Biden commutes sentences of 37 federal death row inmates

[GrahamWellington]

Joe Biden saw fit to commute the death sentence of 37 death row inmates, including this Michigan case:

According to Biden, "the federal government should end the use of the death penalty “except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder”. Apparently, raping his victim and then deciding to kill her just ahead of her testifying in the case by restraining her with tape, handcuffs, and chains attached to a cinder block and throwing her into a lake to drown didn't rise to that level. Or the fact he almost certainly murdered her 11 month old daughter. And most likely murdered three other people who were witnesses to the case.

I hope this guy gets cancer and dies a long, slow, agonizing death.

Unbelievable.

I think Biden is just doing stupid shit now because he was denied the opportunity to run for a second term. He's acting like a cranky old man at a senior care facility that sits in his wheelchair outside and angrily yells at things. I'm certain, with his mental cognition decline, he doesn't fully understand some of the consequences of his actions any longer...

Can we PLEASE stop (re-)electing these old people to positions of power?

I support this action - the death penalty is abhorrent.

Agree. They should put an ankle monitor on him and let him live with you. Of course the government should compensate you for groceries and toilet paper.

“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden’s statement said.

"But I have no problem announcing this just before Christmas, when families of the victims are most likely more sensitive of the fact they will be spending another holiday without their loved one(s). But what better news for them than to find out the murderers of their loved ones will receive a gift that was not extended to their victims."

But he didn't commute the sentences of the Boston Marathon blast, the Pittsburgh Synagoge killer, or that kid assassin in the black church. Why not? If he believes the death penalty is wrong, he should at least be consistent. He's an old hypocrite fraud who should just go back to Deleware and die.

I believe he said acts of terrorism and hate motivated mass murders should be exceptions.

Because they are less heinous than what the pile of human garbage Graham cited did? Or is it politically based? Fuck this senile hypocrite.

Obama and Biden gave us Trump.

In some part. The Republican Party had to sell out as well.

No doubt, but he did need the initial desire to run. Biden claimed he saved the country from Trump four years ago, yet he somehow gave us an even worse version of Trump. He won't be remembered favorably.

True. But I'll still put the onus on the GOP. They...Trump minions....we're always fighting against something, obviously the Democrats failures that have been discussed ad nauseum. Now they have to DO something. With no real policies or agenda. And an ideology that is all anti-Democrats. Let's see what the orange mother fucker accomplishes in the next four years, if he and the world survives that long.

[Matt]

It boggles my mind that people think this is a good thing for the country.

I still have problems dealing with it. Probably always will. But the majority of the country voted for it, so I'll respect the decision, sit back and watch. The fact that he has to actually do something now is the rub. Like the dog who chased the car and caught it. What now?

(Apology to all dogs for that analogy)

I'm completely opposed to all Capital Punishment. I was just attempting to explain Biden's reasoning.

In the end, none of this is any of my business.
