WASHINGTON — President Obama granted 98 more commutations to federal inmates Thursday, bringing the total for this year to 688 — the most commutations ever granted by a president in a single year.
In all, he's now shortened the sentences of 872 inmates during his presidency, more than any president since Woodrow Wilson.
"While there has been much attention paid to the number of commutations issued by the president, at the core, we must remember that there are personal stories behind these numbers," White House Counsel Neil Eggleston wrote on the White House web site. "These are individuals – many of whom made mistakes at a young age — who have diligently worked to rehabilitate themselves while incarcerated."
I don't think this is what the Founding Fathers intended when they created presidential pardons.
This power is supposed to be a workaround actual miscarriages of justice, not subvert the will of the states and the people to decide how to punish criminals on a massive scale.

All this does is dump unemployable niggers back into the community and many of them pick right up where they left off in their lives of crime.

They were reluctant to create Presidential Pardons and this is exactly why. They were tired of people back in England getting off scot free because of Royal Pardons and didn't want the same thing happening in America

There are dozens more - I only listed those with the words "kilogram" or "firearm" in their info. Of those dozens, basically all of them are drug dealers, mostly crack dealers, and you know this based on the amounts: Anyone rocking more than 5 grams of a coke/crack is a dealer, let alone more than 50 grams or some shit.
Cooper Robinson
I would guess most of them.
Julian Ward
OOH OOH I GOT IT GUISE
All of O'Bummer' pardons have been males. This is flagrant sexist and discriminatory behavior, especially when it is well known that #women are less violent than men, are not meant to be in prisons, and are the primary victims of war.
We need to call out his bias and shame him for ignoring the neglected women inmates and perpetuating patriarchal tyranny in this bold and unparalleled frenzy of presidential commutations.
MAKE IT SO NUMBAWAN
Charles Jackson
King nigger making places in Jails so his coon ass and all the traitors won't have to share their cells with people from the Aryan Brotherhood and other prison gangs.
back to >>>/liberty/ , lolberg.
You do realize that to fix the whole corrupted globalist shitshow all over the west quick enough, benevolent dictatorship with the national interest in mind will be required, right?
Jaxson Thompson
Completely lost hope, didn't he. Trying cause as much damage as he can to make Trump's life a hell.
If make it out of this alive, Obama's name will pretty much become damnatio memoriae'd. First one after a long long while.

China needs to publicly flog Obama while he screams Allahu Akbar.
Oliver Cox
You know, this might be perceivable as a nice thing. If it wasn't for they're all fucking cocaine dealers that had a ton of cocaine. Do liberals even hear about this shit? I can understand them agreeing with pardoning minor marijuana possession, but who's the idiot supporting setting dealers, specifically cocaine dealers, free?
Hudson Lewis
you put one not so spoiled apple in the bunch and libs will think the whole basket is redeemable.
Jordan Gutierrez
The white supremacist system forced them to deal crack and made crack more illegal than coke just to put more young goodboys in prison instead of college.
Dylan Kelly
So what's the limit on this stuff anyways? Could a president, theoretically, release every single criminal in the country?
Noah Collins
if there was a limit he wouldn't be wasting it on small time niggers.
Carter Walker
He could only pardon every federal criminal :^)
Kevin Garcia
Pardons can also be issued preemptively.

Nice pic, but where's the watermelon and chicken?

Yeah, because he's releasing Aryan Brotherhood members.
Idiot.
Grayson Butler
Holla Forums was right again
Connor Anderson
They also didn't have a DEA pushing these laws either, so make your pick. Illegal bureau trampling on the citizen, or you endorse the system as is in its entirety as America is precedent based, and then Obama can be considered wrong.
All of these are against the Founding Father, save the actions of these free men.
Christopher Green
Because the black community isn't fucked up enough as is, we need to release all the nigger dealers that we spent time and money on getting them behind bars.

It's amazing how Barry still hasn't been shot. No one can make this many enemies amongst the people and still live.
