOULD HAVEFLAGGED THIS ONE.

Teens had their lives and futures DESTROYED by this evil greedy judge! Any sentence not death was too lenient, and now a PARDON?!

[quote] Teens had their lives and futures DESTROYED by this evil greedy judge!

They were Black. No one cares

R117, In Luzerne County, PA? IDTS.

(Not to mention there's no mention of the victims' races anywhere.)

They were pretty much all white. Watch the "Kids for Cash" documentary.

It is about right vs. left. Economic populism that recognizes the working class is the majority that the elites make their fortunes on the backs of is always Left. The Dems are largely not "Left." And then there are people like AOC who are left on many issues but use class as another "intersectional" point in their ax grinding, when in reality it's the one thing that will unite the masses in their fight against tyranny.

"OP: Shame on Biden for pardoning judge who sent kids to detention centers!

Also OP: I love Trump because he puts he separates immigrant families and puts kids in cages!"

Hey, moron---there's more than a few million out there who don't like Trump or Biden. Some of them even voted for third party candidates.sorry to break it to you.

"They were Black. No one cares"

As someone else said, most were white.

"Own your vote for Trump, Asshole."

Guess what, cunt---lots of people simply didn't VOTE for anyone because they don't like the Democratic party's addiction to losing and blaming constituents. I actually voted for Kamala, as difficult as it was. But many didn't. It doesn't make them less progressive than you.

All outgoing presidents make massive pardons. It would be extraordinary if an outgoing President would use executive orders (and every last effort) to curb an incoming authoritarian administration of autocrats.
