We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

Presidential pardons are meant for exactly this action; throwing out bullshit convictions that are wrong or purely politically motivated.

Great. I assume you’ll have nothing to say when all of the January 6th pardons hit.

Depends on what they did. There are probably very few who are still in jail. Most of the cases were little meaningless charges that I don't have a problem with being wiped off the books. There's probably no more than a few dozen who I feel were genuinely guilty of pretty heinous crimes who should not be pardoned.

You and I are in agreement, although I would estimate those in the “heinous” category at around five. There are some in the other category who are still in jail awaiting trial.

Nice attempt at undermining the convictions of people who a jury convicted of trying to blow up a democracy.

Nope.

Oh, that’s right. It was ANTIFA busting through those barriers.

Largely. That, and undercover FBI. Must be pretty boring in Texas if you’re wasting time arguing with me.
