Well...pardons work both ways, don't they? Trump's time in power is rather limited at this point.

    And his history of pardoning real criminals and genuine terrorists is well established.

    When biden pardoned his son, it seemed like a dick move, but the accusations against his son were 100% politically motivated. Trump's own sons did far, far worse and similar shit but got no legal trouble.

    Also biden commuting the federal death sentences of all federal inmates except for a few was also justified. Trump went insane with executions. He executed more people than any president of the 20th century. FDR had a record... But he was a 3 term president and half his executions were German saboteurs during ww2. Trump almost beat his record in 6 months... And I should mention that post 1963 until 2020 the US federally only executed 3 people. They were under Bush, and one of them was Timothy McVeigh.
