Same as the old boss as in we truly have a two tiered justice system. Politician's son, pardoned. Jan 6th nobody, still sitting in jail. I voted for Trump 3 times. Glad I won't have to hold my nose and do it a 4th. I want a constitutional conservative with principle not a populist that talks too fricking much.

You also attempted to shame me for my “lack of compassion for a wife and mother.”
You’re doing that thing you and the rest of your friends here like to mock “liberal white women” for doing… something about prioritizing emotions and empathy?

There's no shaming you.

What kind of idiocy is this?? You can only oppose something if it “ruins and destroys your life?” Try, I mean really try, and see if you can write something more idiotic than this. I’m not sure it’s possible.

I guess you missed all the conservatives disagreeing with this action.
Too busy with cute derogatory labels, I guess.
We don't walk in lock-step like Democrats do.

There are probably circumstances we know nothing about that made this possible.
Trump has a "Pardon Czar", she's the person responsible for receiving all pardon request.
Her story:
Trump has a "Pardon Czar", she's the person responsible for receiving all pardon request.
quote:
Alice Marie Johnson, a Black woman whom Donald Trump appointed as his "Pardon Czar" (an informal title for his clemency advisor) in February 2025 during his second term.Johnson, a criminal justice reform advocate, was previously convicted in 1996 for her involvement in a nonviolent cocaine trafficking organization and sentenced to life in prison without parole. She served over 21 years before Trump commuted her sentence in 2018 (following advocacy from Kim Kardashian and others) and granted her a full pardon in 2020.In her current role, Trump has tasked her with reviewing and recommending individuals for presidential pardons and commutations. Trump has publicly stated that her recommendations carry significant weight, describing her as an "inspiration" and saying the administration would listen to her on clemency matters. She has been involved in or publicly commented on various high-profile clemency actions during his second term, and White House statements (including from Johnson herself on X) have credited her input on batches of pardons.This setup bypasses or supplements the traditional Department of Justice Office of the Pardon Attorney (whose head was fired early in Trump's second term). Johnson is often the key figure people point to when discussing who "reviews all pardon requests" under Trump.
Her story:
quote:
Alice Marie Johnson's story is one of profound hardship, personal downfall, resilience behind bars, high-profile advocacy, and an extraordinary turnaround leading to her current role advising President Trump on pardons.Born on May 30, 1955, in Olive Branch, Mississippi, she grew up in a family with sharecropper parents (her father was a reverend). She worked steady jobs, including a long stint at FedEx and later at a Kellogg's factory, while raising five children as a single mother. Life took a tough turn in the early 1990s: she developed a gambling addiction, lost her job, went through a divorce, filed for bankruptcy, faced foreclosure, and tragically lost her youngest son in a motorcycle accident. Struggling financially and emotionally, she made what she later called "one of the worst decisions" of her life—getting involved in a Memphis-based cocaine trafficking organization as a way to make quick money and pay off debts. She acted as a "telephone mule" (facilitating communications) and was involved in money laundering and structuring transactions to avoid reporting thresholds.In 1993, she was arrested along with others in the operation. Convicted in 1996 on multiple federal counts (including drug conspiracy), she received a life sentence without parole in 1997 as a first-time, nonviolent offender. The judge described her as a "quintessential entrepreneur" in a large-scale ring moving thousands of kilograms of cocaine. She served over 21 years in federal prisons, including at the Federal Medical Center in Carswell, Texas (where she became a certified hospice worker helping terminally ill inmates) and later FCI Aliceville in Alabama to be closer to family. While incarcerated, she became a grandmother and great-grandmother, exhibited exemplary behavior with no disciplinary infractions, became an ordained minister, and advocated for criminal justice reform from inside.Her case gained national attention in 2017 when a Mic video highlighted her story as an example of overly harsh mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses. Kim Kardashian, moved by the video, began advocating for her release—meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, working with Jared Kushner, and leveraging her platform. In June 2018, Trump commuted her sentence, leading to her immediate release after 21 years. In August 2020, he granted her a full pardon. Post-release, Johnson became a prominent advocate, authoring a memoir titled After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom (with a foreword by Kardashian), speaking on reform, and appearing in Trump's campaign efforts (including a Super Bowl ad targeting Black voters).In February 2025, during his second term and at a Black History Month event, Trump appointed her as his informal "Pardon Czar"—the first to hold such a role—tasking her with reviewing clemency requests and recommending individuals (especially those with nonviolent offenses) for pardons or commutations. Trump has publicly said her input carries significant weight, calling her an "inspiration." She's emphasized focusing on community safety, post-release support, and second chances, while defending some high-profile recommendations.

Biden had no qualms releasing a corrupt judge who took bribes to put kids in jail.
Crickets from the DU crowd.
They have no room to talk about political corruption—their party owns it.

This times a million.
Once LSUsatsuma owns up to his own party’s abject corruption—then we can discuss Trump’s pardons.
