WASHINGTON, Aug 30 - U.S. President Barack Obama shortened the prison sentences of 111 convicts serving time for drug-related offenses in his second round of clemency grants this month, the White House said on Tuesday. Obama has now granted a total of 673 commutations during his presidency, more than the number granted by the 10 previous presidents combined, as he seeks to reform the criminal justice system, it said. For some of the convicts, the commutations mean they will serve only half of their original prison sentences. For instance, Sly Stallone Aikens of South Carolina, serving a sentence of 36

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Drugs and weapons offenders. I wonder how many are white?
So we can watch these convicts and verify the recidivism rates and see if Onambla and Soros were right (unlikely).
The unfortunate thing will be the lives lost to these people’s egos
They are always concerned about the racial distribution to make sure there is no discrimination by race compared to the overall population. I wonder if they will adhere to their standard in this? Will the press push them to provide an explanation? .
Is that raciss of me?
We all knew this was coming....
No, you’re just telling the truth.
If one does commit a crime, an enterprising lawyer could stir up a hornets next with a case against the Exec Branch, no?
Let me guess....109 of them are black or Hispanic.
“Death to Americans!” - Hussein
Transforming Amerika....
destroying our economy and jobs
destroying or weakening our defenses and those of our allies
importing hundreds of thousands of enemy Islamic fighting-age-men trained to hate and want to destroy us
releasing violent criminals and drug pushers from jails
...
yes, the ONE thing he said that was true.... he wanted to Transform Amerika.... and he’s doing it right up to the end of his regime.... every damned day....
Just buffing up his “domestic security force”.
We ain’t seen nuthin’ yet with respect to pardons. He is going to take the pardon power to undreamed of levels before he leaves office, mark my words.
That Obama would empty the prisons before leaving office was one of my original greatest fears about him becoming President.
Now everything I was worried would happen has come to pass.
I wish I had made a bet with some lefty in denial back then I could collect on. I can remember arguing with some lefties before Obama was elected that he would open the borders and allow a flood of illegals to enter, to which they claimed he would NEVER do such a thing.
I'd be more interested in the reverse, as the War on Drugs ostensibly is rooted in the absolutely terrible Wickard case and uses congress's power over interstate commerce… except Raich revealed that commerce isn't required.
I think that the War on Drugs, just like the Federal Reserve raises interesting 'answers' to the question by what authority?
, as they usually tend to be (a) circular reasoning or (b) appeal to [illegitimate] authority when pursued enough.
And without one ounce of resistance from our so-called ‘Other Side’ - Only people who HATE America and all it represents would do what Obama and his Globalist ilk have done and want todo . This is not incompetence on Obama’s part or not getting it, as I so often see people write even here on FR. I do have confidence, however, that this NWO Chaos will end up taking Obama, Soros, Satan’s team, et.al., down, down, down. Jesus will see to that with our help and prayers.
I believe that you are correct, sir.
There's bad feelings between him and the Clintons, but it's not inconceivable that he'd pardon them*; it's not inconceivable that he'll pardon those involved with the Iran Deal; it's not inconceivable that he'll issue mass pardons in the last few weeks before the elections (111 really isn't a "mass pardon" in the sense I'm thinking).
* - Especially if he can get a I'll pardon you, you pardon me
political deal out of it.
it is not accidental and it is not incompetence
it is highly competent... they keep digging USA down more and more...in a consistent and persistent manner indicative of great deliberation, intent
