Your in jail for smoking weed, guy next to you in there for rape, murder, armed robbery and arms smuggling alright and 250th pardoned is this guyyyy as they help the other guy up to be let go
I chuckled at your “deserved pardons” line. As if that has anything to do with who would be chosen. Going by the pardons this administration has been handing out so far, just pick the top 250 business moguls doing time for fraud. Boom. 250 easy.
Idk if that’s better or worse tbh
