Braindead Husk Joe Biden -- Or Really, the Staffers Illegally Running the Government -- Pardoned a Drug Kingpin Who Murdered a Mother and Her 8-Year-Old Child to Keep Her From Testifying Against Him as a "Nonviolent" Drug Violator

James Comer has posed a question: Unless Biden can prove he is mentally fit, and that he actually took part in the decision-making here, are these pardons legally binding?

So Biden pardoned a child-murdering drug dealer. So much Social Justice.

The ACLU demanded this pardon, and the Braindead Husk said "Okay" in exchange for some Parkinson's-soothing ice cream.

Joe Biden left the White House a week ago, but the scandal surrounding his mental health is only deepening.
On his way out the door, the former president signed a series of pardons at the ACLU's request. Billed as applying to "non-violent drug offenders" (which is an insanely broad generalization), they ended up including a drug lord who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying. Adrian Peeler is now set to be released in July.

Even pro-terrorist, pro-criminal propaganda outlet AP understands that this is bad.

Relatives of an 8-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged that a man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office.
Adrian Peeler served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of Leroy "B.J." Brown and his mother, Karen Clarke, in Bridgeport -- killings that shocked the city and led to improvements in state witness protection. Prosecutors said Brown and his mother were assassinated to prevent the child from testifying in another murder case.
In December 2021, Peeler finished his state sentence but began serving a 15-year term in federal prison for dealing large amounts of crack cocaine.
The federal sentence would have kept him behind bars until 2033. He is now set to be released in July.

Great.

The media jumped to cover the pardons.

I mean Trump's pardons, obviously.

Flagship newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC spent over 46 minutes covering President Donald Trump pardoning Jan. 6 defendants but barely found time to mention former President Joe Biden issuing preemptive pardons for his family, according to a new study.
During the final hours of his administration last week, Biden issued preemptive pardons for relatives James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden. That same day, Trump signed off on pardoning more than 1,500 charged with crimes stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, shortly after retaking office.
The Media Research Center analyzed flagship morning and evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC from Inauguration Day on January 20 through the morning of Jan. 22 to determine how the pardons were covered. While the pair of orders occurred on the same day, coverage was not exactly balanced.
Flagship newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC spent over 46 minutes obsessing about President Trump pardoning Jan. 6 defendants but barely found time to mention former President Biden issuing preemptive pardons for his family, according to a study from the media Research Center.
The Media Research Center analyzed flagship morning and evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC from Inauguration Day on January 20 through the morning of Jan. 22 to determine how the pardons were covered.
The conservative media watchdog found that ABC, CBS, and NBC spent 46 minutes and 32 seconds on the Trump pardons, compared to only three minutes and 32 seconds on Biden's preemptive pardons.
ABC's "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight" spent 15 minutes and 30 seconds on the Trump pardons compared to a brief 34 seconds on Biden.
"CBS Mornings" and "CBS Evening News" devoted 16 minutes and 32 seconds to Trump's pardons compared to only 64 seconds on pardons handed out by Biden, while NBC's "Today" and "Nightly News" spent 14 minutes and 30 seconds on Trump and less than two minutes on Biden.

---------

I have the same question. Whether he actually took part in the decision-making or not is irrelevant if he is mentally unfit, and I think we all know that he is. So I think all his out-the-door pardons are illegal.

10 As much as it may dismay others, I think the pardons have to stand because untangling all the official acts of a madman get us nowhere.

The truth is, these awful people will continue to be involved in crime, and with cartels now terrorist organizations, someone is going to have a date with a JDAM.

I think it's part of the mirror universe where they go on Blue Sky and tell each other that Vance was owned.

Even on TwitterX, there is very much an alternate universe where all of Trump's voters are filled with regret and weeping because eggs didn't fall back to pre-Biden prices in a week.

24 His own doctor declared Biden unfit to testify, there's really no way he was fit to make binding declarations. But the literally THOUSANDS of pardons he signed or had an autosigner sign have bought him a lot of protection. A bunch of people are in dire straits if they are overturned.

But the question I have is... is it really a pardon, by any logical or legal defintion, if the recipient has not actually ever been even charged with a crime, can they be pardoned?? What are they being pardoned FOR if there was no actual crime listed?? Its like declaring someone not guilty of... nothing.

I suppose the calculus would be that if the Prez is thought to be of unsound mind, the 25A exists.

Idle thought : if a president has to explain the rationale behind a pardon, or prove sound mind, wouldn't that create a legal requirement that bars the issuance of a pardon? I don't think it would be an absolute power after that.

She is a Bishop according to her tradition. There may be women Bishops who call themselves Bishopess, but I expect I know a few more women in the Protestant ministry than you do and none of them refer to a woman as Bishopess.

This right here is the true scandal of the century, so far.

It's petentlyobviou not just form the pardons of longstanding extreme-left poster-murderers like Leonard Peltier, but evn more twllingly by the unhinged "ERA is part of the Constituion!!!" tweet, that everything being done in Biden's name was in fsct being done by his far-far-far-left hsndlers, and has been for the past four years.

