      He ain’t the what any sane person would like, but in a crowded market of shitty politicians to choose from, he could be far worse - as many believe (myself included) we’re about to find out.

      Regardless, 1,500 people is a LOT to review the backgrounds of - especially with the time he has left. I don’t think we should be surprised a few bad apples made it through the review process, and I’d rather risk that than those who actually were deserving of it not get theirs as well.

      TL;DR: I don’t think an understandably rushed process makes him any more of an imperfect human being than he already was. I’m not happy with some decisions he’s made, but on the whole he’s been no worse than the average.

        He didnt need to rush it. Lets say a blanket statement on people who got arrested for weed, or committed crime against the state would have been easier to manage vs someone harmed someone else.

        Also the list could have been drafted a while back, but it was clear he doesn’t care.

        I Personally believe there is no redeeming for someone seeing the genocide in Gaza and can save millions of lives and choses not to do so. And if he doesn’t value the lives of kids and children, he doesn’t care for low class citizen if the united states as well because he lack the humanity to do so.

          From my understanding, this was a “blanket” release of those who fit certain non-violent criminal charges. Nothing in this world is perfect. Nothing.
