I care that he's not pardoning people in immigration detention. Instead he just pardons his crackhead son and leaves.
Yup he could on the way out make dreamers and none criminal migrant citizens but nope. Remember it's a small club and we ain't in it. Also shows Democratic leadership is happy with any outcome of elections because they still come out on top regardless. Did Nancy Pelosi's or Obama's life become more difficult because of the election? Nope. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are still going to get their beachfront Villas in Gaza. So they never really try to win.
Hakeem Jeffries is still the main Democrat who directly backed and supported Eric Adams in his bid for NYC Mayor and when asked about the indictment said this:
Jeffries is just another Pelosi and was picked because he doesn't care either. He won't apparently try for better just enough to make sure they keep as much power as they can.
He can't blanket pardon people. He would have to do one for each person.
He could still pardon them all, it's not like his hand would cramp from signing too many papers! Go through, one by one, and pardon them all.
And all the people on federal death row, that Trump is going to kill.
And all the people with federal marijuana charges.
And people like Leonard Peltier and Julian Assange while he's at it.
What's stopping him?