This is, therefore, esentially a coup-d'etat, of the most powerful country in the world, right in friont of everyone' eyes.

Especially considering the second bigges tscandal of the 21st century s farlk the stealing of the 2020 electin in the first place.

74 Death is an absolute disbar from being President.

That is correct but... where does it say that in the constitution, or the section about pardons? See my point here? There are legal principles being assumed that aren't specifically written down: dead people cannot carry out legal actions. The Constitution didn't have to say that.

The Constitution says the President may pardon persons for 'offences against the United States

What are the offenses committed? We're into the legal definition of a pardon here: is it actually a pardon to say "well they are not convictable for whatever they may have done over this time period" or is that something else?

Did his doctor say that? I thought his Doctor's last fitness report said that Biden was fit as a fiddle both physically/mentally even though everyone including barnyard cats knew that he wasn't. It was Robert Hur's report on his keeping classified docs that said that he had trouble remembering things, would ramble during questioning, etc. and that it wouldn't be right to put him in front of a trial due to his age and forgetfulness or something like that.

102 Having a faulty memory does not equate to full mental lack of competency.

When my mom signed legal documents making me her power of attorney and her will, the lawyer asked her questions all centered around her memory: who is president. What day is it. Who are your sons? Where were you born? Etc. That's how you test if someone is legally competent.

I was in error, it wasn't his doctor but a special counsel that was assigned to check on Biden's fitness to face legal challenges:

"Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

"the 81-year-old did not remember the dates of his vice presidency and when his son Beau died."

"It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him -- by then a former president well into his eighties -- of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness."

Those were all parts of the report. All of that is legal evidence that he's non compos mentis, to a judge.

This is why people plea, that isn’t foreign. But on paper, there would be guilt. I am just saying to imply guilt there has to be something of which you may be guilty of doing, or at least accused of doing.

153 In a properly functioning economy, you will always have inflation, because you must have inflation to equilibrate growth.

You need to have some inflation to goose consumers into spending instead of waiting for lower prices (as in a deflation).

As I said, the best way to help pull ourselves out of this tar pit, is to supercharge energy production and drive down those prices, that single thing alone will have so many knock on effects that if done quickly enough, will produce shocking results.

This is why the Reds have tried so hard to restrict our energy production. Nothing to do with "climate change." That's just the pretext. Hamstringing energy production guarantees economic stagnation, which in turn provides useful vehicle for agitation.

If half the gas supply vanished in a Thanos fingersnap then suddenly the price of gas would double. This would not be inflation, but due to scarcity.

161 It would take a constitutional amendment to limit the president's power to stop blanket pardons.

I agree that it is likely nothing will be done about them, but you could take it to court and make the case that its not actually a "pardon" as legally defined to say "whatever you may have done from x to y no longer can be legally acted upon." That would not be an attack on the president's constitutional power nor an attempt to limit the pardon, only to define something as not being within that power.

181 proper economics: inflation is an increase in the supply of money and credit. there is no such thing as economic stability. prices will always fluctuate depending on supply (farmers have a bad year prices go up, farmers have a good year prices go down away) and demand (do i even need to explain that?)

the reason a currency based on gold is good is because the politicians and central bank can't create gold out of thing air. as the economy grows (if it does) prices as a a whole will go up or down depending on a lof of factors, including how much the supply of gold in fort knox increases.

'So Friday night I got an email on my work phone, and I checked it, and there was a said White House notification, and I knew that can't be good.. the email came in at 7:30pm and contained just two sentences from the director of presidential personnel.

It stated that in light of changing priorities he was terminated from the position effective immediately. "

True. I read comments sometimes on UK DM and many from the UK and Europe wail they want a Trump now!

I have noticed that Trump 2 is more soft spoken,measured, and under control vs his flaming skulls of 2016.

More people listen this way, altho the last week has been the kingpin of flaming skulls in energy and joy.

He has others doing the jobs that need to be done and it has been a glorious time in American history. And hold on to your hats, it's only been seven days!

Biden had two trannies in his admin - Adm Levine and Atom Dogboy.

Levine was an abject failure in pretty much every way you could imagine. I think Atomic Dogboy was just a regular government drone failure outside of his theft and sexual exhibitionism.

But if both had been banned from working in the government we the people would be better off.

And...Trump didn't do that - he'd just make both of these guys wear pants to work. I know the horror of having to wear pants...

You're a frigging rent seeker. Most Boomers are. Just because you had access to cash first doesn't mean every younger owes you a profit.

Who is this polluter nimrod?

I am a boomer (I think?). While our parents had money, my husband (oops! partner) and I paid our own way after college and know what poor is like and did not whine about it like this current generation.

We are far from poor now because we worked our butts off in college and chosen careers. Oddly while raising successful children who are not whining now about their boomer parents. That's how it's done.

Margaret is still not spelled correctly.

And therein lies the problem; he should have been executed. By now his stays would have been exhausted.

Technically, the sentence he was currently serving was non-violent (distributing large amounts of Hunter's nose candy)...
